Make Prom Night Bloom – Stunning Corsages from Melanie’s Florist 🌸

🌸 How to Wear a Corsage on Prom Night – A Prom Guide from Melanie’s Florist

Prom night is one of the most exciting and memorable events of the school year. It’s a time to dress up, take photos, and make memories that last a lifetime. And what better way to add a touch of elegance to the evening than with a beautiful corsage?

At Melanie’s Florist, we specialise in creating stunning, handmade corsages designed to complement every prom look—from classic to modern. Whether you're a student or a parent helping your teen get ready, here’s everything you need to know about giving, wearing, and enjoying this timeless floral tradition.

💐 What Is a Corsage?

A corsage is a small floral arrangement, typically worn by women at formal events. It can be made with fresh roses, spray carnations, orchids, or other seasonal blooms, accented with ribbons, pearls, or rhinestones to match the dress and style of the evening.

Corsages are usually worn on the wrist, but some styles can also be pinned onto a dress or worn as a floral ring or clutch accent.

🎁 When and How to Present a Corsage

The best time to give your date her corsage is when you first meet her for the evening—often right before heading out or taking photos.

Gently present the box and say something like, “I picked this for you—may I help you put it on?” It’s a small gesture that adds a personal and charming touch to your prom night.

✨ Wrist Corsages – Our Most Popular Style

At Melanie’s Florist, most of our prom corsages are designed to be worn on the wrist using either a stylish elastic band or a keepsake bracelet.

Tips:

• Traditionally worn on the left wrist, but always ask what’s most comfortable for your date.
• Carefully slide the corsage over her hand and gently adjust the flowers so they sit neatly on top of the wrist.

📌 Pin-On Corsages – A Classic Choice

Some corsages are made to be pinned onto the bodice of a dress. These are slightly more formal and often used for evening gowns or strapless styles.

How to Pin a Corsage:

1. Hold the corsage against the dress just below the collarbone.
2. Lift the fabric slightly away from the skin.
3. Use a corsage pin to secure the stem from the back of the fabric through to the front.
4. Be sure to pin through the thickest part of the stem and adjust so it sits upright and balanced.
