Today's tip is about personal flowers, which include your bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres (groom, groomsmen, fathers, grandfathers) and corsages (mothers, grandmothers). Most of the time "corsages" for the women in your family will come in the form of a boutonniere. However, I highly recommend providing wrist corsages instead boutonniere type "corsages" because I have run into the following problems when trying to pin them on: women don't like to have holes poked into their nice dresses, the boutonniere often sits in an awkward spot especially if dresses are strapless or have thin straps, there is nothing for the pin to really grab onto since dress fabrics are sheer/lacy/satin/silk (unlike the thick material of a man's lapel), and the boutonnieres are often too heavy for thinner/sheer fabrics and tend to pull on the fabric. Wouldn't you rather wear a beautiful wrist corsage rather than have your brand new dress poked and prodded? :)
