There’s a lot of planning that goes into prom. The dress, the suit, the limo, the tickets; all of these are important parts of the evening that are impossible to overlook, but something students might not yet be thinking about is the flowers.
Prom tradition has always included the corsage and boutonniere, but at this stage of prom planning it could easily be overlooked.
Here’s a few pieces of advice for those students who are still unsure about what kind of flowers to get their date.
When to do it: Visit the flower shop at least one to two weeks prior to the night of prom so the florist can special order the flowers.
How to make sure they’ll like it: Bring in a swatch of the dress to match the color or bring the dress itself. Don’t be afraid to ask about their favorite color and/or favorite flower.
Coming in separately: If this is the case, make sure to tell each other about the flowers already purchased.

Prom is a night no student will forget. Hopefully the flowers won’t be forgotten either.
