Corsages & Boutonnieres For Prom

Corsages & Boutonnieres For Prom

Prom season is here. It's that time of the year to shop for the shoes to go with the perfect dress, make up and hairstyle, jewelry if any and  last but equally as important, your corsage & boutonniere for your date.

Corsages & boutonnieres come in a wide variety of flowers, colors and add-ons.  The most commonly used are orchids and roses. View more Corsages and Boutonnieres  on our website.

When shopping for your corsage, bring a swatch of fabric in the same color as your dress whenever possible. This will aid us in finding a ribbon to go with your dress and flower. Also recommended is that you bring your date with you, this way each of you can select your corsage & boutonniere

Corsages & boutonnieres can be worn in different ways. They can be worn on your wrist, chest and sometimes on your ankle too. This usually depends on your dress -- whether it has straps or not. If no straps then almost by default you must wear your corsage on your wrist, otherwise you can wear it on your chest.

Contrary to popular belief, picking out a corsage is not a difficult task when planned ahead of time.  We recommend you stop by our shop and make your selection a minimum of 2 weeks before prom night. Remember that the more time you give yourself, the better your chances are of finding the perfect flower, color, ribbon and add-ons that will make up your corsage.

Why I Like Tinted And Painted Flowers

Tinted & Spray Painted Flowers: Now Available At Our Store

Can you spot the tinted flowers?

Did you know you can paint your flowers any color you want?

Two of the most commonly used floral sprays are "Just For Flowers" & "Color Tool" both by Design Master, "Color Tool" is the one I prefer.

Tinted or sprayed flowers are not for everyone; Some customers like it more than others.  Personally, I think flowers paint is great and very useful. There are times when paint, if used correctly, will help florists and customers get that perfect color to match their desired taste.  For instance, we had a customer getting married last weekend and he told us that blue roses were "a must have" for his wedding. I explained to him that it was not possible to get natural blue roses. When I suggested to have them spray painted, he asked for a sample...needless to say that he was more than satisfied with the outcome and placed his order with us right away.

Spray Painted Blue Rose

For us at the shop Prom season (which is coming soon by the way) seems to be the time when we use spray paint the most. High school kids looking to match their dresses are the ones who usually ask us to spray paint flowers for accents on their corsages or boutonnieres for guys.
 

We also use spray paint whenever special jobs are requested. We have done logos before and flags as well. For these big jobs we preffer to use carnations because they absorb the paint with ease and also gives us a more "natural" look and result. 

Cuban Flag

There are other flowers that can be sprayed painted such as hydrangeas, fuji mums, roses and daysies also.

Twins Boy & Girl Arrangement

If you are one of those people who like spray painted flowers, make sure you ask your local florist if they offer this service. I'm sure ALL florists will work with you by either having your flowers painted or by finding substitutions for the color you wish to have. In the end we florists are here to please you, our loyal customers.

Successful Valentine's Day 2015 at Fancy Flowers & Gift Shop

Valentine's Day Flowers by Fancy Flowers

We had a really busy Valentine's Day weekend at the shop. Nonetheless, I found some time to take a few pictures here and there. We had all types of flowers in stock. From tulips, to daysies, tropical flowers, carnations, orchids, birds of paradise, wax flowers.  

These are only a few of the floral arrangements we made and some of my favorites this past holiday.  There were many more that I wanted to take pictures of, but unfortunately I must've found myself busy at the time. For all those who received flowers from us, share and let us see via Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or Google+. We would like to see and reshare your flowers with everyone in our social networks.

Valentine's Day Suggestions

Valentine's Day 2015

We have exactly 6 days to go until Valentine’s Day. This upcoming week is sure to be an EXTREMELY busy one. I wanted to highlight and recommend a couple of our favorite arrangements.. Who knows, maybe one of you is still undecided on what floral design to go with.

Upgraded Classic Arrangement (Image #1)

Cimbidium and Roses (Image #2)

Those are a couple of arrangements that have been available to order for Saturday the 14th. Our beautiful Classic Arrangement upgraded with more roses and more orchids; sure to make you look really good in the eyes of your loved one.

Image #2 is one of our trademark arrangements with Cimbidium Orchids and roses. These cimbidiums are available in white, yellow and lime green.  The great thing about these designs is that you can upgrade to bigger , fuller, always beautiful versions of them or you can also downgrade a little to our Classic Dozen Roses  and we can almost guarantee you that no beauty will be lost.

This is one of our beautiful stuffed bears, one of the big ones but not the biggest we have in stock.  Besides our signature enormous teddy bears, we also carry smaller teddies and variety of  animals -- ALL of which play music in either English or Spanish.

Let me ask you.. have you ordered your flowers yet?  Make sure you call your local florist  and by all means AVOID those internet companies that send you flowers in boxes that you must arrange yourself. They say it’s the thought that counts, but who really wants to receive flowers in a box?  If you live in Hialeah, Miami Lakes or nearby communities then you can call us, we’ll take care of you and will always hand deliver your  fresh floral arrangements.  Our flowers are sure to make both of us look good.

Now for those wondering what we will be doing throughout the week, make sure to follow us on Instagram @FancyFlowers305 or +FancyFlowersGiftShop on Google+. We will be featuring roses in all colors, orchids, tropical flowers and who knows, a lot of other flowers.  We’ll most likely be on Instagram the most since it takes but a few seconds to post an update.
