Is it weird to have the groom’s bout the same?

Rachel, on June 27, 2019 at 1:02 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 21
I’m working on my floral right now and just realized that I didn’t plan for the groom’s boutonnière to be any different or bigger than that of the dads and groomsmen. We’re doing minimal floral in a kind of sleek, chill glam sort of way, so they aren’t going to he anything fussy at all—just one stem wrapped in black glitter floral tape for the bouts. Will we get side-eyed if his is the same? Orrr do people do this now?

    I don't see why it should be any different. If you want them to be the same, go for it. My FMIL did that for her wedding (one red rose, baby's breath, green tape) and all the guys looked good. You knew who the groom was because he had a different tux.

    I don’t think people are even going to care or notice. My FH is technically wearing a corsage. He knows it, and has said I’ll wear a purple tutu as a flower. 🙄 To us it’s not about the flowers he’s wearing it’s our day to say out loud of our life long commitment in marriage. We say go for it!!

    My FH's will have a slightly bigger rosebud than anyone elses, but I'm not positive anyone will actually notice. I wouldn't worry about it, and you could always add a different tie or pocket square if you really want him to stand out.

    My fiance's is the same as the groomsmen and bridesman. My dad's is different because I wanted his to match my mom's corsage and his dad's is different because we don't know what he is wearing and we wanted to pick something that would go with anything so his dad's is a white rose.

    I don't think anyone will notice really. I think it's kind of cute to have him match the groomsmen

    It can be the same. You can always add a fern to the back to make the flower part stand out as well as designate that as Grooms.... But I think you’re ok. 😊

    No one else will even notice.

    Nobody will ever notice. Don’t stress about that.

    My FH, Dad, ring bearer, and groomsmen will all have the same boutonnieres so I think you are fine. I doubt anyone will even notice.

    It's a minor detail, I don't think it's something to stress over. My FH's will be a tad different, but barely. His dad will match the groomsmens.

    I say do whatever you want. There is no right or wrong way. To set my groom apart I am having a different color flower for his boutonniere and he is wearing the same color tie as his groomsmen but his tie is floral.

    This is a detail that you stress over now that no one (even you!) will notice later.

    Sounds good to me!

    I think it'll be fine! I've never seen a groom's bout. be different than the rest of them, but it may just be because I didn't notice. I wouldn't stress over it!

    My FH will have the same bout's as everyone else, but he'll be the only one in a navy suit, the groomsen and fathers will be in dark gray.

    The only difference between my FH's bout and the others is that it will be wrapped in a different material to match the ribbon on my bouquet. It doesn't matter what you decide on and if people notice it, they have too much time on their hands. Lol

    I had all the men with boutonnieres get the same size. i didn't really make his different at all just because he was already the only one in a grey colored full suit. all the groomsmen were in suspenders. so it kind of felt like he already stood out enough

    I've seen them done both ways, it all depends on what you want. Our florist is making my FHs boutonniere match my bouquet only because she already has the materials.

    I don’t see why it should be different. My husband had an extra flower in black and to be honest I didn’t notice it was different. Of course everyone that’s invited to your wedding knows who the groom is so it shouldn’t matter.
