Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Discuss with your date the basic colors you both plan to wear to the prom. A prom dress may be one solid color, or it may contain several hues. Determine the predominant color and work from there.
Step2
If your date is female, ask whether she prefers a wrist or pin-on corsage. All male boutonnieres should be worn pinned to the lapel.
Step3
Determine whether your date has any favorite flowers that should be incorporated into the arrangement.
Step4
Call local florists to gauge prices and to get a sense of flower varieties, colors and costs. Order the flower arrangement at least two weeks before the dance.
Step5
Pick up the flowers the day before, or the day of, the prom to insure maximum freshness and perkiness.

on 11/22/2005 Make sure that the color matches the dress. How many different shades of green are there? When possible, use a fabric swatch. You don't want a sea-green corsage with a forest-green dress.
