Are homecoming mums just for seniors?


Let’s settle this once and for all y’all

When someone hears "homecoming mum", most people picture a senior walking proudly through the halls, bells jingling, boa blowing in the breeze, carrying three feet of sparkle and school pride.


But if you think only seniors get to wear mums...

Bless it- you've been misinformed.

Let's break it down:

Homecoming mums aren't just for seniors.

they're for anyone who wants to celebrate in full-blown, ribbon-wrapped style.


Who Can Wear a Homecoming Mum?

Simple answer?

Everyone.

From Pre-K cheer cuties to junior varsity football players, and yes-even college students - anyone participating in homecoming events can wear a mum or garter.

Here at Sassy Southern Designer, we design for:

  • Littles in pee-wee cheer & football (check out our Belle & Beau Mini Collection)

  • Elementary & middle school students (our Keepsake Line is perfect for this stage)

  • Freshmen, sophomores, & juniors who are building their own homecoming memories

  • Seniors, who usually go all out with our Luxe or Heirloom styles


So Why Do Seniors Get the Big Mums?

Seniors tend to go bigger, bolder, and more customized - often with larger mums, extra tiers, specialty colors, monograms, and every sparkle imaginable It's a right-of-passage moment, for sure. But that doesn't mean younger students have to misso ut on the fun.


In fact, a lot of students grow up through the mum tradition - starting with minis and leveling up each year. It's a whole glow-up, and we are so here for it!


What Style is Right for You?

We offer design levels and lines that cater to every age, size and budget.

Here's a quick cheat sheet:

  • The Belle & The Beau(Mini Mums & Garters): Small in size. Big on charm. Perfect for younger students or those who want a fun, lightweight style.

  • The Keepsake Line (Junior length mums): Sweet, simple, and made to be treasured. For those who have outgrown minis but not quite ready for the full size.

  • The Classic & Signature (Mid-Tier): Custom braids, name ribbons, boas & bling. Timeless options with just enough sass to stand out.

  • The Heirloom & The Legend (Elite & Statement): All the glam, All the drama. Senior-worthy styles with serios wow factor-also great for upperclassment going all out.


The Bottom Line?

Homecoming isn't about what grade you're in.

It's about showing up, showing spirit, and making a memory that sticks.


You don't have to be a senior to wear a mum-

but you do need a little sass, a lot of spirit, and a love for sparkle.

Lucky for you, we've got all of that covered!
