Wrapped Bouquets are a popular item for presentation. Be sure to present your wrapped flowers when they can be placed in water. Taking them to a ceremony will mean they will be out of water for a substantial time and the flowers will not last as long. Consider bringing a vase along to keep the flowers fresh while at an event. Another option is to ask us to place water tubes on the stems of wrapped bouquets. Of course we suggest sending the arrangement to home in a vase for long lasting blooms.

Send a beautiful vase of flowers with some festive “Congratulations” balloons to the graduate at home! Popular color choices for a floral gift of celebration are reds, blues, yellow, oranges and purples. Ask the florist to add a colorful ribbon in school colors.

A long lasting plant, dish garden or European basket would be very appropriate to send as a “Congratulations” gift! With your special message, this gift will be enjoyed for months, even years to come and can provide a lasting memory of graduation.

A Gourmet Gift Basket filled with delicious treats is always a welcome surprise. Ask your local florist about the many options available for gift baskets! Remember, flowers create a sense of happiness, wellness and optimism. They are a perfect expression of celebration for graduation!

For the Young Lady

You can choose Prom flowers to match or compliment her dress. If the color of her dress is difficult to match, your local florist can suggest a complimentary color. If your date has a favorite flower, let us know. The ribbon can also be matched to her dress or a neutral color can be used, such as sheer, gold or silver.

Pin-on Corsage- A traditional corsage that can be attached to a prom dress with pins. Using 2 pins will stabilize the corsage. Pin On corsages are not appropriate for lightweight material or strapless dress designs.

Wrist Corsage- This corsage attaches to an elastic band to be worn around the wrist. When choosing a wrist corsage, let your florist know if the young lady wearing it is petite. Too large of a corsage (ie; too many flowers) can be uncomfortable on someone with a smaller frame. In this case, your florist might suggest fewer or smaller flowers to be incorporated into the corsage. Teenage girls apparently prefer either small bouquets they’ll carry and flop on the table or “wrist bouquets” (quite flashy for slow dances).

Upper Arm Corsage- This new trend in corsages has proved popular for several reasons. It is a floral corsage attached to an elastic band, like the wrist corsage, worn on the upper arm (tricep area). Placement on the upper arm allows for less interference near the hand. It is appropriate for strapless or sleeveless dress designs. Ribbons, greenery or beads can be incorporated into the design to dangle from the prom corsage as an accessory.

Posies/Nosegays/Bouquets- These are small clutches of prom flowers to be presented and carried like a small bouquet. They can consist of one type of flower or a variety of flowers. Because they need to be carried, they are not as popular as the wearing corsages. They are lovely in presentation and for photos!

For the Young Man

Boutonnieres- To be pinned on to the male’s jacket. Prom boutonnieres are usually created with 1 focal flower, green foliage, and some filler. If using smaller flowers such as sweetheart or spray roses or mini carnations, more flowers can be used. It can be made to match the corsage, but it is not necessary. To attach the Boutonniere to the jacket, use two pins and place the corsage (upright at a slight angle) centered on the left lapel of the jacket.

Some final tips
Be sure to plan for your Prom flowers accordingly. Order one week ahead if possible. Have us deliver corsage/boutonniere no sooner than the day before. They must be kept in the refrigerator to stay cool until they are ready to present or wear.

In addition to photographing the prom couple in attire with their floral accessories, take a few close up snapshots of the floral designs, for their photo books. Years from now, they will appreciate the detailed photos.

Prom Flowers are traditionally worn on the left side for the big event, the same side as your heart
