Prom 2012 -- The last High School Dance of my parenting career

My husband and I have reached a milestone:  Our five kids are “all grown up.” Here’s proof – our 18 year old son (the youngest) has registered to vote, registered for selective service, will graduate from high school in a few weeks, and recently attended his last prom ever.

Facing this reality head-on, here is what we did.  We opted out of a fun couples’ weekend in Vegas, allowing our son and his friends to use our home as their rendezvous spot.  And then I fussed over their prom flowers.

Let me say the teens were amazing, and so gracious about me wanting to get pictures of them, and of all the flowers – I’ll never get another chance, right??

Here is the group photo:  Our son, Ian, is in the back row wearing grey and teal.

Here are some detail shots of the prom flowers:

Yellow ranunculus, white hyacinth, black ribbon and gold art wire.

 Miniature cymbidium orchids, hyacinth, a pearl beaded wristlet and corsage constructed in a soft gold ribbon rosette.  Boutonniere finished with ribbon and art wire.

 Beaded wristlet with hot pink ribbon, laser leaves, orchid and hyacinth. A rhinestone butterfly is hiding in there somewhere.

 Similar boutonniere made of three white hyacinth blossoms, hot pink ribbon laser leaves, a rhinestone butterfly and art wire.

 Yellow ranunculus, white miniature cymbidium orchids, hot pink boronia flower, ivory ribbon, and pearl-beaded art wire.

White hyacinth and orchids finished with ostrich fluff, bling flowers and white ribbon.  The corsage was on a teal bracelet.

Prom 2012 at White Iris Designs

When you say the name White Iris Designs in Lafayette, people know that you are not going to get something that you would get at a traditional flower shop. We do very creative & unique arrangements here at the shop from our everyday arrangements to Wedding & Events. 

When it comes to Prom, nothing changes! 

The girls deserve something fun & unique, not something that Grandma would wear. 

 The Prom dresses that the girls are wearing now are not boring!

 They are fun and funky, so the flowers should be as well!

We love to see the dress so that we can see the color and if it has a funky pattern we can play off of. We use a lot of bling in the corsages. Our wristlets are not your standard satin/elastic wrist band! They are a beaded or gemstone wristlet that they can take the flowers off when they die, and use the wristlet as a bracelet. 

Prom time can be challenging at times but for the most part it is a fun time! Sometimes it is hard to get the Mother’s to trust us with doing funky colors & styles for their girls’. We have been doing this for years and hardly ever have someone complain that it wasn’t what they expected/wanted. 

We can also do elegant as well. Not everything has to be funky. If you’ve got a very elegant dress, then the flowers will be done with that in mind.

 Details, details, details!

We love the details and you will love your Prom flowers because of that!
