Get excited: it's almost time to pack away your coat, gloves and scarves.
You can be sure that, right now, teens across the country are daydreaming about swapping their bulky winter wear for some strappy sandals and a prom gown. You can help complete their fantasy for the big night by designing and displaying prom flowers that perfectly complement their outfits. To make that possible, we spoke to Jane Fort, Editor-in-Chief of TeenPROM magazine, to learn what's trending in the prom fashion world.
Along with some sartorial insider knowledge, she also shared results from the 2014 TeenPROM survey, which revealed some good news for florists: 84 percent of teens intend to buy a corsage, spending an average of $25 on it.
If you want your pieces to bring in even more money, here's what your designers need to have in mind when they come up with your 2015 prom collection:
Two-Piece Dressing
"A cropped top and a dropped waist do double duty to show off a flash of skin with a bare mid-riff," Fort said.
Black & White
"Opposites attract with graphic designs or a lace overlay in black and white," Fort said. "No filter required!"
Sheer Style
"From skirts to sleeves and more, sheer fabrics give a bare look without being actually being bare!" Fort said.
Textured
"Jewelry style beading, pearls (think Lupita’s Oscar dress), lace, embroidery or a mix of fabrics add an extra dimension to style," Fort said.
Hi-Ho Silver
"Show your metal! Whether it’s lamé, beads or sequins, shades of silver shine bright this prom season," Fort said.
