How to Add Flowers to Your Prom Night
Flowers are an essential part of prom decor and come in a variety of colors, varieties, and forms. Some common ways to include flowers are:
Corsages and Boutonnières
These are the most common prom flowers. Corsage flowers are worn by females on the wrist or pinned to the dress while a boutonnière is pinned to a male’s suit lapel.
Wrist Corsages
The most common type is the wrist corsage bracelet. They are made with flowers and pinned to an elastic band.
Hand Corsages
This type is held in the hand and features larger flower arrangements. They are typically made with roses, calla lilies, or orchids.
