There’s a general rule that the fancier the dress, the simpler your prom corsage should be. But “simple” doesn’t equal “common.” You can take a traditional single-flower prom corsage and turn it into something fabulous by attaching it to a creative bracelet. Or you can make your corsage completely unique by using alternative materials like feathers and succulents. It’s all up to you, so let’s see what we came up with to spark your imagination for the best prom corsage of 2017!
1. Grecian Arm Band with Pheasant Feathers
Here’s a tutorial on how to make this 2-tone armband—and they’re totally adjustable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofp4pm-I-Lg&feature=youtu.be
2. Classic Corsage on a Double Bling Bracelet
This is too easy—just get yourself any oversized bling bracelet you want and then attach your date’s flowers. Perfection!
3. Dendrobium Orchid Dangle
For this, you can use fashion jewelry—buy an extra pair of earrings—then give them to your florist to make everything match. Or you can do it yourself by adding a dangle to an existing bracelet & then attaching the corsage to that.
4. Paper Roses

This is another design that works great with silk flowers—plus you won’t get the itch from wild sunflowers if you tend toward sensitive skin.
10. Wire Wrist Corsages
Either skip the flowers entirely or get yourself one of these beauties and then tell your date you want something “small and simple” to attach to it.
