White Flowers for Classic Looks
So classic, chic, and elegant – white is a beautiful choice for a corsage if you plan to rock a glamorous, timeless black prom dress. Soft creams, pure whites, or a mix can bring a classic sheen to your black prom dress. Consider adding a white rose for your centerpiece surrounded by other beautiful white buds such as orchids, white ranunculus, or spray roses. Don’t be afraid to throw in some black or white ribbon, too! It should be classic, but it should also be chic. This will help soften your look while providing an elegant twist to your already sophisticated look.
Red is Timeless
A classic red can do no wrong, especially when pairing it as a corsage with a traditional black prom dress. Consider going full-classic with a bright red rose as the primary flower around your corsage – nothing says romance, sensuality, and excitement like a beautiful red rose. If you want to add fun accents surrounding, you could mix in another red shade with berry drops and green leaves or try to soften up the overall look by adding a few white gardenias or orchids we mentioned.

Sophisticated, Soft, Subtle
The beautiful thing about a black dress is that it’s so versatile – by that, we mean you can add several shades and hues to your look without overpowering it. Add soft, supple colors like light pinks, pastel peaches, and delicate purples. Try not to go too bold and bright when you’re doing this – try to keep these colors lightweight and soft – to avoid any potential clashing. Consider flowers like purple lilies for a little drama, purple orchids, light-pink cymbidium orchids, or even sprays of small roses and white hyacinths.
