ABSTRACT
When working with clients, she helps them determine designs for all
of the following recipients and asks the number that will be needed
for each category:
• Bridal bouquet
• Toss bouquet
• Other bridal fl owers (e.g., hair, dress)
• Number of bridesmaids, including maid of honor
• Number of fl ower girls (petals/basket)
• Number of mothers (corsages/nosegays)
• Number of grandmothers (corsages/nosegays)
• Other women needing personal fl owers
• Groom’s boutonniere
• Number of groomsmen, including best man
• Number of ushers
• Ring bearer (boutonniere and pillow)
• Number of fathers
• Number of grandfathers
• Other men needing personal fl owers
When considering the “other” category, this may include the offi ciant,
readers, soloists, guestbook attendant, and, in some cases, all of the
guests if fl owers are used for favors. For example, the company
Speaking Roses (2006) custom embosses fl owers with personalized
messages or photographs, offering a unique type of monogrammed
favor.
