Do MOBs wear corsages?

I guess it's not required but it helps other guests to know who she is.

Usually they wear corsages, but there's no rule that says they have to. My mom hates the idea of a corsage because she doesn't want to poke holes in a nice dress.

My mom said she doesn't want one. She said people who know us know who my mom is, lol. Very true.

I personally think it looks old fashioned. i won't be doing it. if they're not close enough to me to not know who my mom is then they're not invited to my wedding anyway...

If you don't know who my mother is, you probably aren't invited!!

Sry double post

We did it, but I think our parents like that kind of stuff. You know to make them feel special, but I don't think it's improper to not have them. Does the MOG want to wear something though?

My Mom does not want one, but FMIL does. My Mom is Ok with us just buying one for FMIL.

Moms can also carry a nosegay (small handheld bouquet) if they don't want a corsage. If she really doesn't want to carry around flowers, maybe you can do something like presenting a flower to mothers during the ceremony?

If she doesn't want to poke a hole in her dress, what about a flower for her hair or a wrist corsage?

I'll be making corsages for FMIL and Mom!

My mom and MOG will be wearing something like this

I can't remember if we are doing wrist or pin corsages. Friends of FH will not know our parents without introductions or some physical indication.

I say get a wrist corsage and she can remove it during the reception.

I agree with Jess08. They're not necessary but rather an opportunity to make them feel special. If the MOG wants one but your mom doesn't, make sure your mom will be ok with not having a flower that day and in all of the pictures.

Usually, but if they don't want it, then don't do it!

My mom is insisiting... also she wants my older sisters to have one as well since they are not in the bridal party

@Crys that is gorgeous!

My mom doesn't want to pin anything to her dress either, and said she would forego the corsage because she didn't want me "to spend the money." I told her she is getting flowers and she will like it, since she's a huge part of my wedding and paying for some of it. She will either do a wrist corsage or nosegay

Neither of my parents want flowers, but FMIL does. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. It's not a faux-pas though.

Usually they do wear corsages but its not required by any means. If she doesnt want to wear one, then dont get her one. You will be saving urself money.
