bridesmaids and moms and readers, oh my.

bridalmarch · September 2012

I'm making either feather bouquets or vintage folding fans for me and my bridesmaids to carry down the aisle. My mom requested I make her a hairpiece and my future MIL requested a wrist corsage. I'm also making wrist corsages for FI's two grandmothers and my grandfather's wife and boutonnieres for our fathers and my two grandfathers.

We have two readers. Would it be proper to include them and make corsages as well or is that not necessary?

I'm placing my feathers order this week so I'm trying to figure out if I should order for them as well.

Don't quote me on this - but I had the same question. Our florist told me that if you are paying them, no. If they are doing a service for your wedding free of charge, then yes, you should give them a bout or corsage. Just what she said - I'll be getting my pastor one though I'm paying him.

Wow I did not think about our readers and corsages. Thanks for your input on that I would have totally missed that one. Both of ours are neices. I am sure they would love to have a special corsage. So thats two more for the flower list. One grandma, one mom, (he does not have parents and his aunt and uncle are the ones he goes to for everything so we are getting the aunt, uncle and their spouses corsages and boutineers. The groomsmen, the ushers. None for brides father (uniform). Oh I hope I have not forgotten anyone.
