Is this too much?

Hello ladies,

I have a few issues lol My first one is that my FI and I have been doing a lot of online research for corsages lately. We want to get one for our mothers and grandmothers and we are pretty sure we will be getting silk ones from afloral.com. Last night I was looking at the other flowers they offer on the site and my FI and I both decided that we wanted to get (or make) corsages for the BMs. We bought parasols for them to carry down the isle and thought the corsages would be nice to add a little floral. The thing is I also wanted the girls to wear flowers in their hair similar to the ones in these photos: 

Would having flowers on their wrist and in their hair be too much?

My second dilema is what corsage to get the BMs (if we decide to). I am torn between two pre-maid corsages (below):

 (5 inches in diameter)

 (4 inches in diametter)

 and a flower I can use to make one:

 (also 4 inches)

(My accent color is a burnt orange so I was thinking about just changing the ribbons on the first two, If I pick the rose I wont have to do anything)

I am a very visual person and I am having trouble putting everything together in my head. I don't want to buy the corsages and hair pieces and then not use them. I could really use some help! Thank you!

I love the flowers in their hair. I think it may be too much with the flowers in the hair and a corsage and the parasol? Or do you have a maid of honor? I would just give her a corsage. I personally hate corsages, they remind me of prom and annoy the hell out of my wrist so I would take it off as soon as the ceremony was over.
Other dilemma.. Are you making your Bm's do their hair a certain way? I told my Bm's they can do what they want with their hair so I am not sure they would be able to use the flowers. Not knowing your other colors or dresses I would go for the second corsage, its simpler

Thank you for the response  I have been researching this pretty much all day lol and after doing some more looking I think we decided to do this orchid
 

with this wristlet 

I figured the beads would look a lot better then the standard elastic. 

I have 3 MOHs  lol as crazy as that sounds, my sister, and my 2 best friends. My sister is only 17 and lives in GA so the other 2 mohs are over seeing a lot of things for her. I am having the three of them wear special jewelry that my parents gave me and my 2 friends at our graduation. 

I'm not specifying an exact hairstyle for everyone. So I guess it would be pointless to get the hair accessories lol Thanks again for your input

I'm doing corsages. Yea.. they're annoying and you'll take them off after the ceremony, but do bridesmaids ever carry around their bouquets at the reception?

I dont think you can really overdo flowers at a wedding as long as they all match.

I think the bracelet and hair flower are nice. I think the hair flower and corsage are too much. Pretty bracelet!

Love the bracelet, where is it from? I agree, the bracelet & flower in the hair is a nice combo. You could always just ask them to do their hair in a way that would allow them to wear the hair clip. That way they still have some freedom but you can still have the flowers you want.
