Tips on Prom Flowers in New Hyde Park

Prom is one of the most important events in teenager’s life and something that is remembered for years. 

Since prom is coming soon, it is time to go to your local florist and order that perfect corsage and boutonniere.

The owner of , Bruce, gave the New Hyde Park Patch these tips and insights on trends this year.

• This year’s popular item is adding rhinestones to the corsage. Each rose, usually four for a corsage, will have a rhinestone. What has also become more popular is adding lace.
• Wrist corsages made of sweetheart roses and white roses are top choices for prom this year, as they are most years. Dendrobium orchids and Alstroemeria lilies are also excellent choices for your corsage.
• Many seem to go with white roses with ribbon or lace in the color of the girl's dress.
• Order your corsages and boutonniere’s approximately seven to 10 days before you will need them. Keep in mind this is also peak wedding season and certain flowers are in high demand. To ensure your corsage is exactly as you would like, take the time to place your orders early.
• Bringing a swatch of the dress is helpful in picking out the right ribbon/lace.
