The last time I had to purchase prom flowers (boutonniere) I ended up in my kitchen on Saturday at…read morenoon redoing them with flowers I picked up at a grocery store. That place is now out of business; shocking, I know. So needless to say, I was at a loss when my next experience for prom flowers came around. The group going was 2 girls and a boy, so the other moms and I wanted to make sure that at least the corsages were comparable. Another mom scoped out the local grocery and wasn't keen on their offerings, so from a past experience with The Petal Cart suggested going there. We didn't get our order in super early, in fact, The Petal Cart was able to work in our order the week of. We appreciated it, and as it turned out, an early order would have had no advantage due to a shortage of flowers pretty much everywhere. So the girls had decided to do flowers in both colors, and all would be equal. We picked out the colored ribbons we wanted to use and a general idea. They said they would make it work with what might be available, and she was on her way to the airport to pick up her flower order, which she said would likely be a surprise to her, too, depending on what was available. The flowers looked fantastic. They were sprayed to match the ribbon, and they ended up complementing the dresses nicely.
