Recipe for a hot corsage!

Prom season is nearing and we are stocking up on corsage flowers and supplies. Every year, new trends come into play and we are always on the look-out for cool ideas. We're still checking it out and placing orders, but we'd like to give you an idea of what makes up a typical Flower Cart wrist corsage.

First off is FLOWERS!

Obviously, flowers are a huge factor. We carry all kind of single and multi-bloom flowers for wrist corsages.

Roses and spray roses are the most popular choice and they come in a wide variety of colors, ranging from deep reds, hot pink, lite pink & peach, to oranges and yellows, and of course, ivory.

For a more elegant and classy look, we carry mini calla lilies and a few types of orchids.

Mini carnations come in even more colors than the roses and are a great-looking, long-lasting flower for corsages.

 Other flowers such as, alstromeria, delphinium, and daisies can be used in combination with some of the aforementioned focal flowers for a lush corsage with a lot of depth.

Second ingredient: RIBBON.

The Flower Cart carries hundreds of colors and styles of ribbon for corsage and choosing the right one is important!

Your ribbon doesn't have to match your dress color exactly. In fact, it's usually better to choose a color that simply complements the dress or your accessories. Metallics work great as a neutral color that still has a lot of OOMPH.

Ingredient #3: ACCENTS / BLING

We are always thinking of new bits and baubles we can add to corsages to make them extra special. Adding just the right accent can turn an "okay" corsage into an amazing work of art.

Some of the accents we carry are iridescent and colored faux leaves, clear and colored rhinestones, pearl strands and colored bead strands. We can also add feathers, colored floral wire, and fancy beaded wristlets like these:

Your Flower Cart salesperson can help you pick the best combination of flowers, ribbon and accents to complement you and your style. The level of customization we offer simply can't be beaten. We recommend visiting us at one of our stores to hand-select your ribbon and flowers with guidance from our knowledgeable salespeople. You can even bring in your dress or a fabric swatch to help us color-match your accents!

So call or come into one of our stores when you're ready to place your order for a one-of-a-kind prom corsage, made just for you.
