Corsage and Buttonhole Sets – Timeless Elegance for Weddings, Formals, Graduations, Events and Occasion
Corsages and buttonholes have a rich history dating back to ancient times, where flowers were worn to ward off evil spirits or to symbolize love and honour. These were known as Nosegay’s. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, they became popular accessories for formal dances and weddings, often given as a token of affection or respect.
In today’s world, corsages and buttonholes remain a meaningful gesture, used to highlight special guests, honour loved ones, or complement formal wear with elegance and intention. Whether it’s a polished suit or a flowing gown, these floral accents bring personal charm and visual harmony to every ensemble. Our Corsage and Buttonhole Sets are handcrafted in Cairns using the freshest seasonal blooms, perfectly suited for a wide range of events. We proudly service Cairns Formals and Graduations, Cairns Weddings, Cairns Spring Racing, and Cairns Events of all kinds – from gala balls to corporate functions and everything in between.
Our florists work closely with you to match colours, themes, and personal style, ensuring each floral piece is as unique as the moment it celebrates. Whether you’re marking a Year 12 Graduation or Formal with a delicate wrist corsage and buttonhole for your date, or exchanging vows in the tropics with elegant rose or orchid sets for the bridal party, our floral artisans are here to make it memorable. We understand the nuances of styling for Cairns Weddings, from barefoot beach ceremonies to black-tie receptions in the rainforest. Our corsage and boutonnière designs are tailored to suit both the setting and the sentiment.
Corsages, typically worn on the wrist or shoulder, are crafted with lightweight blooms and secured with a soft ribbon or pearl bracelet to ensure all-night comfort. They are perfect for school formals, bridal parties, mothers of the bride and groom, or any honoured guest. Our Buttonholes (also called boutonnieres) are elegantly styled for grooms, groomsmen, fathers, or event hosts – finished with foliage, rustic twine, satin wraps, or bold accent blooms depending on your aesthetic. Trends in corsages and buttonholes continue to evolve, reflecting both fashion and floral innovation. Traditionally, white roses and baby’s breath reigned supreme. But today, modern Cairns Formals and Weddings favour bold pops of colour, dried floral accents, native blooms, and even preserved flowers that last well beyond the event. For Cairns Spring Racing, we see seasonal florals paired with stylish millinery for a cohesive look, with lighter, airy palettes taking the lead. Similarly, school formals are leaning into on-trend tones like burnt orange, champagne, blush, and sage – often coordinated with dress colours or tuxedo detailing.
We also cater to Cairns LGBTQIA+ formals and weddings, offering gender-neutral and fully custom options to celebrate love in all its forms. Whether it’s two wrist corsages, two lapel florals, or something entirely unique, we welcome all expressions of love and identity. Each corsage and buttonhole set is made to order and packaged with care. We offer flexible pick-up from our studio and delivery options across Cairns and surrounding townships, including for last-minute orders during peak formal seasons. Our team can advise on seasonal availability, styling guidance, and even flower preservation methods to keep your special pieces as keepsakes.
