Corsages?

They are not required but they are customary to give to all parents.

Traditionally, all mothers and grandmother's get them, but it's not a hard requirement. Perhaps you can ask them what they feel comfortable with.

Yes I am doing it for both our mother's for there wrist or if they want it pinned a long the men bountaires

I just am giving the moms a small bouquet, and grandma a single stem so they feel special! I dont think its required. The single stems are only like 5$ plus corsages can sometimes be annoying

I have been about to save $7,000 on my wedding. Here are a few of my tips:

1. Negotiating with vendors (i.e. offering to pay in full upfront in exchange for 5% off)
2. Researching most cost effective flowers and swapping out for more expensive/out of season flowers
3. Utilizing faux cake tiers with icing and buying sheet cake instead

Not sure if it would be beneficial but I’m happy to help others do the same - just DM me!

I also did boutonnières but no corsages.

We'll probably do boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, dads, grandpas, ushers, and male readers. The moms, grandmas, and female readers will get corsages (bridesmaids will get bouquets). It's easier to pin a boutonniere on men since they'll typically wear a jacket with a lapel. I'd definitely recommend the boutonnieres with magnets instead of pins though!

Paige's suggestion is good - however! I would be very careful with magnets, as they can interfere with pacemakers. So just make sure that no one has a pacemaker before choosing that. But people definitely like things that don't poke holes in their clothing.

We decided to get flowers for all the parents and grandparents. However it's totally optional to do that.

Didn't even think about pacemakers. Definitely something to consider if anyone getting a boutonniere has one. Once upon a time I was helping out with a wedding with 15+ groomsmen (plus dads, readers, etc.) and pinning all of those was a NIGHTMARE lol

Boutonnieres and corsages are not a requirement, and whether you have them is completely up to you. I think they used to be pretty common at weddings back in the day, but I haven’t seen corsages at a wedding in years. We are doing boutonnieres for the men, mainly just because I like the way they look. But we won’t be doing corsages for the women – it felt too dated and “prom” to me.

Not required but I would as a courtesy.

It’s definitely not a requirement, and I think depends on your mom and MIL. If it’s something that they would appreciate, in the grand scheme of the wedding costs, I think it’s a small expense to make them feel special. I had originally thought about skipping them, but my mom adores fresh flowers and bold jewelry, so when I saw that our florist offered these cuffs instead of the traditional corsages, I felt it was worth it.

I did wristlet corsages for my mom, stepmom, FH's mom and his stepmom. As well as bouts for all of the men. I just wanted them to feel special, because they are! However, I do believe they can get quite pricey. I have a family friend doing the flowers for my wedding, which was a nice chunk of change saved. (I still paid her, but she gave me a steep discount)

I gave them to our moms! i felt like if the men got a boutonniere then i'd want them to have something

Body flowers are typically for all parents. You can get some lovely photos of you and your partner pinning them on your parents

I am doing the same as you mentioned above but we have a lot of "partners" ie. mom and stepdad/ dad and girlfriend/ mom and boyfriend. The girlfriends/boyfriends would get a corsage/boutonniere as well as the moms, dads and stepdads right? As long as they are partner of the parent, they factor in?

I think it would be the most accommodating choice to get one for everyone's partners. I definitely want everyone in our processional to have one, and then it's one more corsage/ boutonniere for each of our readers' partners, so we'll probably do that as well.
