Wrist corsages are mini-bouquets made from flowers that complement your ensemble at occasions such as proms, weddings, birthdays and dinners. Many women prefer to adorn their wrists with a corsage as opposed to holding a bouquet, so their hands are free. A wrist corsage can be made from a combination of real or silk flowers, mixed with decorative lace or trim for a stylish finish. Roses are typically used in these corsages as they are beautiful and available in a variety of colors to complement the color of the dress.
Instructions
- 1
Visit your local florist the evening before or the morning of the occasion to select roses that complement your dress. Select five rosebuds and two open blooms in your desired color. Also select some greenery such as baby's breath or ferns that act as fillers, structure the corsage and give it shape.
2Cut the stems of the two open blooms down to 2 inches with a sharp pair of scissors. Make sure the cuts are smooth and straight.
3Place both the stems diagonally over one another on a table so the blooms face opposite directions. Join the intersecting point with a length of floral tape to hold them together. Lower a rosebud or two between the open blooms to cover the visible stems, and secure with tape.
4Add the remaining rosebuds around the arrangement to give it color and a fuller look. Also place foliage all around the blooms or on any two sides to frame the mini-bouquet while holding the arrangement firmly. The greenery provides a sharp contrast against the colorful blooms, making the corsage even more attractive.
5Attach the stems of the flowers and foliage with tape. Make sure you wind several lengths to hold them properly and prevent them from shifting their positions.
6Place your wide ribbon or elastic band on a table in front of you. Measure your wrist and cut the band to size accordingly with a sharp pair of scissors, allowing for a -inch overlap at the ends. Sew the ends together with a sewing machine or needle and thread.
7Lower the flower arrangement on the band to cover it completely. Loop thread over the stems to stitch the arrangement in place. Make sure each stitch is secure; otherwise, reinforce to prevent it from coming loose from the band.
