1 stem Spray Rose
1 orange Ranunculus
Part of a stem of Viburnum Berry
3 Galax Leaves
#24 Gauge Wire
Green Stem Wrap
Finishing Touch or Crowning Glory Flower Sealant
Crystal Clear Flower Food
Colored Crystals or Colored Pearl Sprays or Acrylic Bead Drop Crystals
Colored 2" Pearl Headed Corsage Pins
OR EasyPins
OR Boutstix Magnets

Flower design always starts with proper processing of your wholesale flowers immediately upon arrival. Don't ignore the suggested flower products. They go a long way towards increasing the life of your fresh flowers and are very affordable.

Wire and tape each individual flower. Tape the stems together, clustering a few berries around each flower head. Tuck the Galax leaf on all sides and tape onto the flower stems. If you wish, tape rhinestones, pearls or other flower jewels before adding the galax leaves.

Wire and tape all flowers and foliage arranging them into desired corsage shape. Secure with floral tape and accent with spray rhinestones or looped pearls. Spray entire arrangement with a flower sealant such as Clear Crowning or Finishing Touch, making sure to completely coat the fronts and backs of the flowers. Allow the corsage to dry and then refrigerate until needed on the wedding day.
