Corsages and boutonnières for Special guests

Jessica, on April 11, 2017 at 10:58 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

Our florist is making wrist corsages and boutonnières for our parents, grandparents, step parents, and god parents. When do we give these to these people if we won't see them before the ceromony? Do we leave them with the ushers? What did you all do to honor special guests?

    Is there a reason you don't think you'll be seeing these people prior to the ceremony? I don't really have a good answer, as I think a lot of people have those members of the family walk down as part of the processional.

    Are the flowers real? Ours are fake and we are giving the corsages and boutonnières out at the rehearsal dinner. I'm also giving my Mom, grandma, MIL, FG, and BM's their robes then too. Smiley smile

    I'll see my parents before the ceromony but most likely not my grandparents or godparents. They are very elderly and will be escorted in by family members. The flowers are real. The florist will bring them day of. There is a local flower farm we are going through so everything will be very fresh.

    I lovelovelove seeing honored people get their flowers. They just light up. I would put one person in charge of making sure every corsage and boutonniere is hand delivered and pinned. Preferably the florist. If the florist will not be there, designate someone who you know will follow through. Your Mom? MIL?

    More than once, I see the box of corsages and boutonnieres for those not in the BP laying on a table or in a pew, untouched and forgotten. Of course I bring it to the couple's attention but by then they don't care. :/ That's a lot of money wasted.

    Do you have a DOC? I was going to task my VC/DOC with finding the members I wouldn't be seeing, being grandparents and possibly FSIL (she doesn't like crowds so I don't know if she'd want to get ready with us or not).

    Yah, this is something that just needs to be noted and made sure to happen. Who can you ask to make sure they get their flowers?
