What should our Groomswomen carry?

I think a corsage would be a great for a groomswoman. That way they are still different from your bridesmaids!

I think they could carry bouquets just like the women on your side. But to match the colors of the boutonnieres on the groomsman possibly? They could do corsages too but I agree they tend to make me think of prom.

Not a corsage. They are just as important as the bridesmaids. A bouquet, either matching or as mimitrue suggested, in coordinating colors/flowers as the BMs bouquets.

I like the idea of the smaller bouquet in the appropriate colors.

I'm going with boutineer to match the groomsmen. They aren't bridesmaids so I don't think they needs bouquets or to carry anything down the aisle.

Either a pin on corsage that compliments the boutonniere or a bouquet.

I think, if the dress allows, let them wear a boutonniere!

My friend had a groomswoman. She wore a navy dress while the bridesmaids wore the same dress in coral. The men were in navy and tan. She had a bouquet. I thought it looked really good together.

Boutineers will not work because the dresses are strapless... I know the girls will do a lot for us, but probably not that! lol

We did a bouquet for our groomswoman, same as the BMs except wrapped in different colored ribbon.

Do you think it would look good if they all had the same flower in their hair? It could coordinate with the groomsmen, maybe?

DH had a best woman and she wore a bout like the rest of the guys and escorted my MOH down the aisle.

Sorry - this was right about the Fursday post, and now I want them the carry puppies down the aisle...... like adoptable foster puppies? Man I need a puppy.

If we had groomswomen I would go with a bouquet. Their dresses and where they're standing already set them apart from the BMs, so I would keep the flowers the same.

What if each of them carried a ring in a small box (instead of the BM having them in his pocket)?

I'd pick their brains a little bit. Some people prefer having something in their hands while standing in front of people, so a bouquet would work.

As PP said, they'll be in a different color dress and standing on the groom's side, so I'd see no problem having them carry flowers.

My friend has a corsage. I thought it was very nice

How about a lantern or basket?

I wouldn't have them do a pomander, it will make them look odd. Either bouquets in slightly different colors or nothing, whichever they are more comfortable with.

We have done bouquets for them as well - but we have the handles of the bouquets match the tuxes.
