Corsages & Boutonnieres in Salt Lake City

In Utah, there's always another dance. Homecoming, Sweethearts, Sadie's, Preference, Military Ball, Prom: each one comes with pictures, and every picture needs flowers.


At Beyond the Leaf, we make corsages and boutonnieres by hand, matched to the dress, the suit and the person wearing them. Bring a photo or a fabric swatch, and we'll build a set that looks good in pictures and holds up all night.


We're 8–15 minutes from East High, West High, Highland High and Judge Memorial Catholic High School, so day-of pickup is easy.

Corsages & Boutonnieres

Custom-made for homecoming, Sweethearts, prom and every dance in between

Corsage & Boutonniere Styles

Bring your idea, a screenshot, or a Pinterest pin, and we'll tell you what we can make.

Matching sets

Order the corsage and boutonniere together, and we'll design them as a pair with the same flowers, ribbon and accents.

Wrist corsages

The most popular choice. Flowers are built on an elastic or beaded wristband, so nothing pins to the dress. Great for strapless or delicate fabrics.

Pin-on corsages

A classic look worn on the dress or jacket. Best for sturdier fabrics that can hold a pin.

 Boutonnieres

A single bloom or small cluster pinned to the left lapel. We'll match it to the corsage so the pair looks coordinated in photos.

Modern & Trendy Options

Not into the classic wrist corsage? These styles are popular with students who want something different, and they photograph great.

Pocket boutonniere:

Flowers built on a slim insert that slides into the jacket's chest pocket, so the blooms sit just above the pocket. No pins and no holes in a rented suit, and it stays put all night.

Button

Ring corsage:

A small cluster of blooms on a ring band. Delicate and great with long sleeves.

Button

Hair corsage or clip:

Flowers worn in the hair, in a bun, braid or half-up style. Pair it with a matching boutonniere so you still look coordinated.

How to Order Your Corsage

  • Refrigerate it in its box until about an hour before pictures. Don't freeze it.
  • Keep it away from heat and direct sun, like a hot car dashboard.
  • Mist it lightly if it looks thirsty. Don't soak it.
  • Put it on last, after hair and makeup, to keep spray and powder off the petals.

How to Keep Your Corsage Fresh

Who Buys What? Dance Flower Etiquette

Traditionally, whoever asks to the dance orders the flowers for their date, and the date returns the favor with a matching corsage or boutonniere. For girls' choice dances like Sweethearts and Sadie's, it flips. These days plenty of couples split it or order a set together. There's no wrong answer, as long as the flowers match.

  Quick tips:

  • Boutonnieres go on the left lapel, over the heart.
  • Wrist corsages usually go on the left wrist.
  • Find out the dress color early. Guessing is the #1 corsage mistake.


Need a Dance Ask Too?

Ask with something that lasts longer than a poster. We put together potted plants and mini bouquets with custom pun tags, like "I'd be FERN-tastic at Sweethearts" or "I'm rooting for a yes."

    Kept in the fridge, a fresh corsage looks its best for a day or two, long enough for pictures and the dance.

  • Can I pick up on the day of the dance?

    Yes. Most people pick up the day of the dance so the flowers are as fresh as possible.
