FAQs

Can these be used for wedding boutonnieres and craft projects? Yes — their 16 gauge size and open hull design make them a popular base for boutonnieres, lapels, and rustic wedding decor.
Is this a smaller gauge than your standard 12 gauge shells? Yes — 16 gauge is a step down in size from 12 gauge, a good fit for a more delicate boutonniere.
Will all shells be the same manufacturer? Yes — genuine RST.
