Year 12 Ball - order buttonholes/corsages early

A message from the Ball Committee

Year 12 families are strongly advised to order any floral buttonholes and/or corsages for the Year 12 Ball (Thursday 24 April) as early as possible, due to florists being under significant pressure with orders and floral arrangements for ANZAC Day (Friday 25 April). 

Many families have heard from a number of florists that they are already inundated with orders, and that earlier is better when thinking about buttonholes and/or corsages. 

The advice received from some contacts in the florist industry is that even if you do not know exactly what you require for the Year 12 Ball (flower, colour, etc), most florists have a 'first-come-first-served' list and will put your name down as a number in a line. Closer to the date, you can let them know what particular florals you are looking for.
