"Prom styles have come and gone over the decades, but one thing that hasn&amp;#039;t changed is the time-old tradition of couples wearing corsages and boutonnieres. This detail can really make you and your date stand out in photos, so pay attention! Expert Lynn Jawitz, one of Manhattan&amp;#039;s most sought-out floral designers, tells us how to steal the spotlight and be the best looking couple at prom.  17: What is this season&amp;#039;s hottest prom flower? Lynn Jawitz: Orchids are going to be a great flower this year. The Cymbidium orchids are great because they&amp;#039;re larger and fluffier so you can have a lot of fun with color. I recommend that you bring a color swatch of your dress with you to your florist if possible.  17: What is the average cost of a corsage and boutonniere? LJ: The average cost goes from a high of $45 in major cities to a low of $10. I would just say be honest with your florist. Tell him or her, &amp;quot;This is what I have, what can you do for for me?&amp;quot; Pin-on corsages are less expensive than wristlets, so try to accessorize with a pin-on somehow to save. 17: Who should place the order and how far in advance? LJ: It&amp;#039;s an individual type of arrangement. It&amp;#039;s a good idea to go with your date to get the flowers. You can&amp;#039;t always delegate when it comes to fashion. The two of you can decide on how much you&amp;#039;re willing to spend and who will buy what. You should give the florist at least three weeks ahead of time. 17: What else should couples keep in mind to look great come prom night? LJ: It takes work and coordination but it&amp;#039;s so possible! It&amp;#039;s all about working together with your date and putting in a little bit of effort. If he has a blue pocket square, you can have a blue flower. Take pictures as soon as you arrive; you&amp;#039;ll want those memories to last forever! So remember, you don&amp;#039;t need a stylist -- just a little creativity. Live in NYC? Ask Lynn to design your prom flower looks by checking out her site.
