Appropriate corsage for 8th grader?

[FSUZeta]

alum was making a joke and as the mother of a son, i could appreciate it!

kids today aren't wearing corsages as much. when my son was in 10th grade i ordered a wrist corsage for his homecoming dance date. she ended up being the only girl with a corsage, and my son forbade me from ordering another corsage ever! you may want to check with some of the other mothers to see what they are doing.

ohsoveryladylike, both corsages are just beautiful! i especially like the one paired with the pearls. are you a floral designer or is this just a hobby?

Hobby. All my life I loved crafts, but after my heart transplant I found myself with LOTS free time to learn new painting, wood/glass cutting techniques. I just like pretty things.

I like the one with the ribbon. Mainly because you can tie it however tight it needs to be. As a small wristed woman, this is one of my peeves (that and boyfriends who didn't realize how small your wrist was, grr.) Be very careful if you ordered one from the florist - the elastic bracelet might be huge for her and trust me, it's a pain trying to keep it on all night. You might be better w/ a pin on corsage. Of course, if she has big meaty wrists, this is a moot point.

Oh, and I have to say that this scenario reminds me of the My Three Sons episode where Ernie had one date, then two dates, then none, then one, then two, then none. LOL
