bouquets,, boutonnieres, AND corsages?

Corsages are for mother of bride, mother of groom, and any grandmothers (if you'd like)

I see okay thanks!

And no...they do not have to match

^ what Future Mrs. H said!

The mom's corsages don't have to match, but ours are- so that no one can get competitive lol.

Other people who may get boutonnieres, other than the groom and GM, would be fathers and grandfathers (if you want).

Please have whoever picks up your flowers count the bouts and corsages carefully. My big sister was in a wedding where they were shorted one corsage, I was shorted one bout, and I've read of others with the same problem on here. I don't know if they figure people won't notice till it's too late, or it's just a coincidence, but it's embrassing to have to tell the MOG, officiant, whoever-- "sorry, we ran out of flowers!"

We may go much simpler and prob will just do bouquets for bride and bridesmaids, bouts for groom, groomsmen, and FOB.... and that's it. We're DIYing and its less work haha

Great tips are already on here, as far as who receives what. Yes, the corsages don't have to match but if you have any potential "rivalry" between mother and mother-in-law, or grandmothers, aunts, etc. then yes, you can keep them all the same to avoid any comments. You can also give corsages to any other special female you want to honour on your wedding day, such as a favourite aunt, a family friend who is like a "second mother" or anyone else. You can make corsages and boutonneries and there are some great DIY videos online. If you pick a simple design and buy bulk wholesale flowers, it's very reasonable, although yes, there is a small added work factor. You can always get the bridesmaids, friends or family to help make some of these items This frees you up to enjoy other aspects of your wedding planning. Good luck!

Boutonierres are what the men get. It's pretty much a requirement for fathers, groom, and groomsmen... usually the ring bearer too, but if he's too young then skip it. Beyond that, some opt to give it to grandfathers, godfathers, etc. - basically any other men that they are VERY close to.

Corsages can be the wrist kind or a pin-on kind (like a boutonniere but usually a little bigger/fancier and with a ribbon). They go to mothers (unless mothers would like a small bouquet instead). I have seen these kinds of women get them also: grandmothers, godmothers, readers, any other attendants - like pianist, etc.

Bridesmaids definitely just get a bouquet. Not both.

It is my personal preference that the bride's bouquet and groom's boutonniere coordinate with each other. Likewise with the groomsmens' boutonnieres coordinating with the bridesmaids, and mothers with fathers. However, there is no rule, and you can do what you want.

GMen and Fathers will coordinate with the BM's tussie mussie's.

The MOH is carrying a feather fan with small brooches along the bottom of the feathers.

FH will have a color that matches my bouquet but something will be incorporated that represents him. He loves music and classic cars so I'm figuring it out.

MOB and MOG will have corsages...I think...but they will be done with them in mind. My mother wants me to place my grandmothers favorite flower..a gardenia, in my bouquet, she passed just last year. So I think I will do a corsage that also has a gardenia in it for my mother. My MIL loves yellow roses so I think I will doing something with a more gold toned rose for her.

I am not getting boutineers for groomsmen. They are using colored pocket squares in red to match my girls flowers. We will have white. FH, FOG and my brothers get boutineers. They are walking me down aisle.
