School balls are a momentous occasion for students, marking the end of their high school careers and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. For many, it is also a chance to dress up and celebrate with friends and family. And what would a school ball be without corsages and buttonholes?
We at Spearwood Florist were proud to be a part of making this year's school balls extra special by providing stunning corsages and buttonholes for students at Emmanuel Catholic College, Kennedy Baptist College, Leeming Senior High School, and Corpus Christi College.
What is a Corsage?
A corsage is a small floral arrangement typically worn by women. It is usually secured to the wrist with a ribbon, elastic band, or bracelet, or sometimes pinned to the dress. Corsages are designed to complement the wearer's outfit and often include fresh flowers, such as roses, orchids, or carnations, paired with greenery and decorative accents like ribbons or pearls.
🔹 Common occasions for corsages:
- School balls and proms
- Weddings (worn by mothers, grandmothers, and female attendants)
- Formal events and special celebrations
What is a Buttonhole?
A buttonhole, also known as a boutonnière, is a small floral arrangement worn by men, traditionally pinned to the lapel of a suit or jacket. Buttonholes are typically made with a single flower (such as a rose, carnation, or orchid) along with some foliage, giving a polished and elegant touch to formal attire.
🔹 Common occasions for buttonholes:
- School balls and proms
- Weddings (worn by grooms, groomsmen, fathers, and grandfathers)
- Formal and black-tie events
Both corsages and buttonholes add a refined and decorative element to an outfit, making them a cherished tradition for memorable occasions.
