corsage

corsage
Noun
pl: corsages

A corsage is specifically associated with formal celebratory events, such as proms, weddings, or galas. It carries a connotation of elegance and tradition, serving as a decorative accessory rather than a functional piece of jewelry.

While the term is primarily used for floral arrangements worn by women on the wrist or pinned to a dress, it is distinct from a boutonniere, which is the smaller floral spray worn by men on the lapel of a suit jacket.
