  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?
