Mother flowers....?

Original post by TnM1030

Ladies,
Are your mothers/MILs wearing flowers?

We have parent flowers and I just realized corsages are ordered for the mothers...... doesn't that seem strange? For the life of me, I can't find ONE picture of a corsage that doesn't look like it belongs at a prom (on the wrist, with that ugly organza ribbon)!

Do the mothers wear flowers pinned to them, kind of like the boutonnieres, but larger?

Is it strange that I didn't get corsages or flowers?

My mom said she did not want one and I decided to just cut them out to save money. I also hate the way they look. (just my opinion)

Is this odd? Will anyone notice?[/QUOTE

Not at all! I guess its just a nice gesture.... or a more traditional one?

i guess i'll be the odd man out - but i thougt haveing my mom and my MIL carry BoK's would be to reminiscent of a bridal party/bride...so each got her own corsage - they each got to pick their flowers and it was a wristlet. I didn't really think about this too much becaue each requested this too.
i don't think this is too 1980-ish or too prom like, its a wedding and some things are bound to look old fashioned, but IMO, its just traditional.

The only person I got a corsage for is the grandmother of FH. She likes them. For my mother, my MIL, and FH Step mother, I ordered bouquets...They are basically a miniature version of the bridesmaids bouquets. I don't like Corsages and think they are really outdated. FH Grandmother thinks they are beautiful though lol



We did this exactly. Our Moms really liked the mini bouquets. We just felt like our Moms were too young for corsages, does that make sense? lol
