Prom is an event that is looked forward to by many. With pictures, food, dresses, suits and flowers all involved in the big day, there is a lot to think about and plan to get ready. Two of the biggest things to plan are where to make a reservation for food, and where to take pictures. Raleigh and the surrounding area has many options, and with Millbrook’s prom just days away on Saturday, April 12, here is a list of some of the best places for dinner and pictures.
The JC Raulston Arboretum is one of the popular places to take pictures for many events including prom, senior photos and engagement shoots. With gazebos, arches and other pretty structures, there are many different options for backgrounds and scenery for these photos. Along with the varying structures, there are also a wide range of flowers and plants. The Arboretum has over 6000 different plant species around the grounds. This is a great spot for pictures for a lot of space, minimal noise and a lot of different background options. Located on NC State University's campus, it is also close to many restaurants and activities to do before the dance itself.
