Seeing as we are having a very small wedding of just 15 people include us (B & G) I am thinking about not having a boquet at all but getting all the woman (7) corsages as well as myself, though mine would be slightly different to tell it apart, and all the men (8) buttonholes.
I would want to make them myself really, but as an idea what do you guys think?

    I don't know much about flower arranging but as an idea I don't think its a bad one if its what you want i'd say go for it !

    Not everyone is into flowers anyway so if you're not fussed then I would go for the corsage have you thought about a wrist one ?

    I liked the idea of wrists one, but would check what people wanted before the day so they can choose a wrist or lapel style one.

    Well I'm having a biggish wedding and not having a bouquet. Theres no law says you have to carry flowers!
    I'm having a wrist corsage which is lovely and just right for me.
    My DD (BM) insisted she wanted a bouquet to carry so I gave in and got her one. :cool:

    MOG is having a bag corsage as her jacket isn't right for a lapel one.

    I got them all from ebay, they are foam ones and really fab!

    I'm getting married in a vault so no-one would be able to tell if they were real or not anyway

    I never thought of looking on ebay!!! If they were foam or silk ones then they could be a wedding keepsake for everyone to.
    Fab idea CSH.

    I got MOG and H2B's Nanas ones from this seller: This is MOG's one, I emailed her and asked her to put a bag magnet on which she did at no extra cost. Really great quality too!

    My wrist one, BM flowers and all my button holes came from
