Soft pink artificial rose wrist corsages with ribbon ties (pair)

Description

Two pink wrist flowers for a wedding

Soft pink roses, green leaves and fine pale fillers give these IYOU corsages a gentle floral appearance. White ribbon ties finish each piece, keeping the colour palette light and easy to coordinate. The set contains two wrist corsages, making it useful for two bridesmaids, two special guests or any pair of people you would like to give matching personal flowers.

Each flower arrangement is approximately 7.6cm wide and 5cm high. The compact size is part of the appeal: it adds a visible floral detail at the wrist without becoming a miniature bouquet to carry. There are no lapel buttonholes in this particular set; both pieces are made for wrist wear.

A ribbon fitting that can be adjusted

The ribbons allow you to tie each corsage around the wrist and adjust the fit for the person wearing it. Practise making a secure bow that leaves room for comfortable movement. If a child will wear one, an adult should help with the fitting and check that the tails are a sensible length for their outfit.

Try the flowers beside the sleeves before the wedding. A short sleeve or simple cuff gives the roses room, while a heavily decorated cuff may compete with them. Wearing other bracelets on the opposite wrist can keep the flower area uncluttered and reduce the chance of beads or clasps catching the small filler sprays.

Matching flowers without matching outfits

Pink and white can connect a group even when everyone is wearing a different dress. You could repeat the pink in a ribbon on the bridal bouquet, or let these corsages be the only coloured flowers worn by the guests. The green foliage adds enough contrast to make the pale petals visible against light fabrics.

Customers have praised the colour and realistic appearance of these wrist flowers. One also used the flowers to decorate a clutch bag for a wedding, showing how the small scale can work with an accessory as well as on the wrist. If you choose a similar alternative use, check the attachment carefully and avoid a fastening that might damage a favourite bag.

Preparing a pair for the day

Keep the two corsages side by side while you open out the leaves and ribbons, so their shapes remain similar. A light touch is enough to separate any petals pressed during packing; there is no need to pull the flowers apart. Put each finished piece in a small roomy box or envelope-style container that does not flatten the head, and label it for its wearer. Afterwards, untie the ribbons gently and store the flowers dry if you would like to reuse them.
