To bouquet or not to bouquet...that is the question!

sweetpea0911

FI and I have been on and off discussing our attendants for the wedding.  While we haven't asked anyone yet, we have mutually decided that there are people we would like to stand with us - I have 4 and he has 3.  I told him that uneven sides were perfectly fine, but he has OCD and would FREAK, so he's currently trying to decide on a fourth person.

His mom brought up the idea of asking his friend K to be his 4th grooms"woman" and I thought it was a lovely idea.  My girls are wearing black, so she can choose a black dress either in the same style, or any style she chooses, and then she would stand on FI's side with him.  Here is my question:

I'm meeting with a florist to discuss prices (we haven't picked one yet, and I'd like an estimate on what it would run us if we used in-season flowers) on Thursday, and I don't know what to do.  If FI decides to ask K to be a grooms"woman", should she carry a bouquet likes my BM, or would I get a corsage for her?  Or should she not carry flowers at all?

Any opinions/suggstions would be great!

At the wedding I was at where there was a groomswoman, she wore an embellished bout, but for our WP we've been planning on giving the groomswomen bouquets.  I really don't think there's a right or wrong way to do it.  If you don't have a preference, ask her what she prefers.  Bouts will probably be cheaper though.

ditto malphabet:  ask her which she'd prefer.

I asked our groomswoman what she would prefer, and she chose the same wrist corsage that I'm making for the moms.  Hers will be a different color, though.
