Who gets flowers?

So I know the obvious: The bride and bridesmaids get bouquets and the groom and groomsmen get boutonnieres. Who else do I need to include? Is it traditional to get the mothers corsages? My mother is deceased, so would i get one for my stepmother? Do fathers get boutonnieres? Anyone else I haven't mentioned? Other family members? We are not having a flower girl. Thanks!

I think it's up to you. I did corsages/bouts for both sets of parents and my sisters and his sisters. His brother was BM, so he got a bout as well. I've seen that extended to grandparents as well, but it's all in what you want to do and how much you have to spend.

I'd say everyone in both of your immediate families, all grandparents, and the ushers/readers/persons assisting in the ceremony. As far as step parents and weird family issues like that, I don't know what the etiquette is.

Mothers and grandmothers get corsages. (Yes, I'd get one for your stepmother too).
Dads, grandfathers, ushers get bouts. 
If the officiant/minister is not wearing vestments (robes), they get one too.

What everyone else said......

We're also getting them for our godparents.

Boutonnieres are nice for the fathers and grandfathers, and corsages or nosegay (tiny decorative bouquets) are nice for the mothers and grandmothers.

It's entirely up to you and what your budget allows.  I am keeping it simple.  I am doing extra corsages for grandmothers only--they've earned them!  That's a lot of money to spend on flowers for people who aren't in your wedding.

I did my mom, FI mom, my dad, my step dad , FI's dad, FI's dads gf and FI's moms bf and our grandparents, and our 2 readers.

My mom is a florist so this is an easy answer for me. Your step mother, your fiance's mother, and all of the grandmother's would get corsages. Then the fathers & grandfather's would get boutonnieres. If there are any special readers you would get them to what's appropriate to their gender. also the ring bearer gets a boutonniere.

Bouts for dad's, grandpa's, ushers, male readers, male musicians, and groomsmen.
Corsages for mom's, grandma's, female readers, female musicians and guestbook attendants.
As far as your mom it would be nice to have a single long stem rose placed in her memory.

We are having an outdoor garden wedding this July, and are leaning towards a non-traditional wedding. This includes not having a wedding party with colour coordinated outfits. While this was supposed to be a good thing for everyone involved, our mothers and sisters (1 each) have been asking for guidance on what we want them to wear and stressing over matching dress lengths and styles. I wanted everyone to wear their own style, especially because it will be hot, and an outdoor wedding allows for variety. In the end, my mother-in-law chose a fairly casual dress and requested no flowers, while my mother and sister decided to go much more dressy and have asked for flowers. How can I make everyone looked tied together and feel good in their own look?  Can you suggest what options I have in giving them flowers to wear (e.g. other than a wrist corsage)?
Thanks everyone!
