Flowers for parents and grandparents

How many people are in your BP

3 ladies and 3 men. The men (besides groom) aren't getting boutonnières because they aren't wearing jackets just dress shirts.

I have 13 total women that includes moms, gmas and sisters and 8 total men that include dads, gpas and brothers.

I know traditionally all these people get flowers that's why I'm like woah!

Since when do sisters and brothers get flowers? Unless they're a parent, grand parent or part of the bridal party, I wouldn't give them a flower.

We're only doing flowers for the people walking in the processional. In this case, just BP and parents. Since my grandparents will already be seated, they're not getting flowers. Hope this helps!

I would skip flowers for siblings. If they aren't in the wedding party, no flowers for them. That should trim the numbers

I passed on doing flowers for grandparents and siblings not in the bridal party. I have 8 grandparents and FH has 2 but it was still adding about $300.

My bouts and corsages were $8 and $20, respectively. We are skipping it. Our parents don't get offended over stuff like that.

$15 is about standarf. Id say 86 the siblings 1st. From there you should be able to swing the floral tributes.

Not BP- We are doing a simple rose with greenery for dads and 3 roses on a pearl bracelet for moms

I would skip it. We only did BP & parents. But my parents wouldn't have cared if I skipped them too.

Thanks all! This really helps! GP will be walking in processional. Half the siblings are in wedding and half are not, which puts us in tough spot to keep things equal. Unfortunately We have several members who are sensitive and will be offended, which I don't understand. I'm leaning toward just getting for parents and I read somewhere that they got a rose for the gparents and put it on their seat, so that may be an option too.

I went to a wedding last year and the bride was carrying the biggest bouquet I've ever seen. I don't know how she even held it as long as she did.

But the couple didn't get any flowers for the parents/grandparents.

I thought that stunk!

Bouts aren't that hard to put together if you have any interest to DIY. If not, have you looked at non-floral boutonnieres? They might be cheaper, then you could do floral corsages for the women?

^great idea to DIY them. Take a single rose or carnation, slap some babys breath next to it, wrap it in ribbon, boom done. Pinterest.

Do you have a friend who isn't in the wedding party who can do floral? Call local grocery stores.What area are you in?

I have thought of DIY! Been looking at Pinterest like crazy and we have a great wholesale flower shop in town.

I may be able to work something out with my FH cousins wife, she has experience!

I would like to skip giving the grandparents flowers but I am scared it will offend. Do your family feel any way about not getting flowers? It just gets so costly. I thought of maybe honoring them a different way. I just haven't thought of a way yet.
