Dear Margaret,

We don't make corsages here so maybe don't know the best ways of making them, but i can advise you on thre most pupular items people use for making their corsages.

Firstly, you need to decide if you would be using real or artificial flowers.  of course real flowers would mean they have to made at the last minute whereas artificial can be made well in advance.

Our foam roses are a very popular product.

You then need to decide whether to use a corsage clip or magnets.  The clips come with a flat back so you can use a stemtape to attach the flower, the magnets you would have to tape onto the back of the flower.  Please note that magnets are not recommended for people with pacemakers as they are very strong magnets.

You can purchase a selection of fern, or leaves for the foliage and some people even use crystal or diamanté picks in their corsages.

Other than this, all i can suggest is possibly asking a florist as they ahve a little more experience is actually putting them together.

Regards

Kirsty
