Corsages may be considered outdated in the sense that they are a long-standing tradition. Roughly dating back to Ancient Greek times. Whilst their origins might be considered macabre (their original intention was to prevent odors, disease, and death), a floral corsage is now considered to be a symbol of affection and is typically gifted. However, they can be a great way to tie in wedding décor with the bridal party as most couples will choose to have similar flowers and colors which reflect the bridal bouquet. Many florists will often offer corsages as part of the wedding packages. As such, they are still commonly worn and many people still opt to use them. Either way, the decision is up to the bridal couple or those organizing the occasion.
