When shopping for corsages and boutonnieres, consider the occasion, the wearer, and the style. Match the flowers to the outfit and choose between silk or fresh flowers, ribbon or no ribbon, and single or multiple flowers.

When shopping for flowers, there are always a few things to keep in mind to make the perfect impression. Different elements will need to be considered if the flowers are part of a bouquet than if the flowers are for corsages and boutonnieres. There are several important things to consider when shopping for corsages and boutonnieres.

Most people would agree that the most important factor to consider before purchasing corsages or boutonnieres is the occasion on which the flowers will be worn. Weddings will need a different selection of flowers than proms, and both types of flowers would be inappropriate for a funeral. For example, red roses would look beautiful in a corsage bracelet or prom boutonniere, but you might want to go with white roses for a funeral or other sad occasion.

In general, corsages and boutonnieres are created to match a person’s outfit. At a dance, a couple’s flowers must match, or at least not clash. Although the flowers in prom corsages and boutonnieres generally match the clothing, they do not have to be the same color. A girl may choose to wear a black dress, and her date a black and white tuxedo. In that case, any color of flowers would be appropriate.

After considering the type of occasion and the clothing being worn, it is important to think of the wearer before ordering any corsages or boutonnieres. Whether the occasion is a dance, a wedding, or a funeral, the wearer must be considered. Often a person’s favorite flower can be incorporated into the piece.

Next, consider the style. Corsages come in two main styles: a bracelet and a pin version. Both versions are appropriate for most occasions; however, if a woman wears a strapless gown, a bracelet will always be better than a pin in the corsage. Styling a buttonhole is easier than a corsage. It only comes in a basic style, and it suits almost all of its users.

The last thing to consider when shopping for corsages and boutonnieres is looking. This is the best time to choose between silk and fresh flowers, ribbon or no ribbon, and baby’s breath or breathless. You can also decide to contemplate when you want a single flower or multiple flowers. Just imagine how you want it to look and go from there. As long as the corsage matches the woman’s dress or clothing, and the buttonhole matches the man’s tie, everything will work out perfectly.
