Floral trends for spring, prom season

Nothing quite signifies spring like fresh, colorful flowers, especially with Easter and prom season right around the corner.

According to Ronda Audlehelm with Flowers ‘N More, trendy springtime flowers are hydrangeas, mums, begonias and gerbera daisies.

“They’re very popular,” Audlehelm said of the gerbera daisies.

With the month of April and Easter Sunday soon approaching, the type of flowers that are currently popular are lilies, including Easter Lily and Starlight Lily.

Prom

When it comes to prom, floral arrangements are needed for the corsages.

“We start with the dress color, that’s our starting point. We just go from there,” Audlehelm said.

The most popular flowers during prom season are the sweetheart roses. Other in-demand florals include many types of carnations, the alstroemeria lilies and button mums.

Once the flower type and colors are picked, then comes the adornments, including the ribbon. Ribbon colors on corsages can either match or not match the dress, it’s up to the buyer.

When it comes to the floral arrangements, it’s important to remember the final sparkling touches, or “bling.”

“The bling is very popular with the girls,” Audlehelm said.
