Chanhua Wedding Corsage Set | Bride & Groom

A matched pair: one corsage, one boutonniere, both finished.

Chanhua (缠花) is a Chinese folk craft: dyed velvet thread is wound, strand by strand, around a shaped copper-wire frame until a flower appears. It is three-dimensional and sculptural — closer to making a tiny sculpture than to sewing or embroidery.

The two pieces are made from the same thread and the same frames, so they read as a pair rather than as two flowers bought on different days. In a Chinese wedding the couple wears them on the chest, one each.

What arrives

• One finished corsage, for the bride
• One finished boutonniere, for the groom
• A rigid gift box and a care card

Who it suits

• Couples marrying in hanfu or in a Chinese ceremony
• Anyone who wants the couple to match without wearing the same thing
• Planners putting together a wedding wardrobe that lasts past the day

What you end up with

Two small finished pieces, made by hand as a set, in the colorway shown in the photographs. They are not large — these are chest flowers, not statement pieces.

Good to know

• Made to order — allow about 7 days before dispatch. The seven days are the making, not the shipping.
• Care — keep them dry, store them in the box, keep perfume and sunscreen off the thread.
• Ships worldwide with tracking, from Guang'an, Sichuan.

If your wedding date is close, message me before ordering and I will tell you honestly whether seven days can be met.
