Corsage and boutonniere?

Question

I seriously just don't understand corsages and boutonnieres. So the guy buys the girl the corsage, and the girl buys the boy the boutonniere? Do you order them together so that they match? Are they even suppose to match? Is the guy suppose to arrange all of that? I'm so confused! Detailed explanations would be much appreciated :D

Oh yeah, how do you order the corsage and boutonnierre separately or together? How you make sure they match each other?

Answer 1

Ok for a guy that's been to two proms back in tha day..you have it right. Thy guy usually buys the corsage and the girl usually buys the boutonniere. Most couples tend to match the flowers with the dress the girl is wearing. Now the flower shops ask if you would like a rose or an orchid? Get the orchids because it is much prettier and they last longer through your night of dancing and stuff. Good luck.
