corsage

[Dim]

Could you help me with one more sentence, please?
... The family sat in two rows of chairs pulled close to the monitor, Rowland with a red, white and blue corsage and a box of tissues. ...
("Witnessing virtual nuptials" The Sun September 15, 2001)
I'm interested in "red, white and blue corsage". I wonder if it is бутоньерка, букетик искусственных цветов or корсаж.
The article is about a wedding ceremony broadcast via streaming video since the Rowlands (the groom's family) were unable to get a flight out of Washington state in the wake of terrorist attack.
Thank you in advance.

букетик искусственных цветов, that's for sure

[askandy]

Причем не просто букетик, а тот который крепится на платье

Thank you. And can a corsage be attached to the groom's suit?

[Translucid Mushroom]

Yeah, why not?

Thanks!

hope i am not too late... anyway...

corsage - a small decorative group of flowers which a WOMAN pins to her clothes or ties around her wrist, usually for a special occasion.

as for a groom's suit - Multitran gives quite a number of variants for "бутоньерка" if that's what you need :)

БУТОНЬЕРКА, -и, ж. Цветок или букетик цветов, прикрепляемый к платью.

Очевидно, к женскому платью...

Well, the problem is Rowland "with a red, white and blue corsage" is, as far as I can see, a groom and so I'm puzzled...
