What Flowers Go in a Corsage? A 2025 Design Guide for Weddings & Proms

When clients ask me what flowers go in a corsage¹, they’re often overwhelmed by options—especially when juggling freshness, style, and budget.

In 2025, the best corsage flowers are realistic, long-lasting, and elegant—perfect for weddings, proms, and styled events.

Let’s break down the most suitable blooms, trends, and florist tips that make corsages not only stylish but also stress-free to produce.

Popular Flowers: What Flowers Go in a Corsage in 2025?

Event stylists still love roses, but 2025 is about options.
So what flowers go in a corsage¹ this year? Think ranunculus, orchids, silk succulents, and preserved florals.

For example, a Chicago wedding planner named Kate asked us for 200 blush-toned corsages using silk roses and stephanotis. Guests couldn’t believe they weren’t fresh—and we received three new referrals that week.

• Roses remain a staple, especially blush or champagne tones.
• Ranunculus add fullness without heaviness.
• Orchids bring an upscale feel, especially in tropical-themed weddings.
• Faux succulents are trending for minimalist and boho clients.

I always tell new clients: knowing what flowers go in a corsage¹ helps prevent misalignment between theme and texture. It’s not just about beauty—it’s about harmony.

Corsage vs Boutonniere: What Flowers Go Where?

Many buyers ask: what flowers go in a corsage¹ versus a boutonniere?
Corsages are fuller, often worn on the wrist or shoulder; boutonnieres are small, subtle accents for lapels.

In a Melbourne wedding, we used faux peonies and baby’s breath for bridesmaid corsages, while the groomsmen wore boutonnières made with single sprigs of lavender. The stylist praised the photo balance afterward.

Dive Deeper

• Corsages = layered, rounded floral groupings
• Boutonnières = slim, vertical, and simple
• Use denser blooms for corsages, and long-stem elements for men

When sourcing corsages, I always recommend pre-assembling a sample to review proportions and attachment comfort.

What Flowers Go in a Corsage That Lasts All Day?

If you’re asking what flowers go in a corsage¹ that won’t wilt by afternoon, the answer is clear: artificial.

Silk roses, PU calla lilies, and foam ranunculus are perfect for heat-resistance and long events.
