Typically this is how it works (of course you can always do things differently) Bridesmaids = bouquets Groomsmen = bouts Flower Girl = pomander or small nosegay or basket with petals Ring Bearer = bout Ushers = bouts Reader = corsage or bout depending on gender MOB = corsage or nosegay MOG = corsage or nosegay FOB = bout FOB = bout Grandmother of Bride/Groom = corsage or nosegay Grandfather of Bride/Groom = bout
You can give flowers to anyone you want to acknowledge.
I would say that for the women I would ask their preference in what they would like because some women prefer a wrist corsage while others prefer a small nosegay to carry and others may prefer a pin on corsage that they can put either on themselves or their clutch.

I personally feel that a small nosegay/bouquet is more "on trend" these days. My SIL's family asked that grandparents be given corsages, and I noticed that one of the two ladies opted to carry hers.
Instead of flowers we are using feathers. I have feather bouts for the BM, GM and FOG but what about the MOG and Grandmother of groom? Should I use flowers for them or feathers too?
