Three Tips to Selecting Out the Best Exquisite Flowers for Corsages
When we think of a corsage we think instantly of prom. When in fact corsages are used in many wonderful occasions. For example, Mother’s Day it is time-honored tradition to give your mother a beautiful wrist corsage. There is special meaning behind it including the color of flower that is used.
The traditional flower is an orchid, but the type of flower is much less important these days than the color of the flower. Just to give you an idea if your mother wears a white flower, it indicates her mother is deceased. If she wears a red or pink flower, it indicates her mother is still alive. It is important to get those colors right. Confusing them could end up with your mother answering uncomfortable questions from friends.

Wrist corsages are also worn for weddings, graduations, prom and other special occasions. They are worn to honor people. At a baby shower, the mother- to-be is honored with a corsage that is usually pink or blue for the baby’s gender or both if the gender is not known.
For a wedding a common practice, though, holds that parents and grandparents all wear one. Additionally, the groom, groomsman, ushers, bride, and bridesmaids all wear either a wrist corsage or a boutonniere. It is possible you may want to include the ring bearer as well. The groom’s parents are normally responsible for paying for them. Cost can vary depending on the floral you choose to match the wedding style.
Tip number one is carefully choosing the colors and style of the corsages depending on the occasion. We know from Mother’s Day choosing the right flower color is a symbol of if her mother is deceased or not and for a baby shower for the mom to be. It is also really important to match the type and color of the flowers with your dress color and its style.
Tip number two is knowing when to order your corsage for the special event. We recommend to set up an appointment at least a week before if not two depending on the event and how many corsages and boutonnieres will be needed. Tell your florist about the event and the desirable longevity of the flowers. Some of the flowers despite their beauty may not last long enough for the whole of event.
Tip number three is the quality of flowers used. Having exquisite flowers that are fresh and unique can bring out the beauty in the wrist corsage for a wedding, prom, Mother’s Day, baby showers and any event.
