The Classic White Rose Corsage

This past weekend I created a few wrist corsages and boutonnieres

for a smaller school near us.

I didn't have many orders, but everyone of them requested

white roses in their corsage.

I couldn't resist adding a couple stems of fragrant lily of the Valley to a couple..
I'm lucky since I have it growing right outside my door. So tiny and delicate, Lily of the Valley
is one of the most expensive flowers grown!

Wrist corsage design in gold & black featuring white roses and $$$$ Lily of the Valley accents.

Created to coordinate with a coral dress. featuring white roses and $$$$ Lily of the Valley accents.

A couple of silver styles- we get so many more requests for silver than gold accents
about 80% of our orders.. almost every year.

Silver & black on a silver cuff- with white roses and stock

Silver! bracelet, silver glitter ribbon, silver eyelash ribbon & of course the classic white rose

Custom wire copper leaf design to coordinate with copper & amber
toned jewels on the dress.

Custom copper wire leaf cuff design and matching boutonniere

Sweet pink with the addition of pink hyacinth and white stock blooms.

Girly -girl pink ribbons and whimsical dragonfly & flower accents

Darling little rose buds add just the right touch of green.

Purple ribbons and white roses, rose buds, wax flower and stock blooms.

Hello Kitty goes to prom!

I know there are lots of fans & collectors of this cute cartoon personality out there!

I've been pretty neutral about her/it? until I made this corsage today..

I just may become a fan!

I know wearing a Hello Kitty corsage to prom isn't for everyone...

especially when there are so many more

glamorous & sophisticated choices available....

but..

it IS pretty cute!

Here's what I used....

The last High School Dance of my parenting career

My husband and I have reached a milestone: Our five kids are “all grown up.” Here’s proof – our 18 year old son (the youngest) has registered to vote, registered for selective service, will graduate from high school in a few weeks, and recently attended his last prom ever.

Facing this reality head-on, here is what we did. We opted out of a fun couples’ weekend in Vegas, allowing our son and his friends to use our home as their rendezvous spot. And then I fussed over their prom flowers.

Let me say the teens were amazing, and so gracious about me wanting to get pictures of them, and of all the flowers – I’ll never get another chance, right??

Here is the group photo: Our son, Ian, is in the back row wearing grey and teal.

Here are some detail shots of the prom flowers:

Yellow ranunculus, white hyacinth, black ribbon and gold art wire.

ribbon and art wire.
