Mothers

Do you mean for corsages and such? I just ordered my flowers today, and didn`t really think about this - but what I ended up doing was getting the same style of corsage for all three (his mom, my mom and stepmother), but different colours. I selected the colours based on what would look good with what they were wearing, and what colour they like.

Hope this helps!

Yes, that`s what I meant. He says that they MUST be the same colour and style and I disagree.

I do like the idea of different colours, but this little stupid detail is creating an argument between him and I. My mother means a lot to me, as both my parents are paying for our wedding. His father and stepmother haven`t done anything, not even ofer to help or pay anything.

What do you think?

PS. Thank you so much for responding to my post. It`s great being able to talk to people that are on the same boat.

Hi K:

I`m guessing that I should count myself lucky here - my fiancé, while he`s the organized one who`s taking care of a lot of things, on the flower issue he has asked me to just take care of it since he doesn`t have flower knowledge.

On to your argument. Perhaps you should gently tell your partner that his desire for identical corsages is small stuff, not really worth arguing over. By the time this wedding rolls around, there will be far bigger decisions to argue about!

Maybe see what the women involved think? I mean, if his stepmom or your mother don`t have a problem with wearing different colours, he probably shouldn`t have a problem with it either! :)

A compromise could be to do what I`m doing - purchase identical corsages, same flowers but different colours. My mom loves pink, so pink she shall have. My stepmother and my mother-in-law to be can also select what they feel is best for them.

Good luck!

Hi there,
Thank you so much for your advice. I am going to speak with him and see what says. My mom also doesn`t think that identical arrangements will be nice, she suggested different colours as well. Men can be so pig headed sometimes...:--)

Hi! I am making the flowers and have the advantage of knowing what the moms are wearing, including grandmom. I`m making similar corsages for all, but they will be colors that will go with their dresses. I also added their favorite flowers into the corsages. I think that if the moms are all wearing different things and they`re all different anyway, then it is easier getting them something unique. This way, they`ll appreciate their own special flowers.

Pig-headed indeed! Why are we marrying these people? *laugh*

Because we love them in spite of their pig-headedness. :) And personally, I can be pretty pig-headed myself.
