Y.H.S Prom Recap

 Unlike some guest posters on Prom Flowers who have multiple proms from April to June,

In my  town, Yerington, NV, there is only one high school, and one prom. 

The big event happened a couple weeks ago April 13th.

 

 

Needless to say we made the most of it!

We had lots of new bracelet styles to choose from, beautiful jewelry from

Fitz Design and of course our hand crafted wire cuffs. 

Girls were busy deciding on ribbons and rhinestones while

the boys waited patiently...

 

Orders started piling up & we got to work!

The end result...

These two I thought looked wonderfully vintage..

Callas..
I love this one- it's just so sweet and girly isn't it? 

and this one too..
so glamorous! 

LOVE that they chose the complimentary color yellow for this corsage to
wear with a rich purple dress. Notice the rhinestone spray.. a
tiny flower and dragonfly!

Feathers!..

Here is a (not so good) photo of a boutonniere we did this year
The style is in the simplicity.
Designed on a square of rhinestone fabric
and attached with a magnet.

Chloe's Corsage

I realized the other day that I had forgotten to post about the results of the 

Flirty Fleurs Prom Design contest.

 I had entered 3 designs- 2 I made especially for the contest 

and the third was one from our local prom last year... 

Chloe's corsage.

I'm fortunate to be a florist in a small town 

Fortunate to know most of my customers personally.

 Chloe lives just down the street. 

So I had to smile when I learned that HER corsage was the winner!

Her parents came to the shop with her that afternoon to pick up her corsage. 

I remember as she stood, waiting for her mom to snap the photo, I glanced at her dad 

who was looking proudly at his beautiful daughter, all dressed up- not a little girl any more.

I'll never forget that look..
So proud. so full of love.
and,
just a hint of sadness.

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.
