Inspired by Wire -New Ideas for Corsages

After being inspired by Rhonda's designs (read about them here)

create!

Prom Trends - It's all about your style!!

I was asked about prom trends recently.

Sure there are the colors that stand out from one year to the next, 

or ways to wear a corsage, or even the type of flowers used. 

But I see a stronger trend that's been gaining momentum in the 

last couple of years..

INDIVIDUALITY 

Lets go back just 7 (or so) short years ago.

Most prom corsages were seen as a lovely sentimental tradition exchanged before 

the big night in front of an excited parent's flashing camera.  

The corsage and boutonniere at that time was a one size fits all style usually in white 

(because it went with everything)

Although still a lovely tradition, corsages are NOT  'one size fits all' anymore!

 it's an additional accessory, like a piece of jewelry, that can 

compliment your look perfectly.
