A corsage /kɔːrˈsɑːʒ/ is a small bouquet of flowers worn on a woman's dress or around her wrist for a formal occasion. They are typically given to her by her date. Today, corsages are most commonly seen at homecomings, proms, and similar formal events.[1]
In some countries, similar ornaments are worn by the mothers and grandmothers of the bride and groom at a wedding ceremony.[2]
Flowers worn by men are generally called buttonholes or boutonnières. At school events such as homecoming or prom, male female couples generally coordinate the corsage and boutonnière, signifying their connection, and distinguishing them from others.[3] In some cases, young girls may wear a corsage to a father-daughter dance, and the father may also wear a boutonnière.[4]
