Southern Tradition: Mother’s Day Corsage

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Time was when no self-respecting southern mom would be in her Sunday best on

Mother’s Day without a corsage.  A red flower honored her mother if still living and a white flower honored the memory of her mother if she had passed on.  Nowadays corsages are thought of as a bit old-fashioned and matronly, but I think it’s a lovely tradition that’s ready for an update.

Find this “Posy Pin” for around $12 at Smith’s Variety in Mountain Brook Village.
