buttonholes & corsages
buttonholes
Worn on the left side, a buttonhole usually consists of a single bloom wired together with foliage. The groom's flower is often different to the others; he compliments the bride's bouquet flowers, and the groomsmen compliment the bridesmaid's posies.
Not just for the bridal party; use a classy buttonhole to help your guests distinguish father's of the bride and groom, car park attendants and ushers, grandpa's, brothers, and any other important men in your life.

Worn on the right side, with stems pointing down (the way flowers grow) corsages are an important part of the mother of the bride and groom's outfits. Unlike buttonholes, which are chosen to match the existing theme, corsages are usually chosen to match the outfit of the wearer.
A typical corsage consists of 3 main blooms, wired together with foliage, smaller flowers and loops of silk ribbon, and is held onto the wearer's top with a pearl pin. However if the material is not strong enough or your mum doesn't want a pin in her expensive dress, don't despair; her corsage can also be attached using super-strong corsage magnets.
Alternatives to a traditional corsage include flower bracelets, hair flowers, handbag corsage, and decorations can include Swarovski crystals, diamantees or pearls to match jewelery; artistic wire, beads ... The list goes on!
