Wedding without boutonnieres or corsages?

Lots of people forgo boutonnieres and do pocket squares instead. You could still do corsages.

My FH put the kibosh on boutonnieres. No particular reason, but it was one thing he felt strongly about so they're not happening. Trying to figure out a way to make the GM stand out though, as they're all wearing navy suits but not matching exactly.

We skipped them...they were an added cost that wasn't necessary. I don't miss them when I look at our pictures. We didn't do corsages either...the MOB & MOG typically get sat as part of the processional and buy a fancier dress then the guests. They'll already be standing out.

We aren't doing bouts except for FH. My mom is allergic to flowers, so for MOB & MOG I am doing Origami Owl lockets. Will probably still do corsages for his grandmothers and dad's SO (just because two of them are the type of people to make a fuss if not recognized).

Someone a week or so ago posted some really great looking brooch bouts (sounds weird but they looked great on the men in her photo). You can do anything you want, or nothing.

I bought a bout for FH that matches my bouquet, but I won't see it for a few months yet (sola flowers from Etsy). If we decide we don't like it, we'll just do a pocket square for him too, I think.

We aren't doing bouts- just pocket squares! I don't think it's necessary at all. Bouts were only going to be $8.50 each so it wasn't really about cost for us. We have 3 ring bearers and they are all going to wear bouts because they won't be wearing suit jackets.

We are skipping the bouts and corsages for parents and grandparents. Our mothers didn't want them and didn't want to carry anything and our dads are okay without them. Only the groomsmen will be wearing bouts.

My mother wasn't interested in a corsage because her dress is chiffon and she has really sensitive skin (didn't want a band or flowers tied to her wrist). Our florist already had a mockup ready of a new trend...MOB/MOG bouquets. They are very small. A smaller version of the bridesmaid's bouquets. My mother loved it, so we ordered two. They were only $24 each (BM's were $55 and mine was $170).

I didn't do either nor did I replace it with anything, but the guys did wear pocket squares. I thought it was a serious waste of money

Do what you want, if they do pocket squares I'd still do corsages.

No bouts for us. Just pocket squares. No coursages, I think it's silly. Our moms know they are special without needed some silly flowers pinned to their gorgeous dresses. It's a small wedding. Everyone knows our mom's anyway. It also saves us over $300.

Thanks for all the great advice! I will probably forgo both the boutonnieres and corsages. 90% of our 50 person guest list are family anyways. Decision made. Check!

This made me think so I called my mom and she said "hellll no" to coursages. haha. She said she doesn't want to look like she is going to prom. My views confirmed...I am happy with out decision.

ETA: because my mom is a "she" not a "he"
