Wearing flowers is not just for a special occasion like a prom or wedding. If you love flowers, you can wear them anytime you want! Flowers are not just for women; men can wear them too. Lapel flower pins can be used to accessorize any outfit. Whether you want to liven up an outfit for work, or use them as a date night accessory, there are no boundaries! The only time you wouldn’t wear a floral lapel pin would be in the case of a dress code situation where they are prohibited. For example, wearing a flower lapel pin on a work uniform, military uniform, police, fire or EMT uniform may not be permitted. In some work environments they may find lapel flower pins to be too flamboyant. In the case of a funeral, you may go for more of a somber dress code and leave the flower lapel pins at home.
Wearing a floral lapel pin is very easy. Most jackets and blazers have a buttonhole specifically designed for a flower lapel pin. Typically, you would wear your lapel flower pin to the left side of your jacket. The romantics of the world believe that the flower is meant to be closest to the wearer’s heart. This tradition dates to the 1800’s when men started to wear flower lapel pins thanks to Prince Albert. During his wedding photoshoot with Queen Victoria, he wore a small flower in the lapel of his jacket. This started a trend of men wearing flowers in their jackets on dates, work related functions and formal occasions. Should a man wear a flower lapel pin and a pocket square at the same time? Sure! There are no hard rules that say wearing both at the same time is a Faux pas.
Women have many options when it comes to wearing a flower lapel pin. They too can place their pins in the buttonhole on the left side of their jacket. Women can also proudly display their floral pin on a scarf, hat, sweater, blouse or shirt. Some women wear their flower lapel pin on the collar of their blouse and treat it like wearing a brooch.
Choosing floral lapel pin colors is really a personal preference. If you are looking to compliment your current wardrobe with suit flower pins, you may want to go with more neutral colors, so your pin blends well with your garment colors. If you wear more darks, then opting for darker flowered pins may be more your preference. However, if you want to add some flare to your darks you may opt for more vibrant pin colors that will stand out better. You could also add some flower printed pins to the mix if you want to really add some flare to your appearance!
Earrings, necklace, cufflinks, bracelet(s), bow tie, and a watch can all be meshed well with your flower lapel pin accessory. You may want to consider the colors of your other accessories and try to complement those colors when adding a flower pin to the mix.
If you are going for a jewelry-like look with your flower lapel pin you may want to consider purchasing a Cloisonné flower pin. A Cloisonné pin looks and feels smooth and shiny and can include a wide array of colors. While the Cloisonné pin may be the best option when using a flower lapel pin to accessorize, others have opted for a Soft Enamel or Die Struck type of pin. A Soft Enamel pin offers a three-dimensional appearance, is cost effective and durable compared to a Die Struck pin which is also affordable but is a metal lapel pin without painted colors. If you have a design that does not require colored enamels or printed images a Die Struck type of pin could be a good option.

How Can a Lapel Pin Be Used to Show Appreciation to Your Employees? Employees are a company’s most valuable asset. Duh. Sure, anyone in business knows that…or should. But here’s the thing, although we all realize employees should be appreciated doesn’t mean we’re all aware of the opportunities to reward, in small and significant […]
Lapel Pins Have Been a Part of the Law Enforcement Culture for a Long Time. The use of police lapel pins in law enforcement can be traced back to the first known use by the New York City Police Department in 1905. All officers were issued a brass pin that was worn on their lapel […]
The PinMaxx team is really amazing...quick responses and accurate communication. I am 100% satisfied with their service.
Alex Moreno
Scott was super helpful with my order and got them to me super quick as I ordered last minute. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will use again in the future.
Samantha Terry
What amazed me the most about about them is that from a semi-complex mock up image that I provided them they came back super quick with a quote, some color options, and the best proof render of the exact same design that I had envisioned. They quite literally brought my design "concept" to a reality! I will do business with them again!

Yvette Yanez
Scott took the design that I sent, enhanced it to look even better and sent the file back the same day. He provided me the tracking number as soon as he got it. The pins arrived a day earlier than promised and the quality was far superior to what I had hoped to get from any source. I can be really proud of these pins when I hand them out as part of our awards banquet. I would not hesitate to use PinMaxx again and to highly recommend them to others.

Ashley was so amazing. The pins are perfect. They make a mock up and revised it as needed before production. Love the finished product. They accommodated us to a tee.

Working with PinMaxx was so easy. I took a picture of the logo with my phone, uploaded it to their free quote. Scott replied within the hour of submitting my request. I requested one revision and he and his colleague, Ashley, responded quickly again. I approved the proof, they sent me the invoice, I paid it and they confirmed receipt and started working on my order. I would highly recommend working with Scott & Ashley at PinMaxx anytime you need a custom made pin. It has been a pleasure working with you and PinMaxx!
Erin Parr

Pins arrived in a timely manner. Highly recommend PinMaxx for all your trading pin needs! Thank you for a seamless process.

If I could give 10 stars I would! I was urgently on the hunt for a company that could get custom pins to us in a few weeks for our USSSA Nationals tournament (softball) pin trading! Ashley was the representative who assisted me in the design and ordering process! She was spectacular; she truly made this daunting taste a breeze! Mr. Hayes is the owner and truly a stand up guy! He went above and beyond for a new customer! I will NEVER use another company for our pins. Their customer service is exceptional. I have NOTHING bad to say about this company and the way they do business! Don't waste your time with other companies and go with PinMaxx, always!
Candace Moore
I needed lapel pins with aproximately three weeks turn around time. After requesting quotes from 8 companies, PinMaxx was one of only two companies who would guarantee delivery by the date I needed them. PinMaxx surpassed the other company's pricing and was much quicker to communicate so I chose them. PinMaxx hands down had the best communication and customer service team of all the companies I shopped from. The pins arrived three days earlier than promised and the quality is excellent.
Melissa Combs
We used PinMaxx for our Nationals Softball Pins this year and they turned out GREAT! It was a quick and easy process to finalize the image and less than 2 weeks to have them in hand...plus the price point was spot on! We will be back again!
Sue Boxrud
Scott, you are amazing! The pins arrived on Monday, my brother was able to pick up and arrive with the package. Thank you & your team!
