Curious about the outcome for the tux?

[catnapper]

Hubby told him today after we picked it -- HIS choice, not mine.

Anyhooooo.... my son just rolled his eyes and said he LIKES IT! Guess yellow looks different in the store than at home He'll never admit we were right, but he looked SO proud when he brought the tux out to show his girlfriend. His GF is thrilled and she thinks it is beautiful.

I have the flowers and I just have to arrange them -- white roses with yellow lilies and yellow snapdragons. (I'll keep the lilies away from the cats - I promise!) I am considering adding our HUGE white irises that have a purple ruffle on the outside. It'd be a nice contrast to all the yellow, but not sure if I want to break up the "theme". BTW, they decided on a bouquet because its less combersome than a corsage and she can just leave it on the table when they are dancing. From what I hear, most kids are doing wrist corsages this year. I dont care - I'd rather make a bouquet anyhow. What's the "look" for proms regarding flowers - big or small? I have enough flowers to do 5 bouquets, so I can make it as big or small as it needs to be (then I get to keep the remaining fowers in a vase for myself! )

Thanks again for everyone's input regarding the tux in the first place.

Glad he "saw the light" !

I had a wrist corsage, so I'm not sure on the bouquet thing. I'd say small, like a nosegay...

I have no clue but I am thinking small...more for you to enjoy...glad everything worked out......we will expect pictures!

See there? All that worrying for nothing. I'm glad he likes it. It will make for a much happier experience. I envy those that get to go to prom. I never had fun like that in school. Someone needs to start a thread where everyone can post the prom pics. I think that would be fun.

Go with the small boquet! I had a wrist one once and hated it! Always in the way . . .

Glad your son saw the light . . . I knew he would!

Teenagers, you gotta love them! They sure keep life intresting dont they? I'm glad it all worked out. I agree with Val, we do need a prom picture thread. It would be fun to see.

[Jods]

I'm glad it all worked out. Make sure to get pics of him and his GF!

[catnapper]

Of course you'll get lots of pictures... of everyone. Remember my daughter is going to the prom too!

I just did a search about prom flowers... wow... they are EXPENSIVE! I had no idea! The simplest wrist corsage was more than all the flowers I bought today! I did read that some girls like to wear some flowers in their hair, so I'll ask her if she'd like something simple for her hair.

Yes, I think arranging something on a comb or barrette for her hair, then a bouquet - not too huge, but nice enough to carry, and then leave on the table. Wrist corsages can get itchy and annoying, in my humble opinion!

Being a teenager he will never admit to anything, but he's probably learned it's nicer to have a happy lady on your arm than an upset one.

Glad it all worked out well!
