Parent Flowers

Victoria, on June 14, 2021 at 1:13 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

So basically at my wedding I plan on my Maid of honor, bridesmaid, and grooms women to have a small bouquet; I will have a medium bouquet; and my FH and his best man with have a Boutonnière. Do I need to get flowers for my in-laws, my parents, and our officiant? I do not intend on them walking down the isle but that might change.

    You should ask them.

    Most parents want to wear a corsage or boutonnière, some don't want or don't care either way ... Our parents aren't walking down the isle either , mine want a corsage/bout but his don't care but we're giving them one corsage/ bout since mine really want them.

    I know you didn't ask anything about the groomswomen ... but you can get them a corsage. My fiancé has his 2 sisters by his side as his best woman and groomswoman ,they will wear corsage instead of carrying a bouquet.

    Nothing in a wedding is necessary, you could skip it. If you decide not to fathers/grandfathers/male officiants/ring bearer would get a boutonniere. mothers/grandmothers/female officiants would get corsages.

    You can skip those florals if you'd like. We're just having our mom's and gmom's carry a single stem flower, probably a rose. Our officiant won't have a boutonniere, and neither will the groomsmen or best man. We didn't see those aspects as necessary, and would much rather have just the groom with a boutonniere to stand out more.

    I agree that this is definitely up to you (your preference and your budget), but I also think this is one of those things that is worth doing for the sake of the people who will wear them (IF they want them; so, asking their opinion is a good idea), even if you don't really care. It's a small token that can mean a lot and could easily fit in most budgets.

    Not bridal part here. My mom does not want a corsage or to carry and flowers. I asked my MIL and she was on the same page. So only me and FH and father's will have flowers.

    The only flowers we'll have are my bouquet. My FH didn't want a boutonniere. We're walking down the aisle together and don't have a bridal party so no need for flowers for bridesmaids, groomsmen or parents. I would say in your case to ask your parents if they would like any since they are participating in the ceremony.

    I did not order a flower for my officiant. I did not realize that was a thing?? I did however get my mother & mother in law a wrist corsage and got my father & father in law a boutonnière.
