SPECIAL DISCOUNT COUPONS - USE ON MAIN WEBSITE The Rich Tradition of Homecoming Flowers Homecoming flowers have been a staple of high school celebrations for decades. They symbolize both the beauty and the spirit of the event. Traditionally, the corsage, a small bouquet of flowers worn on the wrist or dress, and the boutonniere, a flower pinned to the lapel, were seen as tokens of affection and respect. These floral adornments are deeply rooted in history, harking back to a time when flowers were used to convey messages and emotions. In the context of homecoming, they serve as a visual representation of the excitement and camaraderie of the event. For many students, choosing the perfect corsage or boutonniere is a rite of passage, a moment that marks their transition from adolescence to young adulthood. Interestingly, homecoming flowers vary across cultures and regions. While some schools favor traditional roses, others may opt for more exotic blooms like orchids or lilies. This diversity in choice reflects the unique character of each school's homecoming celebration. Corsage Trends Stealing the Spotlight In recent years, corsage trends have evolved, offering students a wide range of options to express their individuality. One of the most noticeable shifts has been the move away from traditional floral arrangements towards more modern and creative designs. Today, many students prefer corsages that incorporate unique elements such as feathers, ribbons, or even small charms. These additions not only add a touch of personality but also make the corsage a memorable keepsake from the event. Florists have embraced this trend, offering bespoke designs that cater to individual tastes. Another trend gaining popularity is the use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Many florists now offer corsages made from locally sourced blooms or recyclable materials, providing an environmentally conscious option for students who want to make a difference with their choices. Crafting the Perfect Boutonniere While often overshadowed by the corsage, the boutonniere plays a crucial role in completing a homecoming outfit. Traditionally a single flower, the boutonniere has seen a resurgence in popularity with a variety of trends. One of the latest trends is the inclusion of succulents or herbs, which add texture and a fresh scent to the arrangement. This innovation not only makes the boutonniere more visually appealing but also offers a longer-lasting alternative to traditional blooms. Customization is
