No matter the age, a first prom is extra special for any high school girl. There's plenty to think of when it comes to deciding on a dress, getting the perfect makeup or finding a place to eat.

Inspirational Friday – Prom
Prom time is here. Need inspiration for prom corsages, boutonnieres or dresses? This week's Inspirational Friday will focus on all things prom.
Prom is all about showing off your unique style. You can go with bright colors, wild prints, feathers, sequins, lights or keep it neutral. It's completely up to you, no matter what's on trend. However, we're seeing lots of pastels, floral prints, metallics, textured dresses and the ombre effect as well. We are loving these trends and would love to see you at prom as well. So, send us those pictures at social@weddingandpartynetwork.com
Top Trends in Prom Corsages & Boutonnieres
The big night is coming. It’s the peak of your high school life, and it should be perfect. If you have your dress, you’re ready to pick your flowers. Your florist is ready to take a look at your colors and create a corsage and boutonniere just for you! Here are the top trends in corsages and boutonnieres (don’t forget the boys!):
Classic Style
Popular prom flowers are much the same varieties as wedding flowers, as prom is usually a romantic night spent dressed to the nines. Roses and orchids have topped the prom flower list for a very long time and don’t seem to be going anywhere. Pair them with classic fillers, like baby’s breath, for a time-honored look.
Mix It Up with Succulents
Dare to be different! Succulents are funky and fun, and highly varied in style. It’s easy to pair succulents with either flowers or other succulents. Combine them with pearls and jewels for a modernly elegant look or vintage lace for rustic charm. The best part is that succulents require very little care, so you can keep your corsage and boutonniere for a long time after the prom.
Add a Little Bling
One of the best ways to stand out is to sparkle as much as possible! Your florist has incredible varieties of bling to choose from. Beaded and rhinestone cuffs can be combined with jewels, lights, pearls and glitter to create a custom corsage that will show up brightly under the prom night lights.
Alternative to the Wrist Corage
Seeing wrist corsages all over the dance floor and in every magazine photo…and not really feeling it? Ask your florist about floral jewelry and hairpieces. There’s lots of inspiration out there for floral necklaces, rings, belts, headbands, hair picks, and even flowers for your handbag. Flowers can be incorporated into just about any sort of wearable.
Matching
Consider going with your date to pick out flowers. On one hand, it’s a joy to be surprised by your date’s pick. But on the other, it’s also really fun if you perfectly match! Bring fabric swatches or photos of your outfits (taken in natural lighting for the best color match) and be the most coordinated couple on the floor.
It’s your special night. Whatever you want, you should have. Your choice in flowers will reflect the person you’ve become over your years in school, and your florist is ready to create your vision! Try to give plenty of prior notice – remember, your classmates are heading to the florist shop, too. Make your prom night the most memorable night of high school life!
Top Prom Dress Trends for 2014
Prom 2014 is coming up fast, and with fashion that is always changing, it's easy to not quite know where to begin your shopping spree for the perfect dress. If you're looking to be on trend this prom season, it's all about feminine details and color.
Nudes and Mint: Mint green has been a popular choice of color for clothing and jewelry for a while, but now it is making it's way to prom dresses. Nude, pink and mint are very compatible, so look forward to seeing these colors together. It seems that bright colors have almost always been popular at prom, and while they definitely will appear this season, mint and various nudes are beautiful and feminine on a gown.
Lace: While extremely popular in the bridal market, lace is finally making its way to prom. Lace is the ultimate feminine detail and will mainly show itself in overlays and in the neckline of dresses. This feature will most likely accompany the nude theme.
Overlays: Wearing a short dress to prom has increased in popularity in recent years, but what if you're not so sure you want to take the plunge? Well, this year those short hemlines may be extended with a sheer overlay, giving you the best of both worlds. This trend also really highlights long legs, which is always a plus.
Hi-Lo Dresses: This style also combines both lengths since these dresses are above the knee in the front and gradually go long as you move to the back. Hi-lo is extremely popular in casual clothing as well and does a good job of breaking out of the traditional mold when it comes to formal wear. And if you are a fan of all of the trends, you can most likely find a hi-lo dress that combines them, with lace detail at the top and in a nude or mint color.
Most of you have been shopping for your dress, if you haven't already purchased your dress, but if not, keep these trends in mind.
