"Man of Honour" help

JemmaJC · January 2012

Hi all,

I am having a male as my honour attendant (i like to refer to him as my bridesman or man of honour). Anyway, i have no idea what he should hold when walking down the aisle in leiu of flowers. Does anyone have an idea. Thanks

Hmmm.... I don't know if there is a specific rule for this, but if you're just in the market for suggestions, I would say that flowers are probably out, they are pretty girly, as would be fans, lolipops, or other traditional carries. Are you doing readings, or taking vows from a book? He could carry the book they're in, if it's something attractive. You could even put all of the readings, etc. into an album for him to carry. Once he gets up to the alter, he hands it to the officient, and takes his place.

He doesn't have to carry anything.

I'm not having my bridesman carry anything.

Nothing. He can just walk in like the GMs do. And ask him what he wants his title to be in the program... "Bride's attendants" might be more appropriate/formal.

I don't think he needs to carry anything. Just call him an Honor Attendant & have him stand by you.

I'm having a Man of Hnor as well and I wasn't planning on having him hold anything.

I am having a man of honor as well and he is wearing a boutonniere but not carring anything. I think it will work out better because his hands will be free to take my bouquet!
