Wedding Flowers 101 - Who Should Have Or Wear Flowers On The Big Day?

Hello!


As a wedding florist, one of the first questions I am often asked during a consultation is "who in the bridal party gets flowers?" or "should I give my brothers/brother-in-law/sisters a buttonhole?"

You can decide to give as many or as few people as you choose flowers to hold or wear at your wedding. But here is what we usually advise - everyone in the main bridal party, plus parents of the bride and groom gets flowers to wear.


So that should cover

  • Bride's Bouquet

  • Groom's Boutonniere

  • Bridesmaids Bouquet's

  • Groomsmen's Bouttoniere's

  • Dad's Buttonholes

  • Mum's Buttonholes or Corsages


Sometimes if someone has an important role, such as the celebrant, or ushers, they might be included in the list too. But this is a personal choice, not obligatory!


I usually advise the following - anyone in the main bridal party, and possibly anyone who will feature in the majority of the wedding photos!

I hope this helps!
