    Learn More About Wedding Corsages

    A wedding corsage is an accessory featuring a small bundle of flowers that is worn on the wrist or pinned to the lapel. A corsage adds a touch of elegance and formal flair to a wedding outfit.

    Women in the wedding party often wear corsages, including the mothers, grandmothers, and sisters of the bride and groom, as well as bridesmaids and flower girls. Others involved in the wedding ceremony, such as the officiant, may wear one as well. However, there is no strict rule—modern weddings don’t always stick to this tradition.

    Corsages are typically worn on the left side, but it’s a matter of personal preference. Since the majority of people are right-handed, it’s more convenient to wear wrist corsages for weddings on the left.

    Designers on Etsy craft unique corsages for weddings out of a variety of materials. Choose corsages that echo the bridal bouquet or incorporate the wedding colors. You can also coordinate your wedding corsages and boutonnieres. Look for boutonnieres made from similar materials and colors, or work with an artisan on Etsy who sells corsage and boutonniere sets. Consider some of these popular options:


    • Silk corsage: One of the most popular materials used in making corsages is silk flowers. They are made to look remarkably realistic and are available in an array of colors and sizes. These silky florals are often paired with greenery or other natural elements to create a visionary piece for your wrist.
    • Ribbon corsage: This versatile material can be crafted into complex bows and designs like roses, and is often combined with other features like pearls or crystals for added luxe appeal.
    • Natural corsage: Many corsages are created with dried flowers, succulents, and foliage. These beauties often have a bohemian or rustic feel and are a stunning way to incorporate nature into the ceremony. Look for corsages made with sprigs of lavender, eucalyptus, or baby’s breath.
    • Alternative corsage: For a truly one-of-a-kind accessory, look for corsages made from materials like feathers, beads, or paper flowers. Origami flowers made from a sheet of your favorite music or book turns a corsage into an artistic piece that adds playful personality to your wedding look.
