When you’re getting ready for Prom it seems like there are a thousand things to remember.  Even if you’ve already picked out a dress, hairstyle, and accessories, there’s still one final thing you need – flowers!  Whether you’re going with a date or with a group of friends, many guys and girls wear floral corsages or boutonnieres to Prom.  Picking out flowers for Prom is fun; you can match your flowers with a date’s or with a friend’s and you can match the flower and ribbon to your dress!  In this article, we’ll tell you about some of the most popular floral accessories for Prom 2013.  With a little advice from bchicfashions.com you’ll be well on your way to looking perfect for Prom!

Roses

Roses are the go-to flower for a romantic evening, so if you’re going with a date consider getting a corsage and boutonniere decorated with a rose.  Roses are the most popular style for Prom and are relatively inexpensive, making them affordable if you’ve already spent a lot on a gorgeous dress.  Most florists sell red, white, pink, and yellow roses, so there are many colors to choose from, too!

Calla Lillies

Calla Lillies are an elegant and exotic flower.  Their pretty white petals are sleek and modern so it’s best to pair them with a simple, streamlined dress or tuxedo.  Ask your florist to decorate your corsage or boutonniere with gold ribbon for a look that’s beautiful, trendy, and chic!

Orchids

Orchids come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.  From light pink to deep majestic purples, orchids are an upscale and sensual flower.  Because orchids are so ornate, you won’t need to embellish your corsage or boutonniere much.  In fact, if you chose to wear an orchid as a floral accessory you don’t need to wear as much jewelry as well.  The natural beauty of an orchid is more eye-catching than a sparkly bracelet any day!

Gerbera Daisies

Gerbera daises are perfect for a couple that wants to create a funky overall look.  The yellow centers and long, thin petals are playful and fun.  Gerbera daisies are usually available in a wide variety of colors, ranging from light pink to bright orange to deep red.  If you’re looking for a flower that makes a statement consider trying a gerbera daisy at Prom 2013!

Now that you know a little bit more about popular floral accessories make sure to order your corsage and boutonniere at least one week before Prom.  Florists are very busy around this time of year, so don’t forget this important but fun fashion detail!

Creating the perfect overall look for Prom means more than just picking a gorgeous dress.  To complete the look, we at bchicfashions.com suggest that you (pardon the pun) “polish” things off!  In this article, we’ll tell you about some of the most popular nail polish shades for spring.  Whether you plan on simply getting a manicure or going all out on false nails, we’ll help you narrow down the color choices.  With a little advice from bchicfashions.com your nails will look pretty for Prom in no time!

Pastel Yellow

While bright yellow nail polish doesn’t work on everyone, more subdued shades of yellow work well with every skin tone!  Look for polishes that look thick and buttery for a pretty pastel look.  Remember that blue is yellow’s complementary color, so a blue dress or blue accessories will make you look ultra springy and chic!

Coral

Coral dresses are super hot this season, and so are coral nail polishes!  To create a warm springtime look, paint nails with two layers of coral colored nail polish.  Shades with orange undertones look amazing on girls with darker skin and shades with pink or reddish undertones work well for girls with fair skin.

Light Aqua

Light aqua is a unique shade for nail polish.  It’s a combination of light pastel blue with silver undertones.  Light aqua looks great next to metallic shades such as bronze or silver; if you’re wearing a metallic colored dress to Prom, light aqua is the perfect nail polish for you!

Periwinkle

Periwinkle is a girly and feminine nail polish shade.  Periwinkle shades are a light bluish purple and work well on every skin tone!  Even better, periwinkle polish looks pretty with a variety of dress colors, including cool colors such as blue or green and metallic hues such as silver or graphite.

Slate

If you don’t like the look of pastels try out a slate colored nail polish at Prom!  This dark grey, metallic shade will give you a tougher edge, but it works well with both feminine and punk-inspired gowns.  Best of all, dark grey nail polish is super hot right now, too!

La Femme 18986

This unique feminine dress is fit for a true fashion queen.  The streamlined “trumpet” silhouette hugs your torso and hips and flares out into a small skirt at the bottom.  The pretty floral detailing is strategically placed and lays on diagonal ruching; the ruching creates the illusion of an hourglass figure, making this dress perfect for a girl who’s not afraid to show off her figure!  It’s available in a variety of colors as well, including coral, white, and aqua.  Pair this dress with some pretty gold bracelets for a look that’s modern and sleek.

Jovani 1650

This subdued neon dress by Jovani is an easy way to try out the neon trend.  Jovani’s dress number 1650 is covered in gorgeous, sparkly lime green rhinestones.  This long gown features a sweetheart neckline and a high-cut slit in the skirt, making it sexy and sweet at the same time.  Even better, the rhinestones on the dress are arranged in a super trendy “hombre” pattern, meaning that the dress fades from one color to another (think dip dyed!).  One of the best things about this dress is that it’s flattering without being too revealing, making it perfect for almost any body type!

Dave and Johnny 8662

This high-low dress by Dave and Johnny is available in three different shades of neon – bright pink, bright orange, and bright green!  This playful dress features a unique layered skirt that will look beautiful as you’re twirling across the dance floor at Prom.  The beaded bust adds a little bit of sparkle and the spaghetti straps will lift up your chest and give you instant cleavage.  Pair this dress with a pair of sparkly earrings and metallic pumps for a look that’s sure to make you stand out in the crowd!

Sherri Hill 21114

While this dress looks similar to the Dave and Johnny dress above, its details make it incredibly different. Also featuring a high-low hem, Sherri Hill’s dress number 21114 has a sexy strapless neckline and an even sexier cut out on the bodice.  The delicate beads around the cut out draw attention to your bust, making this dress perfect for girls with a smaller chest.  This dress is also available in neon pink, neon green, and neon orange (along with traditional colors like pink or ivory).  Pair this dress with a pair of nude colored heels for a fashion-forward look that will make you the best dressed girl at Prom 2013!

Picking the perfect Prom hairstyle can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be!  In this article, we at bchicfashions.com will show you some of the hottest hairstyles of the spring season.  From messy up dos to classic Prom hairstyles, there are more than enough styles to choose from!

The Side Ponytail

The side ponytail gives off a flirty, fun vibe and is much more flattering than a traditional ponytail.  To get the look, create a side part and pull the majority of your hair to one side.  Using a brush, gently sweep the remaining hair over and secure with an elastic.  For a wavier look, use a curling iron to curl the end of the ponytail.  Secure fly aways with bobby pins and be sure to put a couple of extra pins in your purse!

Short Hair

Cutting your hair just for Prom might seem a little drastic but short hair is totally chic right now!  A short, layered hairstyle allows you to show off a dress’ neckline, so make sure to pick a dress with an embellished bust to get the most out of this hairstyle.  Popular styles are bobs, a-line cuts, and asymmetrical styles where one side of the hair is shorter than the other.

Sparkly Barrettes

If you already have a hairstyle in mind and are looking to try out a new accessory, try a sparkly barrette on for size!  Sparkly barrettes are the perfect way to add a little pizzazz to an already gorgeous hair do; best of all, they’ll look incredible in your Prom pictures!  Choose a barrette with multicolored jewels for a funky, artsy vibe or choose a barrette with pearls and brushed silver for a look that’s glamorous and pretty.

Now that you have a few ideas for Prom 2013 hairstyles, the next thing to do is to practice styling your hair.  Always remember to choose a style that flatters the texture of your hair so that you don’t have to fight your natural look!  Remember to keep checking back on bchicfashions.net for more even more Prom advice!
