Is a corsage pinned stem up or stem down?

Stem Down A corsage should be pinned with the flowers up as if they were in a vase. The flowers of the corsage can be placed anywhere from slightly above the left shoulder to several inches below the shoulder. A good rule of thumb is to place the corsage over the collarbone, at a slight angle away from the face.

How do you dry rose petals?

To dry a bunch of roses with the petals still on the flowers, choose roses that aren't quite fully opened. Cut off any leaves or side stems, then bundle the stems using a rubber band. Hang the roses upside down in a dry, dark place such as a closet for a few weeks until they're completely dry, then remove the petals from the roses. To enjoy the roses while the petals are drying, put the roses in a vase in a dry area, such as near a fan. Let the roses dry naturally, then remove the petals. To press the rose petals, choose roses that are in full bloom. Gently pluck the petals from the roses. Open the heavy book to the middle and place two paper towels inside. Spread out the rose petals on the paper towels, then cover them with two more paper towels. Close the book and place another heavy book or weight on top. Check the rose petals every week until they're dry, then remove them from the book. To dry rose petals quickly, choose roses that are in full bloom. Gently pluck the petals from the roses. Place the petals on a paper towel and microwave them for about 1 minute. Check to see if the petals are dry. If not, microwave them a little longer and check them again. To dry rose petals in the refrigerator, remove the petals and put them between two sheets of paper towels, or leave the petals on the flowers and cut the stems just below the blossoms. Place the roses in the refrigerator until the petals are dry. This method works especially well for preserving en entire rose corsage with baby's breath and ferns.

How can you fix corsage to silk material?

There is a new magnetic floral corsage base that uses two magnets, one in the corsage and one on the other side of the fabric. Speak to your florist for details, but it is strong enough to hold a corsage to shoes and gentle enough for the silk. If one must pin a corsage to silk, it is best to put a tissue into the dress for the pin to go through so the fabric will have stability and not tear. The pin marks can be carefully "scratched" back together with the point of the pin when the corsage is removed. Are you sure you don't want a wrist corsage?
