Corsages and boutonnieres are very easy to make and they are perfect for special occasions like weddings, proms or other formal gatherings. They add an elegant touch to any formal outfit. To make the corsages or boutonnieres first pick a favorite medium sized flower like roses or carnations. Get some greenery and some filler flowers like baby's breath or statice and use them as the background for your main flower. Cut your flower's stem approximately 3 inches long. Create a bed with your greenery and your filler flowers and top them with your main flower. Greenery should not be much longer than your main flower and should just be visible from sides. When you think they look good just wrap all the stems together with floral tape to secure everything altogether. Tie a little bow at the bottom if you like. 1/4 inch ribbons are the best for corsages and boutonnieres. Because they don't have a water source your corsages won't last more than a day. Keep them cool and moist until ready to use. This is the very basic technique to make them but there are several other techniques. I will add some of the pictures of the corsages, boutonnieres and a couple of wristlets that I made. Some of these require some wiring or glueing. I will write about these techniques in my later posts. Meanwhile please enjoy the pictures.
