Boutineers and Corsages

blueikaos

Are you doing them?
Do you feel you HAVE to do them?

I don't think I want to.  I'm having a budget wedding and would rather spend that money elsewhere.

Is it considered rude not to do them?

was wondering the same thing myself!

If I had to pick, I would go with boutineers over corsages. I don't think it is something you have to do, but I do think it dresses up the guys a bit more. I don't think I'll do corsages for my girls. They will be holding bouquettes of flowers, I just feel like that's too much/too cluttery.

We would only be getting a couple coursages for our moms and readers.  I guess we'll see when it gets closer.

I think we will just go with boutineers for the guys, but I haven't given it too much thought though.

I know I want boutineers for the guys, but I'm not a big fan of corsages. Makes me think of prom.

THIS. Though I'm going to ask our moms and my Grandma what they would like, and if they want a corsage, I'll get them one. :

I definitely would get the boutineers for the guys if you are getting bouquets for the girls, I personally think it would be weird for the guys not to have them if the girls have bouquets. If you only want your BP to have flowers, I think that is perfectly ok. I personally dont think it is necessary to go giving bouts and corsages to everyone outside of the bridal party though, I am going to ask my mom and FMIL what they want.

I am not doing corsages. I am planning on making my own bouts the day before the wedding unless the floral lady that does it out of her house is much cheaper that the shop in town. I can get a dozen roses for $12.99, which is just a little over the cost of the floral shop for 1 bout. Then it's just the cost of pins, floral tape and the filler you're using. I may opt to buy the plastic containers if I go that route as well. I'm having moms, grandmas, readers, etc wear a bout too.

I think people notice boutonnieres a lot more than corsages. I think it would look a lot weirder not to have those for the guys

I'm not doing either.. I've never really been fussy on either of them.   We're having a really casual wedding though - I don't know if it's against etiquette to exclude them, but my group of friends wouldn't expect them from me LoL

Thanks for the feedback ladies.
FI doesn't like boutineers and doesn't want his men to have them...and I figure to save the money and headache of figuring them out- I probably just won't do them.

 JennLax- our wedding will be pretty laid back as well so i don't see it being a problem
