From Dresses to Dinners… The Perfect Prom Night Starts Here!
The time that your teen has been waiting for all year is finally here! Proms are the social event of your kid’s high school life so you better believe they’ll want the best of everything for the big night. Lucky for you, there is still plenty of time to make the arrangements necessary to give your teens the night of their life. The key is early preparation and knowing where to go for the best in prom attire, pre-prom prep, dinner, as well as the post-prom activities.
If you’re having trouble getting started, we’ve put together the best of 2015’s prom trends to make the planning process much easier for you!
Best Prom Duds
Vintage and Retro looks have been making a comeback over the recent years and if your daughter has expressed an interest in this style, the best place to go for her ideal prom dress is a place called Tatyana. Located in the Haight neighborhood, you’ll be amazed by the selection of fantastic formal dresses that harken back to the 50s and 60s. Your vintage princess can also find the perfect shoes and accessories to complete her prom look without ever leaving the store.
In Union Square, you’ll find several different options for finding the perfect prom dress, but we recommend stopping into eDressit. Here you’ll find a wide variety of styles, from short cocktail styled dresses to the long formal dresses more commonly found at prom. No matter what style your daughter has, she’s sure to find the perfect prom dress here.
We can’t forget the young men that will also be attending prom this year. To make sure he’s the best dressed guy at prom, head over to Black Tie Tuxedos and Couture Menswear. They have suits and tuxes from the most exclusive designers, such as Valentino, Hugo Boss, and Michael Kors. This place will make sure your son is one sharp dressed man when they’re done with him.
Pre-Prom Prep
While some kids are gifted with the ability and desire to do their own hair and makeup, to make this prom night a truly VIP experience, you may want to consider sending them to a professional. There are several incredible hair salons around San Francisco, so it all comes down to personal preference. In Union Square, you might want to check out Le’ Style de Creatif Par Victoria while over in the Outer Mission is the Chit Ma Ma Salon where they can do her hair and makeup for the big night.
Pre-Prom Grub
Most prom nights start out with the families taking an ungodly amount of pictures of their precious children, their friends, and their dates. After that, the kids head off for their first night of adult freedom. The first stop is usually dinner at a nice restaurant. For some traditional American fare like American Wagyu New York Strip, tell them to stop into BIX in the Financial District or the House of Prime Rib in Nob Hill. For something a little more fancy, Chapeau! in Inner Richmond is fantastic for classic French fare.
Hopefully these ideas will help you and your teens plan a prom night that they and their friends will remember for a lifetime. Just one more thing! Don’t forget the prom limousine. If they’re going with a big group of friends a Bay Area limo company like Angel Worldwide Transportation can give them a party on wheels before and after the prom in a white stretch Hummer or an Escalade Limo. When you set them up with a limo for their prom night, you can always be sure that they’re safe and will arrive home at a pre-arranged time with the driver. With these suggestions, your kids will have a prom night they’ll never forget!
