If you’re looking for corsages in Aberdeen – for prom, weddings, graduations or any celebration – give us a ring on 01224 454133 to chat all things flowers. Now, let’s dive into the charming world of corsages!
What Is a Corsage?
A corsage is a small arrangement of flowers worn to mark a special occasion. Traditionally, they’re pinned to the dress or worn around the wrist. But corsages aren’t just for proms anymore! They’re worn at weddings, graduations, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, formal dinners, retirement parties – even funerals. Basically, any time you want to feel extra special or honour someone important, a corsage is a blooming lovely choice.
In the world of floristry, corsages fall into three main types:
-
Wrist Corsages – usually fixed on a ribbon or elasticated bracelet
-
Pin-On Corsages – pinned to a dress, lapel, or shawl
-
Magnetic Corsages – ideal for delicate fabrics or dresses you don’t want to pin!
At We Found Love, we make all three – just let us know what you’re wearing and the style you’re going for.
What Are Corsages Used For?
1. Proms & School Formals in Aberdeen
Prom season is always a busy one here at We Found Love, and we love it! A wrist corsage is a prom-night staple for many teens in Aberdeen. Whether it’s a matching duo for couples or a statement corsage for solo prom-goers, we design bold, romantic, pastel or totally bespoke looks to suit any prom dress or suit. We’ve even had requests for all-black gothic corsages – and yes, we made it fabulous.
2. Weddings
Corsages at weddings are often worn by mothers of the bride and groom, grandmothers, and special guests. Whether it’s a classic rose, a dainty orchid, or a foliage-based corsage, it’s a lovely way to acknowledge key family members. We often make matching buttonholes too, so the whole look ties together beautifully.
Bonus tip: if your wedding dress or outfit is made of delicate lace or silk, we recommend a magnetic corsage to keep your look flawless!
3. Graduations
Graduation day is a huge moment – and it deserves to be celebrated in full bloom. A corsage worn to a graduation ceremony or party adds that little something extra to your gown or dress. We love seeing proud mums and dads rocking corsages and buttonholes on their child’s big day.
4. Anniversaries & Special Dinners
Treat your date to something thoughtful with a wearable flower. Corsages are elegant, timeless, and much more exciting than just chocolates or a card. If you’re celebrating an anniversary in Aberdeen or even attending a fancy dinner at a venue like The Marcliffe, a corsage adds floral finesse to the evening.
5. Mother’s Day & Birthdays
Let your mum wear her flowers with pride! Corsages make a brilliant birthday surprise or Mother’s Day gift. They’re ideal for stylish mums and grans who want something a bit different from a traditional bouquet.
6. Funerals & Memorials
Corsages can be worn to memorials and funerals to honour loved ones in a personal way. We can tailor colours and flowers to reflect the memory of someone special. These tend to be understated but deeply meaningful.

How to Look After a Corsage
A corsage may be petite, but it still needs a little TLC. Here’s how to keep yours looking fresh from day to night:
Keep It Cool
Store it in the fridge (yes, really!) until it’s time to wear. Flowers last longer in cooler temperatures.
Avoid Crushing
Transport your corsage in a small box or container – not in a handbag or coat pocket.
Mist It
Give it a light spritz with water if it starts to wilt. Just avoid drenching it.
Be Gentle
Wrist corsages should be worn slightly loose to avoid crushing the flowers with movement.
After the Event
Want to keep it as a memory? Some people press or dry their corsages! Let it dry naturally in a warm place, and it’ll become a keepsake.
