Your 2026 Valparaiso Prom Flower Guide

What to Order, When to Order, and How to Love What You Receive

Prom season in Valparaiso is one of our favorite times of year — hundreds of students, big energy, and the kind of details that make the night feel unforgettable. Flowers are a huge part of that moment, and we want you to feel confident (and excited!) about what you’re ordering.

Here’s everything you need to know before placing your prom flower order with Schultz Floral.

When to Order Your Prom Flowers in Valparaiso

If you take one thing away from this guide, let it be this:

Pre-order your flowers at least one week in advance. Orders usually open 6 weeks prior.

Prom week is one of the busiest times of the entire year for florists. Ordering early ensures:

•The best selection of blooms

•Time for thoughtful design

•A smoother, stress-free pickup experience

Last-minute orders are limited and are 100% Designer's Choice.

Our Prom Flower Menu (and How to Choose What’s Right for You)

We’ve intentionally designed our prom offerings to give you flexibility while maintaining the quality we’re known for.

Boutonnieres

Starting at $20

• Clean, classic, and coordinated

• Optional magnet upgrade (highly recommended to protect suits and for easy on/off)

Corsages

Starting at $65

• Designed to complement dresses and overall styling

Handheld Bouquets (Most Popular)

$75 or $100 → Designer’s Choice

$125 → Inspiration Driven (custom consultation with your bouquet photo)

Handheld bouquets have become the go-to prom accessory, and for good reason. They photograph beautifully and make a statement.

Designer’s Choice vs. Inspiration Driven: What’s the Difference?

Understanding this is the key to loving your flowers.

Designer’s Choice (Color-Based)

This option is perfect if you:

•Have a color palette in mind

•Trust our designers to select the best blooms available

•Want the best value for your budget

We design within your chosen color story using the freshest, most beautiful flowers in the shop that week.

Important:

You are choosing a color direction, not specific flower types.

Inspiration Driven (Color + 1-2 Specific Blooms)

This is for you if:

• You have a specific vision or inspiration photo

• Certain flowers are must-haves

• You want a more customized look

At the $125 level, we consult with you and design as closely as possible to your inspiration, while still working within seasonal availability and the overall cost.

Let’s Talk About Inspiration Photos (and Expectations)

We love inspiration photos—they’re incredibly helpful. But here’s what you should know:

Flowers are:

• Seasonal

• Natural (no two blooms are identical and colors can vary)

• Dependent on weekly availability

That means your final piece will be an interpretation, not an exact replica. Our goal is always the same: Create something that feels just as beautiful and aligned, even if it’s not identical.

Prom Flower Pickup & Care Tips

Once you’ve got your flowers, a little care goes a long way.

1. Keep flowers cool (avoid hot cars!)

2. Store in a refrigerator if possible (away from fruit)

3. Handle gently, these are fresh, delicate designs

We’ll make sure everything is packaged and ready for a smooth handoff during your assigned pick up window.

Orders can be placed in-store or by phone, (219)-464-3588.
