-
Shop for the dress first
It is no secret that shopping for a prom dress can be challenging, no matter how exciting it is. And that is why you should shop ahead. You have such a wealth of options when it comes to styles, lengths, colors, silhouettes, necklines, and so on, that it will surely take time to find your dream dress. Moreover, it is much easier to find a tux that matches the dress than the other way around. You can filter your choices by color or fabric to make the process less stressful.

Matching the tie to the dress
Is it necessary to match the tie to the dress? Well, not really. But if it does match, it can look great. A lot of prom couples, instead of going through the hassle of finding the perfectly matching tux and dress, choose to match the tie to the dress to pull both the outfits together. You can either pick a tie in the same color as your dress or opt for a different shade of the same color.
-
Picking your corsage
The corsage and boutonnière are two of the most traditional prom essentials that are still popular. And the good thing is that they are great for creating a cohesive look as a couple. While they should be chosen to match the dress and tux, you can also sneak in little details that will give them a more personal twist. For instance, if your date is wearing a white boutonnière to match his blue suit, you can ask the florist to add a flower in a similar shade to your dress.
-
Wear complementary accessories
In addition to your dress and tux or suit, you can also match your accessories. For instance, you can match the color of your shoes.
