The perfect corsage - choosing the perfect flower for prom night

Your prom is a one-time event where everyone will be wanting to look their best. It's easy to overlook the "small" things that will make all the difference - like the flowers for your date.

Guys - don't forget that you're expected to take some flowers to your date - preferably in the form of a corsage that matches her dress and that you'll need to order them in plenty of time.

You might want to check with your date what sort of flowers she would like - although corsages are traditional, small bouquets are becoming more popular.

If you're considering making a wrist corsage, you can find ideas on how to make a wrist corsage at AC Moore or Flower Arrangement Advisor for a step by step approach - although this is designed for wedding flowers - I'm sure you can adapt it.

To see pictures of wrist corsages for dances or proms, visit Creative Necessities florists - you can choose exactly what you want online and either copy it at home or order it.

If you're not sure what sort of corsage to order, make sure you check the colour with your date to ensure that it will match her prom gown.

Ladies - don't forget to order a lovely boutonnière from your florist for your date.
