Common Prom Flower Questions Here are some answers to some common prom flower questions: Should the corsage match the dress? It is better to select a color that serves as an accent or complimentary color to the dress color. Since more corsages are now being worn on the wrist than pinned on, a contrasting color stands out more. What are big prom flower trends this year? Prom wristlets are in demand, including those with rhinestones, pearls, and jewels. They really are a great way to bling out the prom attire plus can be matched to any prom jewelry. Who orders the corsage? Traditionally, it was always that the man got the corsage and the woman bought the boutonniere.

Prom Time in San Diego!

Prom time is here again in San Diego, which means dresses, tuxes, limos and fun! It is that magic memory that most high schoolers enjoy in their junior and senior years of school. With a chance to dress up and work off some steam from a year of hard work, proms often require a lot of time and effort to find the perfect ensemble as well as the flowers to go with it – both corsages and boutonnieres. Our Prom Flower Selection We’re here to get you ready for the prom with a beautiful selection of corsages and boutonnieres in a wide range of colors, styles, and flower varieties. These include roses, orchids, carnations and more along with corsages that have accent features like rhinestones, pearls, and greenery. Many of prom flowers are reflective of the season in terms of spring flowers on-hand. The corsage flower designs also are regularly updated to mirror current prom flower trends or to introduce new styles that can coordinate with today’s fashions. Prom Flower Advice And, when it comes to picking out a corsage or boutonniere, there are not many rules about what works best. However, we do have some recommendations: Go with something that coordinates with your dress but does not necessarily have to match it. Pick a color that goes with your dress in a contrasting color. The flower in the corsage should be mirrored in the boutonniere in terms of variety and color to create that couple look. Pick a style that you like and that means something to you rather than just going with what is trendy. Like your dress, it should reflect your personality. You don’t have to go the traditional route where the guy buys the corsage and the [...]

Getting Ready for Prom: Bringing Back the Beauty of Flowers

The world may be changing in many ways – how we dress, how we communicate, what we dance to, etc. – but there are some traditions that still carry on. One of these is Prom, that end-of-the-year dance that becomes an excuse to dress up, make memories, and cut loose after a long, hard year of school. And some of the traditions that go with it are still the same. It’s still about fancy gowns and penguin suits. There are limos and parties. And, of course, every gentleman knows there are flowers. That means you must seek out that beautiful arrangement of flowers and, of course, a fresh corsage that compliments her stunning gown. It’s time to impress her and, more importantly, the parents that will most likely be standing there, staring you down and assessing your worth and your intentions. It’s time to make a great impression – and that might even include bringing your date’s mom a rose or small bouquet of flowers. At least, this might buy you some bonus points and maybe even an extra hour on the clock before having to bring her back home. How to Pick a Prom Corsage Since girls pretty much love any kind of flowers, picking a corsage should not be nearly as stressful as it was when you asked her to the prom. Now, if you are not sure what a corsage is, it is a group of two or three flowers worn on the wrist or can be pinned to her address. You might want to ask which type she prefers, or be safe and just got with the wrist corsage. If you feel comfortable, go ahead and pick the flower type and color yourself, but it might help [...]
