    Hi I am thinking on wearing a wrist corsage instead of carrying a bouquet. My bm's are having wrist corsage and clutch bag and I am thinking the same. Anyone out there done something or thinking something similar?

    Can't say I've thought of that for me, but I can see advantages, definitely handier than carrying a bouquet around!

    I did consider it, but I am not sure as I have my granny's bracelet that I want to wear and not sure if it will be too much having something on both wrists. Some people wouldn't dream of not having a bouquet, but I think a corsage would be better value for money, would be worn for longer than you would hold the bouquet, and would look extremely pretty. I would say go for it.

    mine had smaller versions of my bouquets and i'm a fan of them rather than wrist corsages just so it gives them something to hold when they come down the aisle

    I love the wrist corsages, very pretty but I'm not having them as I would have no idea what to do with my hands. I'd end up fidgeting with my jewellery or my dress. Would prefer to hold something. But as I said, I do love them

    The wrist corsages my friend had for her bridesmaids, looked good at the church but later on at the reception they looked a bit battered and dying quickly. Could just have been the florist that she used but I got the impression that a wrist corsage doesnt last very long compared to a bouquet xx

    My eldest bridesmaids have wrist corsages, I think they are a good twist.
    For me personally a bouquet was the way to go but if its what you like then go for it.

    My BM's are having a wrist corsage. My little BM I am allowing to choose a corsage or wand.

    I am having a smaller wire bound bunch that go in a test tube. Told the flower lady I do not want the flowers being too prominent as I do not want focus being taken from the dress. In my opinion the important bit :)

    Well I have decided to go with a wrist corsage and a very nice clutch bag (I do like my bag with me!!!) instead of a bouquet. Will update with pics after the day.
