When Should I Order my Corsage?

Well, to answer this question quickly and simply - AT LEAST 7 days before you need it, but the more time you give us the better! 10 days would be amazing and make me and my staff so happy - this was it gives us time to order in the exact flowers in the exact colours you want without telling you "Sorry, we didn't order that this week," or, "We only bring that in if we know there is a grad,". We are always happy to accommodate last minute requests with flowers that we have on hand!

Usually I know that grads start in the first weekend of June, and continue for a week or two after that. This year I made my first corsage and boutonniere set BEFORE Mother's Day! Many schools don't publicly post graduation dance dates for the safety of students, so there is no way for us to know when to order these flowers in - or how many to order in. This pretty pink orchid corsage you see to the left started in Thailand - that is where the dendrobium orchids are sourced from. I can't bring them in at the drop of a hat. My supplier needs to source them from the grower, in the colour I am looking for. They are available in white, pink, purple, blue, and green - with white being the most common option.

These days I don't see the variety of colours I used to see in corsages, even 7-8 years ago. I saw blues, oranges, pinks, purples and yellows. Now it seems to be mostly white flowers with a coloured ribbon to match the dress. We occasionally get requests for blue or green flowers, too.
