How to Keep Your HOCO Corsage and Boutonniere Fresh All Night
Homecoming flowers are more than just an accessory; they’re part of the memory. The only problem? Corsages and boutonnieres are delicate, and a long night of photos, dancing, and celebrating can take a toll. The good news is, with a little care, your flowers can stay picture-perfect from the first photo to the last dance.
Best Flowers for HOCO Corsages and Boutonnieres
Some blooms are naturally longer-lasting than others. Roses, orchids, and spray carnations are all strong choices that hold up well through a night of fun. Ask your florist for durable options if you’re worried about wilting.
How to Keep HOCO Corsages Fresh Before the Dance
Heat is the enemy of fresh flowers. Store your corsage or boutonniere in the fridge before the dance, away from fruits and vegetables that give off ethylene gas. Take them out just before it’s time for photos.
Tips for Handling Boutonnieres and Corsages at HOCO
Tight hugs, constant adjusting, or pressing on the petals can shorten the life of your flowers. Secure them properly with pins or bands and let them do their job.
Can You Spray HOCO Flowers with Water?
If your corsage or boutonniere looks a little thirsty before you head out, a quick, light spritz of water can refresh the petals. Just don’t overdo it. It should feel like dew, not a downpour.

HOCO Corsage and Boutonniere Care FAQs
How long will a corsage or boutonniere last?
With proper care, most HOCO flowers stay fresh for the entire night. Hardy blooms like roses and orchids often last even longer.
Should I keep my corsage or boutonniere in the fridge?
Yes. Store them in the fridge until just before photos or the dance. Avoid placing them near fruits or vegetables that release gases.
