How To Make A Wrist Corsage

How To Make A Wrist Corsage With Singapore Dendrobium Orchids.
In this video we look at not only how to create a wrist corsage, but also look at a couple of options for attaching the corsage to a wrist bracelet. We have used little white Singapore orchids, and they make the perfect flower for a light weight corsage that would go with any outfit for any occasion. All we need now is an invite to a wedding or a prom.......
Ingredients - white dendrobium orchids, ivy leaves, French ruskus leaves, one pearl bracelet, wires and corsage tape.

I have been making corsages for a decade and I love this method so much more than how I was taught. So much more secure!! This is how I will make them from here on out. Thank you!!

[@FlowerJoos]

@@lesaschmidt7668 thank you! I have to say shops have their own versions that work for them, that can be quite different from the correct taught versions! I used to work in a shop and we pushed single or double flower corsages rather than multi head versions as they are so much quicker to make - so a double orchid rather than freesia 😀

[@buddyholly4672]

This is the expert level of corsage making. This is the best looking corsage on KZbin and you make it look so easy. That curve in the stem and the symmetry of the arrangements is proof of your high level of skill

Very elegant wrist corsage. Thank you John for sharing.

[@anneg7411]

I watched a bunch of videos, and this was by far the most helpful with the most beautiful result. I used stuff from our yard: white iceberg shrub roses and buds, Emerald Gaiety Euonymus (wintercreeper) instead of ivy, some springs of vinca, fig leaves (from a house plant), and sheer white bows. I swapped the vinca for a sprig of juniper to make a matching boutonniere. They turned out beautifully! Thank you!

Fantastic 😀 thank you!

I typically use floral glue for prom wrist corsages. Using glue cuts the weight of materials and allows for more freedom of design and shape. Another helpful video, thanks!

[@FlowerJoos]

Kelli Rustin thanks for the comments - I do use cold glue sometimes but more to add a detail to a base design. Yesterday I did this on a cake top and a shower bouquet to add little dendrobium orchids. It’s lighter, and quicker as you say. Either method is good, it’s which you prefer. I always get covered in glue!

[@zoe74ful]

im a florist for 28 years in perth.your style is similar to mine.beautifully fine mechanics.the only job i hate is attatching corsage to ribbons on pearl bracelet.only job i dread ,lol,thanks so much for posting your video.

[@FlowerJoos]

twistedangel 01 hello - thank you for commenting. I know what you mean, what I do with those ribbons is tie them across first as they are threading wrong for the way I think the corsage should sit on the band and wrist. Then when tying on the corsage they don’t just pull through. 🌞

[@FlowerJoos]

Hazel Smith and it is a bit footery! 😀 Thank for watching - for your friends wedding it’s worth having a go in advance to see what problems might pop up. Even to use a few basic flowers as practice material. I grew up in Crieff - so we have sayings from all over ( my father was from Angus way ). 😀🌼

[@hazel3419]

@@FlowerJoos thanks that's great advice. I've had a wee go with some bits in the garden and supermarket flowers, though I'll be getting supplies from Camden market the day before the big day. I don't know what will be in season mid September, but feel fairly confident after watching many of your videos that I should be able to select suitable material for a beginner to make a good stab at it. Thanks again for the brilliant tutorials. (My family are more from the North East/Aberdeen and there's so many words in Doric that are hilarious and don't quite have English equivalents. The classic joke: Which foot fits which foot? is “Fit fit fits fit fit?” haha always cracks me up that one.)

Thanks for the video John. What's the best way to store if it's made couple of days in advance? Can it be sprayed with water before storing and after taking it out of the fridge, if its done that way? Please advise.

[@FlowerJoos]

Libra I personally would only make it the day before in the afternoon - that way it is nice and fresh. Or ideally on the day. I don’t think I would make it two days in advance, but the best way to keep it is wrapped in a box, or plastic with space round it, and keep in a cool place. The orchids are best not refrigerated as that might be too cold. You can give it a light mist but don’t have it wet, just in case it marks the petals.

[@annseadon9647]

[@johannajeffel8310]

How many days will this last after making it ? Just trying to figure out if I can make this 2 days ahead and put it in the refrigerator

[@FlowerJoos]

The minute the flowers are cut they are out of water, so the closer to when they are needed the better. I think two days is too long personally as the flowers will look tired and not last as well. You might be better to make a little kit, with everything prepped that can be ( so the band, any ribbon etc all together, as well as wires and tape ) and the flowers just needing cut, wired and taped. That is maybe a better option. Though you could do a test one and see how it is after two days? It needs to preform for a day though.

[@candemontano1219]

Muy hermoso, y además se ve distinguido, felicitaciones.

[@lizsassman8908]

What keeps the flowers gloomy for the entire ceremony with out water

[@FlowerJoos]

Once they are cut they are without water - so they need to be well hydrated, made as close to when needed as possible and stored cool until needed. As long as they are good on the day that’s all that’s needed for these designs

[@cloudskin7937]

Hi John Just for reference, when your making a corsage - when would be best to prepare it? Would the day before an event be alright and leave it in the fridge alongside buttonholes that are in tupperware with airholes and spirtzed with water?

[@FlowerJoos]

Hello! Yes, that is fine - essentially it is the same as a buttonhole . Just be wary of some flowers in a fridge - maybe too cold for orchids or lisianthus. If very soft material then best made on the day. 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@tooblessed573]

Beautiful.. can you tell me what material I would need ?

[@FlowerJoos]

Too Blessed the materials used are listed in the video description - but essentially you need rose wires, flower tape, a bracelet base and a few leaves and flowers. Depending on what flowers you use you will get different results

[@kimbasaurusrex2]

I’m making corsages for my wedding in a few weeks and I cannot find bracelets like that anywhere online. I can only find the low quality elastic ones for a vertical wrist corsage. Any suggestions?

[@FlowerJoos]

kimbasaurusrex2 hello - these are actually elasticated as well, so not fancy quality but ideal for a special occasion day. You could have a look in somewhere like Claire’s or any accessory shop for a bracelet you like - but try and get ones that won’t swivel on the wrist. Then you can attach you flowers using the taped wires as shown. Another suggestion is to use the heavier Aluminium decor wire and make your own bracelet, or you could attach to a ribbon loop with tails that you can tie on.

[@kimbasaurusrex2]

Flower Joos thank you! I meant I could only find the thin elastic wristlets that are typical when buying a corsage from a florist. I like the beaded look, it’s a little tidier and classy. Thanks so much for your response!

[@FlowerJoos]

kimbasaurusrex2 no problem - at one point we had really nice diamanté ones - but we used to save those for the mothers of the bride and groom as they should be more special than a guest. Keep looking, but maybe be open to non florist suppliers 😀
