Who gets flowers?

Hi Ladies,

Was wondering if you could all help me on two accounts...

1. Who exactly gets flowers? I mean, I know me and the BMs, of course. But what about mom's? Grandma's? People reading in the ceremony? Both our dad's?

2. If any of you are doing or have done low centerpieces, I would LOVE to see pics...

Thank you!
Amanda

ditto

that's what we did---BP & moms got flowers. (our grandparents have passed on--otherwise i definitely would have gotten them too)

my brother wasn't part of the BP --but since he walked my mom down the aisle, i got one for him

we got 2 smaller corsages for the readers

My mom and MIL did NOT want flowers. I think my mom would have killed me if she had to wear a corsage... Just ask the mothers first if they want flowers. Some people prefer not to wear a corsage.

Aunts, really? I feel like my aunts wouldn't get that...I mean - between the groom and I we have 18 Aunts...so it could be a bit much

Thank you for the list though - you guys have all been super helpful!
