Though the formal corsage is sometimes thought to be out of vogue, there are some occasions when a simple corsage at the wrist is the perfect addition to your ensemble. The arrangements prove a huge complement to a ordinary ensemble for a special dance. Following a few easy steps you can also create your own corsage. You will only need the following:
- Two medium-sized flowers (same color)
- Two stems of leaves
- Two or three small flowers to enhance the larger flowers
- Florist’s tape and wire
- Pair of scissors or garden snippers
- Rubber band
Select the flowers. There are many classic choices for corsages as well as more contemporary choices. Bold bright colors with flower patterns demonstrate confidence and will enhance your wardrobe options.
To liven up your daily wear, consider incorporating daisy’s or daffodils.
Set the flowers. Snip the stems to three inches long. This length allows you to assemble the floral arrangement more easily, although you may need to trim the stems later. Bind the flowers with tape after you have sorted them into groups. You will want to make certain that the blooms will be facing the way opposite of your wrist, do this by holding the stems together. When you have bunched the stems together, use the floral tape to wrap and hold them all.
The next step is to add the smaller flowers. Flowers that are added as filler add structure to your design. In order to cover the stems place 1 flower between the 2 flowers. Use tape to make the stems secure. Just add some of the leaves. In order to secure the leaves to the corsage, tape the right and left side or the top and bottom of the blooms. The flowers will almost have a bouquet appearance because of the delicate leaves that frame them.
If you use your wrist as a guideline, cut the elastic to the proper length. Wrap the elastic around your wrist, and then cut one inch over the needed length for proper overlap of the elastic. In order to wear the corsage on the wrist you will need to fasten an elastic band to it. For attaching the elastic to the back of the flower stems, use the floral wire or tape. You should hide the elastic beneath the flowers while wearing a corsage.
Put the corsage on. This wrist nosegay will go with any formal outfit. You can take it for a special event or even for a night on the town.
Creating a corsage permits you to generate an original pattern by using your preferred flowers. With some simple materials from your florist or craft store, you can create the corsages you dream of. All you r friends will admire the corsage that you create.
