Spring is starting to creep its way into the Illinois air and so is prom season!  Photo booth of the stars is booking up fast for prom events and this year’s prom season is all about sophisticated silhouettes, elaborate beading, and illusion.  Be among the trendsetters and arrive in vintage great Gatsby lace-adorned styles that are great for any special occasion.

Coral is definitely a hot color for 2014 prom and wedding season.  It’s the grown up version of the girlish pink dresses we have seen so many times before but will make a huge impact with its bold shade.

Two piece dresses and removable sheer are all the rage.  High-waisted skirts with a cropped top will be seen everywhere like it has been since it hit the runway earlier this year.

Add a luxe touch of sparkle and bling with platform pumps and metallic clutches.  Other shoe options that are on trend this year include extremely beaded strappy heels, sparkly peep toe pumps, and shoes with flowery embellishments.

Glittery prom king and queen crowns photobooth props will be captured in all of your photobooth strips this year as well.  You can pick up a set of these shiny beauties for your own photo booth rental over at TheManicMoose store on Etsy.  Of course the favorite mustache and hat props are classic hits for posing inside the photobooth so be ready to see those options as well. 

Hair style trends are predicted to include soft loose curls for girls with length in their hair.

Ponytails are a classic choice for an elegant look and there are many options for wearing it either high or low.  Hair accessories are huge this season and you can expect to see headbands galore accessorizing up do’s.

Caviar tips will be spotted on teenage girls fingers everywhere.  Metallics, shimmer, mixed prints, and cuticle tattoos are all the rage this year for manicures.
