My mom and dad are walking me down the aisle, should I get them a boutinere and corsage? What is the tradition?

    Traditionally all parents and grandparents get bouts or corsages.

    Like PPs have said, you traditionally do a corsage and boutonniere for all parents/grandparents. For the corsages, you can do the wrist corsage or corsage that pins to their dresses/shirts. We decided to do all wrist corsages.

    We skipped it. No one seemed to notice or care.

    Most people get them for parents, grandparents and any other “special” family members.

    We're doing write corsages for the moms and boutonnieres for the dads and grandpa.


    Some moms prefer the corsages that pin to their dress but that would be dependent on the type of fabric. Delicate fabrics could tear with a corsage pinned in.

    I got corsages and boutonnieres for my parents, future in laws, and godparents because I want them to stand out somehow.

    My mother and mother in law specifically told me they would prefer to not have one, so we aren’t getting them!

    Both of my parents also walked me down the aisle and they had a corsage & boutonniere. So did my MIL & FIL.
