Prom

Prom season is here, and your flowers should be just as amazing as your outfit. Whether you’re going classic, bold, whimsical, or full-on glam, here are some tips to help you pick the perfect corsage or boutonniere.

Don’t Be Afraid of Color

Color makes everything pop — especially in photos.

If your date is wearing black, go bright and vibrant.

If your date is in pink, try a mixed corsage with different textures and tones to help it stand out.

Want something fun? Add wire, feathers, or natural elements for a whimsical vibe.

 What Flowers Go With Which Dress Color?

Black Dress

Pretty much anything goes! From soft pastels to bright, bold, high-contrast colors.

Sea Foam Dress

Creams, soft pinks, peaches, and lavender complement beautifully.

Red + Silver Dress

White roses tipped with silver glitter, or red + white flowers with hints of sparkle.

Gray or Nude Dress

Peach, yellow, pink, and lavender all work well and add warmth.

Royal Blue Dress

Shades of blue, white, lavender, or even yellows and greens.

For a moodier, vintage look: deep reds, purples, and blues.

White Dress

The easiest match! Whites, greens, pastels, or bright statement colors — anything goes.

✨ Trendy Prom Corsages

Add wire, bling, or a beaded bracelet for a more customized and modern look.

 When to Order

If you want something special, give your florist time.

Once you have your dress or tux sorted out, your next stop should be your florist.

Bring:

A fabric swatch OR

A paint chip sample close to your color

(We have a painter’s color wheel with thousands of shades, so we can match almost anything!)

 Size + Fit Matter

A corsage for someone 6 ft tall will look different than one for someone 5 ft tall.

That’s why we ask about height and build — it helps us design something well-balanced and comfortable.

 Sending Photos Helps

Emailing photos of your dress helps us get a sense of your style and the vibe you want.

Prom Shopping Tip

As much as we adore your parents… it’s totally fine to come choose your prom flowers without them. Too many opinions can distract from your own vision.

 Not Into Wearing a Corsage?

A pretty hand-tied bouquet is becoming more popular and costs about the same.

 Boutonniere Tips

Boys’ boutonnieres have come a long way! Skip the baby’s breath and switch things up with:

Orchids

Mini calla lilies

Billy balls

Hypericum berries

Wire or ribbon accents

Twine-wrapped stems for a rustic look

Pinning Tip:

Flowers grow up — point the bloom upward and the stem down.

Cross the pins in an “X” from the inside of the lapel for better hold.

 Pick-Up + Care

Keep flowers in the refrigerator, never the freezer or a hot car.

Take them out right before you head to prom so they stay fresh and gorgeous.
