What Size Homecoming Mum is Right For Each Grade?

Here's a simple guideline:

Freshman: Junior, Classic or Signature

Sophomore: Classic, Signature, or Legend

Junior: Signature, Legacy, or Legend

But here's the truth.

There is no rule.

Some freshen go big.

Some seniors keep it simple.

The right size depends on:

• Budget

• Personality

• Comfort

• School culture

How Big Is Too Big?

In Texas?

That's almost not a thing.

But comfort matters. If a student is petite or doesn't love heavy designs, going up multiple tiers may not be ideal.

It's always better to choose a size that feels exciting, not overwhelming.

Why Size Impacts Price

Many parents are surprised when larger Texas homecoming mums cost more.

Size affects:

• Number of flowers

• Ribbon yardage

• Braid detail

• Labor time

• Custom elements

A larger mum requires significantly more materials and hours of labor to complete.
