I read something beautiful....Have two corsages ( I know you said you dont want to give it to them butt..) placed in your bouquet...when you walk down the isle when your dad lifts your veil., you give him one corsage and he gives it to your mother...and then when the priest pronounces you man and wife....on the way out you give the second corsage to your MIL......

its cute

I think this is a nice touch for the MOB and FMIL. Of course it doesnt have to be that big and you can work with the colors.

I dont think my mom or aunt, MIL would want to carry anything in their hands for the church time, my mom hates holding anything and during that day I can imagine she being crazy and forgetting the nosegay when she will be holding other things. Did anyone put that into consideration??

Why not use something like this if your mom doesnt want to hold anything. Found it on a LI Bride's review. I think it looks pretty.
