Corsages

Two questions:

Are you going with wrist or pin-on corsages for mothers, readers, attendents, etc?

What's the etiquette on immediate family not in the wedding party - flower them or not?

I asked our mothers what they prefer, and they all said pin on, so that's what we're doing. I'm just making it easy and doing the same for readers/gmas too.

I think who you include just depends on your budget and size of family. I think parents and grandparents are more common to include than siblings, but if you want to include them and it's in the budget, I think it would be nice to.

Only the moms are getting corsages. My mom and FI's stepmom prefered the wrist corsages, so that's what we are doing. If we had grandparents in attendance, I would give them corsages and bouts, but that's it.

We are doing corsages for the moms and grandma's. Boutennieres (sp?) for the Dads and grandpas.

We are doing corsages for moms and grandmas and FI's sister who didn't want to be in the wedding.  We are also doing bout's for the dads and grandfathers.  The women are a mix of pin on and wrist corsages.

We're doing wrist for the moms and FI's step-grandma. The dads get bouts. We went with wrist because my mom didnt want to pin anything on her dress! Also, my florist will put them on nice braclets instead of just elastic.

Bout for my Dad.

I would just ask. I thought pin on would be nicer but the women preferred wrist. So you never know lol. I wouldn't mind having a mix either, if some wanted wrist and others wanted pinned.

Wrist coursages for our parents.  They both prefered those because then they won't worry about the flowers getting crushed when they hug someone and I think that's a really great thing to keep in mind!  My florist has those like snap on bracelets, like the ones from the early 90s when you smacked it on someone's wrist and it wrapped around?  They're so much more comfortable and secure than the elastic.

All our siblings are in the wedding so they've all got flowers regardless.  No flowers for gparents or readers though.  Never thought of readers to be honest...No ushers in our wedding, just GM.
