How To Make A Wedding Corsage

Believe it or not, it's actually quite easy to make a wedding corsage for your wedding party.

They look beautiful on the key people in the wedding party, mainly your parents, allowing them to stand out from everyone else within the main party.

A corsage is also a great alternative to a bridesmaid bouquet. It'll ensure your attendants have their hands free to do what you need them to do, rather than them worrying about where they should put their bouquet! Best of all though, a wedding corsage is a much cheaper option than a bouquet.

You can make a corsage a day in advance. To keep the flowers fresh, make sure you keep them flowers sprayed with water and if possible, find some fridge space for them – cooler temperatures will stop the flowers from wilting.

In the video below, the corsage is made using orchids and ivy leaves, but you could use different flowers if you want. To turn this into a wrist corsage you'd need to secure some ribbon to it so it can be tied around the wrist. If you're making a wrist corsage, then choose flatter flowers that will sit closer to the skin to stop them from being bashed and bruised.

To make this wedding corsage, the following items were used:

• 2 phalaenopsis orchids that are different sizes
• 5 berried ivy leaves
• 3 pieces of bear grass
• scissors
• stub wire
• silver rose wire
• floristry tape
• 1 pearl headed pin
