Slide the stem through the buttonhole and boutonniere latch – With the flower facing outwards, insert the stem through the buttonhole and boutonniere latch. No pins needed! Arrange and secure the flower – Check the front of the lapel to assure that the stem isn't visible.
Making your own corsage is also great for customizing a particular color or look that you might want. Once I taught myself how to make a corsage and Boutonnière – I have never bought a store bought again. The corsage and Boutonnière I made below cost $6 dollars total – for both!
Traditionally, the male brings his date a corsage when he picks her up for prom or a homecoming dance, and the female brings the boutonniere. Of course, females can buy their own corsages, too. Or friends can purchase corsages or boutonnieres for each other if they're going in a group.
It's best to order your corsage at least a week before your prom night. Especially if you have a customized corsage, you'll want to give the florist plenty of time to make it. As for picking up the corsage, this will occur the day of prom since it a live flower arrangement and you want it to be fresh.
Bangles, beads, multiple strands of rhinestones, fancy cuff bracelets in silver, gold or any wire creation imaginable have replaced the cheapy wristlets of corsages past. Slap bracelets are also used as a base, easily painted or sprayed with glitter to match an overall look.
