Corsage: This traditional gift for your date was customarily worn attached to the bodice of the dress. These days the corsages can be worn fastened to a shoulder strap or waistband – but the most common variety currently is the wrist corsage. Wrist corsages are popular for prom and other special events, and not only feature fresh, extraordinary flowers but can include jewelry, feathers, sequins, ribbons, and more.

Nosegay Bouquets: These small, compact bouquets has its stems tied in ribbons for an easy-to-hold yet beautiful arrangement. Nosegay bouquets are beginning to enjoy some popularity as an alternative to a corsage.
