Prom Flower Fashions
The wrist corsage is the most popular prom item for girls. Wrist corsages can be customized by designing them on a crystal or sequined wristlet. Metallic design wires, rhinestones and gems are very popular and a great way to add that “wow” factor with a little prom bling. Featured below is wrist corsage designed with yellow alstromeria lilies with a boutonniere to match.

Boutonnieres can be designed to match any corsage or floral nosegays. Coordinating flowers and trims to match her flowers and express his personality are a must for prom. Pocket squares and metallic boutonniere holders are the newest in fashion. Alternative looks for girls are updated floral bouquet clutches and nosegays designed with metallic trims and prom bling. Floral jewelry in the form of necklaces, bracelets and anklets are also growing in popularity.

Ordering Tips
Flowers should be considered an accent to your ensemble, and not an afterthought. Our ordering tips include:

Schedule a time with your date to order prom flowers together in order to achieve a coordinated look for both of you.

Bring a photograph of or your dress to help define the accent look for your flowers. There are so many shades of each color, it’s safer to match ribbon and flower accents to the actual dress.

We can always accommodate last minute orders, however if you have a custom look in mind for your flowers it is best to order at least one week in advance.

Consider flower colors that compliment, don’t try match the color of your dress. Complimentary colors will contrast in the color of your dress and stand out in your photographs and among your friends.

Examples of complimentary colors:
Lime green and orange
Hot pink and bright blue
Pink and green
Purple and peach or apricot

If you’re just not comfortable with contrast in your color pallet then consider the following options for different shades within the same color family.

Light pink and hot pink
Lavender and purple
Yellow and green
Peach and orange
