aside from the BP, here is what we did
corages - 2 readers, MOB, MOG, SMOB (stepmom), Grandmothers, sister of groom (not in wedding)
Bouts - FOB, FOG, Grandfathers
People we wanted to stand out as being recognized
I was recently a reader in a wedding and didn't get any flowers or anything.
It doesn't seem like there are really hard and fast rules about this, we've asked our parents and nobody seems to care, so we're just doing bouquets for the BMs and bouts for the GMs.
We did flowers for the BM, GM, , flower girls & ringbears, mothers and fathers and grandmothers. We didnt even think to do them for the readers. We did wrist coursages for the mothers & grandmothers so it wouldnt ruin the material on their dresses and bouts for the fathers.
We did bouts for GM and Dads (all of our grandparents have passed), wrist corsages for our readers and nosegays for our Moms. The nosegays actually were kind of cool. Neither of our moms really wanted corsages and since we weren't having a unity candle or sand ceremony or anything like that we did a presentation to our moms. We had the officiant talk about how thankful we were for our families and the values they have instilled in us, etc. and as a small token we wanted to present our moms with some flowers. We used small bouquets of their favorite flowers- mini callas for MIL and lilies of the valley for MOB. They loved them and it was a nice way to honor them during the ceremony.
We're going to give flowers to everyone in the bridal party plus:
Fathers & grandfathers (bouts)
Mothers & grandmothers (wrist corsages)
Officiant
I don't think I've ever seen a reader w/ flowers... but if you want to honor them with one, go ahead!
We have arranged for flowers for basically all close family members who are attending, and boutenierres for our readers (who are all men). Nobody really wanted a wrist corsage because they can get bulky and damaged easily, so we ordered corsages that are attached to the dress with magnets, that way there are no pin holes in the fabric.
I think whatever your budget/personal tastes allow can determine who gets flowers. My budget is drastically shrinking, so just FI and I are getting flowers...and they're going to be silk. I haven't run into too much opposition on this one. Except from my sisters...they're being punks and want bouquets beings they're my co MOHs...they'll live. lol Then again...I also haven't told my FMIL she's not getting a corsage...Hopefully I'll live after that one. LOL
We're not doing anything but:
bride flowers
bouts
bridesmiad flowers
my dad's bout
There will be no crosages (ugh, boobie flowers!)
Aside from the bridal party, typically the parents and grandparents get flowers. These days, the rest are pretty optional, and could include the officiant, ushers, readers, soloists, and the guest book attendant.
It's all optional, but typically parents and grandparents get flowers.
Honestly, we'll probably stick with only people who will actually participate in the ceremony (BMs, GMs, Flower girl, ring bearer, my dad - bascially that's it). We have a VERY limited budget, and I know neither of our mother/grandparents would care too much about having any sort of corsage. We will probably honor them some other way.
wedding party, officiant, parents, siblings.
i'm not sure who else. at our wedding only the wedding party are getting flowers. we're trying to save as much money as we can!
JsDragonfly: I'm doing the exact same thing! My MIL was a little surpriced when I first told her, but it's just not in our budget.

I know traditionally the bride and BMs get bouquets and groom and GM get bout's, but who else gets flowers?
Parents?
Readers?
Special guests?
Siblings?
I'm confused about this.
