During the spring ,there are many happy events to celebrate –  and the high school prom is a rite of passage, and one of the most anticipated of this season’s occasions. From the nervous invitation to the limo ride home the event is comprised of many long-held traditions. Among these traditions is that of giving formal flowers to your date – in fact, we couldn’t imagine this iconic dance without corsages and boutonnieres! When you are preparing to attend your Marco Island area prom, make sure to call Marco Island Florist Home & Gifts. We’ve been providing formal and wearable flowers for proms since 1980 – and we have all of the designs you are looking for to make your night special.

Don’t Forget! Wearable flowers are the ideal choice for other special events as well. Order a sophisticated boutonniere for your handsome graduate, or a graceful corsage for Mom to wear on Mother’s Day!  For any spring occasion that needs an extra beautiful touch, our floral designers are here to help.

Traditionally, corsages were pinned to the bodice of a dress. Many contemporary prom-goers prefer a wrist corsage, which consists of flowers arranged on a decorative bracelet or band, Fastening the flowers to a shoulder strap or even a waistband is still an option, however, and the final choice often relies on the style of dress. 

Did You Know? The first floral corsages were worn in ancient times to ward off evil spirits and deadly diseases. Corsages (and boutonnieres) often utilized herbs as well, as they were thought to have similar protective properties.

Prom comes around just once a year, but Marco Island Florist Home & Gifts is here throughout the year to make sure that your special event is adorned with the freshest, most beautifully and artistically designed flowers. Whether you need a corsage, nosegay bouquet, boutonniere or custom hairpiece, give us a call. Let us make sure your spring events are gorgeous!
