I don't have a pic, but she is getting a corsage. She can choose whether she wants to pin it on or wear it on her wrist.

Our florist told us to have it match her dress. My mom's dress is navy, so we're doing a pale yellow rose w/ some dark blue accents (can't remember the name of the flower). It should look really pretty!

I'm thinking a combo of callas and roses

My mom hates corsages in general, so DH's mom and my mom decided they could do a handheld, but only if it is small...so they each had a few peonies tied together, in pink (same color as BMs but much smaller bo-k)....it looked nice

Re: Moms' flowers.....HELP

here is an alternative to the typical corsage...flower bracelets

or you can do a nosegay or a small bunch (like 3-4 stems)

Re: Moms' flowers.....HELP

my mom, FMIL and my grandma all told me they hate corsages (to wear or to have clipped on) and didnt want it to mess up or pull on their dresses.

we thought about doing some kind of mini bouquet but in the end decided to nix the flowers altogether and put the $$ toward something else

Re: Moms' flowers.....HELP

We asked our moms what they wantd - fmil wants a wrist corsage and her favorite flowers are yellow roses I think that is what we'll do. My mom is walking me down the aisle and my mom expressed concern about what to do with her other habd so the florist said they could make her a small bo-k which at first I did not like but now I think i is a great idea - then I guess she'll have a wrist corsage if that is what she wants.

This is what my mom and FMIL are getting. However, they are getting very small silk boks. They wanted to keep them afterwards, and my florist said she can do it!
