Basically i was intending to get buttonholes for H2B, Best Man, Ushers, My Dad, H2B's dad and H2B's mum's Husband (who i guess is technically H2B's step-dad but he would NEVER refer to him as that) Then corsages for my mum, H2B's mum and my dad's long term partner. I mentioned this to H2B this morning and he is not happy about his mum's husband wearing the same buttonhole as his dad (long story but his mum's husband was also his teacher at secondary school so to h2b, he will always be Mr *** and he cant see him any other way). So h2b said we should just do them for our parents, not step-parents. But i'd feel funny leaving my dad's partner out, i get on really well with her (so does my mum) and want her to feel included. But we cant do one for my dad's partner and leave out his mum's H, can we?!? So i said maybe the BM / ushers / his mum's H / my dad's partner could all have the same buttonhole, our dad's could have a different "more special" one, and our mum's have corsages. I think h2b would compromise to do this (though he still says why does his mum's H have to have one at all?) but will it look really odd if the bridal party have three different types of buttonholes to wear?? (or 4 cos H2B wanted his to be different to everyone elses too!) I'd get them all the same flower (ivory roses) but would make them different in some way.
Sorry if you're totally confused by all that but any suggestion/thoughts would be helpful. Thanks ?
