Since most of us only go to prom once or twice in your lifetime we don't always keep up to date with prom trends. What has changed over the years? If you didn't attend prom last year; how will you be aware of what is different this year? Yes, it's easy to see how your prom is going to be different from your mother's prom, but it's the little touches that make each year better than the last. So what is something different that you can do this year? How about flowers. Now teens are wearing corsages not only on their wrists or pinned near their dresses, but they are pinning them almost everywhere else too!
This year you might want to try a hip/waist corsage or a floral armband. They now make prom arrangements for your shoulder, head, feet, fingers, and even for your back too! If you are really bold you could even try the new floral tattoo! That's right I said tatoo! It is made of real flowers, so of course it's not permanent. Don't ask me how they do it. You'll have to speak to your florist about that one. My personal favorite is the choker corsage.
I think it's always best to pick a simple engagement (usually only choosing between one and three different flowers). Also try to avoid bundling a large quantity of the flowers you choose. You don't want to look like an entire bouquet is growing out of your body. Another tip is to remember to order (or better yet, have your date order) your corsage several weeks ahead of time. As if prom season alone wouldn't keep florists busy enough; it is also the prime time for weddings and Mother's Day falls then too. Also Girls, since you are reading this to relay to your fella; don't forget that you are in charge of ordering the boutonniere. Both of you should pick ribbons and flowers that coordinate with your dress. Pick up the flowers a day or two before your prom and store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
