You’re probably wondering, “When is the best time to buy your dream dress?”. This prom dress situation is getting so real as the season approaches. Prom is like a rite of passage, and you should get your style trends in a row before you start shopping!

Starting early is the best move for a successful season. Fashion companies big and small start their prom collections as early as December of the previous year. Talk about trying to Ace the season! High school juniors and seniors should get ready for the hype that comes up with this time of year.

Secure your style in the Facebook group by going with the motto “the early bird gets the worm”, for the next six months. Because if someone else flies in and swoops your style out from underneath you, then you must look at your other options. Cop your dream dress by starting the prom dress hunt now so you won’t have to deal with that last-minute stress. Whether you are looking to stun your friends with a Ballgown or want to be different with a short prom dress, it’s always good to look at your options before making the buy for a dress that will last a lifetime. By doing so, you will be able to try on different gowns and experiment with colors and embellishments to find the one that truly fits your vibe.

Procrastination during Prom season may be tempting with college commitments or college exams falling upon you. But it’s important to make this time of the year fun as well! Planning ahead will make the coming days stress free and will guarantee an epic prom night. Set your reminders, sign up to an email list, and get yourself in a dressing room, because this prom season you are going to slay the game with your unique style!

The chill is thawing, and the flowers are calling for the Prom season in the fashion industry! Everyone and their mom are asking, “When are prom dresses hitting stores?”. Brands gear up their inventory in late winter, so their beautiful dresses are flying off the shelves the first day Spring hits. The hype of style is bigger before the night itself, and some of the most dazzling moments are when you are shopping through the aisles of gorgeous gowns. When you look now, it’s a sneak peak of what’s going to be hot for the prom season!

By browsing now for prom dress trends, you can put together what your dream fit is going to be. Whether you are looking for sequins, satin, or side slits, these styles are simply ones that you will scream over. Then, once prom season comes and you’ve found your perfect dress, you can flex on some of the most fashionable pieces your friends and family has ever seen.

Your prom props do not have to cost a million dollars, the angles and edits are what’s going to make the vision come to life! Add your personal touch of creativity and authenticity to the photos and you will have the best memories to reflect on while saving a coin or turn to your social media profiles for the easiest DIY projects that will make for a fun activity for you and your friends to do. Whether you hang streamers from your overhead lamp, borrow a nice car from your dad’s friend, or even make a huge disco ball out of Styrofoam, your prom look will still be magical when the execution comes from a place of passion and love.

The Prom 2024 trends call for florals, feathers, metallics, sheer, and satin that will truly make your presence pop! If you are looking to wear one of these marvelous dresses, then going with a simple background will be best so you can truly take center stage and have all eyes on you. Using backdrops such as a simple curtain or stone wall would be the best place to have your prom pictures shine. Yet, adding a bouquet of flowers will be a beautiful prop to spice things up!

If you are wearing a ballgown prom dress, then we highly suggest making your Prom photos look like a mystical and magical wonderland. Getting lots of flowers, candles, and shooting right outside your home will make for the perfect scene! Take off one shoe and put it in front of you to genuinely get that Cinderella look. Another option is to visit the Prom venue before everyone else gets there to have your Cinderella moment! @spazzoutshell did just that with these beautiful photos that make her inner princess truly shine!

Looking to wear a petite prom dress? Then make a splash with your props! Go big with disco balls, confetti, and streamers to make your presence shine through the photos. Some picture-perfect dresses that we suggest for petite size ladies include sequin, satin, and chiffon dresses that bring out all your curves.

Master the madness of prom season by preparing ahead of time for the celebratory event! Being fully ready for the big night calls for a list of to-dos beforehand to make sure everything stays afloat. Whether that is choosing a glamorous prom dress (and making sure no one else has your fit), having your appointments booked, and having your tech thought through, we’re here to give you some guidelines for Prom.

Step 1: The Vision 🔮

Figuring out your outfit does not need to feel like a chore, because we all have enough of those! Get started by using Pinterest to make mood boards, collaborative Instagram collections, or even a Miro board to get your Prom vision out there. If you and your crew want to color coordinate, these are great ideas for how to show up on the big day in style, while being well prepped for it!

Step 2: The Appointments 📆

Next, make sure that all your appointments are booked! Whether that is carving out some time for you and your friends to do each other’s makeup to save a coin or going to your local beauty guru to make you look extra glammed up! Most importantly, make sure your prom dress is perfectly tailored to your liking. Book that tailoring appointment ASAP before all the slots are filled up! Next, get that hair appointment in for your updo with a halter prom dress or a new hair color to match your vibrant fit. Finally, get the group together and figure out a time and date for Prom photos. Whether it will be your whole class joining or your whole group of friends, you want to make sure that this is coordinated so everyone is involved!

Step 3: The Trends 📊

Utilize your socials to keep track of popular trends and sounds that you would like to use on the big date. From snapping transitions to dancing transitions - making a list of videos you would want to create will make them easier to find on Prom night.

Step 4: The Checklist ✅

Lastly, prepare a digital checklist in your notes app, group Snapchat, or Prom Facebook group to ensure that the night of you have your phone charged, a portable charger, extra accessories packed, a makeup kit, and an emergency kit. If you are taking a limo or using ride-sharing apps for your friend’s fashionably late entrance and not-so-early exit - make that prom playlist so that you and your friends are bumping to the best tunes throughout the night.

Squad up, get organized, and make Prom a truly unforgettable event where the memories will last a lifetime!

What do I need for Prom night?

Good vibes and fun times! But on a more serious note, making sure that you have extra makeup up, accessories, and an emergency kit is crucial to making your night a true success. Also, you cannot forget your ID, wallet, and some emergency cash for the afters - whatever you and your friends plan for after the event. Make sure that you are all calm before the chaos begins!

It’s that time of the year to be feeling grateful and thankful for all that you have and all that’s coming to you this year and into the next. Another thing you’re probably grateful for? Your amazing sense of fashion! Wearing the proper attire is a bit challenging when it comes to gatherings with family or friends. That’s why a dress code is always nice to follow to make sure your fashion style is on point! Whether you are attending a Friendsgiving or more formal family event, Camille La Vie has the tips for your specific occasion.

Friendsgiving:

For Friendsgiving, you may want to show off your unique and elegant flair for pictures and videos the night of the event. You do not want to be too over the top, since this is only just a group of friends. Yet, you do want to stand out on your feed! Choosing a midi or short dress may be a great choice for these kinds of nights. Also, make sure to layer as the days get colder and this allows you to make adjustment to your outfit throughout the evening. We suggest looking into shawls or bolero jackets for your night! To finish off the looks wear flats or low-rise heels that will eventually just come right off as you get cozy but will make the perfect entrance. Now it’s time to get the turkey and the dancing on with the friends you care about most!

Formal Gatherings:

Dinner parties, elegant soirées, and eventful galas take up a lot of November’s time. With the holiday season upon us, it is a great time to start looking towards holiday dresses for these special events! Whichever thanksgiving dress that you choose, considering a midi or long garment to cover your legs during the cold season may be essential. November never fails to deem not windy! Also, consider a long jacket for these kinds of nights or even a long sleeve style to keep yourself cozy. Complete your look with a mid or high heel – but don’t be afraid to bring along some flats for when you need to relax. Raise those glasses and cheers the room to grace and gratitude!

Depending on the celebration, a Thanksgiving dress code is good to follow so you can stand out in all the right ways. Be yourself and dress in confidence while being mindful of the gathering or event’s aesthetic. Whatever your decision may be, embrace being in the present with your friends and/or family and feel the happiness embody your style and smile. Shop the Camille La Vie collection today to find the right dress for your next Thanksgiving event.
