If I don't should they?

i was thinking about not carrying a bouquet. I'll have my mom and dads hands to hold onto. but what about the brides/grooms maids? should they have them? would it look weird if they didn't?

They don't have to but it could be nice for them to hold a single flower.

You could do corsages.

We skipped flowers for my wedding.( except 2 roses 1 each fg brought to each mom) I have always feel weird holding them as a bm when else do you randomly walk around holding flowers anyway. They are not needed. My ladies walked in with their hands either folded in front of them or losely at their sides. They walked out with their arms linked to GM ( or in case of my bridesman he linked arms with teh groomsmaid-my sil) One BM had two guys on either side escorting her out. It looked fine. It saved me hundreds of dollars and having to stress about flowers. FYI the two roses for the fgs were from my rose bushes

ditto banana: there are other possibilities: a cute clutch purse, a single stem of a flower, a book of love poems, a Bible. At my own wedding, I carried a white bridal Bible with orchids attached, and my BMs carried 3 roses: symbolizing one for me, one for DH, and one for us as a couple.

Thanks for all the great answers! Makes me feel better about the idea knowing other people skipped them and it went over well.
