When should I order prom flowers in Genesee County?

Question

Accepted Answer

Order prom corsages and boutonnieres at least two weeks before the dance, and earlier if your school's prom falls on a peak weekend in April or May. Placing the order two to three weeks out guarantees your first-choice flowers and colors during the busiest floral stretch of spring. Prom season in the Flint and Burton area clusters into a handful of April and May weekends, and those same weekends often overlap with Mother's Day and graduation. That means florists are at their busiest exactly when students need corsages. Ordering two to three weeks ahead lets us reserve specialty flowers like orchids, order the exact ribbon colors, and schedule your pickup without a scramble. Last-minute orders can usually be filled, but choices narrow and specialty blooms may sell out. Three to four weeks out, decide on the style and colors once the outfits are settled. Two to three weeks out, place the order with your designer — this is the sweet spot. A few days before, confirm your pickup time. The day before or the morning of prom, pick the corsage up so it is at its freshest. If several friends are coordinating as a group, order together so the designs share a consistent look. Plan to pick up your flowers the day before or the morning of the dance. Store them in the refrigerator in their clear box, never the freezer, and give them a light mist of water. Take them out about an hour before you leave so they are not cold to the touch during photos. If your prom is out of town or runs late, ask our designers about the sturdiest flower choices so everything looks fresh from first photo to last dance.
