Classic Prom Poses to Strike on Party Night

Prom season is looming right around the corner and we can feel the buzz in the air. Hair, makeup and dresses galore are in the future for so many soon-to-be graduates. AirBrush has a quick hit list of prom poses you can use to make sure you have one of the classics in your camera roll for posting. Cheesy and fun? Or traditional and fun? We’ll let you decide, just keep scrolling for more.

Holding Hands

We’re starting things off innocently with the simple handhold. You and your date have quite a few options with this one. Single or double handhold. Looking at each other or away. Hands down or in the air in celebration. You can even do the last hand holding trend of one partner holding the hand of the other out of frame. Even we didn’t think there were this many options but you and your date are spoiled for choice with this prom pose.

Back to Front Hug

You may have seen this pose all over yearbooks from the eighties and nineties but that’s what makes it a classic. The arrangement is simple enough, one person usually the shorter takes the front and the taller gives a hug from the back. This shows off a three-quarter profile of your prom fits. For a quirky take, you can switch it around and have the bigger, taller person in front while the other reaches around.

Pinning the Corsage

The corsage started out with the ancient Greeks and has shown real lasting power. Usually, there are just two options with this, the corsage is worn on the wrist or pinned over the heart. You can capture the actually pinning or capture the moment just after. The pinner can kiss the hand just adorned or the pinned can smile admiringly can the flowers. You can also go for a funny moment and pull a pained face, pretending you’ve been stuck with the pin.

Kiss

Now, this prom pose may be a bit awkward but you can decide for yourself. Again you have a few options with this one. Keep it PG with kisses to the cheek, the forehead or the corner of the mouth. The person being kissed can wear a multitude of expressions; surprise, delight, interest or even a grimace for a laugh.  After these, a kiss on the mouth is left. We’re not suggesting a snog fest but an affectionate kiss on the mouth can convey the romance and depth of feeling you and your date feel for each other.
