    I suggested pocket squares for the groomsmen to match the BM's purple dresses.  My mother thinks I'm crazy.  Does anyone have pics of a wedding party w/pocket squares in lieu of bouts??

    Oh this is very very popular these days actually. Although I do not have any photos for you, I and 4 other of my friends are getting married in the next year and we are all having pocket squares.

    Certainly cuts now on cost :)

    We're doing pocket squares instead of bouts, but we weren't able to get them to match, so the guys will have white pocket squares and pink vests to match the girls.  I'm not sure how it's going to look, we'll see.

    Thanks guys.  That helps a lot.  She keeps saying, "But I've never SEEN a wedding where the groomsmen didn't have flowers!"

    You've inspired me!  I like the idea of pocket squares and no flowers for the guys.  Thanks!

    I like the idea of both! I'm amking my own flowers, so if the bouts don't work out we can stick with the pockets :) No pics, sorry! Still working on tuxes...

    We are thinking about doing this too! One question, what would you do for the Dads and Grandpa's though, I'm not sure our would dig it?

    We are doing this too!  I will be sure to post pics next month but we are doing pewter squares to match the dresses.  And since they came with the tux rentals, we saved about $70.

    I wasn't planning on doing anything for the dads or grandpas anyway.  There are four grandpas, so it'd be expensive to do something for all of them.  My dad will be wearing a tux, so I'll prob get him a pocket square, but that's it.
