Do the women still get corsages?

Do the moms and grandmas still get corsages or is this something that people don't really do anymore? My mom asked me about it today and I had no clue.

It's still done.  I'm getting them for our moms and grandmas.

Yes it is still done, but my FMIL and mom protested. So they and grandmothers are carrying a single red rose with an ivory ribbon. I think it will look nice during the ceremony and it's easier for them to save if they want to.

Our moms and FI's GM will have bouquets.

Our moms will have corsages. Some people do mini bouquets or pin a flower to their dress or do nothing at all. It's really up to whatever your mom wants.

It is still done. I'm only doing a corsage for my Great-Grandmother (She's 91, and I'm the first Great-Grandbaby to get married). The other moms (Including step-moms) and grandmas are each getting a long-stemmed rose with a ribbon tying a special message to it.

Ask them what they want. Some moms/grandmas get wrist corsages or pin-on corsages; some get a little nosegay (mini bouquet) or a tussy mussy of flowers; some get a little arrangement to pin onto their purses and carry; some don't have any flowers. My mom and grandma are getting pin-on corsages.

I am getting the moms and grandmas wrist corsages. If they want to wear them they can, if not I don't really care. I don't think it is necessary, but a tradition that some people still like to do.

I am doing them.  One tip though, since my wedding is 12/12 and most women who will be getting them will have some type of formal dress jacket we are not doing corsages, I opted for boutonnieres for the women that way a jacket wont crush the flowers. They will look like corsages but just a pin on

It varies why not ask mom since she brought it up if she woudl like them or not. If they would make her feel honored why not go for it. If she dislikes them skip it.

It's definitely still being done..... our moms are getting them (grandma's can't come.... they'll be in the Philippines) but we also involve Godparents in the wedding and the Godmothers will be wearing them as well.  We'll be giving them a choice if they want to wear the wrist corsages or the dress corsages too.

Our mothers, and his grandmother all got one.  I think it's pretty standard.

Yup, it's definitely done. We're doing pin-on corsages for all the important gals in our lives (moms, grandmas, sisters, sisters-in-law). It's a nice way to honor the people you love without having to have 600 attendants!

krazymelmel, send your grandma flowers on your wedding day. message can read 'you are in our hearts today' or something like that.

We are also doing pin on corsages. Although, instead of pin-ons, our florist is using strong magnets so the dresses won't get pin holes. Just a thought!

I know our parents will... not yet sure on grandparents, because then we have to think about step-grandparents... and do domestic partnerships count for that?? Not sure, so I'm trying to swing the just parents vibe.

My mom and my DH's mom both held small bouquets. I thought this was such a cute idea, and they loved it!
