MOB and MOG Flowers

Are you getting hand held bouquets or corsages for your mom and your fh's mom? My mom did not want one and the florist said many do not get anything. I did not want to leave her or fh's mom out of flowers if it is nicer that way.

My mom is dec'd but Im getting FHs Mom a corsage. I'll let her decide whether she wants a hand one or a regular one. I think you should give your FH mom the option also. If your Mom doesn't want one, I wouldn't force her. It's not mandatory.

Both moms are getting corsages. I didn't ask them though. If they don't want it then let it be.

I asked them both what they wanted as well. My mom wants to wear a corsage because she's walking me down the aisle. And FMIL didn't really want a corsage so we're getting her a handheld nosegay. She liked that idea better. I wanted them both to feel special but have what they wanted.

Oh yes, I forgot, we're also getting them for FH's 2 grandmothers.

Re: MOB and MOG Flowers

both mom's got corsages. Another idea is a small nosegay (if they don't want to wear flowers)

Re: MOB and MOG Flowers

I'm sorry, but what is a nosegay?

Re: MOB and MOG Flowers

I don't know how to best describe it, but its like a mini-bouquet. Just a few flowers and it often put in a silver holder or wrapped with ribbon.

curly - I was going to post that same sight (guess we did the same search!). But I thought they were actually bigger than what I would consider a nosegay for MOB or MOG.

At a recent wedding I went to, the bride and her mom held nosegays - they were only about 4inches in diameter. Though it all depends on what flowers you use.
