Picking Wedding Flowers For Mom Of The New Bride

By Lucille Smith


The majority of brides dream of having a stunning wedding, complete with beautiful flowers. Flowers are usually done up in a bouquet for the new bride and her attendants, the groom and his groomsmen and for decoration. Nevertheless, many people question what types of flowers are appropriate for the mom of the new bride as well.

Meaning

Each flower has a symbolic meaning, so you can give the mother of the bride-to-be a special symbol of your love by choosing flowers that have meaning to you and her. For instance, pink carnations imply gratitude while gardenias symbolize joy. You can present the mother of the bride-to-be with an arrangement designed to show her how you feel.

Significance

While some new brides may be stuck with Momzillas during the wedding planning, other brides grow closer to their mothers than ever before. Show her that she is special to you by picking a bouquet, corsage or wrist corsage just for her.

Colors

While the mom of the bride-to-be flowers should look similar to the rest of the wedding flowers, they do not have to match. Think about the overall theme of your wedding, the color of outfit the mom of the bride will be wearing, the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets and then pick an arrangement with similar colors and style that will complement the rest of the flowers.

Browse Magazines

Bridal magazines, floral websites and wedding-centered photography websites are all fantastic places to get ideas when it comes to the mom of the new bride flowers. You can browse and see what you like or do not like. You can stay with something you have seen that you like or you can combine ideas to come up with something unique.

The Mom

Talk over the different choices you are thinking about with your mom, it can help to obtain her input on what she likes also. It is the bride's day, but when it comes down to it, the mother of the bride flowers are for mom. Find out what her favorite flowers, colors and styles are. If she likes something sweet and simple, an overly done exotic corsage is not going to send the same message as a baby pink rose with baby's breath.

Budget

Even though many individuals do not like to think about the expense of flowers, the budget must be considered in picking flowers. Often times, the mom of the bride-to-be's flowers are forgotten when determining the wedding flower budget. Decide on an overall flower spending plan and then break it down individually for each set of flowers.

Mothers are unique people, and while no flowers ought to outshine the bride's, you can send your mother an unique thank you and show of appreciation with attractive wedding flowers just for her.
