Corsages and Boutonnieres

Up

 

 

This fun and colorful boutonniere is created with a deep purple lisianthus blossom bound with apple green wire curls. We've used the same apple green wire to accent these green dendrobium orchids.
These are two very traditional corsages. The one on the left is a single Phalaenopsis orchid, with greens and a bow, and the one on the right is made from several white dendrobium orchid blossoms. These two boutonnieres co-ordinate with the corsages at the right. These classic styles are still very popular.
Shown is a single rose bout. and a clutch. The clutches of late are taking the place of shoulder corsages for mothers and grandmothers. They are basically the same size as a shoulder corsage, but rather than wear them, they are held in the fingers. Single white standard rose bout. and a small bout made from a tiny spray rose blossom. The smaller one is a great size to use  for the Ring Bearer.
Single rose boutonnieres and a single rose corsage. They are accented with red hypericum berries, we've wrapped the stems in chocolate satin ribbon. Here we have two contemporary mini calla lily bouts. The bride requested that we tint them black. We also added an accent stripe of red ribbon.
Alstroemeria is a hit in this wrist corsage. We can custom design your corsage in any colors, to co-ordinate with your gown. White spray roses, a touch of seeded eucalyptus and pittisporum on our new Icy Mint, gumdrop bracelet. Darling!
Here, Sabrina is showing off a beautiful wrist corsage of blue delphinium, a white dendrobium orchid and a white spray rose, accented with seeded eucalyptus and pitt. Here's a bright corsage. The bracelet is a great way to bring in the bright colors you need. Ask about the bracelet colors we have available. Call ahead with your color needs, then if you'd like, bring your dress in to compare.
This corsage is constructed a little differently, using a ribbon as a tie rather than using a bracelet. This works well, though sometimes may continue to come loose throughout the time it's worn. The flowers are a lovely green cymbidium orchid accented with green poms and kiwi vine.

 

The next three corsages/bouts were made for someone that needed something unusual for a luncheon. These are all made from parts and pieces of flowers, with assorted foliages, berries, etc. We have fun designing out of the box.
This one starts with white mini calla, backed by a Stargazer lily petal, wrapped in a leaf, stuffed with a liatris top, surrounded by a gladiola floret. Gladiola floret, with a gerbera daisy inside, topped by a hypericum berry, with a rolled variegated leaf
This is a lovely mixed flower boutonniere. This one was made for the Groom, from flowers taken from the Bride bouquet. I love the silver-gray-green of the Dusty Miller foliage. This is what we call a flower tattoo! We've built the "corsage" on a double-sided tape, so it will stay in place all evening. These are great if you have a sleeveless gown, or spaghetti straps, and would rather not have a wrist corsage. Lots of fun!
A very nice, traditional mixed flower shoulder corsage. We can make these to coordinate with any color scheme. This is an adorable headband! These have become sooo popular in the last few months. Speak with one of our designers and we will be
This is a great fascinator, made with a brooch nestled amonst the blossoms. If you have a sentimental piece of jewelry that you would like to include in any of our designs, just bring it in, and speak with one of our designers. We would love to make your flowers extra special for you. Another great headband, this one with pink curlicues! We have so much fun making all the wearable "art"
