The biggest difference between categories is the size and the items included.
Our Classic Homecoming Mums and Garters are a traditional, simpler, elegant but more economical option. They are beautiful the way they are and come with many great options to add as well. Our classic mums have more items and design to them than most other mum makers "deluxe" versions and definitely beat a craft store mum any day! Melz Mumz goal was to offer beautiful mums and garters for every budget without sacrificing quality!
The Deluxe Homecoming Mums and Garters are more traditional style but with tons of extra items included. These have more braids, trinkets, bells and specialty ribbons and are sure to amaze anyone. They are rather substantial in size and are a perfect option for a cherishable keepsake. These already have lots of stuff on them but offer some great options without breaking the bank! A deluxe would NEVER disappoint anyone and you will be shocked at how much amazing you get for your money! You won't find ANYTHING this amazing for the money ANYWHERE!! The Deluxe category is our most popular. Look at our photo album to see how beautiful detailed our deluxe category is!
The MEGA Homecoming Mum and Garter category speaks for itself. MEGAs are your over the top extravagant award winning mums. For lack of better words they are simply just WOW!! They have so many handmade and custom items you won't see anywhere else. MEGAs are truly impressive in size and design and they ALWAYS get lots of attention when on display. You won't find ANYTHING like these amazing mums ANYWHERE ELSE! If you want something out of this world - then that is a MEGA!

You need to order your mum or garter at least 14 days (TWO WEEKS) before your Homecoming date. We take pride in our work, and it takes time to create our amazing products. We do accept RUSH requests based on availability. We also have pre-made models that can be quickly customized, but they sell out fast! Use the online contact form to inquire. ORDER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE because we fill up quickly and may have to stop taking orders once we're full.
