Flowers for BM and Boutineers for GM???

mstanielle

I have a big dilemma.

To give a brief overview, I do not care for flowers. I have a brooch bouquet for myself and my centerpieces for the reception does not include flowers. Now, the dilemma is can I exclude floral bouquets for my BM's and boutineers for my GM?? I know it is tradition to have them have bouquets and boutineers, but if I can do without them, then I would love an alternative idea.

Your BM can carry clutches and your GM can wear pocket squares.

Your BM can carry almost anything, be it a bible that is special to you (if you are religious), a clutch like PP mentioned, a fan if you are having it outdoors and it may be hot, or possibly give her a smaller brooch bouquet that is similar to yours.

As for the guys I love PP suggestion of pocket squares

I don't think the guys need anything, but I agree with PP, make/buy a smaller version of your bouquet for the BM to carry.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I like the idea of the clutch for the BM's. I never thought of that idea....
