Roses are the seemingly quintessential flower used in corsages. They are attractive, come in an array of colors and can offer different looks if the blooms are closed or opened. A single rose makes a simple statement, while several make an eye-catching corsage.
Carnations are also commonly used in corsages. Their ruffled petals offer a playful look for this flower arrangement and they come in several colors, as well as different sizes.
For a sophisticated look, choose calla lilies for a corsage. These tubular shaped flowers create a delicate and romantic look for any occasion. They come in several different colors, from white to a deep red that resembles black.
For an attractive and aromatic corsage, choose freesia. These funnel-shaped flowers come in several different colors, including white, yellow and pink. Used alone, they create a delicate look; they also work well in conjunction with other flowers.
