What are Corsage Pins?
Corsage pins or boutonniere pins are straight metal pins, with a round or tear-shaped, usually plastic, head that is most traditionally a pearl color. They can be made in a variety of different colors to correspond to dress colors, wedding colors or to other events. Length of these pins varies from about 1.5 to 2.5 inches (3.81-6.35 cm). The shorter ones are more likely to be used for boutonnieres, and the longer corsage pins are best when you have elaborate or heavy corsages to pin. Sometimes you may need two pins to accomplish the job, if the corsage arrangement is particularly large. For a smaller corsage or boutonniere you may not require these pins at all, and a safely pin pinned out of sight will suffice.
