Amazing Prom Flowers, Dresses, Formal Wear And A Hummer Limo
Things sure have changed since my prom days. My sister-in-law just sent me pictures of my nephew’s prom. Oliver went to prom last week with his girlfriend Courtney and as the custom these days it was a group affair with a Hummer limousine to boot. When I say things have changed I mean everything: hair styles, dresses, formal wear for the guys and even the flowers. When I was in school the pin on corsage was the only option we had for prom flowers. Now prom flowers are a fashion accessory not just a nice gift from your date.
Prom goers embellish their purses, shoes and necklaces with flowers for prom. They use the wrist corsage like a piece of jewelry. In fact one of the girls in my nephew’s prom group had a flower ring. Not a ring in the shape of a flower but a flower ring.
I have never really wanted to relive my youth. But, I wish I could go to prom just so I could wear one of these cool wrist corsages and flower rings.
The transportation to prom is another thing that is completely different. I rode to prom in a Toyota corolla, not the most prestigious of vehicles in 1983. Now they arrive in limos and not just any limo but a hummer limo.
My nephew Oliver is on the right side with his girlfriend Courtney and his friends Whitney and Dustin are pictured on the left. I think the colorful prom dresses, fantastic tuxedos, amazing prom wrist corsages and the limo are a huge part of the whole prom experience. But the most important thing last weekend was the memories Oliver and friends made that will last him a lifetime.
If you want to see more pictures of the gorgeous prom dress and prom flowers, I know that several are posted on Wedding and Party Network. If you have prom pictures you would like to share, Wedding and Party Network lets users submit pictures to their site.

Yes that’s amazing how things have changed. My son here in England, demanded a limousine
to take his girlfriend to the prom, check here the website. I couldn’t believe he would spend so much just in the ride but what could I do? He was decided and I couldn’t let the neighbors think less from us because all kids were so extravagant nowadays. The suit was an other extra then the flowers, he even bought her a ring.

Limousines are really a great help for us-convenience, comfort and apt services, plus the help of the professional chauffeurs. A win-win deal!

It is an ever increasing trend among prom goers year after year. It seems that every year you see these kids upping the price tag for their prom night. They spend more money on flowers. They spend more money on limousines. They drop big bucks at the nicest restaurants in Seattle. I don’t know where they get all this money, but they sure do love spending it.

People want to impress, and the prom is for many, especially in that age considered being one of the most important days of their life. And why not, celebrate leaving childhood and going in to the adult-world, I believe the memories will last for a lifetime so go for it and make it extraordinary.

My cousin rented a cheap limo hire to impress his girlfriend. He spent his allowance to pay off the rent. Makes me wish I rode down a limo during my prom. Too bad I can’t afford it back then

I Agree with Jamie, seeing how much is made of the Proms these days I wish I had a chance to to redo mine and take a spin in a limo too. lol
Those flowers do look great as rings and wrist corsages Those are some great looking kids.
In my day the hairstyles were the most important item on the prom menu along of course with the Prom Dresses. Today’s youth are very conscious on all fashion items and I guess that also includes the transportation. No sense in getting all dolled up and arrive in a mini van that just would be cool.

Yes, Limousines are expensive, but Prom night is generally expensive and to people of that age, it is one of the more important evenings of their life. What does pay off however is to do research as many limousine companies offer specials for Prom. Also, if you are sharing your limo with other couple or couples, that helps defray the costs. Ask your limo rental provider, you will be surprised how competitive the industry is and how they will bend their prices to get your business.

I remember when i went to the prom. We got a all blacked out limo and we had 6 people in the limo. We had such a great time and we went to the prom and then went out on the town for a few hours. The guys all split the cost and the girls had a great time.

Well, a prom night is all about looking your best and i think selection of right prom dress is the crucial to reveal the best aspect of your personality

A good limousine service will help you do just that: by providing the best transportation available to you, you can make sure that such life-changing events will be made as memorable as possible.
