Dalton Prom Corsages and Boutonnieres: A Coordination Checklist

Start with the event date and a color reference

Prom flowers are worn, not placed in a vase, so the details are different from ordering a bouquet. Tell Alive Expressions the event date, the number of pieces you need and whether each person wants a wrist corsage or a boutonniere. A dress, suit or accessory photo can help explain the palette, but ask which colors and stems are available before assuming an exact match.

Matching does not have to mean identical. A corsage and boutonniere can share a flower color or greenery while being built in different proportions for the wrist and lapel. Choose the coordination detail that matters most to you, such as a blush palette or a ribbon tone, and communicate it clearly.

Compare the actual pieces

Our Wrist Corsage is listed with blush roses, spray roses and eucalyptus on a satin band. Our Boutonnière is listed with a single rose, greenery and a berry accent tied with twine. Browse the photos and current options before ordering; these catalog designs are a starting point for a conversation, not a promise that every custom variation is available at the same price.

Check whether a wearer has a sensitivity to fragrance or any material that will touch their skin. If a jacket or outfit cannot take a pin, ask about an appropriate attachment before ordering a lapel piece. Do not assume a wrist band, pin or alternative fastening will fit every outfit without checking.

Coordinate who is ordering what

Agree with your date or group on who is buying each piece before submitting separate orders. Write down the quantities and names, especially if several couples are collecting together. A simple list avoids accidentally ordering two corsages and no boutonniere.

Ask about availability ahead of the event rather than relying on a last-minute custom build. Tell us when photographs begin, not only when the dance starts, so the flowers can be collected in time for the part of the evening when you need them.

Arrange collection and storage guidance

Studio pickup is by appointment only; we text the address after pickup is arranged. Alive Expressions is open daily 9 AM–7 PM. Call 678-752-7277 to confirm your event details and ask how to keep the pieces in good condition until they are worn. If local delivery is preferred, the fee is $9.99 within 10 miles, $19.99 within 20 miles or $29.99 within 30 miles, separate from the flowers.
