Wedding Corsages |

|
Corsages are meant to designate special family members. Typically, the mothers and grandmothers of both the bride and the groom wear corsages. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your corsages…
- The price of corsages can range anywhere from $15.00 to $30.00 or more, depending on the size and type of flowers. If you are on a budget, stay with a simple corsage.

- Be careful not to make the corsage so elaborate, that it becomes large and heavy. Today, there are many delicate fabrics, such as silk, that can not withstand a pin through the fabric or the ability to support a heavy corsage. In most cases, when it comes to corsages -- smaller is better.
- Corsages can be worn in many different ways. They can be pinned to the dress, attached to a purse or worn around the wrist. It's a good idea to ask the person who will be wearing the corsage, which style they prefer to wear. You might also ask about the color of their dress in order to help you choose flowers for the corsage that best compliments their wedding attire. Then, give all this information to your florist.
- A great alternative to the corsage (and cost effective too) -- give that special person a single rose or very small bouquet tied with tulle and ribbon. The hand held flower or bouquet looks great in the wedding pictures and when the mothers are escorted down the aisle.
- Corsages are meant to designate special family members. However, you may also give corsages to special friends or those participating in your wedding ceremony, such as your readers, soloist or musician.
