Flowers for the moms

We're having corsages for both moms. The average price I've gotten (Toronto) is $30-35 per corsage.

I would prefer to skip it. hahah but FMIL wants one. so I figure I will do it for all of them.

Good to hear its a normal price. i'm not against getting them if they want something. its more of "is this price fair" hahaha

Ok. good to hear! when its something you have never bought before. its hard to know pricing and whats fair/reasonable.

We are doing wrist corsages for our moms, they are $30 each! I'm in Edmonton

I think the moms had corsages but I was so busy on the day of, I have no idea if I even saw them now that I think about it. I think $25 seems about right, and if they want them, that's such a low price to pay for a little peace.

That's a normal price! We're personally skipping them because my mom doesn't want anything like that.

The corsages for my moms are $25 each. We are leaving it at my Step Mom, and FMIL as we want to keep costs down.

They are just going to be super basic and matching what they are wearing

Same here haha, 2 moms and 2 grandmothers! Honestly I didn't think of it item by item because it's all built into my floral cost. So even though the corsages were $25 per, my florist included a flower girl bouquet, my toss bouquet for free, and vases for all mine and my girls' bouquets for when they are not being used. It ends up being less when you look at it from the perspective of a full package with free things thrown in.

Awesome to hear this is an average price. the florist i'm going through seems really reasonable to me. I just wanted that confirmation. haha

plus. when you have 4 moms. 25 each adds up quick.

I really liked the clutch idea when it was shown to me. something different. and they need to carry their clutch anyways.

I don't want to ask too many opinions as 2 "moms" we are surprising with it (one is a very good friend of mine who is like a mom. the other is my FH's dad's "buddy". they are sort of together. but don't live together - never will. but we think of her as a stepmom).

HAHAHHA best response!

they can if you want. I know FMIL really wants them. my aunt (who is being my "mom") will appreciate it. but not care. and then we have 2 other women that are like mom's too us.

I've been to lots of weddings where they weren't done at all. and it still looks great.

Ok. this is good to know. I wasn't sure if that was reasonable or not. and when you need 4 of them. that adds up quick! haha

$25 sounds reasonable for a corsage, that's what I'll be doing!

Wait, what? Parents get flowers? This is the first I've heard of this. Let's just chalk it up to cultural differences haha.

Ugh, this means my FH's family will probably expect something, whereas my parents won't even know what we're talking about.

I figured that I would get wrist corsages but now that you mention the purse/clutch idea that is something that looks really great and I've never seen it done! I of course would give all options to the moms though - if one wants purse flowers and the other wants a corsage, that's cool too.

Our mom's are each getting a corsage, as is my grandmother (the only grandparent who will be at the wedding). Worked out to about 15$ per corsage, but my flowers as a whole were about 40% cheaper by going through a lady who works out of her home (retired after 30+ years as a florist, just does it now for fun) rather than a shop.

20-30$ is the average I saw for corsages though, at least in Edmonton

My flower package from Valley Flowers (through Costco) includes corsages for the moms. You can pick pinned or wrist. I've picked wrist corsages.

I did a corsage for the moms. My friend did small bouquets for the moms. I really like the purse corsage! Those are cute. I've never looked at prices so I don't know what's normal or not.

What about ordering bouts for the moms and attaching them to the purse instead of the dress.

I am thinking of doing corsages although i know my FMIL doesnt want one. I was also quoted around the $25 range for each corsage so seems to be a standard price.
