Gone are the days of awkward prom photos and plastic boxes containing your red rose wrist corsage. Flower wristlets are making a gorgeous comeback these days and this girl is loving it. I love the idea of doing something different with blooms on your big day – why not give your bridesmaids pretty wristlets to wear instead of carrying bouquets? You know the bouquets end up sitting on the table at the reception anyways – with the wristlet, the flowers can be enjoyed all evening!

The lovely (and super talented) Sarah True of True Event put together a DIY video for making your own wristlet – have a look!

So what do you think? Yay or nay to the modern take on the old school wrist corsage?

    I love these – we had these at a wedding two weekends ago and they fell apart really quickly so it’s good to see some hardy ones. I’ll be checking out this tutorial!

    aaah, love this! Can they please come back and stay? I love the idea of simplifying bridesmaids bouquets. You could even have them each make their own the day before…just in case you needed one more thing to add to your to do list;)

    Such a great new old idea. And calling them wristlets makes me want one even more. I might need to try my hand at this DIY…

    This is a fantastic idea!! Thank you so much for the video tutorial, I planned to make these for my wedding for the moms and the video gave me a couple more ideas.

    I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s
    both equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I
    stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.
