Prom flowers are a small purchase with an outsized job: they are in every photo. Here is how to get them right, from the florists who make them every spring.
Order earlier than feels necessary
Every corsage and boutonniere set we sell is made to order, and prom weekends book out across the valley. Advance orders are required, and payment is in full when you order, because your set is custom work built for your date. Custom work is final sale: no refunds or cancellations. Two weeks ahead is comfortable. The week of is a gamble.
Match the dress, not the theme
Bring a photo of the dress, or better, a fabric swatch. "Blush" is forty colors. We match ribbon and accents to what she's actually wearing, and we will tell you when white roses will read better in photos than matching a color exactly.
Wrist or pin-on?
Wrist corsages are the prom standard: no pins near formal fabric, nothing to crush in a hug. Pin-on is traditional for boutonnieres, worn on the left lapel, stem down. Homecoming in Las Vegas often adds a mum or garter tradition for some schools; tell us your school and we will tell you what students actually wear there.
See the set and pick your colors: shop corsage and boutonniere sets, matched and made to order.
Pickup, not delivery, on purpose
Wearable flowers should be pinned on fresh. Sets are picked up at our Summerlin shop in Downtown Summerlin or our Henderson shop on Eastern Ave, kept cool until the moment. Keep yours in the fridge, in its box, away from the fruit bowl (ripening fruit ages flowers; this is the one florist fact everybody learns too late).

Where prom season lives: Palo Verde High School, on Pavilion Center Drive. It opened in 1997 as Summerlin's first public high school, and its Panthers are still the west side's original prom crowd. Henderson's anchor is older. Basic High started in 1942 as Railroad Pass High, then took its present name in 1945 for the Basic Magnesium plant. For nearly fifty years it was Henderson's only high school. Green Valley High opened in 1991, and the Gators and Wolves have been rivals ever since. Basic alumni still sign off the same way: "Once a wolf, always a wolf."
