Talk to me about flowers.....

Crystal, on March 11, 2020 at 2:33 PM Posted in Planning 0 12

Please help!

I'm trying to figure out flowers...Not for decor but for the wedding party, etc. Who typically would get flowers besides the attendants? What kind of flowers are your typical flowers?

Does MOH, JR Bridesmaid, Ring Bearer get a different style? Smaller?

Parents? Step Parents?

Ushers?

Guest Book, cake cutters etc?

No living grand parents on either side....Are flowers on the pulpit still a thing or do people lean more toward "reserved" chairs? If you do, how would you do it if you're in a church and there isn't chairs but pews?

Bridal Bouquet for ceremony and a toss bouquet?

    The bridal party does normally get either a different style or different size of bouquet. You can give boutonnières and corsages to the people in your processional or wedding. I had a toss bouquet.


    I don’t know what you mean by guest book or cake cutters - are you having people man your guest book and cake cut for you? If you are they don’t need a boutonnière. I don’t think ushers really need one either.

    Thank you. Yeah i knew the bridal attendants usually get a similar but smaller bouquet, but is there a difference between theirs and the MOH? What about for a Junior Bridesmaid? Would she get the same as the rest of the bridal party or something different? Would the ring bearer get a smaller version on the groomsmen bouts? And yes I will more than likely have someone manning the guest book, candy table (to keep it filled), cake cutters. (Thats kind of a thing from the area i'm from).

    Bride

    Groom

    Bridesmaids

    Groomsmen

    Flower girl/ring bearer

    Parents (I'd include step too)

    Grandparents

    Readers - if you want. This could go either way.

    Our florist is doing smaller, slightly different bouquets for my bridal party. It doesn't have to be totally different, just smaller scale.

    I would say have the jr bridesmaid have same size as the bridal party. I don’t normally see bouquets differing for MOH. For the ring bearer boutonnière I’ve seen them be smaller than the groomsmen.

    Thank you! I have been to weddings where MOH wears a different color dress or has even a different color or size of bouquet. My daughter (who will be 13) is going to be my JR Bridesmaid so I thought of maybe doing something different for her, but IDK ?

    All this planning and little details of stuff are so hard! Smiley sad I haven't been to a wedding in a few years either so IDK what the new "Norm" is. It gets overwhelming at times and doesn't help that i'm so indecisive!

    I have never received flowers as an usher or guest book attendant, but always got something as family of the groom/bride and bridesmaid/maid of honor. I would definitely do a toss bouquet if you’re planning a toss because you’ll likely want to keep your bouquet.

    My MOHs and bridesmaids will have the same bouquets (slightly different from mine) all boutonnieres will be the same, and female important non-bridal party members will have corsages.

    Boutonnieres will be on FH, BM, groomsmen, FFIL, my step dad, and ring bearer.

    Corsages will be on our moms, and the 11 year old girl who will be helping with our guest book (we are doing an instax guest book. she will keep film changed, get people to sign, and take pictures for those who need help!)

    For ours I’m just having bouquets for myself and bridesmaids, skipping out on boutonnières just because I feel they’re not necessary. Flowers for the cake and flowers for our arch we’re getting married under. We are also doing a toss bouquet. It’s your wedding you can have as many or as little flowers as you want, depends how traditional you want to be with it
