Who gets flowers for the wedding?

You can do pocket squares for the fathers and grandfathers too if you want to make it look more cohesive . I do think a small corsage for the moms and grandma’s would be nice.

I think it’s considered traditional to have those extra flowers for the parents, grandparents, etc. but we’re skipping them to save money and my mom said she didn’t want to have something to carry or around her wrist anyways. If you’re interested in doing them though, go for it! I don’t think it will look weird and I’m guessing the other guests won’t even notice.

I agree with PP, having the fathers and grandfathers wear matching pocket squares would be a nice touch. I think corsages for the mothers and grandmothers is an old tradition. I remember seeing this in pictures from my parent’s wedding. However, I have not seen anybody do this at any of the weddings I’ve been to in a very long time. By no means do I think it is necessary. We won’t be doing them at our wedding. We also won’t be doing boutonnieres for the guys because none of them really wanted them.

We're doing the exact same thing you are. My fiance didn't want a Boutonniere for himself or his groomsmen. But I am getting one for my dad and his dad. I am also getting them for my grandmother's and his mom. The groomsmen will have pocket squares which match my bridesmaids dress colors.

Traditionally bride/smaids get bouquets, groom/smen and fathers of the couple get boutonnieres. The mothers get corsages. Some couples choose to give corsages/bouts to grandparents as well. But people follow their personal preference as well.


Most florists are aware of allergies and work around them. For example, I am miserably allergic to pollen in cut flowers out of the garden, but the same flowers from a pro florist don't bother me in the least since they don't have the pollen that triggers allergies. Ask the florist about what they are able to do.
A pocket square would work. Do whatever works best for you, not what is expected by others.

Thank you everyone, this was helpful!!
