Etymology

The term 'corsage' originates from the French word 'corsage', which means 'the bodice of a dress'. In the late 19th century, it referred specifically to a small bouquet of flowers worn on the bodice of a gown. Over time, the meaning expanded, and corsages became popular accessories for formal occasions, symbolizing beauty and elegance. The tradition of wearing corsages has evolved, but they remain a cherished element in celebrations such as prom and weddings, representing affection and admiration from the gift giver. Corsages are often created using fresh flowers arranged artfully to complement the wearer's outfit, reflecting personal style and occasion significance.
