Choosing the Perfect Homecoming Mum or Garter: Custom vs. Designer Series

We are very excited to introduce our brand new pre-made Deisgner Series HOCO mum & garter line for Homecoming 2024! While we love the ever increasing trend of ultra-custom homecoming mums, we also understand that ordering a homecoming mum or garter early does not work for everyone. We hope that this new line will allow us to offer more availabilty during the season as our custom order spots are taken. You can visit all our products in our Online Store. Below you will find more information on this new line as well as common ordering questions.



Pre-Made Homecoming Mums & Garters
Designer Series Homecoming Mums and Garters

We developed our Designer Series line for those needing a last minute, yet still custom homecoming mum or garter, those wanting a more streamlined ordering process and for those who just want us to make the design decisions and see the final (well, almost) product before ordering. In this line we will also offer some themed mums and garters for various activities. Below you will find more information on our new Designer Series line as well as some frequently asked questions. As always, feel free to contact us with any questions.


Please note, if you are ordering a Designer Series mum within 7 days of your homecoming date, please check our availabilty calender and check to see if Designer Series is still listed.


What is the Difference Between a Custom & Designer Series Homecoming Mum or Garter


The main difference is that these homecoming mums & garters were designed by us before the season and are ready to go and available closer to your homecoming week. They are made with the same materials, care, and customization you see in our custom series. As we move into the season and begin to have limited availability, our designer series mum and garters will remain available.

Since we have already completed the design process, some of the options you find in our custom series such as additional braids or other upgrade options may not be avaialable and will vary for each individual designer series mum. Of course, the same personalization will still be available such as name, sports, and school specific cutouts. The blank spaces you see on these finished mums and garters will be used to make each mum or garter speacial for the recipient.



We also developed our Designer Series for those who desire for us to make all the design decisions. You will also see custom activity and sports themes in our Designer Series and sometimes items you cannot get in our Custom Series. If you see a mum or gartr you love make sure to not wait as these are one of a kind and not replicated.


Is Pricing the Same?


For the most part, these mums and garters are the same package levels/pricing as our Custom Series. Each listing will give you the cooresponding Custom Series line along with the upgrades already added for that particular mum or garter during the design process. However, we will have some designs that deviate from our Custom Series packaging and are just unique and one of a kind! These mums or garters will be priced accordingly and comparable to the costs of our Custom Series. As well, if you find your dream mums in our Designer Series, you may sometimes find it is actually priced a little lower than if adding all the options on your own! Our gift to you for letting us have fun designing from scratch.


What Will Be Added?


Each Designer Series mum or garter will be personalized by adding the following:


  • name and/or activity cutouts

  • the number of cutouts that coorespond with the level of package choosen

  • flower head designs if not already included (varies by design)

  • bows, bling etc (varies by design)

  • any upgrades you add on the individual Designer Series listing


The pictures you see of online will have blank spaces to add all of the above items. The final product will be similar to the pictures you see in our photo gallery and custom to each mum or garter.


What if I Need a Coordinating Mum or Garter

Coordinating Homecoming Mum and Garter

For the most part, we will offer coordinating mums or garters for our all of our Designer Series. However, since we work hard to make sure each mum or garter is unique at each school and also do not want coordinating mums and garters at the same school that do not go together, we will normally only list the mum.


When ordering a Designer Series mum or garter, please contact us if you wish to order the coordinating item if available for your school as well.


For the same reason, you may see a particular Designer Series mum is not available at your school. This is because a similar design/imprint ribbon has been taken at your school. This helps us ensure our clients have a unique and personal mum or garter for their school. If we receive a Designer Series order that is listed as not available for that school, we will refund this order. Thank you for understanding.


Have additional questions on our Designer Series?


We hope this will give you more information on ordering a Designer Series homecoming mum or garter. We are excited to offer this additional line and would welcome and feedback from you! If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us. As well, you can visit our online store to preview all our products.


Happy HOCO friends,

Rayanne & Sabrina
