Mom/Grandma Corsage Alternatives?

This is the favorite thing I've seen. But I'm lazy and poor, so I just went ahead with regular corsages. These can be made, and can be as affordable (fake flowers, etc.) or as expensive as you want.

That is a pretty cool bracelet! Putting it in my memory banks, Caitlin.

I'm not a fan of corsages either. That's the only thing I've seen (at least that I liked) so far.

What about a flower-shaped brooch for each mom/g'ma?

I got the wristlet at Hobby Lobby, bought two roses during the 50% off week and used hot glue, nothing fancy but I didn't want to spend that money either!

My florist actually suggested that I do boutonnieres for my mom and MIL because on the day of the wedding, they'll be shaking hands or hugging a lot of people and if they have a big thing on their wrists, the flowers will get destroyed very quickly. She made a very beautiful one for very cheap... $14 each (would've been $12 each but instead of using the traditional pins to attach it to the dress, my florist use magnets instead because I told her fabric on my mom's dress is delicate)

I am thinking of getting my Mom and FMIL flowers ( most likely artificial) to wear in their hair.

What about a bracelet? They could wear them for the wedding and then have as a keepsake.

And Caitlin - that is just a single football mum on a pearl corsage bracelet (you can get those bracelets at Hobby lobby for a couple of bucks!)

I'm making my ladies feather corsages with with a brooch in the middle. I haven't started yet, but they sound pretty in my mind.

I'm not doing corsages. I'm giving our moms clutches.

I turned brooches in to haircombs for the bridal party, and got similar ones that I left as brooches for the older ladies/parents to wear. Our florist is more of a flower vendor and while they'll wrap up bouquets for us they don't make corsages- and I don't feel like trying to make them the day of the wedding- so they will get brooches whether they wear them or not!

Pin corsages, wrist corsages, or they can hold mini bouquets!

I'm having a brooch bouquet so I'm going to get them all flower brooches

I've been to several weddings where the moms wore boutonnieres instead. I thought it looked soooo nice. They were different from the men's of course.

I agree that the corsages usually don't last very long with all the hugs, handshakes and helping.

I bought these off etsy instead of traditional corsages.

What about letting them carry small nosegays? This is what I'm going to do since I'm not a big fan of corsages.

I'm not a fan either but it'll make my mom happy.. therefore I will be happy.

They could each carry a single stem of whatever flowers you are using, with a ribbon tied on
