The most remarkable and awaited night of the year is coming and expectations are high: Wethersfield High School's Senior Prom is right around the corner. On June 6th, the Senior Class will be attending The Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville. If you don’t have your outfit ready yet, don't stress, we've got your back!

Students are talking about where to get their dresses. Some are checking out various boutiques such as Attianas, Dynamite, David's Bridal, Mariella Creations and Macy's. We are expecting to see a variety of colors from vibrant to dark as well as different styles, textures and trends. 

If you want to make sure your dress is one of one, follow the WHS Senior Prom page on Instagram. View student posts for inspiration and feedback from students on the boutiques they visited.

WHS Senior Chiara Gega recently purchased her dress from Dynamite Designs in Wallingford.  

“My experience with Dynamite was amazing.  The ladies were so welcoming and nice. They helped me find the perfect dress by giving me feedback and making adjustments as needed. I felt very supported from the moment I walked in. I genuinely loved that place!” said Chiara.

For students who are interested in men’s formal wear, there are several shops in the area such as Formals by Antonio in Rocky Hill, Men’s Warehouse in West Hartford, and several consignment and thrift shops that provide a variety of cost-effective selections. 

While tuxedos are the most traditional choice for formal wear, some choose to wear what matches their style. It is your time to stand out!

In case you are experiencing financial difficulties, the school offers helpful resources. Senior Zelda Walsh runs a special, reduced-price boutique where students can look at her closet options and find the perfect dress at a very good price. Stop by the office to check out the prom clothing rack.
