I am on a pretty tight budget... I was originally planning on just buying the flowers for the bridal party.. Bridal bouquet, and 3 bridesmaids bouquets.. Then the Grooms boutonniere, along with the 3 groomsmens flowers.. Would it be considered rude if I didnt buy flowers for all of the parents and grandparents? Both mine and my fiances parents are remarried, so we have a total of 8 parents and 8 grandparents (plus a stepmothers parents who are also close to the whole family). I don't want to just buy for the Bio parents and grands and no one else, I know there will be hurt feelings.. That is alot of extra flowers and extra money.. One other thing is that my grandpa is going to be the officiant, would I buy him a flower? I don't really know what is right to do in this situation.... Thank you..
Well, yes I do think it would be rude not to include your parents and grandparents. You wouldn't be there without them!
Might I suggest single presentation roses and simple bouttionneires rather than expensive corsages...Probably $8 each or so. Even if you cut back on the bridesmaids, include the parents, they deserve it. Sue of Hobart's Fine Florals http://www.hobartsfineflorals.com
