In the wedding ceremony who carries flowers?
Corsages for the mother of the bride, the mother of the groom, and grandmothers (grandmothers always love getting a corsage it makes them glow)
Bouquets for bride, maid of honor and bridesmaids....
Basket of flowers for flower girl(s)
Boutonnieres for the groom, best man, groomsmen, father of the bride, father of the groom, grandfathers (grandmothers glow when they pin it on their husbands)
I always include the grandparents in the corsages/boutonnieres because every grandmother glows so beautifully and the cost is minimal to give them that moment of sheer pleasure... My grandmother lit up like the 4th of July when she was given her corsage at my wedding she was overjoyed to be included in our special day...
Reply:First things first: it's your wedding and so it's entirely up to you and your betrothed who carries flowers. Congratualtions, by the way.
Traditon dictates as follows in Chrsitian and secular weddings but if you are niether then you will need to ask someone of your own religion:
The bride carries a bouquet which is handed to the head bridesmaid/matron of honour during the service itself. It is the taken back outside the church/registry office and thrown to the other bridesmaids (tradition being that the one who catches it it will be the next to get married).
The bridesmaids carry smaller bouquets except for the head bridesmaid as she will need to hold the bride's during the service (as above).
The groom and best man generally wear matching butoneer that should be noticeably more elaborate than any other butoneer.
The parents of the bride, parents of the groom and any adult siblings of the bride and groom (and their partners) should also wear matching butoneers but these should be different to the groom and best man's. If you are using page boys they too should have the these butoneers too.
Every other adult guest should also have a butoneer (male or female) and generally they will bring there own, but if you are arranging for their flowers too then they should be different again from any butonner so far mentionned.
Hope this is helpful and best of luck of the day!
Reply:The mother of the bride and mother of groom typically wear corsages they dont carry flowers. It is nice for the fathers to have boutoneires also to distinguish them from everyone else
Reply:The mothers of the bride and groom should have beautiful corsages, and the fathers should have boutonnieres.
Reply:This is a basic rundown, but hey, it's however you want to do it.
Bride, maids %26amp; flowergirl carry flowers of some sort.
Groom, groomsmen, fathers, ring bearer, ushers wear boutineres.
Mothers wear a corsage or carry a single flower. Nice for grandparents to have corsages or boutineres, too.
Sometimes others in the wedding are recognized, also with a different corsage/boutinere such as the organist, soloist, guest book attendant, clergy.
Reply:The bridesmaids and the bride!!!!
Reply:Anyone in the wedding or involved in the wedding can wear flowers.
Reply:lots of times the fathers wear boutoneers too. and in some wedding the mothers wear a corsage, but no, they do not carry a bouquet.
Reply:in my wedding.. i had the maid of honor, which was the only bridesmaid... i had my mother and mother in law carry some flowers and the men didn't wear any boutoneers nor the preacher. i had them not wear ties either and it was the most relaxing wedding i have gone too even though it was mine, but everything turned out wodnerful. :D
good luck and congrats.
Reply:in our wedding, the fathers %26amp; grandfathers also wore boutineers, the grandmothers had corsages, and in stead of the mothers having corsages we opted to have them carry little nosegays. (really miniature bouquets; maybe a 5th of the size of the bridesmaid bouquets). it was really cute.
Reply:Hi there!
Congrats on your engagement! It is totally your preference. The mothers may carry "tussy mussies" if you would like (see link: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im... These are small silver victorian like "cups" that can hold a small bouquet. Very nice as it can double as a keepsake for the moms. Also good if your mothers and grandmothers are wearing something that will tear from pinning of the corsage or if you don't like the look of a wrist corsage.
The gentleman are the same as well. Everyone should get a boutonniere-- the groom, groomsmen, ushers, fathers and grandfathers. The groom's is always different (tradition was that it was a flower plucked from the bride's bouquet) from that of his men-- perhaps a different color or different flower altogether.
I hope this helps!
Congrats again!
Reply:In a traditional wedding, like you said, the bride and bridesmaids carry bouquets, they are the only ones.
The groom and groomsmen generally wear the flower pinned to their tuxedo. It is customary for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom to wear a corsage on their wrist, or pinned to their dress.
However, wedding tradition is so fluid now that it's really up to you! Lots of people opt to keep things formal and more traditional, but most people choose to incorporate their own ideas as well as some traditions. For instance, many couples no longer have a receiving line, but will make a point to visit every table- more fun and easy to do if it's a smaller wedding.
Best of luck and do what feels right to you!!!
Reply:Those who have hair carry the Flowers during weddings.
Reply:Traditionally the Brides and Bridesmaid's. But the Brides is bigger. the bridesmaids should look like the brides but smaller.
