The History of Prom Night!

Reno Charlton


The proms of today are very elaborate and exciting affairs, and ones that are talked about and prepared for by students long before the actual event. The prom has become a who's who of high school society and as the dance approaches the pressure is on to find a suitable prom partner, and preferably someone that can give you a helping hand to the coveted title of prom king or queen.

Proms weren't always the exciting frenzy of posh outfits, stunning hairstyles, stretch limos and hot dates as they are today. In fact, during the early part of the twentieth century, the dance was a small-time, simple affair with little in the way of organization or preparation.

As the decades passed and different types of music exploded on to the scenes, high school proms began to become more and more elaborate. Live bands and huge halls were hired for the event, and students began to take more of an interest in the dance, how they looked at the dance and who they took with them to the dance! High schools began to add to the excitement of the prom by introducing the idea of the prom king and queen, a title that all the most popular couples vied for year after year.

With each decade came a new type of band, changing fashions and increasing excitement, which has culminated in the high school prom that we know today. What started many moons ago as a stiff, very polite and downsized affair has turned into the most exciting event of the year for most students.

The Modern Prom

The high school prom of today is a flurry of excitement and preparation, where the stores stock up with elaborate gowns and tuxedos, the limo companies prepare for a massive influx of bookings and the students fret about everything from how they should wear their hair to how they should ask their dream date to the dance.

For many schools, the live bands have been replaced by sizzling DJs with a range of the latest tunes to get the students on the dance floor, and the atmosphere in the huge halls hired for these dances is usually electric. Once dinner is over, the evening tends to become more and more exciting, with the announcement of the prom king and queen, everyone strutting their stuff on the dance floor, and relationships often moving on to the next level for some couples.

Getting That Unique Look

One of the most exciting yet stressful parts of preparing for this night of all-out excitement is finding the perfect outfit, and this is particularly true for the girls, who now have such a wide choice of dresses and gowns it can be hard to know which way to turn. Every girl at the prom wants to look special and unique, and stepping from the limo and walking in to the crowded room feeling like a princess can be a wonderful feeling. However, it can also be a feeling that lasts for only several seconds as you realize that every other girl in the room has the same dress and hairstyle as you!

After all of your months of preparation, this can be a real downer. However, there is a way to avoid this problem - don't shop at the local mall where practically every other female going to the dance is likely to shop. If everyone shops at the same mall, it is only natural that the same dress will catch at least a few girls eyes. And if the choice is limited, this is even more likely to happen.

So, what's the answer? Don't limit your choice to the few shops at the local mall! Instead, you could have access to fabulous prom dresses from all over the country, which means that you have a pretty good chance of getting a dress that nobody else is going to be wearing! And how can you get access to this wealth of wonderful outfits? By going online.
