Homecoming is right around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start planning out the long-awaited day. Deciding what to wear is always the question on every girl’s mind, and trying to match but stand out simultaneously can be a hard battle. Keeping up with the trends can be hard to do when it’s always changing, but thankfully there are set standards for a homecoming dance. Homecoming attire is semi-formal, and that means more casual than prom but bolder than a brunch date. The dresses are usually short and full of bling or kept to one solid color with a pop of detail. For boys, a button-down and tie, with a pair of slacks or dress pants will work perfectly.
Picking out the perfect dress is a task on its own, and can be even harder in a town lacking options. Being able to know how a dress will fit is almost a necessity for these occasions, but finding the perfect one in store can be hard. The best brick-and-mortar options local in Hendersonville are Dillards, Windsor, or smaller boutiques out in the Asheville area. Although, online might be the best option because of the variety, make sure to watch out for those shipping dates. Many popular sites for homecoming or prom dresses like Lucy in the Sky and Princess Polly USA are known to go past their expected arrival dates, so a backup plan might be needed if you’re going to risk it.
Going along with finding the perfect dress makes sure there are plenty of photos to remember it. Lots of local spots in Hendersonville are known to host West Henderson students ready to take photos and make memories. Some of the most popular spots are the Blue Ridge Parkway, Jump Off Rock, Biltmore Estate, and more local venues full of our beautiful mountain background.
Take advantage of all these fun options possible and make this day one you’ll never forget. Even these dance venues can make the perfect spot for catching those candids if you don’t want to go out and book a venue. Speaking of booking and reservations, being all dressed up is the perfect reason to treat yourself and your friends to a fancy dinner. There are many spots in downtown Hendersonville and out in Asheville perfect for a fancy gathering and a guaranteed five-star meal. Although, make sure to prioritize staying ahead of schedule and get your tickets, reservations, and outfits as soon as possible.
