The Ring Corsage: How Cute Is THIS?!Pin

My dad used to get my mom and me corsages for Easter Sunday. TheΒ corsagesΒ pinned to our dresses, and I wasn’t a fan. I was so afraid it would poke me, and let’s be honest, sometimes it did.Β My mom’s corsage was always a green orchid and mine was usually carnations. I love my dad for this sweet sentiment each year, but I hate carnations to this day.

Easter corsages from 1980sPin
Ahhhh, the ’80s and Easter corsages. There’s my carnation corsage and my mom with her green orchid one!

Easter corsages are not as in vogue as they once were, but corsagesΒ are still a requirement for high school formals and proms and even some weddings. TheyΒ have made their way to the wrist, leaving the only pinning needed to the boutonniere on a guy’s suit.

But now there is a new corsage in town, and I have to say, I love it! It’s theΒ ringΒ corsage. Can I just wear one to dinner some random Saturday night?! Who knows, maybe I will get someΒ for Easter for my girls and for me. I mayΒ try to suggest this for theΒ formals and proms they have coming up, as well.

Take a look and see if you are as enchanted with these little darlingsΒ as we are at StyleBlueprint. They are modern, pretty and add a fabulous touch of fancy, fresh whimsy to finish off the prom ensemble. So if you are a mom of a teen old enough to go to a formal or prom, or you are that teen, or you want to walk down memory lane with me and wish the ring corsage was available for you, check these out.

(I’m also speculating that these are going to somehow wiggle their way into weddings. They are just too adorable not to.)

The prettiest ring corsage ever!Pin

We asked a couple of florists for examples of ring corsages they are making for customers, and look at what they whipped up!

Our friends atΒ Blooms, in LaGrange, KY, put together three examples of ring corsages:
