Wrist Corsage or Pin-On Corsage: Which Is Better?

Ivory Duo Wrist Corsage

A wrist corsage is the most popular choice today because it does not pin into delicate fabric and stays visible in photos. A pin-on corsage suits a jacket or a structured dress. If the outfit is silk or chiffon, choose a wrist corsage. Our corsages cost $29 to $59.

Which wrist does a corsage go on?

Traditionally the left wrist. In practice, most people wear it on the wrist that is less busy with jewellery and less used, so a right-handed person often chooses the left. At a wedding, wear it on the side that will face the camera when standing with the couple.

How to put on a wrist corsage

Slide the wristlet over the hand with the flowers facing up and toward the fingers, then adjust it so it sits snugly without pinching. Put it on shortly before the event and handle the flowers as little as possible. Avoid wearing it next to a bulky watch or bracelet so the flowers do not get crushed.

Other options

The Blush Rose Floral Headband is $59 and can be personalized, popular with flower girls, brides and birthday photos.
