Why would a florist add ribbon trim to a single silk wrist corsage?

Adding ribbon trim to a single silk wrist corsage serves the purpose of concealing the mechanics involved in constructing the corsage. Floral arrangements often utilize various supports or wires to hold the flowers and foliage in place securely. This can sometimes be visually unappealing, and the addition of ribbon can effectively mask these structural components, providing a cleaner and more polished appearance.

While fragrance (which is not a feature of silk flowers), aesthetics involving color change, or increasing weight may have their own significance in different contexts, they do not address the primary functional aspect of ribbon trim in this scenario, which is to enhance the overall look of the corsage by hiding any less attractive elements.
