A wrist corsage is traditionally worn by a woman, and purchased by her date, though she may want to be part of the decision making when it comes to color and style. Wrist corsages can be detailed and elegant, or simple and modern. They come in a variety of colors and flowers, and tend to last a short time, so plan on getting it the day of or the evening before your event. If wearing a corsage on your wrist doesn't appeal to you, it is also common for a woman to wear a pin on corsage, which is simply a more detailed version of a boutonniere.
A pin on boutonniere is traditionally worn by a gentlemen, It is similar in color and style to his date or partners corsage, and picked up at the same time. The gentlemen's date or partner typically will pay for his boutonniere for him. It is pinned on to the gentlemen's jackets left lapel, just above the heart with the stem facing down and flower facing up.
