Okay, so, let’s talk about the groomsmen’s flowers for my buddy’s wedding. I took on this task because, well, someone had to, and I figured I could handle it. It turned out to be a bit more involved than I initially thought, but hey, we got there in the end!
First off, I started by hitting up the internet, just to get a basic idea of what’s out there. I mean, flowers are flowers, right? Turns out, there are tons of options! I learned that the groom usually wears a boutonniere, and it’s a nice touch for the groomsmen to have them too. They don’t have to be super fancy, but it’s a good way to tie everyone’s look together.
Next, I had a chat with the groom. I figured it was his wedding, so his opinion mattered most. We looked at some pictures online and talked about the overall vibe of the wedding. It was more of a classic, elegant affair, so we decided to steer clear of anything too wild or colorful. We decided to use classic rose for the boutonniere.
Then came the fun part – actually choosing the flowers. I went to a local florist. I just picked one that looked nice from the outside, to be honest. I talked to the florist, a nice lady who seemed to know her stuff, and explained what I was looking for. She showed me a bunch of different options, and we picked out some simple, white roses that looked pretty sharp.
After that, I had to figure out how many we needed. Counted up the groomsmen, the best man, and of course, the groom himself. I also decided to get a couple of extra, just in case. Better to have too many than not enough, I always say.
Once the flowers were ordered, I made sure to confirm the pickup date and time with the florist. No way was I going to mess that up! I also made a note in my calendar to remind myself.
Finally, the big day arrived. I picked up the boutonnieres from the florist, and they looked great! I made sure each guy got one. It’s a little thing, but it really did make a difference. Everyone looked a little more polished, a little more put together. It was like the flowers were the final piece of the puzzle.
- Started with online research.
- Chatted with the groom about style.
- Visited a local florist.
- Selected simple, white roses.
- Ordered enough for all the guys.
- Confirmed pickup details.
- Distributed the boutonnieres on the wedding day.
So yeah, that’s the story of how I handled the groomsmen’s flowers. It wasn’t rocket science, but it was definitely a learning experience. And you know what? It felt pretty good to contribute to my friend’s wedding in a small but meaningful way. I will be sharing more about wedding in the future.
