To give yours a modern look, choose a flower that is "big and elegant," like a gardenia or a flat garden rose, and opt for a ribbon base over an elastic band. Get the Wrist Corsage How-To 02 of 12 Ribbon Flower Corsage Give your bridesmaids a fashionable floral accessory that will look fresh long after the wedding day: these wrist corsages made with silk ribbon flowers. They can be tied around a ponytail or worn as brooches—and are so easy to make: Simply Tie elastic ribbon around your wrist in a big bow, then pin (or sew) the bloom to the knot. 03 of 12 Ruffly Corsage This sweet flower-girl accessory is a wonderful option for an attendant who is too young to sprinkle petals from a basket. We made the gathers in eyelet trim, then coiled them (securing them with a few stitches as we went) to create the layered "petals" of a lush bloom; a piece of eyelet trim secures it to the wrist. 04 of 12 Two-Minute Corsages Tuck a single blossom through a slit in a wide velvet ribbon to create an elegant wrist corsage for any special occasion. 05 of 12 Wrist Watch Corsage Kate Sears Elasticized ribbon, which comes in many styles and materials, ensures a snug and comfortable fit on this wrist watch corsage with a single bloom. 06 of 12 Guest Corsages A big-day DIY element that will surely impress everyone in attendance, these guest corsages are colorful, creative, and double as favors. Your loved ones will enjoy a fabric flower that can either be pinned to nearby wrist ribbons or attached to a lapel. 07 of 12 Crepe Paper Flower Corsage Flowers crafted from colorful tissue or crepe paper are graceful, inexpensive to make, and always in season. Attach them to a ribbon or elastic band to create a beautiful corsage. 08 of 12 Silk Flower Hair Band or Corsage Wende LLT. Webber Silk flowers never wilt or fade, which makes them a fitting memento of your wedding. Share these with your bridesmaids and have them wear them in their hair or on their wrists. 09 of 12 Blooming Ring Corsage Like a corsage, but for your finger, these fabric-flower bands will be a hit with your bridesmaids. Give them out at the shower or rehearsal dinner. 10 of 12 Fabric Corsage Orchard Cove Photography Using custom-printed silk from Spoonflower, Etsy vendor BackYardPrims made fabric wedding corsages for the women and boutonnières for the men at this event. When guests arrived at the ceremony, they selected their accessory from apothecary jars next to a calligraphed sign inviting guests to don a bit of whimsy. 11 of 12 Cymbidium Corsage Maura McEvoy Do nature one better: Turn the dainty blossoms of cymbidium orchids into big, dramatic blooms. The flowers come in festive colors—and even stripes and dots. Give them to mothers instead of traditional corsages. 12 of 12 Lace Corsage An organdy corsage looks beautiful with an added lace flower that was printed on heat transfer paper and then ironed onto the fabric.
