Results: Corsages and Boutonnieres
Boutonnieres were worn in ancient days to show support for a team or player in a sporting event. The name stems from the French word for "buttonhole" flower and they are a single bloom or a few small flowers worn on the left lapel of a man's jacket.
Corsages, whose fragrance originally warded off evil spirits and offered good luck, are now a show of affection or a way of honoring their recipients.
