What exactly is a homecoming mum?
It's a Texas tradition — a handmade keepsake of ribbons, silk flowers, and sparkle in your school's colors, worn to celebrate homecoming. Girls wear the mum; guys wear the matching garter on their arm.
What's included in a package?
Every mum and garter package comes with its flower, a full ribbon skirt, specialty braids, a "Homecoming" ribbon, a brass bell, and a custom school charm chain in the theme of your choice. Bigger packages add name ribbons, "Senior" accents, rhinestone details, and monograms.
What's the school charm chain?
It's a little chain of themed charms that ties her mum to what she loves — pick one theme like Football, Cheer, Volleyball, Theatre, or Music. One is included with every package, and you can add more for $5 each in the designer.
When should I order?
As early as you can! Homecoming season fills up fast. To guarantee your mum for game day, please order by September 1st. After that, ask us about rush production.
Can you match my school's colors?
Always. Just tell us your school and colors when you build your mum, and we'll match them exactly.
What if a name is spelled a certain way?
We'll show you every name exactly as it will appear and ask you to confirm before we build. Please double-check carefully — once a personalized piece is made, the spelling is final.
How big should my mum be?
That's the fun part! See our Size guide — we've laid out every size with who it's best for.
Do you make garters for the guys?
We do. Order his garter right alongside her mum so the pair arrives together.
What about senior or custom mums?
Senior mums are full packages ($200–250) with the 7.5″ flower, "Senior" ribbon and accents, and all the trimmings — you can build one right in the designer. Want something completely one-of-a-kind? Choose Custom and we'll design it with you by appointment, from vision to final price.
How do I get my mum?
Local delivery or studio pickup — see Delivery & pickup for areas and timing.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Reach out as soon as possible. We can often adjust details before production begins, but once we've started building your personalized piece, it's final. See our refund policy.
