Question about flowers and who gets them

GoodPrincessButtercup, on January 20, 2018 at 10:53 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15
Hi, please tell me what you are doing for mother of the bride and groom for the ceremony. Do they get bouquets or corsages? I’m not sure the etiquette and it’s been a 1000 years since I’ve been to a wedding.

    Corsages for them, wrist. And grandmas to get pinned corsages. We are on the fence about great aunts and uncles because there are a lot of them and logistics of getting them their personal flowers isn't ideal.

    We got our moms wrist corsages. We also did wrist corsages for our grandmothers and boutonnieres for our dads and DH's grandfather.

    I’m doing corsages for my fmil, my mom just passed away so I’m saving a seat for her with a single rose with lace (part of my wedding theme and it was part of hers too)

    I have seen both. Personally I like the idea of a small bouquet for the moms and then doijg corsages for the grandmothers. Fh has several grandmothers (5) and I only have 1 - but not sure if we are doing pins or wrist...

    Thanks. I thought corsages were right but wanted to check. I didn’t think about my grandma so that was a good call out too!

    We did bouquets for me, my maid of honor and my neice (she was 6 at the time. I thought it would be better to give her something to hold because I was afraid she would be nervous...she wasn't haha), corsages for bridesmaids (my step kids - 11 and 14), my offiant (my sister), my mom, his mom, his aunt and his grandmother, Boutonniere’s for my dad, his dad, my brother and my nephew (he was almost 1 and he ate it haha).

    I would ask what they prefer. My mother hates corsages because she says those are for old ladies. My mother and my MIL both wore flower crowns.

    At our wedding I will have a bouquet and fiancé will have boutineer. None of the other guests will have flowers.

    I'm making my boutonnieres out of wood flowers, so everyone will get one of those. Corsages aren't going to be feasible for my grandma, as we have a huge family and she'll be hugging and holding kiddos all night I'm sure. The groomsmen, our parents/grandparents, the kids in the wedding, my attendants, and ushers all will get one. I know that might seem quite a few, but I'm able to make them all unique with their flowers, special items, colors, etc.

    If you do a corsage, you may want to check their preference between a wrist corsage and one that's pinned because the pinned corsage may damage their dress depending on the weight of the corsage and fabric material of the dress.

    Pin corsages. Also, consided if your mothers are sentimental and likely to try to preserve them. I hate babys breath but it dries really easily, so it might be waxflower fillers everywhere else and babys breath on our mothers corsages.
