Silk flowers for proms

Proms have long been a traditional rite-of-passage for American high school graduates, but they are also becoming increasingly popular for school leavers in the UK. It is a big occasion, which acts as the send off for a whole year of students that have spent a lot of time growing up together. At such an event it is very important to create a special feel with the décor. Flowers are a perfect way to achieve this, they can be tailored to fit in with the style of any prom.

Flowers for the prom
Flowers are used at proms to decorate the venue and the tables and they can also be worn on a corsage:

• Corsages: A corsage is a traditional item for a prom. It is a flower arrangement that can be worn on a girl's wrist or pinned to her outfit. The corsage is often chosen by the girls date for the evening. There are many corsages to choose fro, the most important thing to consider when choosing a corsage is to match it to the prom dress. The corsage should be in the same or a complimentary colour to the girls outfit. Although corsages can be chosen in ornate style many girls wish to go for a simple style, which will not over power the whole look.
• Venue decorations: The venue of the prom can be made up with flowers, which can be placed on pedestals, tables and windowsills. Flowers are also sometimes chosen to adorn the back of chairs. Often proms are planned by student representatives, from the school, who will decide on the theme of the evening. A large part of carrying out the theme is to choose the correct decorations for the venue. A prom is an event that needs a party atmosphere and this can be reflected in the flowers chosen to decorate the venue by choosing vibrant colours. This is in contrast to a wedding where a pastel colour palette is a more common choice.
• Table decorations: Most proms will have a sit down meal as part of the evening, with groups of close friends sharing a table so they can enjoy a "last supper" together before all embarking on their separate lives away from the school community. The table decorations are therefore very important. The flower arrangement should be chosen to suit the size of the table and the theme of the prom. A Large table can support a large scale floral arrangement, which would fit in very well with opulent surroundings. Smaller tables or a more modern design will be embellished with simple floral or plant designs.

Silk Flowers
When choosing flowers to decorate a prom there is a choice between fresh flowers and silk flowers. Although newly picked flowers may carry a scent, increasing the impact they have on a room, they loose this very quickly and do not fair well if they have to be moved. Silk flowers, on the other hand, are durable and retain their fresh appearance for a long time. A silk corsage is definitely a good option as it makes a perfect keepsake for the occasion. The other advantage of silk flowers is that they are non-allergenic, unlike fresh flowers, which can cause poor reactions in some people.

Flowers are an important part of a prom, both in the traditional giving and wearing of a corsage and in the decoration of the venue. The flowers should be chosen to fit with the theme of the evening and silk flowers should be strongly considered as there are many reasons that they are more favourable than fresh flowers.
