How Do You Buy A Corsage Or Boutonniere For The Prom?
Quintessential symbols of prom night, corsages and boutonnieres should be simple, elegant arrangements that match your date’s color scheme. Step 1 Discuss with your date the basic colors you both plan to wear to the prom. A prom dress may be one solid color, or it may contain several hues. Determine the predominant color and work from there. Step 2 If your date is female, ask whether she prefers a wrist or pin-on corsage. All male boutonnieres should be worn pinned to the lapel. Step 3 Determine whether your date has any favorite flowers that should be incorporated into the arrangement. Step 4 Call local florists to gauge prices and to get a sense of flower varieties, colors and costs. Order the flower arrangement at least two weeks before the dance. Step 5 Pick up the flowers the day before, or the day of, the prom to insure maximum freshness and perkiness.
