    I like the traditional style of bouquets. I kinda don't like corsages in general, they're heavy and hot and look ugly to me.

    Bouquets are usually a better option, if you want to cut down on cost you could do a nosegay for your bridesmaids.

    I think the bridesmaids should have bouquets because to me, corsages remind me of prom.

    I prefer bouquets. As a bridesmaid I'd much prefer a bouquet because it gives me something to do with my hands and the corsage wrist straps are ALWAYS too small for my wrist.

    Bouquets. Corsages remind me of moms and proms.

    I wanted to do corsages because after the ceremony and pictures the flowers will be put to the side and so much money to have them put away but told it would look too promy so we will do simple bouquets and flower rings for the jr bridesmaids

    I prefer bouquets, it gives them something to hold and looks cute in pictures. Then they can set them down and keep them if they want, rather than wrist corsages which I feel fall apart after wearing all day.

    Usually corsages are reserved for the mothers and grandmothers.

    I like the look of the bouquets and it gives them something to hold while they walk down the aisle and stand at the altar.

    You could use the bouquets at your reception by putting them in vases around the room on your cake table, guestbook table, sweetheart table, etc. This way you get more use out of them. At the end of the night the bridesmaids would then take home their bouquet.

    O i think bouquets look better for bridesmaids and corsages for the MOB/MIL...In my case, my soon to be MIL is also my officiant so not quite sure what to do with her in terms of flowers, might still do the corsage but gift it to her after the ceremony, IDK...

    I like bouquets for the "something to do with my hands" opinion. And I plan to use them to decorate the head table. Then the girls can just put them in a vase on their way in!

    I had corsages. I think it just comes down to personal preference.

    I think gifting it to her after the ceremony would be a cute way of thanking her as well.

    I was just debating having corsages for our bridesmaids because their dresses are super long and will need to be held up while they walk down the aisle (and nope, there isn't money for alterations) I think it's a cute idea! They wouldn't Ha e to wear it for the reception, just the ceremony and for photos Smiley smile
