Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Boutonniere?
Boutonnières are floral decorations worn on the lapel to accessorize their suit or tuxedo look for a formal event like a homecoming, prom, or wedding.
How to put on a Boutonniere?
To wear a boutonniere, follow these simple steps:
1. Hold the boutonniere by the stem, careful not to crush the blooms. Position the boutonniere with blooms pointing up on the left lapel of the jacket, ideally above the heart. Ensure the flowers face outward and are angled slightly to follow the line of the lapel.
2. Pinning: Insert a pin through the fabric and the thickest part of the flower stem from behind the lapel, angling slightly upward. Push the pin back through the lapel to secure it tightly. For extra hold, you may use a second pin in the same manner.
For a polished look, the boutonniere should sit naturally and not droop.
What is a Corsage?
A corsage is a small floral arrangement typically worn around the wrist or pinned to clothing, commonly given for special occasions like proms, weddings, and other formal events. Traditionally worn by women, corsages often feature flowers in colors that complement the wearer’s attire. Corsages add an elegant, personal touch to any outfit.
How to wear a Corsage?
A corsage can be worn on the wrist or pinned to the left side of a dress or blouse, ideally above the heart. If wearing a wrist corsage, place it on the non-dominant hand for comfort and ease. Pin-on corsages should be securely attached to avoid movement while being worn.
What is the purpose of Corsages?
Corsages are traditional decorations worn as a symbol of affection or celebration. They are traditionally given for special events like proms, weddings, and other formal events and signify appreciation and thoughtfulness from the giver. Corsages add a decorative touch that complements the outfit and highlights the wearer’s significance.
Which flower varieties are used in corsages and boutonnieres?
Roses are a classic staple for both corsages and boutonnieres. They are perfect for more formal occasions and events. If you're looking to add a tropical touch to your ensemble, you may opt for green cymbidium orchids or purple dendrobium orchids. Modern corsage and boutonniere pairs may even feature succulents.
What is a nosegay, posy, or tussie-mussie?
Nosegays, posies, and tussie-mussies are small, handheld bouquets, typically filled with a mix of fragrant flowers and herbs used for a variety of occasions. The terms are often used interchangeably, but they carry slight distinctions. A nosegay usually has a round, compact shape with a fragrant focus, while a posy is a small, casual bouquet, often given as a friendly gesture or worn as a lapel decoration. A tussie-mussie combines flowers and herbs with symbolic meanings, traditionally arranged to convey messages, making it a “talking bouquet” of sorts.
Smaller versions of nosegays, sometimes called mini-posies, can be crafted into elegant corsages or boutonnieres. These tiny bundles of blooms bring a classic touch to formal wear and are a lovely alternative to traditional floral designs.
