Traditionally the mother of the groom will wear a corsage rather than carry a bouquet or posy, and the same goes for the mother of the bride. Before deciding on a corsage design, do some research into the types of design that are available as well as into the types of flowers that are suitable for corsages. Look online, in bridal magazines, and visit florists around Sheffield for inspiration.
Consider the colours and decor already used inside the Sheffield wedding venue that you have chosen. If it is a historic building, then you may want to consider a more traditional corsage design. If it is a more contemporary venue, then you can experiment with more modern designs.
Make sure that you have a budget in place for all of the flowers that will be used to decorate your Sheffield wedding venue and for your wedding party guests. Get quotes from several florists and see how much different corsage designs and flowers for the mother of the groom will affect your budget.
The mother of the groom may have her own preferences when it comes to flowers that she loves, or hates. Talk to her about her tastes, as well as scents that she enjoys. As she will be wearing her corsage for a whole day, you want to pick a flower with a scent that she will enjoy.
Your chosen Sheffield florist will be able to give guidance and advice, as well as giving you ideas for your wedding corsages. They will be able to pinpoint flowers that will look fresh all day long, as well as design inspirations. Make sure to let your florist know what the mother of the groom will be wearing. The style of her outfit will affect the kind of styles of corsage that will suit, while the colour of her outfit is important too.
A lovely floral touch is to pick out matching corsages for both the mother of the groom and the mother of the bride. This will help them to stand out from the rest of the wedding party, showing that they are special guests, and will help with your wedding flower coordination too.
Choosing flowers that are seasonal can affect the price of corsages. To keep your costs down, talk to your florist to find out which flowers will be in season come the day of your wedding day in Sheffield. In-season flowers are not only cheaper to purchase, but tend to be far fresher, meaning they will last longer too.
A great way to make choosing flowers for the mother of the groom a whole lot easier is to plan and design your own bridal bouquet first. Your bridal bouquet will be the floral centrepiece of the whole wedding, and once this is in place, it is easy to choose flowers for the other members of your wedding party that will tie in perfectly with your own.
