Helpful advice regarding the person you choose to pin on the Boutonnieres & Corsages: It is best if this person is not part of the bridal party. They need to be at the Basilica at least one hour before the wedding. Ask your florist to provide STRONG pins and a NAME LABEL for all floral recipients. The Basilica Staff is not responsible for flowers left unattended on the property.
