Flowers for Moms of Bride and Groom

A few florists have suggested that our moms carry a bouquet, not wear a corsage. Save the corsage for the grandmothers.

Have you seen this? What are you doing?

personally, i did not like the whole mothers carry a bo-k b/c they will not be holding it the whole night plus when i think bo-k i think bridal party.

The corsage for the mothers are made differently than for the grandmothers

My mom carried a very, very small bouquet (I think it was called a nosegay), my MIL and grandmother had wrist corsages. After the photos were taken my mom's bouquet was put in the bridal suite and the others took off their corsages.

Moms carried tiny bo-ks, grandmas had corsages. They had it walking down the aisle and for pics, other than that they didn't carry it and were fine with it.

We did this, we did the nosegays(mini bok's) i was so happy when the florist told us about it bc i wasnt going to do corsages no matter what. I dont like it, and i know my mom would end up getting annoyed with it and taking it off probably lol.

Here is a pic of my mom with her mini bok

my mom doesn't want to wear a corsage - she said it's too 'old' and she doesn't want to wear it all night. She will be holding a small bok

I liked the idea of the corsages for the mothers and the grandmothers. My mom doesnt have a problem with it either...so that is what they are getting

Re: Flowers for Moms of Bride and Groom

My mom doesn't like corsages so I believe I'll be having her hold a small bo-k or something else tiny. The older ladies, incl FMIL, will be wearing a corsage.
