What is a corsage?
A corsage is a small bouquet of flowers worn by a woman on her prom date’s lapel. The flowers are usually roses, but can be any type of flower, and are usually white or pastel-colored. Corsages can be bought at most florists, and range in price depending on the type of flower and the number of flowers used.
How to pick the right corsage
There are many factors to consider when choosing a corsage for prom. The color of your dress, the style of your gown, and the theme of the prom all play a role in what type of corsage you should choose. If you’re not sure where to start, read on for some tips on how to pick the right corsage for prom.
Corsage colors
While you might be drawn to a certain color, it’s important that you also consider the colors of the dress and tuxedo. If the colors clash, it will take away from the overall look.
The most common colors for corsages are white and red. White is a classic choice that works well with any color dress or tuxedo. Red is a bolder choice that can add a pop of color to your outfit. If you’re looking for something different, you can also choose from a variety of other colors, including pink, purple, and yellow.
Once you’ve selected the color of the flowers, you’ll also need to choose the style of the corsage. The three most common styles are wrist corsages, pin-on corsages, and clip-on corsages.
Wrist corsages are the most popular type of corsage because they are easy to wear and don’t require any assistance to put on. Pin-on corsages are another popular option because they can be worn with or without a wristlet. Clip-on corsages are a good choice if you’re looking for something that is easy to put on and take off.
Corsage styles
There are many different styles of corsages, and picking the right one comes down to personal preference as well as matching the corsage to the dress. Here are some of the most common corsage styles:
-Wristlet: This is the most popular style of corsage, and it is worn on the wrist like a bracelet. Wristlets are easy to wear and don’t get in the way, making them a good choice for dancing.
-Pin-on: A pin-on corsage is worn like a boutonniere, on the lapel of the jacket or dress. Pin-on corsages are less common than wristlets, but they can be a good choice if you’re worried about your wristlet getting in the way while you dance.
-Nosegay: A nosegay is a small, round bouquet that can be worn on the wrist or pinned to your clothes. Nosegays are not as common as other types of corsages, but they can be a good choice if you want a smaller corsage that won’t get in the way.
How to wear a corsage
Corsages are a tradition for many high school proms. If you’re new to the idea of corsages, or have never worn one before, you might be wondering how they work. Do you pin them on? Do they go over your wrist? Do you need help putting them on? We’re here to help!
Wrist corsages
Wrist corsages are the most popular type of corsage, and they’re also relatively easy to put on. The first thing you’ll need to do is find a comfortable spot on your wrist to attach the corsage. If the base of the corsage is too big, you can always trim it down a bit.
Once you’ve found a good spot, use either tape or a small dab of glue to attach the corsage to your wrist. Be careful not to use too much glue, as it can be difficult to remove later. If you’re using tape, make sure it’s not too sticky so it doesn’t pull off any skin when you remove it.
Finally, add any finishing touches like ribbons or jewels, and you’re all set!
Pin-on corsages
A pin-on corsage is perhaps the most popular and common type of corsage, as it is easy to make and wear. All you need is a small bouquet of flowers, a few yards of ribbon, and a pin.
To make a pin-on corsage, start by cutting a length of ribbon and tying it around the base of the bouquet. Then, take the ribbon ends and tie them together to form a loop. Next, put the loop over your wrist and adjust it to fit snugly but comfortably. Finally, use the pin to fasten the corsage in place on your clothing.

Supplies needed
You will need the following supplies:
-1/2 yard of fabric
-Scissors
-Ruler or measuring tape
-Pins
-Safety pin
-Stapler
-Corsage ribbon
Choose a ribbon that compliments the dress. For example, if the dress is black, you might want to use a black and white striped ribbon. If the dress is red, you might want to use a red satin ribbon.
Cut a strip of fabric that is 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Fold the strip in half lengthwise so that it is now 6 inches long and 2 inches wide. Pin the fabric together along the long side. Stitch along the long side with a sewing machine, using a straight stitch set at about 1/4 inch. Alternatively, you can hand stitch along the long side using a slip stitch.
Remove the pins and turn the fabric tube right side out. You should now have a tube of fabric that is 6 inches long and 2 inches wide. Press the fabric tube with an iron set on low heat, making sure not to iron over the stitches. Center one end of the corsage ribbon on one end of the fabric tube and staple in place. Repeat on the other end.
Step-by-step instructions
Here are the basic steps for making a corsage:
1. Start with a base of greenery. Use ferns, baby’s breath, or other greenery to create a base for your corsage.
2. Add accent flowers. Choose one or two accent flowers to add color and interest to your corsage. Roses are a classic choice, but you can also use carnations, daisies, or any other type of flower.
3. Finish with a ribbon. Use a ribbon to tie everything together and create a loop for attaching the corsage to your wrist.
4. Put it all together and enjoy! Once you’ve assembled your corsage, it’s time to enjoy your prom night!
