Corsage or bouquet

MrsMtobe, on December 2, 2017 at 9:46 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19

My plan is to have small bouquets done for VIP women instead of corsages because they remind me of prom instead of a wedding. Is this weird? Thoughts?

    Nope I've seen this done before. They're called nosegays.

    Vips like moms and grandma's? I like the sentimate, but would they want to hold them? But if they're ok with it, then go for it.

    One of the florists I met with makes bracelets that can be worn after the wedding instead of corsages. They were actually really nice and not corsage looking. I'm going to see if the florist I went with can do that.

    We did wrist corsages. Asked the moms if they wanted bouquets or wrist corsages, and they both wanted the corsages.

    Our moms will have the small bouquet or nosegay, grandmothers will have corsages.

    We did pin on corsages for our moms. They didn't want something they would have to carry and keep up with. There's looked just as great all day, even after all the hugging Smiley smile

    My mom and MIL got mini bouquets, my grandma and FIL’s new girlfriend got wrist corsages. My florist and wedding planner convinced me this was the norm and you will never see it any other way. We did get quite a deal from being a friend of the industry so I said it was fine. Neither my mom nor MIL are very into flowers (which I knew) and I have no clue what happened to their bouquets after pictures/ceremony. Nona and FILs girlfriend wore their corsages all night.

    Our florist suggested 1 long stemmed rose for the moms and that's what we decided to go with. Neither Mom wanted a corsage and this was also the cheapest option so it was a no brainer for us!

    Not weird at all. I'm doing wristlets made of flower buds instead of corsages because, yeah.... prom. It's not prom

    Not weird, but I'd ask the VIPs what they prefer. I offered bouquets, but they declined. We ended up doing wrist and pinned corsages.

    I also felt like corsages were odd (personal preference, reminds me of prom). After talking to my mom we agreed since neither of us loved any of the options we just decided to skip the flowers for the moms/grandmothers completely.

    I'd talk to the VIPs (or atleast a couple of them) and get a feel for what they'd want - they're the ones who will have to wear it/carry it after all!

    They didn't want boutineers because they didn't want to pin something on their dresses, and we all agreed about corsages looking like prom. Just didn't know if it was odd to do bouquets for them. Thank you all for your help!

    I personally like corsages so the hands can be free. I wouldnt want to carry a bouquet around all night. Its a good way so the guests can know who the vips are otherwise I might just have them walk the aisle and put their names on the program instead. I dont have a wedding party so its either corsage or no flowers at all for me
