Prom Flower Etiquette

Prom flower selection is an opportunity to showcase your unique style and look your best on one of the most memorable moments in life.

When attending prom with a date, it is customary to give your date a corsage or boutonniere. Ladies traditionally wear a corsage. Gentlemen traditionally wear a boutonniere.

The keyword here is, “tradition.” It’s perfectly okay to break from traditions and dare to think of flowers as your unique fashion accessory. Consider a floral hairpiece or attach flowers to a dress sash to accentuate the waistline.

We invite couples and friends to come in and make their selections together. Before you arrive, agree who will pay for what and have a maximum budget in mind. We also recommend bringing a fabric swatch or a good close-up photo of your attire, to match to the ribbon, so the colors do not clash.

Unless your date specifically asks for something different, we suggest the wrist corsage as a gown accessory, not only as the modern preference, but also to avoid potential damage to expensive designer dresses.

At Studley’s, you’ll visit our Prom Station to choose from select flowers, ribbons and embellishments to build your corsage or boutonniere. Prices for each selection are clearly marked, so you can keep track of your budget as you build.

We make prom flower selection simple with just 3 steps:

1. Choose Style & Color – We’ll provide a selection of design styles and color options for you to choose from.
2. Choose Ribbon – We have a wide range of colors and choices from sheer to solid. Remember your fabric swatch!
3. Choose Embellishments – Opt to accent with beaded, sequined or glitter accessories.

Not a traditionalist? No worries – just let us know how we can help you to make a selection that is uniquely you!

What’s your style? Eclectic? Bold & Daring? Take the Flower Factor Prom Quiz and find out!

Once your selection is made, opt to pay by cash, credit or debit card and tell us when you would like to pick-up your order.

While our in-store Prom Station has endless possible design combinations, you can get ideas and find a great selection when you shop Studley’s Prom Floral Collection online.

See you at Studley’s!
