Would you be offended as a bridesmaid

CountryBride, on September 28, 2020 at 10:46 AM Posted in Planning 0 20

I don't want to come across as tacky or as rude, Flowers are not that really important to me. One of my bridesmaids has allergies especially around flowers, I was thinking to save time what if I made the bridesmaids bouquets fake and my bouquet real? the groomsmen and groom wants pocket squares would you be offended if your bouquet wasn't real?

    I would not be offended at all but honestly I am not that interested in bouquets as a bridesmaid rather I have to carry one. If you want to explain to them why then maybe that will help.

    As a bridesmaid, I literally couldn’t care less about what the bride decided to do about flowers.

    I would not be offended, in fact I think it is considerate of you to to consider a BM's allergies and being accommodating about it.

    Not at all. I would be offended if someone dropped hella money on a real bouquet actually lol; use your money for something more important, ya know?


    Im in the same boat I made super cute faux bouquets for the party and paid for a faux bouquet for myself off Etsy

    I wouldn't be offended! As a bridesmaid, I wouldn't have any opinion on what the bride chooses to do for bouquets, I'd be fine with whatever choice they make.

    Not at all. Especially since flowers are expensive. Their bouquets are not going get get photographed as closely as the bride’s either so save your time and money if it’s not worth it.

    All of our florals are fake, i wouldn't be offended, especially if I had allergies like your bridesmaid.

    I wouldn’t be offended. I didn’t have flowers for the girls. I made ribbon wands. They should understand especially if someone has allergies.


    Here’s a picture of the wands Would you be offended as a bridesmaid 1

    One of my bridesmaids told me that she is going to take her pills so I can choose real flowers (family tradition: real love, real flowers 🤷🏻‍♀️). besides she doesn’t want to be triggered by anything during the wedding. It could be my bouquet or the venue (outdoor), or the leis (the Hawaiian flower necklace the venue is preparing). I didn’t even think of all that yet when she told me.

    I wouldn't be offended. I wouldn't think anyone would pay any attention to my bouquet as a bridesmaid.

    I don't think I'd be offended as a bridesmaid if I got fake flowers. Whatever is easiest for the bride! Smiley smile

    I wouldn’t care if it was real or fake. In fact my bridal bouquet is fake flowers and only opted for that at the last minute.

    My bridesmaids will carry fake flowers as well. So maybe I’m biased but I wouldn’t be offended

    NONE of my flowers were real. Partly for cost, partly because my dad is now allergic to most flowers.

    If people are offended, um, I think they are focusing on the wrong things in life.

    I used Budget Bride, and this is what my bouquet looked like:

    And our centerpieces:

    I never thought of it as a potential offense. I am going to fake flowers for the whole wedding. Just like you, flowers aren't super important to me.

    I can't imagine that being offensive.

    I wouldn’t even think twice about if my flowers were real or fake. In fact I can’t tell you if the last flowers I carried as a bridesmaid were real or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️
    I’m doing all silk flowers for my wedding with the exception of real petals for the aisle runner and some sprinkled on the tables along with the silk floral centerpieces.
