Do all members of bridal party get bouquets?

I think I've read on here recently about all brides maid's get bouquets? Is that correct? I ask because I've never seen that done before. I think usually the bride has a bouquet and then the groom/groomsmen get boutineers? What is usually done regarding this? I've also heard of parents getting...

I'm really confused right now.

Also 5 stars, whoot!

    For my wedding, I had 2 different bouquets for the bridesmaids (I had the bridesmaids in 2 different color dresses so I had bouquets that complemented them). I used silk flowers and made the bouquets myself (for the maids in silver I used blue silk roses. For the maids in blue, I used white flowers and mini ornaments). I used mini ornaments and silk flowers for my bouquet and MOH's bouquet (my bouquet had more flowers and detail than MOH bouquet). I also used the same silk flowers for the boutonnieres and corsages (honestly, when I met with a florist they wanted at least $50 per BM bouquet and $150 for my bouquet. The total price for everything to make all of it was under $50).

    I have never seen a wedding where the BM didn't have bouquets?? Are you from a different culture?

    Typically GM wear boutonnieres, but if you are having a more casual wedding you can forgo those and just have the groom wear one. It is also common/traditional to give the mom corsages and fathers boutonnieres. Again, if your wedding is very casual you can skip it. If you want, you can also give grandparents corsages/bouts but its not necessary.

    I was just wondering if anybody thinks it would be weird if the GM didn't have bouts? We went with feather bouquets for the BMs and myself. We haven't decided on bouts or corsages for anyone else. Is that rude?

    Our groomsmen have pocket squares. FH will have a bout. I think we're skipping them for the dads too (both want to wear tuxes that match the groomsmen...whatever). My mom nearly had a fit when I mentioned that, but IDGAF. We're still doing corsages for moms and grandmothers, mainly to appease everyone.

    @Chloe they are from DanasPaperFlowers shop on Etsy. I am looking at that line of paper flowers for my wedding. They have full bouquets as well as BM bouquets and of course bouts.

    For our wedding my bouquet will be bigger and different from my BM bouquets. Our colors are an assortment of purples, green foliage, pops of gold/silver and white. Groomsmen will wear black tuxes. I will have mostly purple in my bouquet and my 5 BMs will have white hydrangeas with pops of purple in their bouquet (their dresses are a grape-y purple, so the florist talked about doing a light lavender stock for their pop of purple). FH will have a different bout than his GM. The GM will all have the same bout as one another. My dad will have a bout only because he's walking me down the aisle. We are not doing flowers for parents and grandparents. We would rather that money go towards floral on the tables and floral in the church.
