The U.S. Postal Service introduces Garden Corsage, a new two-ounce stamp for many of life’s special moments. This contemporary, casual floral collection looks like it was just picked from the garden as a perfect accent for any occasion. Garden Corsage can accommodate the weight of heavy invitations for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations; oversize greeting cards; and mailings such as small gifts that require extra postage. Garden Corsage is similar in design to the new Contemporary Boutonniere Forever® stamp, and the two form a natural pair.

The stamp art features a photograph of a corsage containing a spray of peach roses and a pink ranunculus, accented with deep-pink heather and seeded eucalyptus. A cream-colored lace ribbon entwines the flowers. Organic is a preferred style for today’s floral designs, and choosing these lovely materials creates a beautiful botanical presentation. The addition of the ribbon brings movement to the corsage and the perfect touch of femininity.

Contemporary Boutonniere is a new Forever® stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service. Similar in design to the two-ounce Garden Corsage stamp, it can be used on RSVP envelopes often enclosed with wedding invitations. It is also perfect for party invitations, thank-you notes, and announcements, in addition to regular correspondence.

The Contemporary Boutonniere stamp art features a photograph of a burgundy mini-cymbidium orchid bloom, a succulent, and a touch of green hydrangea, accented with loops of variegated lily grass. Each of these materials is right on trend for today’s modern designs. This boutonniere, although suitable for a gentleman, can also be a choice for a lady especially if she prefers something tailored in design. The touch of hydrangea softens the look to make that transition an easy one.
