Corsages And Boutonnieres For Your Lovely Wedding

"Plenty of corsages and boutonnieres to choose from"

Apart from the bridal bouquet and wedding centrepieces, you need corsages and boutonnieres on your wedding day. They are not for you but for your family members.

Corsages are usually worn by your sisters, mother and grandmother. They can be worn in 3 different styles : pinned to the dress, pinned to the purse or worn at the wrist.

The type of corsages depends on how you wear them.

Pin corsage : you pin it to your clothes, usually near the shoulder.

Wrist corsage : you wear it at the wrist. Usually for proms, but you can also wear them at weddings.

Clutch corsage : You pin the corsage on your purse or clutch bag.

The boutonniere is worn by your husband-to-be, his father and his grandfather.

The groom's boutonnieres can be different from the others to signify that he is the man of the day. At the same time, make sure also that it matches the bride's bridal bouquet.

Ready to get one? Let's look at how to choose them :

Firstly, decide what flower you want for your bridal bouquet. If your wedding bouquet is made of roses, the corsages should be of roses,too. They should be of the same flower. Also remember, the colour must match,too.

They should be light. If they are heavy, the flowers will fall and won't look nice.

They can be of fresh flowers or silk flowers. For more durability, silk flower is better. The fabric can withstand the pin.

These are basically some tips on choosing your corsages and boutonnieres.
