The Road to Prom Night: Preparing for the Big Day
The journey to prom night is almost as exciting as the event itself. From choosing the perfect dress to finding the right date to getting ready with friends, it is all important and matters. :)
Choosing the Right Prom Dress
Choosing the right dress can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. After all, consider what you feel most beautiful: colors, shapes, and overall styles. Your prom dress should reflect who you are: unique and stunning in your own right! So, start by determining your body type, setting a budget (we don’t want to break the bank but still want to do it right), and considering your school’s dress code. Try on different dresses and make a day of it. Grab your best girlfriend and an iced coffee, and get ready to travel to different boutiques to find the perfect dress. Better yet, save some time by checking out @jovanifashions on IG to find which retailers carry JOVANI because you’ll want to wear the BEST.

These features are sure to make you stand out and feel like a prom queen (whether your in the running or not). Speaking of, check out this sub-article below highlighting some recent trends!!
4 trends that will knock their socks off for Prom Season 2023
🌸 Floral prints, duh – Floral prints are always in style for spring and summer, and prom season is no exception! This season, we can expect to see a lot of floral print dresses in pastel shades like pink, lavender, and yellow. Who doesn’t love a classic flowy flower child dress that screams bohemian? Add some beach curls and a natural, glowy beat, and it’s a look!
😎Off-the-shoulder vibes – The off-the-shoulder style has been popular for a few seasons now, and it’s not going away anytime soon. This style is perfect for prom because it’s both elegant and trendy. Never too much or too little. It says, “I know I look good.. And what about it?”
😘 Two-piece never hurt anyone – Two-piece prom dresses have grown in popularity recently and are still a fab choice for this season. The crop top and skirt combo is a great way to show off some skin while still looking elegant.
✨ Sparkles and sequins, please! – Pairing a sequined detailed dress with a slick updo and some dangly earrings is a show-stopper. Prepare to be in the spotlight both figuratively and literally because those sparkles will look perfect under the lights, and so will you :)
🔆To be or not to be the brightest and boldest- This year, bright and bold colors are all the rage. There’s no shortage of statement-making shades, from electric blue to fuchsia, neon yellow to lime green. Choosing a bright and bold color will turn heads whether you opt for a full-length gown or a shorter cocktail dress.
😗Some sheer, my dear? – Sheer fabrics have been a popular trend for a while, and they’re still going strong this prom season. These dresses are all about playing peek-a-boo with your skin, from illusion necklines to sheer panels on the bodice or skirt. Sheer fabrics can add a touch of sexiness and sophistication to any prom look.
🤭It’s all in the details, lace details, that is- Lace is a timeless trend always in style, and this year it’s all about intricate lace details. From delicate floral patterns to bold, geometric designs, lace can add texture and depth to any prom dress.
Jovani Fashion offers a wide range of styles, so choosing a dress that reflects your unique taste is important. For example, if you prefer a more classic look, you might opt for a long A-line dress with simple details. Choosing a bold print or bright color might be the move if you’re more daring. Just go with what makes you feel beautiful. Period! Speaking of beautiful, below we highlighted some of the best dress looks of celebs ever!

Getting Ready with Friends
Getting ready for prom with your friends is one of the most fun parts of Prom. Spend the day getting your hair and makeup done, taking photos, and sharing stories. Take the time to relish the moment.
