Boutonnière

It is a nice gesture and signifies a place of honor. If the ring bearer is a child they could probably care less, but the others I personally would as well as boutennaires for fathers.

Is it normal to get the officiant a boutonnière? I'm still figuring this stuff out.

I think it's a very nice gesture to have them included in flowers for the big day. I didn't get my officiant a boutineer though. I did however get mother of the groom, attendants, groomsmen, and readers all corsages or boutineers. Also got flowers for bridal party.

I think it’ll be nice to have. Like the other posters, it is a nice gesture. However, I also did not get the officiant one. If you still want to order them Etsy has a shop where you can choose express shipping to get them in time. I also worked with one that didn’t charge express & it arrived in time.

Moms tend to find corsages and special designations a big deal so I would reconsider flowers for them. A bout for fathers and your officiant would be nice and is less costly. The ring bearer does not need a pin. You can order from your local florist or grocery store floral department. If you pick it up the day before, you can just refrigerate. There's still time.

I didn’t get a boutonniere for our officiant. Our florist never asked about this nor by our wedding planner. 🤷🏻‍♀️ We did get both sets of parents a corsage and boutonnière. It’s a gesture to show that they are family members to the couple

Not a big deal. It’s a personal decision. Only our groomsman had boutonnières. Florals was my budget conservation category, and I did them all myself, so extra flowers was a lot of time/energy/money. I cleared it with the moms first as I didn’t want to offend them if they didn’t have flowers, and neither one cared. They were both in our processional/ very clearly our moms/in a position of honor, so it didn’t seem a necessary distinction.

I think as long as you are even handed about it it's fine either way. In other words, don't get your mom a corsage but not your FMIL. I've never heard of an officiant getting a boutonniere, so I wouldn't worry about that.

I think you're fine not getting anything for your officiant or ring bearer. As for the moms, if neither of them are the types to make a big deal over corsages then you're probably fine there too. Otherwise, I'd just send a quick email to your florist and ask if they'd be able to add two more corsages to your order. You could also ask the floral department at the closest grocery store if they could make 2, then just pick them up the day before and store them in a refrigerator or have someone pick them up that morning.

Honestly depending on who the officiant is I probably would never even think to get him a flower. For us its a priest so thats a non issue, we did get people we asked to play a special role in the wedding flowers, so if the officiant was someone we hired and didn't have a relationship with I probably wouldn't even think to get a flower for that person however if it was someone close to us we asked to officiate I would get a flower. My mom would never say anything to me but I know she would be hurt if I didn't get her a corsage. Its definitely a know your crowd thing, they aren't a requirement but they are pretty traditional in my social circle I have never been to a wedding where the mothers and grandmas didn't get a corsage. It's a sweet gesture but totally up to you. Good luck!

We did not plan to have our officiant wear a boutonnière, but if they are someone you are also very close to and a reception guest it would be nice to have one for them.
