Did you do a corsage, wristlet, or mini bouquet?

    We gave them a choice.  My MIL went for a "clutch" of flowers (small bouquet), and my mom picked purse flowers ([url]http://tinyurl.com/purseflowers[/url])

    I asked my mom what she wanted, and she said she wanted a corsage to pin on her jacket. Same thing for my grandma.

    Not sure what the difference is between corsage and wristlet but my mom is wearing flowers on her wrist. She didn't like the idea of mini bouquet and didn't want to pin anything to her dress.

    i was thinking a corsage as the pin on flowers that pin onto their dresses.

    I've read people point out that delicate flowers can get crushed from all the bugging if they're on the lapel, so if you're using delicate flowers maybe do a wrist corsage or a nosegay/tussy mussy instead of a lapel corsage.

    My mother had a small hand-held bouquet, which she loved. 
  • edited December 2011
    My mom said "I don't care either" so I said mini-bouquet and she said "oh, no I don't like that" ha. She's getting a wristlet that she plans on wearing for the ceremony and then leaving on the table. She's not a flower person. I really wanted gardenia for her, but the florist said it would turn brown every time and place it was crushed, so I didn't want that. I think we're doing stock and two orchids.

    Just asked my Stepmom and she gave me a straight forward answer...wristlet. Thank you Stepmom!Mike's Mom will be easy too I think. And I'll probably just get a wristlet for my Mom.

    same as kimmy.  wristlet with pins for any last minute mind changing.

    Ditto wristlets with pins.  Our moms iare tradional so the mini boquet was not for them, although i think they are really nice
  • edited December 2011
    my mom said she didn't want flowers (she thought it was stupid "where am I going to put them" and there was no way she would wear a pin!) so no woman got anything but we got all men bouts (even uncles)
