How to fasten a corsage/boutonniere?
The thought of sticking a pin into a gorgeous gown or sophisticated tux might seem terrifying, but the procedure is actually quick and painless. (Unless you poke yourself with the pin!) Remember that a wrist corsage is most popular with school dances, while pin-on corsages are more popular for weddings. Make sure you let us know which you prefer.
How to pin on a corsage or boutonniere:
- Hold your corsage or boutonniere by its stem. With the flower facing away from your date, slightly angle the floral bouquet on the lapel/front shoulder.
- Before you actually attach it, make sure the flower is evenly placed and centered on the lapel/front shoulder.
- Gripping a sturdy pin in the hand that is not holding the flower, stick the pin into the fabric at the bottom left corner of the stem.
- Weave the pin back out from under the fabric. Push it through an inch, laying it at an angle over the top of the stem.
- Stick the tip of the pin back into the fabric on the other side of the stem. Insure that the stem is tightly in place with the length of the pin pushing it down.
- Weave the pin back out of the fabric again, making sure the tip of the pin does not stick out - or worse, poke your skin under the fabric.
