The Language of Flowers

Use this glossary to guide you as you select flowers for your wedding party.

BOUTONNIERE: usually one flower as the focal point; traditionally pinned to the left lapel of a suit jacket worn by the groom or groomsman.

CORSAGE: pinned on the left side of the chest – traditionally worn by the mothers of the bride and groom; a wristlet or bracelet corsage is an alternative.

NOSEGAY BOUQUET: consists of just a few stems, often more greenery than flowers; bridesmaids and flower girls typically carry this.

POSY BOUQUET: a small bundle of blooms with stems cut to the same length and bound tightly together; many brides these days opt for this type of smaller bouquet.

ROUND BOUQUET: includes one type of flower (roses, for instance) or a mix of flowers of a similar hue; a more traditional bridal bouquet

Words of Advice: Hire Help!

Sally Hegwood Vliet and Chris Hegwood used day-of coordinator Abby Acken for their wedding at The Ivy House. Here’s why they can’t stop singing her praises.

YOU’RE TAKEN CARE OF On your wedding day, there’s not much time for the couple to worry about the details. Acken oversaw everything, from makeup to the last drinks, to make sure it was going perfectly. “It was like having a friend making sure we were OK,” Sally says.

YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS Acken also handled all the vendors – each of whom she had worked with many times. “Chris and I were not paying attention,” Sally says. “Abby took care of it.”

YOU DON’T STRESS Acken assured the couple that if any disaster happened, she would fix it. Sally felt unburdened. “You don’t want to be thinking about anything but enjoying yourself and celebrating your love,” Sally says.

You May Now Choose Your Officiant

Your officiant isn’t just the one who makes it official. “[They’re] basically guiding the ceremony,” says the Rev. Jennifer Miller, who’s been marrying couples in Wisconsin for almost 30 years. So, whether it’s a family member, a close friend or a professional, here’s what to keep in mind when picking an officiant.

THEY CARE ABOUT YOU

It sounds obvious, but the right officiant should know what makes your love story your own. That way, they can infuse the ceremony with personal touches instead of using a template.

THEY’RE A GOOD PUBLIC SPEAKER

Loud, clear and confident. And that means having a way with words, too, says Miller. Great officiants can help you express your love through your vows.

THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE

Anyone can legally be an officiant in Wisconsin. If you are of the opinion that experience means they know you really well, that counts. But if you’re looking for someone with experience navigating the nuances of officiating, you might opt for a pro.
