If you are trying to learn how to make a corsage, you are probably getting ready for a baby shower, a prom, or another event where someone is being honored. Yeah!
In this post, you can learn how to make a corsage that can be used for moms-to-be, proms, and really any occasion. However, if you are planning to make a corsage for a baby shower, keep the following in mind:
- in the olden days, a baby shower corsage would be pink or blue to signify the baby’s gender. Not so much anymore. Nowadays, a corsage or “mommy to be sash” is often made to match the new mommy’s personality, or the baby shower theme.
- also in the olden days, a baby shower corsage was a floral arrangement. People do still mostly use flowers to make corsages, but not always. Nowadays, the sky is the limit when it comes to designing a baby shower corsage.
- If you are planning to make a corsage (or maternity sash) for the mom-to-be, do consult with her first. Find out what she is wearing on the day of the baby shower. You will want the corsage and/or maternity sash to complement her clothes.
