Wedding flowers for mothers and fathers and reverand

RealLifeBride, on November 29, 2016 at 7:45 AM Posted in Planning 0 13

Who all gets flowers at a wedding?

The Mother of the bride gets a corsage, does the mother of the groom as well?

Do the fathers get boutonnieres?

Does the Reverend/ officiant get flowers as well?

For the actual wedding party, a bouquet for the bride and each bridesmaid, maid of honor, flowers for the flower girl and bout's for the groomsmen and groom.

    We are doing corsages for both moms and grandmas, bouts for dads (we have no grandpas). Not sure about the officiant.

    Everyone in the wedding party (officiant, groomsmen, bridesmaids, MOH, Best Man, MOB, MOG, FOB, FOG) gets something.

    It's your choice who you want to have flowers. Typically it's bride, groom, groomsmen, bridesmaids, FG, RB, MOB, FOB, MOG, FOG. Some people get them for grandparents or readers.

    We did corsages for MOB and the grandmothers. We did bouts for groom, groomsmen, FOB, ring bearer. We did bouquets for bride and bridesmaid. The FG also had flowers. I didn't get anything for our officiants.

    Some florists do suggest flowers for the officiant. I've had corsages that were tagged 'officiant.'

    I've also had corsages/bouts that were tagged for someone who didn't show up! Certainly don't let any flowers go to waste!

    FH doesn't want bouts but, he does want a corsage for his mom and grandma. I at least want something for my mom, god-mother and step-dad.

    I don't think they are a requirement, they just look nice and can make your parents/grandparents feel special.

    My mom didn't want to spend the money on corsages for her and FMIL (FMIL agreed) but we are doing them for the grandmas, men are all wearing pocket squares rather than bouts including the fathers unless they express interest in having flowers instead (no grandfathers). Bride/BMs are all having bouquets, and the flower girl is getting a mini bouquet. I don't think the officiant needs one, but I could see giving them one if the men are all having one.

    Like pps have said, the full list would be:

    -Bouquets for you and all of the bridesmaids

    -Boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen

    -Whatever flowers you want the flower girl to use

    -Corsages/bouts for parents and grandparents

    I just don't really love corsages or boutonnieres, so we skipped them! The groom and groomsmen did pink pocket squares instead, and I asked the moms if they wanted an alternative to a corsage like a nosegay or a single stem - but they were fine with no flowers!

    A few of my couples have gotten me a corsage and while I think it's really thoughtful and sweet, it made me feel old, lol....and it's really not expected or necessary. If we're wearing a robe there's really no place to put it.....

    I am seeing more BP's skip bouts, but the BM's always have flowers.

    We decided to go with bouts for dads and grandfathers and then corsages for gradmothers and single gerbera daisies for moms, which we will present to them during the ceremony.

    I think it's up to you! We are doing bouquets for bridesmaids and myself. Boutineers for FH and groomsmen. Our mother and grandmothers are getting corsages. Our fathers and grandfathers will get boutineers.
