A senior prom is a major event in the life of a high school student. Graduation ceremonies are celebratory and momentous. Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show the most important woman in the world how important she is to you. There are many special occasions at this time of year which call for the beauty of fresh flowers – and Central Square Florist is the place in Cambridge and Boston for the freshest designs.

Did You Know? The original corsages were created to ward off evil spirits and protect women from disease. Boutonnieres functioned the same way for men. By the late 17th century, these beliefs began to wane. Corsages were worn less and less until they were considered a luxury item, and most often used as a gift when courting. 

Corsages were originally worn in the center of the bodice, but can now be attached to the shoulder or waist as well. Wristlet, or wrist corsages, are the most popular form of corsage – and can be held in place by elastic, sequin bands, or jewelry. Another popular form of prom flowers is the nosegay, a small handheld bouquet similar to a bridesmaid bouquet.
