Who all needs flowers in a wedding? Including Corsages %26amp; Boutonnieres?
That really depends on what you want as the bride and groom. Traditionally, there are supposed to be bouquets for the bride, MOH, and bridesmaids; flower petals in a basket for the flower girl to scatter; boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, ring bearer, and ushers; corsages for the mothers and grandmothers of the bride and groom, and assorted miscellaneous flowers for decoration. However, if you're having a less traditional wedding, or a more casual affair, you may want to think about limiting the flowers. For instance, at my wedding I am only doing one bouquet for me, a smaller one for the MOH, and a single flower tied with ribbon for each bridesmaid. Since the groom and groomsmen are going to be dressed quite casually (Khakis and button-down shirts), I think boutonnieres would look silly on them, so we'll just skip that. I may buy a corsage for the mother of the groom, just to give her something nice, but since my mom is doubling as my MOH, she won't really need a corsage in addition to the bouquet, right? Also, since we are getting married in a lovely outdoor spot with plenty of natural foliage, I'm going to skip the decorative flowers and just let the ambience speak for itself.
Reply:Here is who i am getting flowers for:
Bridesmaids

Mothers
Grandparents
Godparents (if you or your FH have any)
Flower girl
Ringbearer
Any readers or ushers (if you are having them)

Oh and if you want to i believe the priest or officiant are optional.
I dont think i have missed anyone.
Reply:We're being cheap on the flowers and only giving them to the 'essentials' who are:
Bouquets - - bride, MOH, bridesmaids (5 total)
Boutonierres (sp?) - - Groom, Best Man, Groomsmen, Fathers (7 total)
Corsages - - Moms (2 total)
We don't have any living grandparents, but if we did I would consider them 'essential'. I am debating giving a bout %26amp; corsage to our godparents (partly because my godfather would be walking me down the aisle - my Dad passed).
If we have ushers in addition to the groomsmen, they would get bouts, too!
Reply:Bouquets for...
bride....bride's maids.....junior bride's maids...flower girls if a flower basket is not used.
Corsages for....MOB...MIL...grandmothers %26amp; if one is so blessed, great-grandmothers
Boutonniers for.....groom,FIL,FOB,ushers,ring bearer,.and if one is blessed it would be nice for grandfathers %26amp; great grandfathers......whether traditional or not I feel they deserve the same recognition as grand and great-grand-mothers.
Also, floral arrangements for the ends of the pews set aside for immediate family...and floral arrangements on the altar-consult officiate on what is permitted...floral arrangements for the bridal table %26amp; guest tables at the reception...can be waved with other types of arrangements instead....
...and many people decorate the bridal car/limo...look into silk flowers for that as they will hold up better.
