Who gets what?

Are there specific people (other than the bridal party) that are to have flowers on the wedding day? I know that it just depends on what you want, but I didn't know what the traditional ( or newer)  themes were (guest book attendant, mother of the bride, etc). Thanks!

    Usually ushers get bouts. Guest book attendants/program people get a wrist corsage or pin on corsage. Mothers usually get some kind of flowers. For our mothers we did mini bouquets because the moms didn't want pin on flowers to ruin their new dresses and wrist corsages can be uncomfortable. Grandmothers get wrist or pin on corsages usually. Also, if there are special guests or readers they usually get a little pin on or something.

    I think you can skip guest book attendants, program people, and readers with flowers if you need to save the money. I would purchase the parents, grandparents, and ushers something though.

    it really depends on who you want to give them to.  we did corsages for both our mothers, DH's grandmother,  three of my aunts and 2 family friends who helped me out that day.  we did bouts for DH's two brothers , my brother, DH's uncle and a young man who was our usher.

    Yea I'm doing bouts and corsages for parents, grandparents and readers. Well mini bouquets for the mommas bc they too did not want anything pinned on and thought corsages were old shcool. All my ushers will be some of the groomsmen so they will have bouts anyway.

    We will give bouts or corsages to the parents, grandparents, groomsmen (BMs with bouquets), and my SIL who is the mother of the flower girls and the wife of the best man.  All other siblings are included in the wedding party.

    Groomsmen and bridesmaids, all parents and step parents and gandparents... It is nice but not necessary to also include readers, other attendants or helpers, godparents and siblings not in the wedding party...

    Hey I have a question regarding the mothers having little bouquets. Do they just carry them around the whole time do just for the ceremony? Because our mothers dont want pin on, but they also dont want corsages because they look old. Do you think they would get tired of carrying some flowers around?
