Flowers for the Wedding Party
Bridesmaids carry bouquets similar to the bridal bouquet, but they are typically a touch smaller. They may also wear corsages or wrist bracelets.

The Groom, Groomsmen, Ushers, and Fathers wear boutonnieres. The boutonnieres may be of a different color or flower than the bridesmaid's bouquet.

Don't be afraid to be creative! If you take a swatch of fabric from the bridesmaid's dresses to your florist, he or she can even match the flowers to the dress.
