What are the traditional flowers given to members of the wedding party? 

Of course brides get bouquets and groomsmen get boutonnieres...what else am I missing? Do I need to give something to other members of my house party (readers, ushers, etc.)?

    You can give a little corsage/boutonniere to the readers and ushers but also don't forget the parents and grandparents.

    We did:  bride/groom, BMs/groomsmen, ushers, moms, dads, grandparents, and we got bouts for our officiants since they wore suits.

    Typically:

    Bride = bouquet
    Bridesmaids = smaller bouqets
    Groom =  bout (often of a type of flower from the bride's bouquet)
    Gromsmen = bouts
    Fathers, ushers, readers, officiant (if not wearing vestments) = bouts
    Mothers = corsages or small nosegay bouquets

    *Some people also give the grandparents bouts or corsages also

    *The brides flowers do not have to match the other WP flowers, bouts and corsages can match, or be simple carnations or roses, etc...
