Village Wedding Revisited (48) - the Buttonhole
Not everyone wore a buttonhole so presumably this gentleman is a family member.

Tomorrow...the last day of the wedding.
Nice-Matin's headline today: 'America is Back!'
un regard plongeant ;o))
ReplyDeleteHere we call them boutonnières! Now that's a switch- HA
ReplyDeleteLovely snapdragons ...
ReplyDeleteThe gentleman looks like Oscar de la Renta.
ReplyDeleteSo classy!
I feel as if I've come to know them. I begin to recognize certain guests from one photograph to the next. I'll miss them. Perhaps next year they'll gather to celebrate the birth of a baby?
ReplyDeleteJ'aime bien la composition.... le dos de la dame aussi nu que le crâne du monsieur :-))
ReplyDeleteOh, Virginia beat me to it; I even looked up the correct spelling. Interesting that it's called a buttonhole.
ReplyDeleteI used the English word - buttonhole. In French it is, as Virginia wrote, - boutonnière. Interesting that the word got to America but not to the UK!
ReplyDeleteFor the record I had to look it up too! HA
