Clutch and wrist corsage instead of BM bouquets, opinions please

Lovely idea, if I don't say so myself, I had wrist corsages as my main thought was what would they do with the bouquet after the ceremony, just walking around with it and leaving it or something! I had orchid ones, with snap wrist bands which although lovely I wouldn't recommend as they are very delicate, what I would recommend is a more robust flower like a rose or fake flowers. They will then last all day! Just a thought

My florist did mine but I think you can get faux ones on Esty

My mum and nanna had wrist corsages and they looked lovely. I think of that's what you wanna do then why not? Couple of examples:

Wrist corsages are lovely. I love the look and the fact it's something a little different.

The only thing i'd say is that sometimes they can take a bit of a beating! If they're made using quite delicate flowers, sometimes they can be knocked off/damaged quite early on in the day. So if you're hoping for them to last a while, perhaps look into flowers that are a little hardier, or perhaps artificial?

It's a shame when flowers are falling off or squished before even leaving for the ceremony ☹️

Sounds like a lovely idea. Wouldn't look odd at all! If it's what you want, go for it.

If you do then I woulld recommend using artificial flowers. I had one for me sisters wedding and it didn't make it to the photos. They can be quite delicately made and aren't a good mix with clumsy bridesmaids.

We are having wrist corsages for the Bridesmaids, mainly because it saved a bit of money and thought it would mean more freedom for them

Thank you all so much, really is appreciated I think it's a goer then! Great advice about using silk/artificial so they don't get too manky.

They look really pretty! I haven't ever really looked at wrist corsages before.. they are cute

Its a great idea. Saves you money and they can use the purse again afterwards. I'm sure a florist HIB can recommend a hardier fresh flower, or as other said, use artificial flowers. You could use a black ribbon or feather to tie in with the theme. I'd recommend they all have a manicure before the big day, because their hands will be in close up photos to capture the corsage.
