Remember how much I swooned over this?
Well, I wanted to get wrist corsages for the moms, but then I thought… what about Grandmas? And what about FSIL Socks? Suddenly, going from 2 wrist corsages at $54 each to 6 wrist corsages at $54 each was out of budget. So who did I turn to?
Our own Mrs. Poodle! I watched her craft her way through her own wedding in awe and contacted her through her Etsy shop, How Joyful. I put in a custom order for something similar to what I fell in love with on Emersonmade, and Mrs. Poodle put her own spin on the corsages and I LOVED them! In no time at all, Mrs. Poodle emailed me and told me they were finished! A couple of days later and they were on my doorstep.
Ready to see them?
Each wrist corsage came wrapped up safe and sound in tissue paper, and there was a cute card enclosed from Poodle!
Ahhh! They were absolutely PERFECT! I couldn’t get over the perfection that was these corsages! I needed to model it, but was having trouble tying it on myself. It was the middle of the day since I had gone home for lunch to discover these on my doorstep, so what else could I do but bring them into work and have my lovely coworkers model them for me?
Looking beautiful, ladies!
I love, love, LOVE them and I think they’ll look perfect for the moms, grandmas and FSIL Socks. Poodle was wonderful to work with and she’ll probably see a few more custom orders pop up from me—I love her work!
The little cream poofs are shedding a bit, so I’m trying to think of what I might be able to spray them with in order to keep the shedding to a minimum…some sort of shellac? I’ll have to ask Poodle before I do that. Do you have any ideas to get them to stop shedding?
How are you recognizing the special women in your life on your wedding day? Wrist corsage, little bouquets, a pin corsage, or something completely different?
Those are awesome! Way to go, Poodle. 
As for the shedding, maybe something like this Fray Check stuff?

I’m not planning on having bridesmaids, but I did want a little something to designate those special ladies in my life. I’m thinking a flower for their hair, just attached with floral tape to a bobby pin. I need to develop this a bit further. Perhaps even different colors/flowers to signify how we’re connected (i.e.- give my sorority sisters my sorority’s flower for their hair.) and then probably something wrist corsage-y for the FMIL and my Momma. Perhaps something like this. These are lovely!
Very cute-and so much more practical than flower corsages since they’ll never wilt!
Love! you might be able to dilute fray check slightly and spray with a small spray bottle- do test first of course… don’t want to ruin these beauties!
