Rose corsages can be made using different materials and designs. These types include.
Natural red and white rose corsage
This is a type of corsage made using fresh roses. It is a popular choice for weddings and proms because of its natural beauty. The red and white colours of the roses can either be combined or separately depending on the customer’s preference. Other than roses, other flowers can also be used as fillers to give the corsage more texture.
Silk red and white rose corsage
This type of corsage is made from artificial silk materials. It is mostly preferred because silk roses are the flowers that mimic real roses. This corsage is more durable. It is ideal for outdoor events because it cannot be affected by the weather. Silk corsages also allow for colour customisation.
Red and white rose corsage with gems
Corsages made from red and white roses with gems are some of the most elegant corsages. In this type of corsage, the designer adds small gem embellishments to the flowers. These stones are mostly added to the flowers themselves or to the bands and wrist straps holding the flowers. Corsages with gems are mostly used for formal events like weddings, proms, and galas. They add a touch of glamour to the outfit.
Red and white rose and greenery corsage
This type of corsage is designed using green leaves and foliage together with rose flowers. It is a classic design that adds depth and contrast to the overall look. The greenery used can be any type, such as eucalyptus, ferns, or ivy. These leaves complement the beauty of the red and white roses by providing a lush, green background.
Compact closed rose corsage
This is the type of corsage where the red and white roses used are small and still closed. This gives the design a chic and sleek look. This type of corsage is usually preferred by people who like simple and elegant designs. It is mostly used for formal events where the style needs to be kept understated.
Several design elements are important in making a red and white rose corsage appealing and in line with the occasion. Below are these design elements.
Rose colors
The primary colours of the corsage are the red and white roses. The shade of red can range from a deep crimson to a brighter cherry red. The bolder the red, the more noticeable the rose will be against any gown or dress. The white roses can also be pure white or have a tinted shade of cream or pale blush. This will give the corsage a softer touch.
Corsage style
The style of the corsage can be wrist, pin-on, or ankle styles. There will be different styles for each type, and the type chosen depends on individual preference and the event. Most wrist corsages are made with a more relaxed design. They have more flowers and are more suited to casual events. More formal events usually have pin-on corsages, which are more compact and elegant.
Floral arrangement
The arrangement of the flowers used is also very important to the general look of the corsage. In most cases, the roses are paired in a simple elegant way to highlight their beauty. However, other flowers like baby’s breath, hydrangeas, or greenery can also be added as fillers to give the rose more texture. This also makes the design more rounded and fuller.
Accessorising
Accessories are some of the elements that make the rose corsage more elegant. Jewel embellishments, ribbons, pearls, or even sequins, for instance, can be used to decorate the flowers or the bands holding the flowers. The gems used can be in matching colours or contrasting colours to the overall colour of the corsage. They add sparkle and shine to the corsage. Corsages adorned with ribbons also have the ribbons in complementary or matching colours to the flowers.
Weddings
Roses have always been among the most preferred wedding flowers. A red and white rose corsage is another elegant way of incorporating both rose colours into the event. Red rose corsages are mostly worn by brides and everyone else in the bridal party, while white rose ones are for the male members of the wedding party. Both the natural and silk red and white rose corsages can be matched with the other floral decorations used in the wedding to create a harmonious look.
Prom nights
Proms are also another event where rose corsages are widely used. As proms are mostly attended by teenagers, red and white corsages are a classic colour combination because of their simplicity. They are mostly preferred by the girls because they illustrate femininity and elegance. They will most likely use it as a decoration for their gowns during the dance. Prom nights are held in most places during the spring or early summer. So the fresh rose corsages are very popular for this occasion because of the beauty and fragrance of the fresh roses.
Galas and formal events
Roses have always been used in formal events such as galas because of their luxurious charm. A red and white course is a perfect combination for all the attendees at these events. Customarily, these events are held in the spring or early winter. Thus, a fresh rose corsage is an ideal selection for an attendee whose event is on this season. Formal events are also very formalistic about elegance and style. Thus, a corsage with jewels will be a great addition to elevating the overall look.
Graduation ceremonies
Graduations are also an important event in everyone’s life. Rose corsages are traditionally given as gifts to graduates. They can be either a red one, which is a symbol of love and respect, or a white one that is a symbol of new beginnings. People residing in areas with graduations during spring and early summer prefer a corsage made of fresh roses.
A rose corsage comes in different specifications mostly based on the type and style of the rose. Here are the most important ones to consider.
Size
The size of the corsage is usually determined by the number of flowers used in it and the extent of the embellishments added. Larger size corsages are mostly for casual events like weddings and proms. They are more laid-back and filled with more flowers. An example of a large corsage is a wrist corsage with flowers on it. Larger-sized corsages are also easier to balance with floral decorations that are big in size.
Corsage base material
The base material of the corsage is usually the wire, tape, or glue that hold the flowers together. It can also be the bands and straps of the corsages. For most elegant looks, bases made of satin or velvet in close match to the floral design are preferred. In the case of a corsage having many flowers, make sure that the base material is strong enough to support the flowers.
Weatherproofing
Compared to fresh rose corsages, silk rose corsages are more convenient and easy to carry around. It is because they do not need any kind of refrigeration. It makes them ideal for outdoor events that are prone to affect roses’ natural beauty due to changes in weather elements. This is also the reason why silk rose corsages are most commonly used.
