You will also need to choose flowers for the other wedding party members,
including the groom, mothers of the bride and groom, and the
flower girls.
The groom's boutonniere usually matches the flowers in the bride's bouquet. The boutonnieres for the groomsmen may coordinate with the bridesmaids' bouquets. Choose flowers that blend with the lapels of the groom's and groomsmen's wedding attire. Also consider flowers for the ushers and ring bearer as well as the fathers and grandfathers.
Corsages for the mothers of the bride and groom, and other
special women guests, should coordinate with their wedding
attire and the bride's bouquet. If you don't know what color
they will be wearing, white is a safe color. The corsages may
be either pinned on or worn on the wrist. Another idea that is
becoming popular is to have them carry a petite, hand-held bouquet.
Your flower girls could carry a small round bouquet called a nosegay or a basket of rose petals to distribute while walking down the aisle. Flower crowns make a nice headpiece for the flower girls.
