With homecoming right around the corner – most schools observe the annual tradition between late September and mid-October – it’s time to think about the homecoming flowers you will need for every event. There are football games , homecoming courts, formal dances; and all are wonderful opportunities to show your school spirit and pride. As alumni return for the weekend and senior athletes are celebrated, there are so many occasions to honor them with flowers.

Wrist corsages have become the floral accessory of choice for women. Whether you are looking to honor a favorite teacher, recognize the mother of the star quarterback, or congratulate the member of the royal court – these elegant and classic designs never go out of style. White spray roses, a sheer decorative ribbon, and some simple greens are enough to create a sophisticated corsage suitable for any occasion. The neutrality of an all-white design also allows the flowers to be worn from the pep rally to the dance in beautiful style. Of course, he’ll need a matching boutonniere, and this classic white rose will be perfect

Homecoming weekend is all about school spirit! Many wish to design homecoming flowers that will be a perfect match to the school’s colors, and in some cases, that is easy to do – if your colors are red and white, for instance, red and white roses are easily attained. However, if your colors are a bit more difficult to match florally, simply start with a gorgeous white flower – such as these dendrobium orchids – and add ribbons and jewels to express the right color!

Give Julias’s Florist a call, and we’ll work with you to design gorgeous floral accessories that will express all the excitement and school spirit you need to celebrate this important event.
