White Rose and Blue Thistle Wrist Corsage

Blue and White Wrist Corsage with Thistle

One ivory rose, small blue thistles and silver dollar eucalyptus on a wrist band, finished with a navy satin ribbon. It is striking against navy, black, silver and white, and it is the natural match for a thistle buttonhole. Our florists make it by hand in our Claremont studio, the way we have worked since 1999. Browse every matching pair in our corsages and boutonnieres.

Navy ribbon, ivory rose and thistle blue: a corsage for a dress that deserves something unexpected.

How to Wear Your Wrist Corsage

Slip it onto the left wrist, or whichever wrist you use less, so it stays out of the way when you eat, shake hands and dance. Turn it so the flowers sit on top of the wrist, then tie the ribbon in a soft bow.

Keeping It Fresh Until the Big Moment

Keep it somewhere cool, like the fridge (never the freezer), until you leave, and away from direct sun and fruit bowls, because ripening fruit makes flowers age faster. Our guide to caring for fresh flowers has more tips.

Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day flower delivery. This is a fresh flower piece made to be worn on the day, so we deliver it across Cape Town only.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.
