Prom is a colorful and raucous spring event that often serves as a reminder of young love, best friends, and the rock songs that mark our youth. Some of the most visible features of this special evening are the corsages and boutonnieres exchanged by young couples as they head to the dance.
If youve already made an appointment with the stylist, made dinner reservations, and called up the limo company, it's time to get in touch with your florist to choose your prom flowers.
Making Sure the Flowers Match
No matter what color the dress and tuxedo, there are flowers to match, and most couples choose their flowers in a complementary color. So, for a blue dress and a black tuxedo where the girl might wear white shoes and the guy has a white tie or bowtie, you might think about a corsage of white roses and orchids and a simple white rose boutonniere to match.
Roses and Orchids Corsage
However, the colors you choose don't need to exactly match something on your outfits, and you don't have to wear accessories that are the same color as your flowers. For a red dress and a white tux, pink flowers are a beautiful choice as are ivory flowers.
Want something stunning and out-of-the-ordinary? Try yellow roses for your corsage and boutonniere or go with orchids instead of roses for something elegant.
Who Buys and Chooses the Flowers?
You have a whole pile of things to arrange whether youre buying a boutonniere for your boyfriend or a corsage for your girlfriend, but flowers are easy to figure out. Traditionally, each person buys flowers for his or her date.
Sometimes a couple might have one person choose the flowers, so they match, but it's not the end of the world if you buy a red boutonniere and your date chooses a pink corsage. As long as you have a brief conversation about the colors of your outfits, choosing flowers to match is fun and easy.
Pink Corsage
Want to make it extra easy to get the right flowers? Split the responsibilities down the middle with one person taking choosing the colors of the outfits and flowers and the other arranging the transportation and the food.
Whether youre attending prom with friends, or youve got a date with your boyfriend or girlfriend, prom should be an excitingly fun night. Make it beautiful with flowers from French Florist.
