 Oh behave!! All flowers are beautiful ~ whatever colour they are and they will suit any colour dress she wears.
She will love them, regardless of what colour, shape, size or flavour they are, because us girls love to receive flowers, and just the very thought of you getting some for her will definitely make her go weak at the knees.
Trust me, I'm a florist.
: )
Good luck and have a great evening!!

 Ooo! I just realised you are a guy!
Sorry about that!
In that case just go with something pretty and likely to suit any colour dress if you're not sure what colour dress she will be wearing. Perhaps your Mum could advise?
I think she'll be thrilled with the gesture so don't worry too much!

 The beauty of a black dress is that every color matches it! I would match it to YOUR tie if she's wearing a completely black dress. If you're decked out in black & white, well, in that case... - your choices are endless! Just find the most beautiful one and go with it!
Enjoy, sweetness!

Sweetheart, you have been given some great answers here to your question, why don't you use your common sense regarding what colour corsage would suit your dress.

A
reader, anonymous, writes (11 May 2008): A corsage is usually for prom, but can be used at other formal dances. Mine was a red rose with baby's breath sprigs around it. It typically matches you and your date's attire (her dress should match your tux's vest or tie), and your boutineer (the flower you pin to your tux).
It can be made of pretty much any flower arangement and can be made specially for you in advance (recommended that you order in advance) by your local florist.

 It's just a small amount of flowers - often 2 or 3 - tied together with ribbon etc that the lady fastens onto her dress and usually bought buy her date. Can also be in the form of a wristband of hairband and most florists will be able to do them - they do wedding corsages all the time so same thing really x Not sure how popular they are here - my daughter has her prom soon and says none of her friends are bothering but everyones different
