Not having a bouquet?

aprilmaple

I'm trying to save money on my wedding, and I'm considering not getting bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids. It's a fairly casual beach wedding, and to me, at this point at least, it doesn't seem very important for me to have one, especially because it will mean spending $385 that seems like it would be better used elsewhere. Do you guys think it's silly to omit bouquets? And if I don't have a bouquet, what about corsages for moms and grandmothers? My fiance and his groomsmen aren't having boutonnieres, either.

If you don't want it you don't have to have it! That is the joy of a wedding, the only thing you HAVE to have is 2 people to marry and someone to marry them. Also, if you would like a bouquet I know there are ways to make it MUCH less than $385.

Not necessary, especially since many brides effectively just use the bouquet for the walk up and down the aisle.

Maybe go for smaller bouquets?  The girls having a flower or two and you having 6?  Then only doing bouts for the GMs?

You do not need to have flowers for your parents, grandparents, etc.  Especially if you are cutting them from the WP.  I would cut all these out and just do the WP with a small amount.
