Do moms really wear... corsages these days?

My mom wants one, so we are going to do them. Her exact words were: "I want everyone to know I'm the mother of the bride!"

We gave our mom's the option of dress or wrist corsages. They chose to wear them on their dresses. Like Carole B, they said a wrist one would drive them crazy.

All of our special people got a corsage or boutineer even if they weren't in the actual wedding party. (husband's step-daughter from previous marriage, my brother, daughter's boyfriend who is like my son) We wanted them to know they are VIP's

Hahaha I hate, hate hate corsages! My FMIL gave me one at our engagement party (which was weird because it was so informal and at a bar) and I was like I will wear this later... she is so into them. My mom hates them too. So I talked to my florist and I am doing a corsage for FMIL, FFIL's fiance and for my mom she is getting a purse corsage to go around her clutch, so she still stands out and she doesnt have to wear a stupid corsage. I remember when I asked her if she wanted one and she looked at me like I had two heads and was like, what, am I going to the freaking prom?! haha pretty much the response I expected. I think you def need to do something to make them stand out, be it a pin, bracelet, corsage or bouquet.

Corsages or more often, wristlets. Sometimes, a flower pin that they can put on their purse.

We're doing flower free so no corsages. I'm making a purse out of my wedding dress fabric for my mom tho.

My mother and grandmother are getting pin ons. Someone posted on another discussion about how sometimes the the mother of the bride gets overlooked at the wedding and the dad gets all of the attention, even though the mother is usually much more involved, so I think it is appropriate to make my mom stand out for all she has done.

I didn’t even think of it as a dated thing but now that you say something, it got me thinking, haha.

Right now our quote with the florist includes corsages for the moms and grandmas.

When I ordered my flowers off eBay the description said 4 corsages (both moms and grandmothers). I got them and they are actually bouts. I like the bouts better IMO

Ours didn't. I hate corsages.

We are doing wristlets, but I plan to have the flowers attached to pearl bracelets. This will give them a keepsake to wear after the wedding.

We did small bouquets for my daughters wedding. The last thing I wanted was a corsage as it would have ruined the look of my dress, not to mention do damage to the fabric of my dress.

The florist suggested small, hand tied bouquets for the Grooms Mother, my ex's wife and me. They were perfect and we then used them in the reception, on the gift table.

We went with mini bouquets. Honestly not a fan of corsages, like Jamie D they feel a bit too "promish".

The sisters, mothers, and grandmothers will all have corsages. We've even planned out a nice role for our sisters where they walk down the aisle and place the corsages on their moms. I think it'll be sweet also, to be clear, all the corsages in question are wrist corsages. I just think they're easier than pinned corsages.

Yes

Had 2 weddings in the last 5 days where the moms got flowers (one pin-on corsages and the other wrist corsages). The guys had boutonnieres at both.

Oh, and these were both beach weddings -- not terribly formal.

We are having corsages. I think the whole point is to give the people that are most important to you something to recognize their contributions to your life and to announch that to the rest of your guests.

If you don't liek the ide a of a corsage don't have one but, I think it would be a nice idea to recognize these members of your family in someway. Many of the other girls had excellent suggestions.

I'm so stuck here. My mom and nana are both deceased and I have a terrible relationship with my stepmother. However, I do not want to offend his mom and grandmother by not doing something for them. It would feel/look so disingenuous to give my stepmother something, but its either they all get something or not. I have no ideas yet.

Our moms wore one and also my grandmother..

I'm going with wrist corsages as well.

I don't like them myself but I heard my Mom mention it. Maybe I can get her to wear a wristlet. At least that's a little better.
