Yes or No to corsages for mother of bride and groom

Definitely!!! they are the moms they should have something special!

The only choice I gave my mom, FMIL, and step-mom was, "Do you want a pin-on or wristlet?" They are the moms and should get to feel special too! Side-note, I'm also getting a small one for my godmother.

I felt it was important to show they're VIP and asked both if they prefered wrist or pin. My mom wants a pin on and his a wrist.

I think it depends on the dress they will be wearing. If the dress is formal they may not have room to pin on a corsage. I will have our mother wearing wrist corsage and the grandmothers with pinned ones.

Definitely have something for them, but maybe ask if they prefer something for their wrist or if they want to pin it on.

Pinned but keeping it small

One thing that my florist mentioned to me was to ask what sort of material their dresses were. If they are wearing something light that flows, anything pinned on my pull that part of the dress and make it not sit right. He said this is often an issue with grandmothers, so his recommendation was on the wrist if the dress material would support anything being pinned well.

Ask them what they want. My mom wanted nothing. She said she felt awkward having something on her wrist, and her dress was off the shoulder, so that was a no too.

I made wrist corsages with sola flowers, glittery ribbon, and some Goody's hair ribbons that I slightly altered and hot glued the ends together. Sounds weird, but I think it looks cute. It's comfortable, too. :-)

ETA: Photos!

We are doing wrist corsages for the moms. They will be on pretty pearl bracelets. I am so excited about them!

My mom came with me to the florist meeting, and when asked, she said she preferred a pin on! She'll put it on her dress...something to think about! Corsages remind me of prom...!

I'm getting wrist corsages for the grandmothers but I'm having my mother and FMIL carry a rose. This way they look different from the grandmothers AND they told me they wouldn't want the one that pins on because they spent ALOT of money on their dresses and we wouldn't want to ruin them!

We're only doing flowers for The bridal party. I don't see the point of spending money on more for family. Everyone will know who our parents are and I know my mom hates the idea of having an annoying flower on her all day
