A corsage is the counterpart of the buttonhole: a few flowers mounted on an elastic wristband or a pin. It is often given to mothers, grandmothers and witnesses to mark them out among the guests, without asking them to carry a bouquet. The custom comes from English-speaking countries and is now common in Italy too.
Think about who will wear it: on silk or light fabrics a wrist corsage is better than a pin. Like a buttonhole, it spends hours without water. The guide on buttonholes and flowers for the groom and families explains the options; the sample quotes and the real wedding flower examples show how it appears in lists of pieces.
What to ask: wrist or pin, how many pieces, and whether they are part of the morning delivery.
