Mother's corsages...pin or wrist

MrsBoss2012

Which are you doing? I like the look of the wrist but I feel like with it pinned on the chest it sticks out more. You can't see someone's hands across the room.

I think it's a personal preference. My mom wanted a pin, MIL wanted a wrist corsage. Maybe see if they have preference.

I would ask them which they prefer and then that way they are comfortable. My mother and FMIL both opted out of wearing flowers because they feel that they are too young to wear them lol so only our grandmother's will have them.

They don't have a preference they are asking me so I was just trying to get a feel. The only thing they preferred is that they are made of artificial flowers so they can keep them.

I'm doing wrist for mom, grandmom, FMIL and FSIL. I woundn't want to obstruct their outfits.

In that case... I like pins - wrist corsages remind me of prom. LOL.

My mother & aunt wasn't trying to have ANYTHING on thier dresses.. they wanted to show it off to the fullest.. so the wrist corsage was thier choice.

I also did a wrist corsage for one of my ushers.. she really didn't have to agree to do it, and she is hubby's big cousin, so I honored her in that way.

I'm doing wrist corsages except for my grandma, she's having a silk pin on (can't do real flowers). I decided on wrist corsages because if you are anything like my mom, that pin on corsage will just throw the entire dress OFF! I HATE corsages as it is, BUT if its a must.....wrist it will be.

In regards to this.....anybody who is there BETTA know who the moms are. So the corsage, IMO, is just a traditional piece.

See that's what I'm thinking about. His distant family and my distant family haven't seen the moms. Our coworkers won't really know who they are. But I guess it would be obvious huh?

Wrist corsages

My mother is making this decision for herself; I'm not messing with Ms. Diva! For everyone else, they will be pinned, since my mom are DYI'ing them.

I WAS doing pin on corsages for my mom, grandma and FMIL BUT my mom has a broach on her dress so I'm changing hers only to a wrist corsage.  She loves her dress and the broach matches  her other jewelry so wrist corsage it is! 

MrsBoss2012

Thanks ladies! Ok I'm thinking wrist for mom's and pin for grandma's. Both grandma's have weird issues with their hands....swelling and all that so we will just avoid that area!
