Orchid Corsage Creating an Orchid corsage flowers takes a little more time and care, but I think they are well worth it when you see the elegant beauty. These tropical beauties come in several varieties and colors.
Cymbidium Corsage and BoutonniereIf you're planning on tropical wedding flowers, these orchids are both price conscious and beautiful. Note that this is a larger than normal boutonniere. So if your groom or groomsmen are objecting to wearing flowers, this might be a little big for them. You can pin it to a purse as shown, wear it as an orchid wrist corsage or pin it to your gown.
Because of it's size, keep the orchid boutonniere as simple as possible. Here you see a decorative wire wrapped around the stem.
Orange Vanda OrchidsThese orange Vanda Orchids are beautiful. This one is accented with cream astibe and backed with varigated ivy. One or two of these same blossoms can be used to make a matching corsage and boutonniere.
