Corsages have been popular throughout modern history. The name dates back to the 19th century, when a corsage was the bodice of a dress. A small bouquet of flowers was often worn in the centre of the bodice.

Corsages have been around for much longer than their name. The ancient Greeks believed the scent of flowers would ward off evil spirits during wedding ceremonies.
