When Prom Flowers Meet Fashion Week-

What do you get when you combine Fitz Design prom products 
with the “Fashion Week”of the floral industry?
 A whole lot of gorgeous, trendy body flower designs!
Let me explain...

Fitz Design is the leading provider of keepsake corsage bracelets 
and other floral jewelry that you readers can find at premier
 florists throughout the US. Since my company began distributing the 
Fitz Design line three years ago
 I have enjoyed offering my customers (florists),
and in turn their customers (YOU!) gorgeous bracelets, anklets,
necklaces and hair pieces that are the canvas 
for fabulous corsage and body flower designs.
 Best of all, the Fitz Design products offer a 
detachable design platform that can be removed after the
 prom/homecoming/wedding/dance so that your fabulous  
piece of jewelry can be worn again for
 special occasions or in your everyday life!

This past summer the owner of the Fitz Design company,
Dan Fisher, called and offered me the most exciting opportunity 
of my life - to work with the Fitz Design team at the 
last July. This is like the “Fashion Week” of the floral industry
 - where the top floral designers in the world gather
 to see the latest, trendiest products and designs in the industry. 
It was the equivalent of Betsey Johnson calling me up
 and asking me to work on her team at
Fashion Week in New York! 
It was the experience of a lifetime. I never knew that
flowers and the floral industry could be so EXCITING!

However, it seemed wrong to me that only a few hundred people 
in the world would be able to see this beauty and art.
 Art is meant to be shared...So now, I bring you photos of
some of the most beautiful body and prom flower designs imaginable.
Incorporated in these designs are the
 fashionable new Fitz Design products that will be available from
your local florists for the 2012 prom season. Enjoy the show! 

Eye Candy- New for Prom 2012!
"Eye Candy" - the "blingy slinky" that can be worn as a corsage bracelet, hair piece, ankle piece, or arm band. Versatile... different... trendy... fun...

 "Diamond Horizon" Boutonniere Holder with Gleaming Leaves accent piece.
 
Diamond Strands Hair Piece  
Composite flower wrist corsage
Composite flower design complete with
Gleaming Leaves and Cosmic Rays for a piece that is both unique and elegant.
 
Cascadezz as a boutonniere - New look for Prom 2012
Just because a piece is designed to be worn one way, doesn't mean it HAS to be! Here one of the Cascadezz - wrist corsage bracelet with ring connector - is worn as a boutonniere. Girls - think how stunning this would look on YOUR date! 
Dazzle Line is incorporated into a boutonniere. 
Sheba Cascadezz new for Prom 2012
 This is a new style of the Cascadezz being released for 2012. The name is Sheba. I was privileged to wear this piece to a black tie dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was! Who says you have to sacrifice comfort for fashion? Not with Fitz!

The Fireworks accent piece attaches nicely to one of the Fitz floral rings. Three simple components make one stunning statement ring.

The new for 2012 Flourish boutonniere holder 
For the princess in you... enjoy one of the Fitz Design Tiaras.


Meet Delilah - no, she is not one of the models. She is the finger to elbow piece shown  on the right. If you plan on being a wallflower for the evening, then this is not the piece for you. However, if you want to stand out from the crowd - Delilah will help you shine!

 
Cascading corsage made with the Showgirl piece.
Trendsetter Bracelet
  Trendsetter adjustable bracelet. No... its not just for wrists! Perfect accent for the short dresses that we are seeing for 2012.

 If you see a product here
that your local florist is not featuring,
   We will help put you in contact with someone who can. 
We have a network of florists throughout the US
  that will be more than happy to design a unique corsage or body
flower design to make your prom ensemble absolutely perfect!

When Proms hit England...



When I was a teenager leaving school, we had a leavers disco which was held in the school hall and if I remember correctly I did not even go.  I know that the very fact that I am talking about it this way means that you know I am old....... er than some of you.


But then the American style prom hit the next generation...... limousines, make up, hair up, hair down, eyelashes tinted, eyebrows waxed and not to mention the DRESS.... the wonderful prom dress that has to be different, has to be perfect, has to be just right!!  Prom goers don't know where they are going, they have to have a passport, and a date and OMG (as they say) prom day is planned like a wedding with all the usual trimmings and more.

So something is missing right???  Yeah right!!  The flowers, the English girls forgot about the flowers... how could they?   How could they not realise that a wrist corsage of beautiful Roses or Orchids adorned with diamante, pearl and ribbon can help to set you apart from the crowd.

However, slowly but surely we are changing that and whilst our corsage orders are not huge, they are there and year on year they are getting that bit more adventurous.  I am educating our girls and their mums one by one.   It is going to be a long process but by hook or by crook we will get there.

So, what do our girls like?  Well, like all girls in general, they like diamante, they like pearls.  They like satin ribbon looped and draped.  They like a single Gerbera daisy or a spray of delicate Roses.  A funky Phalanopsis Orchid or a vintage Ranunculous.

But for me, a picture tells a thousand words so here are some of the designs we have come up with for our English girls.....


A funky wrist corsage with black and white accessories.

Cerise and orange peonies designed with unique in mind.

Mini Eden spray roses and gysophelia help create this pretty in pink corsage.

Black and silver sheer ribbon creates a contemporary feel to this black and white corsage.
 
Gerbera and bling, what more can I say??
Thanks for letting me share our English ways, with love Paula xx

Add some *ZING* to Your Prom Flowers!

Ho-hum, white roses,.. again?
#1 - Don't be afraid to work with colorful flowers.
Just like the newest looks in prom dress are featuring bold patterns and vibrant tones, your flowers can have the same personality. This lovely couple wanted a little *pop* of color against their simple black attire. Tinted blue orchids added that fun accent they were looking for!
 


Blue orchid wrist corsage
Blue orchid boutonnere

 
A tropical themed dress begs for some hot tropical colored flowers. This matching set of mini carnations and mini Phalenopsis orchids and the FABULOUS new Sashaba tie dyed rose makes a colorful and fun statement.


Orchid and tie dye Sashaba rose
Even though we are seeing more couples opt for new flower varieties (alstromeria, freesia, mini callas, & mmmm orchids) many still opt for the classic white sweetheart rose corsage. Not to worry, you can still add some personality to these simple blooms with glittery accents, painted tips, & sparkle.
Aqua glitter tipped white sweetheart rose boutonnere
White rose boutonniere with aqua glitter tip accent. No there are no aqua flowers but, yes - we can compliment this popular color very well!
White aqua glitter tipped roses with crystal accents
Aqua glittered white sweetheart roses with Matching  sheer aqua ribbon and crystal accents. A terrific rhinestone bracelet was added as keepsake gift for this lucky girl!

White sweetheart rose wristlet with decorative wire accent. Just a touch of crazy wire adds a little something that takes this corsage out of the 'ordinary' category.

Whether your look is bold and contemporary or traditional and classic, add some personality to 
your prom flowers. 
After all,.. they should reflect YOU!

Purple glitter tipped roses. Fun!
