First, let's tackle your decision on corsage style. Franky, most girls prefer a wrist corsage. They don't have to worry about getting stabbed or squashing the corsage when they dance. Also, with many of today's strapless, form-fitting, or spaghetti-strap dresses, there's simply no room for the traditional pin-on one. You can ask your date about her preference, but chances are she'll choose a wrist corsage.
Your next decision is on flowers. Roses and carnations are the traditional corsage flowers, but roses are a much more romantic choice for prom. The best colors for the flowers are either white or red. It is best if you choose a corsage with two flowers. This creates a "balanced" corsage, plus too many flowers can make the corsage look like a whole bunch of greenery. (Not the look you're going for, trust me!)
Now, you must choose a ribbon for the corsage. This is when co-ordinating with your date is KEY! You must know her dress color (and specifically) when you select the ribbon. The ribbon must match. If you don't want to ask her about her dress color (or she wants to surprise you,) then ask one of her friends. They will be glad to find out for you, and chances are they already know. When your corsage matches her dress perfectly, she'll be thrilled and surprised. The extra work here will definately be worth it.
