corsage wrist or pin?
in Flowers
I know that I over think small things, mostly to procrastinate but you guys save my fiance from hearing it all, so thanks in advance! Here's my latest over think...
I want to do bouts and corsages for WP, grandparents and parents and I've found fabric flowers that I'd like to make. There is only 1 girl in the WP and she wants a pin on corsage because she is on the Groom's side with her brothers and wants it to be similar.
Should the rest of the lady's corsages be pin on or wrist ones? I thought the women wouldn't want their dresses poked with a pin but maybe it dosn't matter? If you were a mom or grandma of the bride or groom, which would you prefer?
If wrist corsages are the way to go, you know I'll be back with "how do I get the right wrist measurement?"

Re: corsage wrist or pin?
Simply ask them what they want. That takes out of it any guesswork. That's what I did.

I know that asking does seem to be the best and obvious solution but between moms, stepmoms and grannies we have 7 corsages and these are all wonderful ladies that will try to make things easier for my by saying to do whatever I think looks best.
I really do want them to be happy and feel special. The hard part is assuring them that I want them to feel that way and getting them to say what they really want.
So it all comes to personal prefernce and what will work with the outfit that they are wearing. Ask them if possible. They don't all have to be the same.
Wrist corsages are done with elastic bands that stretch, but if someone is quite obese, you should not necessarily assume they will be comfortable. Ditto if they are super petite.
We offered all four moms (no living grandmothers, two stepmoms, two moms) the choice of:
Small Bouquet
Pin On Corsage
Wrist Corsage
Headband or Fascinator (type of thing) with Floral Element
