It's Fall! Let's Dance!

Corsages and Boutonnieres

Fall has arrived! This means football Sundays, fall leaves and for high school students: dance season. Whether you’re a senior and an old pro at ordering your date’s floral accessories or you’re a freshman who is new to this stuff, let us guide you through ordering your corsages and boutonnieres.
Here is a list of tips to make ordering this year a breeze!
1. Often times when ordering a corsage or a boutonniere we will ask you what your date is wearing; that way we will be able to match the boutonniere or corsage to their dance ensemble.
a. For example, if wearing black or white or both you can match white flowers with a black ribbon or go opposite and make it bright and colorful to offset the dress
b. If your date is wearing an obscure color like teal or baby blue, (that flowers are not normallly found in) you may need to find an accent color that goes and do the wrist ribbon in that color. The other option would be to spray paint a few of the flowers.
2. Another good tip is to order in advance, that way we will have enough time to get exactly what you have in mind. The more time we have, the more unique and interesting we can make it.
3. For corsages, we mainly use spray roses along with other smaller accent flowers depending on the color and size you want it. We also use orchids, Gerbera daisy pedals, alstroemeria, kalanchoe buds, and larkspur. All of our corsages are tied on the wrist with the ribbon of your choice because we have found they stay on best that way. We also however, have rhinestone bracelet corsages for 7 dollars more if you want to be a little fancier.
a. For longest lasting corsages, place in the fridge door before the dance
b. For the most secure corsages, tie a knot at the bottom of the wrist and then again at the top underneath the flower portion.
4. We typically use roses for a boutonniere for the gentlemen’s floral adornment, which gets pinned on to his vest or lapel. However, there are other flowers that can be used as well, like Calla Lilies, Freesia, and mini roses.
5. All of our corsages are $30 and all of our boutonnieres are $15.
