Bring a photo of the dress
Colour names are unreliable. A photo gets it right the first time.
Occasion
Prom & homecoming flowers in Tampa
Corsages and boutonnieres, made fresh the day before rather than assembled a week early and refrigerated stiff.
Prom weekends are concentrated — a whole school orders in the same three days — so order at least a week out. Bring the dress colour, ideally a photo, because “blue” covers an enormous range and a corsage that clashes is worse than no corsage.
A practical note nobody mentions: wrist corsages need to survive dancing. We build them on comfortable stretch bands with flowers that do not shatter when knocked, which rules out some of the softer options that look great in a photo and disintegrate by nine.

questions
Anything else, the phone is the fastest way — we're open 24 hours.
How far ahead should I order a prom corsage?
At least a week. Prom weekends concentrate an entire school's orders into a few days, so late orders get whatever is left rather than what you wanted.
Wrist corsage or pin-on?
Wrist is more common now and easier with most dresses. Pin-on suits a structured neckline or a jacket. Tell us the outfit and we will recommend one.
Can you match my dress colour?
Yes, and bring a photo rather than a colour name. “Blue” spans a lot of ground, and a clashing corsage is genuinely worse than none.
Will a corsage survive the whole night?
Ours are built for it — flowers that do not shatter when knocked, on a comfortable band. The ones that fall apart by nine are usually built from the softest, prettiest options for the photo.
Do you do matching boutonnieres?
Yes, and ordering the pair together is the easiest way to guarantee they actually match.
