Kremp Florist Designs Unique Prom Flowers for Students

Your daughter’s prom may seem a bit different from the big dance you remember from your high school days, but one thing hasn’t changed: the custom of dates exchanging flowers. Roses, a popular floral variety, are still used in corsages, boutonnieres, and prom bouquets. From traditional to trendy, Kremp Florist is skilled in creating floral designs to perfectly compliment your prom look. Order prom flowers online by browsing Kremp Florist’s many offerings, or visit the flower shop to consult an associate about your perfect floral accessory.

Types of Prom Flowers

Traditional Corsages

Corsages are traditionally worn on the wrist or pinned onto a dress. With today’s elaborate prom attire, though, wrist corsages that won’t damage expensive fabric are the most popular choice. Classic wrist corsages are composed of spray roses, baby’s breath, and light greenery. Spray roses come in a wide variety of colors like white, pink, yellow, red, and lavender. A coordinating ribbon color can be chosen to match the wearer’s dress or compliment it. The corsage flowers are typically arranged in an oval shape on an understated elastic band that fits securely on the wrist.

Unique Corsages

Unique corsages best compliment some prom looks. Interesting blooms such as delphinium, alstroemeria, hypericum berries, dendrobium orchids, and cymbidium orchids can be used to create one-of-a-kind prom designs. Accents such as rhinestone sprays, metallic-painted leaves or berries, or wire can also make corsages pop. If you know your date loves glitz, consider requesting flowers dusted in glitter. Prom goers can also upgrade the corsage wristband to include rhinestones, pearls, beads, or a slap bracelet. Browse the Internet for inspirational corsage images or come in to Kremp Florist to look at the selection of sample corsages to find the right fit for you.

Prom Bouquets

Prom bouquets that the recipient carries are an alternative to corsages. The bouquets resemble a small bridesmaid bouquet, and can be designed in a plethora of colors and styles. A clutch of six or twelve roses with baby’s breath gives a classic look. On the other hand, a wildflower bouquet of garden varieties will compliment a bohemian prom style. The bouquet’s stems are wrapped with a ribbon color of your choice to create a comfortable handle for your date.

Boutonnieres

It’s not just the girls who get to have all the fun with prom flowers. Guys can get in on the action too with stunning boutonnieres from Kremp Florist. Roses and spray roses paired with baby’s breath are an ever-popular choice for boutonnieres because they are long lasting and come in an array of colors to match their date’s flowers. However, Kremp Florist also offers unique boutonnieres that will have classmates doing a double take. Accents like small branches, looped grasses, and raffia ribbon details can make your boutonniere special.

Silk Prom Flowers

While Kremp Florist carries fewer varieties of silk prom flowers than fresh, there are certain advantages of purchasing these permanent blooms. For example, silk prom corsages can be bought far in advance and you’ll never have to worry about wilting or special storage. Silk prom flowers can also be reused for popular students who will be attending more than one prom. When you choose silk prom flowers, you will get exactly what you see as they are not subject to variation like fresh flowers. Consider the advantages and disadvantages when deciding whether real flowers or silk flowers best fit your needs.

FAQs About Ordering Prom Flowers Online - ANSWERED!

What is more popular: a bouquet or a corsage for prom?

Both bouquets and corsages are popular choices for prom-goers of all ages, and both can be created from fresh or silk flowers. Consider you or your date’s preferences when choosing between a bouquet or corsage. Bouquets have the advantage of being larger and more showy, but corsages are more convenient because they can be worn on the wrist, leaving you “hands free!” Corsages do not have a source of water, which can cause them at times to have a shorter lifespan than bouquets. On the other hand, bouquets will arrive in a vase of water so watch out for spills when you’re in your prom-finest. Corsages look stunning on wrists, but the blossoms may compete with long sleeve dresses. The decision all comes down to personal preferences and both are great choices for prom flowers. 

What are the most popular flowers for corsages and boutonnieres?

By far the most popular flower for prom would be roses. However, you can get unique blooms such as delphinium, alstroemeria or even calla lilies! If you want something more unique, you can always trust our designers to choose the best flowers to match the dress. 

What are the most popular flowers for prom bouquets?

Roses are also often featured in prom bouquets. One of Kremp Florist’s most popular bouquets includes your choice of 6 or 12 roses accented by lovely white baby’s breath and greenery. Flowers like hydrangea, alstroemeria, carnations, stock, statice, and mini calla lilies also look stunning in prom bouquets. 

What flowers will match my dress?

Kremp Florist can help you choose beautiful flowers to compliment your attire. You can match the dress by selecting flowers in the same hue as the gown, but you should expect some natural color variation among all flowers because they are a product of nature. White flowers also coordinate well with most ensembles. Ribbons and decorative accents like gems can also be used to tie in the colors that nature left out such as teal, aqua, mint green, or burgundy. Other prom-goers choose to contrast their outfits, selecting hot pink flowers to compliment a black dress or orange flowers to pop against a navy blue gown. 

How should I care for my prom flowers?

Kremp Florist includes written care instructions with all prom flowers. The experts recommend having your prom flowers delivered or picked up on (or as close as possible) to the day you will use them. Corsages, bouquets, and boutonnieres can be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sun or extreme cold. Some people believe in refrigerating their flowers before prom, but beware that some fridge settings can cause flowers to freeze, damaging the designs. 

When should I order my prom flowers?

You can order your prom flowers as soon as you have selected your outfits and know the date of your prom. Many people place their orders about 2 weeks prior to the big night. This allows Kremp Florist time to order in any special blooms or supplies necessary for creating your design. But don’t worry if prom is approaching and you haven’t talked to a florist yet. Kremp’s associates can help you order prom flowers online, over the phone, or in the store at any time. 

How can I make sure my date picks flowers I like?

Consider shopping for prom flowers together with your date. Or, you can send your date inspiration photos and give him or her the names of your favorite flowers. Kremp Florist can translate your inspiration photos into a corsage, boutonniere, or bouquet that you will love on the day of your prom. Ordering well in advance will also ensure that the flowers you request are available on your special day. 

Should the corsage/bouquet and boutonniere match?

Speaking of shopping together, many couples wonder whether or not their flowers should match. There is nothing wrong with choosing flowers you love, even if they don’t match your date’s flowers! Or, you may want to surprise your date with flowers, rather than having them in on the planning. However, boutonnieres, bouquets, and corsages can be matched just like ties and dresses. Matching flowers will create a polished look in person and in photos. Flowers can also be coordinated if you don’t like a “matchy-matchy” look. Choosing complimentary flowers and finishing them with the same ribbon will show that the flowers were planned, while also giving a casual vibe. 

Are there any options besides bouquets and corsages?

Yes, Kremp Florist can create unique prom designs to decorate your hair, your purse, or pocket square. Some customers have rocked floral arm cuffs, flower crowns, or tiny flower rings at their proms. Contact Kremp Florist well in advance to order a unique and custom prom accessory.
