What is a homecoming mum?

A Texas tradition since the 1930s. What started as a real chrysanthemum corsage is now a keepsake: silk flowers, cascading ribbons, bells, glitter letters and trinkets that tell the story of one student's year.

Mums are for her

Worn with a comfortable neck holder (pin backing available upon request). Sizes run from a single flower up to giant triple senior mums with floor-length streamers.

Garters are for him

Worn on the upper arm, built in the same colors and ribbons so couples match. Single or double, with the same braids, bells and name ribbon.

Sizes & pricing

Every regular mum includes 3 cut-outs: the name, school mascot and “HOCO 2026” or “Homecoming.” Upgrade to the deluxe package for 5 cut-outs total. Additional cut-outs are $5/ea, and every add-on is quoted before you pay a cent.

Care & wearing

  • Keep it dry. If ribbons wrinkle, hold a steamer 8 inches away — never iron.
  • Every mum comes with a comfortable neck holder for easy wearing. Pin backing is available upon request.
  • Check your school's rules — some campuses limit bells, lights or mum size in hallways.
  • After homecoming, hang it in a closet or trim a keepsake section for a shadow box.
