FLOWER TIPS FOR THE GROOM

Depending on your theme or the mood you and your bride want to create for your wedding, flowers can also be looked upon essential for the wedding or as only an option. If you're going to have flowers, decide if you want real ones or silk ones (they can be dyed any color). Make sure that no one in your wedding party is allergic to flowers or the greenery you are using. For budget purposes you need to decide whether you will use the local florist or a hired floral designer.

For more information on where you may also need flowers check the FLOWER link in the Bride's Planning Guide on the Main Menu. We are going to list the items here that pertain directly to you and your wedding party.

WHO PAYS
Traditionally, the Groom's family paid for the flowers, with the Groom paying for the Bride's bouquet. Today, however both families often share the cost. When you write your order with the florist, make sure you know to whom the bill is made out - and who will pay the deposit and final invoice.

A formal wedding's color scheme is usually white and ivory. Flowers can include roses, lilies, orchids, lilies of the valley, lilacs, gardenias, chrysanthemums, peonies, stephanotis

Contemporary weddings use flowers that range from the popular carnations to daffodil, daisies, freesias and sweet peas to any basket or abundance of wildflowers, or types and colors that you like, including potted plants.

Traditionally, the Maid of Honor carries the same bouquet as the Bridesmaids but usually in different colors or styles. The attendant's bouquets should be in a similar style to that of the Bride. If the attendants are wearing flowers in their hair they should be ordered with the bouquets so that they match. Consider matching silk flowers. The Flower Girl carries either a miniature version of the Bridesmaids flower petals.

The Groom's boutonnière is usually pulled out of the Bride's bouquet, or you can arrange with the florist to have a boutonnière made to match the Bride's bouquet.

It is different from the Best Man's or Groomsmen's boutonnières which are usually in the same color as match the Bridesmaids' dress. Ushers, Groomsmen, fathers and grandfathers also wear a boutonnière.

Corsages for the Bride's and Groom's mothers should coordinate with their color and style of dress. Often, the mothers will want their favourite flower and will decide themselves if they want the corsage to be pinned at the shoulder, waist or handbag or to be worn on their wrist.

If you want to handle your own floral requirements there are several craft books that provide instructions, with photos, tips and suggestions for alternative ideas. Check out the Book Section on the Main Menu.
