Prom 2008 FAQ How long can I wait to order my dress for the prom to get it in time? It is important to remember the prom 2008 season is also peak wedding season and many times also falls on Mother's Day weekend; therefore, popular dresses such as the satin gown, favorite exotic sequined glamor prom dress and certain 2008 prom fabrics used to create decorative dresses are in very high demand. Please take time in ordering at least two weeks in advance so your prom 2008 online retailer has time to order the necessary quantities should ensure that you get what you really want. Your date for the prom will be happy that you did. What is the hottest corsage for 2008 proms? Two popular 2008 styles are wrist corsages and small hand-held nosegays. Popular flowers are mini (or sweetheart) roses, dendrobium orchids, standard roses, alstroemeria lilies and other small flowers such as freesia and cornflowers.

How can I let my date know what type of flowers I really want?

If you have your heart set on a particular corsage style or type of prom flower, there is nothing wrong with letting your date know what you would like. Again, you might suggest going to the florist shop together so you can order his boutonniere to match your corsage. You could also show him or her a few photos of prom flowers and ask what he or she would like for his or her boutonniere. Be sure you also have a photo of what you want. Traditionally, men wear the boutonniere. However, some styles use the boutonniere for dresses or a woman's outfit.

What is the type of corsage to go best with my strapless dress?

Both a wrist corsage or a hand-held nosegay. Flowers for your hair (up-do) or neck or corsages pinned to an evening bag are also terrific choices. Talk to your parents or florist about the options and ask to see 2006 and 2007 photos of these different styles.

Does my florist make something special just for me? Will I have to choose a ribbon?

Certainly, prom florists know how important prom flowers are to their young customers and will be happy to work with you to make a special corsage for prom 2008. Prom florists are experts at customization. Show the dress or a swatch of the fabric from your favorite dress to your online or local florist and ask him or her to select an appropriate ribbon. You may ask to see what ribbons they have on hand and choose one yourself.

My budget is short. Are there cheap flowers but still classy?

Please let your florist know what your budget is and ask him or her for ideas. An inexpensive flower used in a tile corsage style can be just as beautiful as a more expensive prom bloom. Alstroemeria lilies are a good choice, as are mini carnations. But your florist will know what the best value is. Choose carnations as a last resort unless they are a unique color or style.

How can I dry a corsage later for my scrap book?

This depends; there are a number of drying methods. Some florists can freeze-dry your corsage, but this can be an extremely expensive process. Simple methods include silica pellets and powders or gel. Ask your florist for recommendations. We recomend lemon juice or a food preservative and drying it upside down. However, please ask a professional.
