Ceremony Urn Tutorial ~Flower Moxie 

Thanks so much 😊 We love reflexing older roses too - such a pretty look!

HAHAH, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Tutorials are awkward af, so we think this keeps it fun. XO

We love carnations too! One of our faves and tough as a goat!

Thank you for your kindness! It makes me less nervous to know I can make fun of myself later, I'm glad you enjoy the humor! XO

We're happy to spread the flower love! Glad you enjoyed!

I'm glad you enjoyed my little tutorial, Deb! Thank you for the kind words. 💗

Thank you for watching! XOXOX

Thank you for the kind words. 💗

So glad it helped!

I'm glad you got a laugh and a learn! Thank you for your kind comment and for not calling me a ho like some of my other channel viewers. 🤣

@@FlowerMoxie lol u are great

Thank you!! We appreciate it!

Thank you, kind lady! XO

There's a lot that would work! Salal, Pittosporum, Cocculus, Huck, Myrtle, Nagi, Nandina, Agonis to name a few. =)

Thank you for your kind comment, the world (and the internet) need more people like you! XO

We try to keep it light!

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you don't get offended by our off-beat humor! You'll want to have your flowers delivered on Thursday for a Sunday wedding. Also, see if your venue will let you set up on Saturday, or at least stick the flowers in a cool, unused room. XOXOX

@@FlowerMoxie Thanks!

So glad it helped, thank you for your kind words!

We're so glad you found us! Weddings can be stressful times, so we try to inject a little humor to keep it light. Having fun with flowers is always the goal! It's wonderful that you got to be a part of your friends wedding in such a special way and we're sure that it was beautiful! We find that fresh water works best for hydrating flowers and since we cater to mostly diy brides, we don't normally use quick dip. However, we know that a lot of professional florists use it with great success!

You're so right, I've been getting better about that! Here's what I used: 1 bunch of Leather Leaf 1/2 bunch of Baby Euc 1/2 bunch of Silver Dollar Euc 8-10 Burgundy Carnations 8-10 Freedom Red Roses 7-10 Pink X-Pression Roses

lemon leaf i didn’t see listed but you mentioned that after the leather leaf

We do have a simple video on transportation, but I need to make a better one. For these beasts, I typically tip out the water, put a spacer of some sort behind it and buckle it in my seat. But you have to pull the belt out all the way first so it will stay locked. Transporting is the worst thing about floristry.

@@FlowerMoxie Would you suggest renting a transport van?

@@sexidork2001 It really depends on how much you are building and how far you have to drive. I tend to be cheap and only rent a van if it's a big event. Do you have an SUV that could do it in a few trips?

Thank you, Edith!

Room temp and a few days work best! But if you need them to open quickly then I suggest blowing into the heads with the blow dryer on a cool setting. I do a few seconds per rose and the air blows the petals open without damaging them! I'm so glad this tutorial was helpful to you! XO

@@FlowerMoxie You are the best. Really appreciate the very useful tip. I will try it. Thanks!

Yup! I only green it out unless it needs to be a 360 arrangement. It not only saves money, but it allows you to put more flowers upfront!

Yay! We're happy to have you!

I sink some flowers to create dimension in my arrangement, and often it's the less expensive flower like a carnation or cushion flower. However, sometimes I do it based on color. For instance, if the predominant color is burgundy then I would sink in the dusty blush roses while making the burgundy carnations more prominent. Does that help??? Thank you for your kind comment and question!

@@FlowerMoxie Thank you, yes that is helpful. 😀

We're sorry you found the music distracting but are glad you loved the design and hopefully found the tutorial helpful! Thank you for the feedback!

Hello Tammy, I used about: - 1 bunch of Leather Leaf - 1/2 bunch of Salal - 1/4 bunch of Silver Dollar Euc - 13 Roses - 8-10 Carnations You can see a lot of other recipes on our Large Packages! flowermoxie.com/pages/moodboard-packages

@@FlowerMoxie I really want to do this for my centerpiece. You think I would need 10-15 more for the other side?.

@@tammynguyen5765 For 360 you could do 1 Leather Leaf, 1/2 Salal, 1/2 another green, 12 roses, 12 carns

@@tammynguyen5765 Also, we offer Custom Designs and a florist can walk you through it, build a specific recipe, and a cart. It's $35 and tots worth it because you're talking to a professional. flowermoxie.com/products/custom-design

Hi Lisa, it depends on how hot it is out there and what flowers you're using! I would say if it's over 85 then you may want to set them out a bit more closure to the ceremony or put them in the shade so the sun isn't beating down. Roses, poms, carnations, and greenery are hardy and will hold up. More delicate things like delphinium, stock, hydrangea could struggle. Just make sure you have a lot of water in your urn!

Absolutely! I don't dump it all out, but I definitely tip them and get most of it out. Yes, it's sturdy enough especially if you have your foam taped in....I gently support the flowers as I tip the water out. XOXO

It's Salal also called Lemon Leaf greenery. 💗

The flowers you're planning on making sound beautiful! We would recommend greening out your large arrangements on Wednesday. Greenery doesn't need as much hydration as flowers do, so to green out everything on Wednesday evening or afternoon will definitely let you get ahead of the game! Continue to check on the hydration of your cages/urns continuously and make sure that they are staying wet and continuing to provide hydration for any blooms, continuing to check even on the morning of the wedding. You don't have to place your flowers in a cooler or fridge, simply keep them in a cool dark area of your home, away from bright sunny windows and heating vents and everything will be totally fine!

@@FlowerMoxie thank you so much for your answer!! Love the idea 💡 I will do that 😊😍

Hello Janice, a few thoughts on this, and great question, btw! - Safety: I'm not a fan of floral knives for safety purposes, and because I cater to DIY couples and new florists I feel it'd be irresponsible to have them bust out a knife during a wedding week. Most florists I know who use knives have a permanent thumb scar and it takes a lot of practice and training to use them correctly. When you're working a wedding, you're pulling your snips in and out of your pocket on the go, so the knife could easily cause some damage. - Cleaner Cut: I can freely admit that it's a cleaner cut to use a sharp floral knife and will not pinch the stem the way snips can. Floral knives are sharp as all get out and must be to do the job correctly. - Event Florals: There's a different approach with event florals vs a special occasion arrangement. For special occasions, a florist's goal is to make that bouquet last as long as possible so they will typically arrange it with 'green' flowers so they will continue to open, cut stems with a knife underwater, etc. However, for event florals, the goal is not to make them last for a week, but for the flowers to look their very best on the wedding day. Flowers look the best a few days before they expire so a wedding florist is always trying to get her flowers to blow and open. For that reason, the extra steps and techniques are not necessary, in my opinion.

Hello Samantha! We recommend a Wednesday delivery for a Saturday wedding. The first day is prep and hydration, and you can design Thurs and Friday, but I really like to wait to use the roses on Friday, so maybe I green out on Wed or Thurs. Let us know if you have any more questions and feel free to check out our site for more learning! XO

I have 2 questions, 1- how would you design the ceremony centrepiece like the video and use it as a centrepiece for the headtable, would it be the same design? 2- how do you keep your flowers fresh from home if you don't have the commercial cooler to keep the flowers fresh

Hey there! For an arrangement that's going to be seen from all sides, think about break the arrangement up into quadrants and working diagonally across the top of the arrangement. Create your shape with your greenery and then begin adding your blooms, same way as we show in the video but work in those smaller quadrants all around so you're achieving the all around look. Also check out our Tall Centerpiece tutorial for some extra guidance!

@@FlowerMoxie How would I adjust my flower order to accommodate for this type of arrangement viewed from all sides?

You can absolutely use eucalyptus in place of the ferns in this design! Silver Dollar Eucalyptus is a great variety to use because it can hide a lot of your mechanics. If you'd like a little more movement, opt for Gunni Eucalyptus instead!

It's plastic! We sell them on our supplies site: flowermoxiesupply.com/collections/ceremony/products/white-classic-designer-resin-urn?variant=40196867391667

That's a ten dollar Ikea special! XO

We sell them! diyflowersupply.com/

For this arrangement we used 1/2 bu Leatherleaf fern, 1/4 bu Silver dollar eucalyptus, 1/4 bu Baby Eucalyptus, 9 Red Freedom Roses, 7 Burgundy Carnations and 6 Pink Xpression Garden Roses!

They've been SO HARD to get since the pandemic. Looks like I still have the copper and white ones available, so you could always spray paint them to be the color you want. diyflowersupply.com/collections/vases

Of course the pandemic. Okay Thankyou

@@nailpolish1493 Done ruined everything

This is a good approximate recipe for an urn of this size! 13 Freedom roses, 13 pink roses, 13 burgundy carnations, 1 bunch leatherleaf fern, 1/2 bunch salal, 1 buch baby eucalyptus per cage or urn

thank you for the feedback!
