How to Pick the Perfect Corsage and Boutonniere Flowers for Your Wedding

When preparing for a wedding, there are several items that you need to cross out on your checklist. The list can include anything and everything from choosing the perfect wedding dress and food menu to the venue and entertainment. But there is another star of every wedding that any soon-to-be-married couple cannot forget - the wedding flower arrangements. Beyond the typical floral bouquets and flower arrangements, couples may want to take their weddings up a notch with minor floral details like corsages and boutonnieres. Although these mini floral bouquets are small, they are important aspects of a groom’s and bride’s wedding attire. As such, choosing the perfect corsage and boutonniere flowers for you and your entourage requires much consideration. How do you pick the pieces that will make the best fashion statement? The Interior Collections has put together a list of factors to consider to help you in your journey of picking the right wedding flowers for your special day. Now you don’t have to worry about these small details because we have got you covered!  

What Are Corsages & Wedding Boutonnieres?

Corsages are so-called personal flowers at a wedding that draw attention to and honor the person wearing them. The bride's mother, groom's mother, and any female attendees at the wedding ceremony wear a corsage on their wrists or pinned to their attire. While corsages are worn by females, boutonnieres are the alternative worn by the men participating in the ceremony. Customary boutonniere wearers include the groom, groomsmen, the bride and groom’s father, ring bearers, and even ushers.

Although these small fresh flower details are often worn at weddings, there can be other special occasions that would make it meaningful to wear like debuts and prom.

1. Choose the Perfect Corsages and Boutonnieres Colour Theme

Deciding on the colour theme of a wedding is one of the key decisions every couple will have to make when planning their wedding. Once a colour theme has been decided, every other element such as the table setting, the cake, and more have to be picked based on the chosen colour scheme. The same applies to wedding flowers. The ultimate goal is to choose wedding flowers that seamlessly blend in with the venue and the rest of the decoration. 

When it comes to choosing the most complimentary corsages and boutonnieres, it is best to reference the bridal bouquet and the colour of the wedding dress. For example, if bridal bouquets feature soft hues like whites and pinks as seen in our Blush bouquet, opting for corsages of a similar tone will ensure that the colours do not clash. This makes options like the White Rose Corsage the ultimate choice - add to that the fact that most wedding dresses are traditionally white, and corsages like these will go well with the overall look. Colour theory and cohesion can also be applied when selecting boutonnieres for the groom. Colour coordinate with the bride’s bouquet and ensure that the florals utilised in the arrangement look great against the lapel. 

2. Matching the Design of the Corsage with the Boutonniere Flowers 

Besides the colour scheme, the design for the corsage and boutonniere should match your fresh flower bridal bouquet. With a vast array of wedding flower packages available in Singapore, each is bound to offer wedding flower arrangements that pique your interest for various reasons. As much as possible, try to have the bride and groom’s corsage and boutonniere match in design. From the type of flower used to the number of florals leveraged to make the arrangement, ensure consistency. To simplify things, you could even have the bride and groom use matching pieces to maintain the highest level of consistency.

3. Selecting the Right Accessories to Match the Wedding Theme

Adding little details to your selected corsages is equally significant. Add-ons are like highlights to your wedding corsages, making your flower choices even more vivid and visible. Consider adding some ribbons, decorative pearls, jewels, and bows, to your corsages and boutonnieres to make them even more elegant and coordinated with the theme.
