Prom season is a time for celebration and memories, and the right flowers can have a big impact. If you’re considering sending prom flowers to your date or even purchasing some for yourself, there are a few important factors to keep in mind. Find out more in the following guide.

What You Should Know About Buying Prom Flowers

1. Decide Who Pays

Traditionally, the male date was expected to pay for a corsage, while the female partner is expected to choose her preferred prom flowers and to pay for the boutonniere. Today, however, many couples choose to split the costs and to choose their flowers together. This may even be a better option, since both partners can pick something that will pair well with their clothing for the evening.

2. Order Early

Prom season can run from the spring to mid-summer. As students across the country look for the perfect prom flowers, demand will increase and it can become a challenge to find the flowers you had in mind. In order to avoid this issue, it’s a good idea to pre-order your flowers, which will also give you plenty of time to choose something that will complement the colors of your formal wear or the theme of the event.

3. Know How to Wear It

Boutonnieres, generally, can only be worn in the left lapel of a formal jacket. If you plan to wear a corsage, you’ll have a greater range of options to choose from. In addition to the traditional placement on the wrist, prom-goers can wear a corsage on the upper chest near the shoulder or attached to a handbag or clutch. Alternatively, you can wear a corsage in your hair to protect it.
