Everyone here at Gillespie’s loves to learn new things! As you can see in the picture, myself and Sarah sure do!
Teleflora’s Indiana Unit hosted a design show called “ Beyond the Bouquet “ at Van’s Floral Products. Many of the Gillespie Employees went to this show and had a great time! The main focus of the show was actually on weddings but our teacher, Joyce Mason-Monheim also touched base on corsages that could work for Prom! So, We are doing a two part blog covering this great show. The first about Weddings and the second about Prom corsages and boutonnieres!
Joyce offered up great ideas for corsages but also alternatives to corsages, like this necklace pictured here! This is a handmade necklace Joyce created out of wire, beading, orchids and a gardenia.
A necklace can be made for you to match your prom dress perfectly! If you already have a necklace but it needs a little something, You could bring it in and see if we can add flowers to it for you! We have tiaras you could add flowers to also, like the one pictured here.Corsages don’t have to be just another Mother’s Day orchid. Joyce encouraged us to think outside the box by using flowers not typically seen in Prom corsages. Of course, the bling is important too!
Joyce made us tons of corsages and boutonnieres for us to look at and I want to share them with you so enjoy some pictures and this video of both the wedding flowers and Prom Flowers! Enjoy!
