The next step in making a silk corsage is to find out where she's wearing it, and what she's wearing. What you need to do is ask her is she wearing a strapless dress. And then, of course, if she is, that means you're not going to be able to pin something on her skin. If she wants a wrist corsage, is it going to be on her right hand, or is it going to be on her left hand? Depending on which way the watch that she wears, or any jewelry. She could wear it on her arm, which is coming into style, if it's a more casual, like for proms or homecomings or weddings, maybe, something that's a little bit less formal. You could wear it around your neck, with a ribbon around it, in a hat, or you can pin it onto a purse. So it's very important you ask them what they're wearing and how they want their corsage made. And it just makes it look like it's something that's really well thought out and put together as opposed to just buying something and slapping it anywhere you can. It also helps the person hold it and handle it better, and take care of it, so that they can keep it later as a momentum. All you would need to do then is lay it anywhere in your house and display it, so remembering the event you just went to. So the next important step in doing a corsage or boutonni?re is to find out where and what she is wearing.
