Buttonholes for women??

Hiya, Firstly a corserge for a wedding is like a button hole incase you were unsure (I was, to me a corserge is something a woman wears on her wrist for a prom!!)! I think my florist told me that a mans button hole is usually just one flower whereas a ladies corserge is more than one flower. I am only having them for my MOB and FMIL. But is your preference really. I just think about saving money. It is only my immediate bridal party having button holes also.

We went to a wedding last year where all of the close family were given buttonholes and corsages. The bride gave ladies a choice of having it on their wrist or as a pin.

Personally, I'm making felt and button buttnholes for the boys and felt/flower hearts for the ladies. Definitely for the wedding party/family, and then if I can be arsed to make more, everyone. Can double up as a little favour

I am not bothering for the women as we have 4 sets of parents between us so I would either have to pay out for everybody and nobody, men included. My mum isnt fussed about having one nor is my stepmum so its easier just to go for the immediate male wedding party members (groom, usher, best man and my dad) Saves money too!

Thanks for the advice - I'll have to have a think about this and try to draw up a final list!

The difference is that buttonholes are just that - they go in the hole in the man's jacket. Women wouldn't have that hole, so they have something that can be pinned onto their jacket or dress. As I understand it, traditional corsages also hang downwards, whereas the buttonholes face upwards. Neither of our mothers had a corsage, because their dresses were quite fussy.

Hi im having button holes for all my ceremony guests, the men which will just be H2B my dad and jamie our son there having a white rose with a pink fressia to match my bouquet the important women which are my aunt (step in mum) my nan and mil will be having a pink rose with a white fressia and everyone else will be having white carnations.

So often I see mum struggling with the corsage - trying to get it to hang nicely because they are trying to hang it "up" when it is or should be built to hang down. As soon as they hang it down its a perfect fit.Also the ladies corsage can come with a magnet fixing so as not to damage your top. Or you can get them made to fit your cluch bag, so sometimes if it is hot the top (not blouse) may be removed and so loosing the flower so by having it on the bag you keep the flower

A lot of the time the men's button hole in their jackets is still sewn up, or the flower and stem may have extras that just will not fit in the hole so most of the time the flower looks better pined on the lapel as opposed to trying to stuff it in the hole.
