Graduation is an exciting time in the lives of students. After years in the classroom preparing for life after school, graduation marks a time when students are finally ready to enter the "real world" and land their first professional job.

Flowers and formal events go hand in hand. Both women and men may wear flowers at weddings, graduations and dances.

 

A corsage is a small bundle of flowers that is pinned to the lapel area of a woman's clothing or tied around her wrist. Some people get creative and wear corsages in their hair or on their ankles.

Prom is a milestone event for many teenagers. Months are spent in preparation for the night of dancing, dinner and reminiscing with classmates and friends.

 

Guys and girls alike agonize over every decision, from what to wear to whom to take as a date. With so many choices to make, ladies may not give as much thought to their makeup as they do to their gowns or hair styles. But makeup is an important consideration for young ladies on prom night.

Promgoers put a lot of thought into who they ask to prom, who they will sit with and which festivities they'll engage in when the prom is over.

 

Much attention is also given to prom attire and prom photos. Formal gowns and tuxedos tend to dominate prom attire, and such clothing can stretch prom budgets. According to a CNN survey of more than 1,000 parents of prom-aged teenagers, families in the Northeastern United States pay an average of $1,500 on prom, while Midwestern American families spend around $700.
