About Me

I am a very close friend of Donn Flipse, Jen Stabile and other associates of Field of Flowers, based in Davie Florida. I share with them a love of flowers and plants, the business of selling them, and a desire to learn more about them. Via my blog I hope to find other people of similar interests and provide them with interesting and entertaining information.

Behind the Tradition...


Prom flowers have been a long and popular tradition. Both the corsage and the boutonniere have existed for many years and are essential for a successful prom.

It's customary for the man to buy the corsage for his date. The corsage can be worn as a pin-on or on the wrist. It's also a good idea to know what color dress your date is wearing so that the corsage you choose does not clash.

Traditionally girls buy the boutonniere for their dates. A boutonniere is worn as a pin-on and placed on the right lapel.

Corsages and boutonnieres can be made in many different styles using a variety of flowers such as, roses, orchids and carnations. If you are undecided what flowers to choose roses are the number one favorite! The great thing about roses is that they look great, smell great and act as a perfect fall back choice if you can't decide what to choose.

So remember, the key to a successful prom is to enjoy yourself, have a wonderful time and prom flowers are one great way to ensure that happens!
