Mother's Flowers

I'm using all fake flowers for bouquets and bouts and am wondering what to do for the mothers. My mom doesn't really want to wear a corsage so we had thought about doing small bouquets for them as well. Has anyone done this? Do you have a picture? Did you make them similar to yours or the bridesmaids?
Thanks!

      I've seen the mothers carry small bouquets. I've also seen corsages pinned to clutch purses. You can do a google image search for "mother of the bride nosegay" or "clutch purse corsage" to see both looks.

    My mother hates corsages, so she has been thinking about just carrying a single flower. If she decides to go that route, I'll just tie a pretty ribbon on it. I've seen BMs do this as well.

    Our mothers carried nosegays and they really liked them.

    My Mother, MIL and Grandma carried small bouquets of callas tied with a white ribbon.  This was nothing like the blue and yellow bouquets carried by my bridesmaids.   I chose an all white bouquet because my mother and MIL kept changing the colors of their dresses and I wanted their bouquets to coordinate with their dresses.

    We are using modern chunky sterling silver bracelets and our florist is going to attach mini calla lilies to them.

    we are doing small nosegays for the mothers.  my mom hates wearing corsages and would actually prefer not to carry anything but i insisted that she needed something.  this way she can place the nosegay on the dinner table and not have to worry about something attached to her all night.
