Buttonholes

[User83rhd]

i Need to confirm with the florist soon what our final order of flowers will be. I’d put down for buttonholes:

groom
best man
father of the bride
father of the groom
mine and grooms brothers

Didnt even cross my mind about my mother or mother of the groom- happy to get them buttonholes, however I know that both of them will be wearing patterned dresses so the buttonholes would either look odd, or barely visible.

what would you do?

Ushers generally have one.

Yes the ushers have them (my brothers).

Women could have corsage to wear on wrist or pin to handbag? I think I'd ask they wanted one. Agree re ushers/groomsmen if you have any

We had wrist corsages made for our Mums, but we also had (slightly bigger) wrist corsages for the bridesmaids too.

I'd been a bridesmaid a few times and hated juggling bouquet / drink / bag for the rest of the day so I wanted my ladies to be 'hands free'

Ask if they want one.

Although I asked and my mum got very huffy about being asked (when my dad hadn't been asked)... "well MOB usually does" was her reply. Weddings are weird.

Mums definitely and grandparents.
Wishing you a wonderful wedding.

Thanks all, what about if the buttonholes clash badly with what they’re wearing? Does it matter?

@User83rhd what are your colours? Ours were rust and dusty blue but the bouquets had flashes of white and I've just looked back and the mums' corsages were mainly white with a flash of rust. I didn't even think about this in advance but the florist has presumably gone more neutral for the reason that most mums will wear colours and patterns.

Of course you should get the mothers one! They make them stand out as part of the wedding party.

If you are worried about their dresses ask if they'd prefer a wrist corsage but imo it doesn't matter whether the buttonhole "goes" or not.

We skis got them for my nephews, who were 2 and 7. Made them feel very excited and grownup!!

I am getting married. Our mothers are not getting corsages, as they are just uncomfortable and look odd. Reading this, I will speak to them about button holes but their dress material may not support them. I would just ask.

I got loads of extra ones, not matching or anything, and the ushers offered them to guests when they arrived. It wasn't a big fancy wedding, I just thought it was nice and made people feel involved.
