Who gets flowers?

frig05

So my fiance and I are going to meet with florists next week and I just had a couple of questions. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it when I went back through a few pages of posts

First off I was wondering who all gets corsages and boutonnieres? Of course the groomsmen, the mothers and fathers, and the one grandmother. Is that all that should be included? We each have a brother. Do they also get one? and then his brother is married, so would she get a corsage?

Secondly, I was just curious what people have done in the past in regards to flowers. Did/Are you having the same boutonnieres for all men or are you having different ones for the groomsmen and other family members?

Thanks for the help!

Usually groom groomsmen dads grand fathers ringbear some times ushers and for corsagea moms grandmothers flower girl geta flowers or something and u and ur girls get bouqs. Unless u want ur bothers to have one u dont have too. Your florist should explain all of this to u. You also could get the moms mini bouqs instead of corsages too. I would make sure the grooms is different

Moms/grandmothers, dads/grandads, ushers, and groomsmen.  No brother/SIL (unless the brother is an usher or groomsman).  I also got bouts for our officiants.  I got the moms nosegays like the PP mentioned and they loved them. 

My DH's bout was a little bigger than the groomsmen/ushers but otherwise they were all the same.

Everything everyone said above, plus any honored guests.  We're giving our readers corsages because we're especially close to them.  I think our bouts are all the same, but they don't have to be.  Our mothers corsages are going to be different flowers from our readers, but incorporate a same base bloom with different accents.  Our florist had a planning sheet that listed the people that typically get flowers and she would write in the number next to the "category" if we wanted to do flowers for them.

We are doing something different for each person getting flowers. Doing the same/similar for everyone saves a little bit of money, but everyone is unique, so we want their flowers to represent them. I have my bouquet, 1 Maid of Honor bouquet, 2 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 mother corsages he has a mom and stepmom, 2 dad bouts, 1 groomsman bout, groom's bout, and 1 usherette corsage. My dad is the officiant too, so his bout counts towards both.
