2024 Prom Trend Report

Prom is a floral season that can generate thousands of dollars in body flower sales through hundreds of tiny designs – all over the course of just a few days.

To make this type of condensed, detail-oriented work profitable, planning is key.  Applying trends in prom dress fashion is the surest way to predict success in corsage designs teens will love.

Prom, and teen fashion in general, is based on translating individual personality through apparel including accessories.  Appealing to customer sentiments is what will distinguish your designs over another shop, or even the option of forgoing flowers all-together. Show this next generation wrist corsages and boutonnieres are relevant by modernizing them into today’s aesthetics.

Major Materials

Cover your bases knowing most prom dresses are going to be predominantly made with one of these popular materials:

Metallics

Metallics

This can mean textures like sequins, beads, lamé, really any material that catches the light. Not just colors like gold and silver, but also metallic black, blue and pink. Dresses will be in all different styles, but capturing the shine is key.

 

Sheers

Sheers

Airy and ethereal, you’ll see tulle either in a single flowy layer or making a full, ruffled skirt. Embellished illusion layers will often contain pearls or rhinestones.

Satin

Satin

Sleek and special, teens love satin to mark the occasion. You’ll see it in short and long dresses and a rainbow of their favorite colors. The use of satin signifies formality to a young customer because its typically not worn at another time of year.

Design Details

You’ve covered the basics. Now, upgrade customers and show them a wrist corsage is more than what they may perceive. It is a truly custom-made accessory to help them complete their look. Watch for these dress details and show what you can do to complement them.

Corset Details

Dresses with boning and tailored waists give a sculpted look you can match in wristlet details.

Fringe & Pattern

Some dresses will feature sheer patterns or shorn layers. (This isn’t your flapper fringe!) Match it with interest in corsage ribbons in a free-spirited bohemian way dangling from her wrist.

Bling & Glitz

Thanks to 90s and y2k trends in teen fashion, you’ll see iridescent, glitter, acrylic, pearls and overall bling, not to mention accessory styles like chokers.

Viral Movements & Micro Trends

You might not even hear the word “trend” or “style” with teen customers, rather “core.” Of course, these can go ‘in’ and ‘out’ fast, but they are anchored in entertainment media and major designer collections that influence this year’s available prom dresses.

Barbie Core

All things pink and glamourous.

Ballet Core

Pastel colors, feminine silhouettes.

Mermaid Core

Underwater colors, iridescence, and mythical.

Fairy Core

Nature-inspired, with the delicate and pretty earthly items.

Coquette Core

Think of the fun-loving characters in Old English narratives of the 17th century dressing in lace, chokers, corsets, bows and ribbons

Dark Academia

An aesthetic trend that includes elements inspired by old schools, libraries, and college campuses: black, navy, burgundy and hunter green and heavier fabrics.
