How far in advance should I order my flowers for the prom?
It is important to remember that prom season is also wedding season.

Therefore, popular flowers used to create decorative body flowers are in high demand. 

You need to order TWO weeks in advance. We usually cut off orders due to demand, so order early. We hope to have new photos up this week. Wrist Corsages start off at $30 each. We use pearl bracelets, rhinestones, ribbon and usually roses or orchids for our standard wrist corsage. Boutineers start off at $12 depending on the flower.

Should my date's boutonniere match my corsage?
It is not necessary, the idea is to blend your flowers, they do not have to be the same.

Will I make something special just for you? Can you choose a ribbon?
Certainly. I know how important prom flowers are to you and I will be happy to work with you to make a special corsage. I love customization, I don't like to use everyday White Roses, I prefer to use different flowers, unique to you and your personality. You can certainly pick your ribbon, but many corsages don't even use ribbon this year.

What is the hottest corsage for proms?
Popular styles are wrist corsages, flower bracelets, flower rings and small hand-held nosegays. Popular flowers are freesia, dendrobium orchids, green button poms, alstroemeria, stock blooms, delphinum, etc. Roses and Carnations are not the only flowers you can use, be DIFFERENT!

How do I let my date know what type of flowers I really want?
If you have your heart set on a certain corsage style or type of flower, then there is nothing wrong with letting your date know what you would like. You might suggest going come to shop together so you can order his boutonniere to match your corsage. You could also show him a few photos of flowers and ask what he would like for his boutonniere.

My budget is limited. Are there less expensive flowers that won't make me look "cheap"?
The cost of a corsage is mostly labor, they take a while to make, and they start at $30.

What are the differences in Corsages?
Typically, a corsage for the wrist is on a elastic band, that is extremely itchy and uncomfortable. I don't use those, we  use  Pearl Bracelet that has flowers glued on.
