Flowers

Christina, on December 19, 2021 at 7:13 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 8
I know the bridesmaids get bouquets and the groomsmen get boutonnières. I plan on getting corsages as well for my mom and his mom (our fathers won’t be present). My question is: who all do I get corsages/boutonnières for? Also, we plan on asking his aunt to marry us. Should I get her a corsage too? Any guidance is appreciated.

    Whoever you want! I think it’s be nice to get his aunt a corsage—I love a pop of floral and she’ll be in your ceremony photos. Anyone you’d like to honor as a special guest can get a floral, with your budget in mind. We did corsages for the moms and my grandmother.

    I agree with Kylie, it's personal preference, but generally, people in the bridal party and immediate family who you are particularly close to.

    In our case, it will be us, the bridesmaids, groomsmen, both fathers, both mothers, and my fiance's grandmother.

    I think it's a lovely touch to get your Aunt a corsage.

    Traditionally moms and grandmas get corsages, dads and grandpas get boutonnières, in addition to the flowers for the bridesmaids/groomsmen. It’s intended to set them apart and make them easily identifiable to guests. You can give a corsage to the officiant if you choose. It’s all personal preference.

    Yep it's all personal preference. Nice to have them for the Moms and the officiant though!

    You can do whatever you would like! We are trying to do a wedding on a semi - low budget and we sat down and talked to people involved with our wedding to see what their thoughts were on having flowers. We are only getting flowers for a few people but we are also having a small wedding.

    Hey there! You could do it for just the groom so that he stands out, or the groom and groomsmen. Many people have the bridesmaids all carry bouquets but if you’re trying to save money on flowers, it’s not completely necessary.

    Thanks for the information, ladies!! We sat down and talked about it, and we picked out who we'd like to honor aside from the wedding party (our moms, gramma, officiant, his uncle, and my niece and nephew).

    It really is on whoever you want Smiley smile
    We had a small wedding.
    I had bouquets for my bridesmaids.
    Corsages for my mom, MIL, aunt (whose house and backyard we used for our wedding), husband's cousin who was our wedding planner/day of coordinator, and my husband's other cousin who was our officiant.
    Boutonnieres for the groomsmen, our brothers, our fathers, and uncle (who also owns the house).
