Prom Posies do not always Pose Problems, people! Prom Ponderings Part II

by

Sorry guys, got a little carried away with the Prom Posies alliteration.  Our prom etiquette post sprouted searches genuinely looking for information on prom posies, so we thought we’d oblige.  Customer service! Just like at the store 🙂

A prom posy is a small bouquet that can be given to a young lady by her prom date, (or a good friend or loving parent) as a substitute for a corsage.  Some girls are finding corsages unwieldy, and some just like the idea of carrying a little something, but prom posies are a growing trend that is only going to get more popular as we gear up for Prom 2011

Prom posies also give your friendly floral designer a chance to work creatively with ribbon and different blooms in ways that just don’t work with a corsage structure.  Additionally, when made with flowers that dry well, they can make beautiful keepsakes of a special evening. Just ask your florist to work with flowers that will dry successfully, or investigate a flower preservation service in your area.

If you decide not to save your posy, know this: in Victorian times, the meaning of flowers was practically a spoken language as it was one of the only socially acceptable ways to flirt.  Posies were messages between sweethearts to be decoded bloom by bloom. So be careful if you give away your prom posies girls, you might be giving away your hearts too.

Ah, youth. Parents of prom-goers? Stop by the store anytime- to order flowers, or for a complimentary daisy, a symbol of patience.

OK so we’re event designers, not the Sugar Hill Gang.  But if your hotel lobby flowers do start acting up, let us know.  Here is a recent lobby arrangement from the Esmeralda Renaissance resort and spa, a great Palm Springs wedding location (or Palm Desert wedding location, or Indian Wells wedding location).  2011 wedding trends are towards the economical: and if you’ve read previous blogs about budget conscious wedding locations like Country Clubs, then you know places that come with onsite staff, catering, rentals and parking can save big chunks of your wedding budget.  And if you’re having a destination wedding, who wouldn’t want to come to a beautiful resort? And that’s where the Esmeralda Renaissance Palm Spring Resort and Spa comes into play. As you can see, we do the lobby flowers each week, and love to work there for events which we do regularly. We have some coming up!  What about yours?  Prom 2011? Destination wedding in Palm Desert? Bring it on! And remember…hip hop and you don’t stop! (oy vey. We better stop).
