I keep coming back to these videos as my wedding date creeps closer. I can't wait to get my flowers in my hands and create with them. ❤ Until then, I'll keep watching and planning.
Love the video, Thank you also I love that you used zip ties! It had dawned on me to use them but wasn't sure if it would harm in anyway but certainly seems much easier then the tape.
Yes, they're super easy to use! When working with some softer stems like anemones, tulips or ranunculus, using a rubberband or a pipe cleaner works great too!
@@FlowerMoxie ohh I hadn't ever thought of using a pipe cleaner! That's brilliant Thank you! I Love Your videos and site btw so incredibly helpful with a sweet fun energy 💗
Beautiful! Do you have any videos with the Dusty Rose and Cream or Peaches and Cream collection? I'm eyeing both for my wedding and can't decide!! I want to see them video action lol
We don't have those specifically, but we do have a few tutorials out with similar color stories! Check out our Boho Centerpiece and Spiral Bridal Bouquet Videos!
You definitely can! Take the loose petals that you've collected and place them in a small plastic trash bag. Mist the inside of the bag and petals with water and then loosely tie up the bag and place in your refrigerator set at it's warmest setting. Your petals will still look great for the big day!
I prefer to make my bridal bouquets the day before so the flowers have time to open to their full capacity. Once they are crowded together they don't really open much. =)
How do you transport the centerpieces? Do you store them in water ahead of time? I’m worried the water will spill out of the vases when we bring the centerpieces to the venue.
Watch our transportation video for some tips! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QffJ_M3Hxxw.html. You can also pour out some of the water before you transport your arrangements to prevent spilling, just be sure to bring a watering can and refill the vases with water when you get to the venue! You want to make sure the flowers still have hydration!
Nope! You can use a regular refrigerator for this! Since most of our DIY Brides don't have access to a professional floral cooler, a fridge at home will work! Just be sure to raise the temp in your fridge to it's highest setting and wrap up any fruits, like apples.
You shouldn't have to wire blooms, unless it's a specialty flower that is prone to curving and bending under their own weight like Ranunculus. Flowers do best with less handling so you don't need to wire things all willy nilly. =) XXXX, Amy
Absolutely! When using chicken wire you can fill the vase up to the top with water to ensure that all stems are drinking and staying hydrated! If using floral foam, we like to have a small reservoir of water in the bottom of the vase to make sure that the foam is staying saturated.
What is a good flower to use if I want to have long (15+ inches all around) pieces branching out horizontally at the base? Creating a 'canopy' like effect over the table? (Using tall vases btw). Thank you in advance. And your videos are awesome.
Thanks so much! You'll definitely want to work with a longer stemmed flower- roses, delphinium and snapdragons have longer stems that would give you som length. I find using greenery like Italian Ruscus and Leatherleaf fern really help to give a "canopy" look too. Italian ruscus can be between 2-3 ft long at times, so it's a great greenery to use!
If they're good, those little stems of greenery would be a great filler for a bud vase or tucked into a smaller vase or into foam at the bottom of a compote! I like to keep a little vase with water and place any sprigs of greenery or buds I want to save and then use them later in my designs!
