It’s Prom season! A mixture of excitement and nervous energy permeates the air. Decisions must be made, and so much has to be accomplished in such a short time period. One of the major requirements is picking out your prom flowers, such as a corsage to be worn on a formal gown or around the wrist, and a boutonniere to pin to the label of a tuxedo or place in the buttonhole of a suit.

Although the words corsage and boutonniere originated in France, it’s believed that the tradition of wearing prom flowers in this manner started in ancient Greece, where it was thought that the fragrances of various flowers in the form of bouquets and boutonnieres would cover up the smell of poor hygiene, help prevent disease, and be a barrier to evil spirits.

Fortunately as time progress, so did the people’s motives for utilizing flowers. In the 1950s, when the male would pick up his prom date he would as a token of his affection, present her with a small floral arrangement. These days, people may purchase these embellishments for each other as well as for themselves. In any case, picking the proper corsage and boutonniere is crucial for enhancing your apparel.
