I would like to have red and white roses that are cascading for my bouquet and handtied for my bridesmaids. If anyone hase direction, it would help greatly.
Does anyone have directions on how to make a rose wedding bouquet?
Cascading bouquets are much harder, you might just want to stick with handtieds cause they are super easy. Go to Ragshop or a store comparable, and get floral wire, floral tape, a plain acetate white ribbon, and a pretty ribbon and some pearl pins. Buy bunches of roses (You'll probably need somewhere around 25 for the bride and a bit less for each of the bridesmaids) clean the thorns and leaves off from about 1/4 of the way down the stem on. Cut the stems at an angle, and put them in lukewarm water. You don't want the rose heads really tight cause they don't look good in the bouquet then. When they're a little open, they lay into each other nicely, instead of the bottoms of the rose butting off each other and sticking out all sorts of weird directions. Leave them in the water for at least a few hours so they get plenty of water. Then when you're ready to make your bouquest, take your roses out of the water and clean off all the rest of the leaves and thorns on the stem. Put about 1/4-1/2" of the wire into the base of the head of the rose (the green part) and wrap it around the rose about 1/2 way down. Take the floral tape, and wrap the wire and the rose about the same length. Do that with all the roses you're using, and then just hold one... and keep adding around the sides until you get what size you want. If you're doing this for the first time, you might want to use the floral tape every few you add, cause sometimes it's hard to handle in your hand. Don't tape it TOO tight, cause you can adjust the heights of the roses a bit that way when they're already taped. Your bouquest should somewhat look like a mushroom shape. When you're finished, re-cut the stems and put them back into clean water until a few hours before you're actually going to use them. Remember to keep them refridgerated when you're finished. You don't want them falling apart on your special day! Then, take them out of the water, dry the stems off, cut the bouquet to the length you want. Take your acetate ribbon (the crappy kind of ribbon) and wrap it along the stems, pinning it in place. (I usually use 2 pins. 1 for the start, and one for the end) Then take your pretty ribbon, and do the same. I usually use a few pearl pins to hold the ribbon on and for a pretty detail. Good luck! *Note: Floral tape sticks to itself, and only itself! Stretch the tape out a little, and it gets sticky*

What is the significance of tossing the bridal bouquet?
Where and how did it come to be what it is now.
And am I correct that whomever catches it is supposed to get married next?
What is the significance of tossing the bridal bouquet?
as the bride left the festivities, she tossed her bouquet to a friend---so the friend would have luck and protection. The custom evolved to imply that whoever caught the bouquet would be lucky and wed next. Flowers were also believed to be pungent and ward off evil spirits.
The garter- since the guests in olden times would literally rip off pieces of the brides gown as good luck tokens, eventually, the bride simply threw her garter to the crowd. Another custom from early England: Friends would follow the newlyweds to their wedding chamber, where the groom's friends would take off their stockings, then hurl them at the groom. The thrower who first hit the groom in the nose would be next to wed.
Reply:You are correct about who catches it, and it's the same with the hubby tossing the garter to the single guys. I'm not sure where the customs originated though.
Reply:not sure about all that but it is true that supposedly the one to catch it is the next to wed. . .i think it's a superstitious thing more than anything. just like the man to catch the bride's garder is next to wed also. . .

What purple flowers are good in a wedding bouquet?
The theme for my wedding is a darker purple and I have no idea about flowers.
What purple flowers are good in a wedding bouquet?
Irises, freesia, lilacs...they all smell terrific! Also orchids are gorgeous. You can a lso look for lavender colored roses. They would offset all the deep purple. And Maybe throw in some white mini roses too. Lavendar is good too. These all have amazing scents to them.
Goodluck and CONGRATS!!!
Reply:Lilacs are beautiful and smell wonderful.
Reply:Lilacs and orchids are awesome! But also try irises.
Reply:Irises
Reply:Depends when you are getting married, if it is between know and May, try these flowers:-
Cirsium Vulgae-its a cornflower, bit prickly.
Centaur ea Nigra-Lovely
Aubrieta
Tragopogon Porrifolius.
The above flowers all grow within the British Isles..
Happy Wedding days....
Reply:Iris's look really good with roses.
Reply:Hi
Vanda Orchids look amazing! but there are some lovely choices for this colour theme - roses are perfect for your bouquet. We would suggest Blue Curiosa or Cool Water which have a blue tone (try putting these names into google for these images then you can get an idea of what they look like) - alternatively for a more contemporary look try Calla Lily's Picasso or Purple Haze
For added interest there are lots of flowers in this colour palette to choose from including freesia, agapanthus, hyacinth, veronica, brodia or lisianthus.
If you are organising your flowers try the planning section where there are hints on what flowers you might need and how much they'll cost.

Is there a website where you can put flowers of your choice together to see how they would look in a bouquet?
I've searched for pictures of what I am looking for, but am not having much luck.
I like roses, ranunculus, sweet peas, mini calla lilies, gerber daisies, and hydrangea.
I am getting married in July, and I know we REALLY need to get this figured out ASAP.
If you can help in any way, I would greatly appreciate it! :)
Thank you!

Oh, how I wish there was such a website, however here is a suggestion:
Search for pictures of the flowers you want (if youre having problems finding pictures of the blooms you want search for "wholesale flower" and you should be able to find some pictures that way)
Print them out on paper (you may have to play around with the scaling)
Cut out individual blooms and arrange them in the shape that you want
I know its really primative but it should work.

There isn't a florist at terminal 2

But like the other answer said, if there were it would most likely be overpriced and of poor quality. Why not buy her favourite perfume from the duty free, will last longer and be better value. And she's worth it , right?

Can I use real hibiscus flowers in my bridal bouquet?
I'm not sure if they'll last at all. Do I have to use silk if I want those flowers?
Can I use real hibiscus flowers in my bridal bouquet?
well, my only experience with hibiscus is from the bush I had in my yard. They are absolutely beautiful, but the blooms dont last long. It would bloom in the morning, and the bloom would shrivel up and fall off by evening time. Not sure how they would last in a boquet. You would probably have to put them together the morning of the wedding. you could practice. Get some hibiscus, put them in a small bouqet early in the morning, carry them around for awhile, leave them sitting indoors for awhile, see how well it holds up. Good luck with them, they are sooo beautiful and it would be great if it works for you!
Reply:the hibiscus plant i have its flowers usually only last a few days. i don't see why u can't have them in your bridal bouquet. just don't count on the hibiscus flowers to last as long as the rest. if u are having multiple flowers and congrats!

What is the best way to preserve a wedding bouquet at home?
Because it's one of the most important events in your life, you will probably want to preserve your wedding bouquet. You can not only preserve your flowers, but you can also place them in a display case along with other keepsakes from your wedding. Because dry flowers are rather fragile, you should keep them out of direct sunlight no matter where you display or store them.
A word of advice here: since you will be busy with your wedding, you should have a friend or relative grab your bouquet and snap a few photos of it from different angles. (Don't skip this step! You will need these photos for later.) Then, he or she needs to place it inside an airtight plastic bag right away. The bag should then be placed in a refrigerator for one night only. The flowers will then need to be dried before they lose any more of their freshness.
There are two methods you can use to dry and preserve your wedding bouquet. With the first method, you will need to carefully take the bouquet apart. Trim the flower stems down to about two or three inches long because you want to preserve the flowers, not a bunch of stems. Then, lay the flowers out on a flat surface. Set the bouquet holder, if there is one, aside for now.
The next step is to round up some flat, deep containers that have airtight lids. Make sure that each container is large enough to contain the flowers, no matter how large they may be. Place an inch or so of silica gel into the bottom of each container. (Silica gel is not a gel, it is actually granular. It will help to absorb the water from the flowers.) Then, lay the flowers from your wedding bouquet one by one in the gel. Place alike flowers - since they take the same amount of time to dry- together in the same containers. Make sure the flowers are spaced evenly apart and that they do not touch one another.
The third step is to slowly place more of the silica gel around the flowers in the containers. Use your finger to mound the gel up around the flowers, then place the lids on the containers tightly. Carefully place all of the containers in a cool, dry place where they will not be bothered. Check on the flowers after three days. The smaller flowers usually take about three days, while the larger varieties can take up to a week to dry.
After all of the flowers from your wedding bouquet are dry, you will need to carefully remove them from the silica gel. Then, use florist's wire to attach the stems together. Use the photos that your friend or relative took to help you remember how the bouquet was put together and how the flowers were arranged. Carefully replace the flowers in in the holder, if it had one.
When you have put the entire bouquet back together, the final step is to spray it with a dried flower spray that you can purchase at your local hobby store. Or, you can use hair spray. The spray will help to protect the dried flowers.
The second method you can use to dry and preserve your wedding bouquet is to "hang dry" them.
This is a much easier method than the first one, but the flowers will look and feel differently. The flowers will be stiff and some of the colors will be faded more.
To use this method, simply hang your wedding bouquet upside down in a cool, dark closet for about a week. Once they are completely dried, you can spray them with a dried flower spray or with hair spray.

Go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and get some silica gel. If you are in any place with humidity and hang it, you'll have a problem with mold and/or rot.
Reply:I hung mine upside down in the garage and it turned out great!
There are flower drying products you can use. One is a powder that you submerge the flowers in I think that would only work on a bouquet if you did each flower individually then put it back together. There is also a spray to preserve them once they are dried. I did some individual flowers from my mom's funeral that way and they turned out really nice.
Reply:If you really can't afford to get it professionaly done then there are a few steps. PRACTICE THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE YOU DO IT TO THE ACTUAL BOQUET.
1. Put it in a low temp oven for a few minutes (like 3) to quickly dry out any water. bottom rack in a holder so flowers don't touch metal...watch them so they don't burn or wilt.
2. Take them out, let them cool. Give a few light coatings of hairspray to hold their shape.
3. Hang them upside down in a dark, cool place like a closet for a few weeks.
Honestly though, drying flowers well takes lots of practice so I think if you really want them dried you should spring for the pro. Also, see if you can have it recreated with silk flowers as your keepsake. That is usually cheaper than the pro drying services.
Reply:hanging it upside down in a dry place AWAY from pets and kids. that is what i did for about a month (might have been a little longer) and it is still in great shape.
**after reading the other posters, i guess i am lucky mine came out great. :) i do not even own hair spray :)

Does anyone know how to make a Fruit Bouquet ?
I want to make a fruit boquet for my nieces first birthday. I have gotten the idea from ediblearrangement. I ordered a basket for a co- worker a few weeks ago and it was so cute. The birthday party is at a park and I'm not sure what to put on the fruit to keep it from turning brown. I've done some research and I heard about using lemon juice or pineapple juice but I don't want the whole boquet to taste like lemon or pineapple juice. Does anyone know if I spray it on the fruit or if I did the fruit in the juices before placing them on skewers if they will taste like the juice? Is there some kind of fresh fruit spray I can buy? If so where? Any ideas on making this boquet would be very helpful. Thanks.
Does anyone know how to make a Fruit Bouquet ?
A Fruit Bouquet
Fruit Bouquet
Serving size 30 people
1 Large pineapple wash and trim leaves then cut the bottom to make it level
7 Small oranges pealed and cut in half in a zig-zag pattern
7 Kiwi fruit pealed and cut in half in a zig-zag pattern
20 Large strawberries washed
5 Pounds red grapes remove stems and wash
5 Pounds green grapes remove stems and wash
48 Wooden skewers
Use about 5-6 grapes per skewer using only one color for each skewer. Do this to all the skewers. Leave about 1/2 inch at the end of each skewer for the strawberries, oranges, and kiwi to fit. Push each skewer into the pineapple mixing colors all around. Try not to make the pineapple lopsided so it will not fall over. Then at random place the kiwi, strawberries, and oranges on the end of each skewer making it look like a bouquet of flowers. Some of the skewers may not fit on the pineapple, use your best judgment. You can always add more later.
Reply:I am trying to make one as well.... tips and links are very much appreciated!

1 Large pineapple wash and trim leaves then cut the bottom to make it level
7 Small oranges pealed and cut in half in a zig-zag pattern
7 Kiwi fruit pealed and cut in half in a zig-zag pattern
20 Large strawberries washed
5 Pounds red grapes remove stems and wash
5 Pounds green grapes remove stems and wash
48 Wooden skewers
Use about 5-6 grapes per skewer using only one color for each skewer. Do this to all the skewers. Leave about 1/2 inch at the end of each skewer for the strawberries, oranges, and kiwi to fit. Push each skewer into the pineapple mixing colors all around. Try not to make the pineapple lopsided so it will not fall over. Then at random place the kiwi, strawberries, and oranges on the end of each skewer making it look like a bouquet of flowers. Some of the skewers may not fit on the pineapple, use your best judgment. You can always add more later.
Reply:I am trying to make one as well.... tips and links are very much appreciated!
What should I do with my wedding bouquet?
I really don't want to throw it away but I don't want dried up flowers just lying around the house. Is there a cheap but decorative way of displaying them?
(I already have them hanging upside down to preserve them a little)

well if youre going to make a scrapbook of your wedding you can always put it in there and preserve them.
some people always get them dried and framed with their wedding photo and invitations...
Preserving Your Wedding Bouquet
If you have decided to preserve your bouquet, you have two options for air-drying. One is to bring the flowers to a professional florist and use their expertise to get the project done. If you chose this route, you need to have the bouquet in the florist's hands as quickly as possible after the wedding. Your second choice is to air dry the flowers by yourself. Hang the bouquet upside down on a wire or taught string. Find a dark location with good airflow (well-ventilated), cool updrafts and that is not too humid. An attic, large closet, dark shed or garage are several good places. Hanging the bouquet upside down will keep the stems as straight as possible. To maintain the best color in the bouquet, get them away from sunlight as quickly as possible. The colors of flowers fade due to oxidation, a chemical reaction that needs both water and light. Removing the light source during drying curtails oxidation. The length of the process depends on the degree of humidity, temperature, circulation of air, and the kind(s) of flowers in the bouquet. The drying process is complete when the flowers feel stiff and dry, rather than limp or damp. Dried flowers need not be treated with anything. The old wives' tale about spraying your bouquet with hair spray is just that.
One word of warning . . . you may see little moths, called Indian Meal Moths flying around your dried flowers. They find roses and peonies particularly juicy treats. Should that problem arise, the best thing for you to do is to freeze the bouquet, in a plastic bag, in your freezer. About a week there or, in the winter, outside in a garage or shed, should kill the larvae and solve the problem.
To avoid after-drying fading, the flowers should be kept away from direct sunlight and be nowhere near forced air heaters, whose very dry air may cause the flower structure to shatter. Your flowers can be gently dusted with a feather duster, or with a hair dryer, set on low. If you are "keepsaking" your flowers by putting them away, wrap them gently in newspaper and put them in a cardboard box, away from dampness (some basements), and away from very dry air (some) attics.
Flower Preservation, pressed or freeze dried
This process, described below by Augusta Rose of Roses Freeze Dry is a great way to keep an important memento "fresh."
"Flowers are prepared and placed into a vacuum chamber. Then the temperature is lowered to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit and the moisture is slowly removed. Flowers will retain their natural shape and original color. They will appear as fresh as when they were cut, but you will find that flowers tend to become softer in color. Whites mellow to a lovely ivory color. You can have your entire bouquet preserved and placed in a custom designed case or arranged around your invitation, photo, or any special mementos you may have from that day. Special arrangements can be created that make wonderful gifts for the wedding party members, family, or anyone who helped make your day a special day to be remembered."
Reply:My bridal bouquet was made of orchids, and they don't preserve well. However, the girlfriend who caught my bouquet took out the springs of english ivy and planted them in small clay pots. A year later, on our first anniversary, she gave me a lovely houseplant, grown from my bouquet. I still have it, 30 years later!
Reply:Call the florist where the flowers came from %26amp; ask them if they do bridal boquet perservation. Most do or know some place that does.
My brother's wife had this done with her boquet. The flowers are beautifully displayed under a glass dome %26amp; mounted on a wooden base. She has them prominently displayed on their entertainment center.
If no one nearby does it in your price range, try googling Bridal Boquet Preservation. I'm sure one would be willing to work with you on the price.

How many roses are enough for a decent size bouquet?
I'm thinking about getting my bf a bouquet of roses for Valentine's Day. I've given him bouquets a few times for regular days, but I want this one to be special. How many roses do I need to get for a fairly large size bouquet? I was thinking of 30 to 50. Is that too much or too little?
How many roses are enough for a decent size bouquet?
30 maybe be alright...but 50 seems to much...
they're gonna be real heavy
so, i'd say 30
Reply:I think that is way too much. Go with six roses mixed with baby's breath and other flowers. Keep it simple and sweet. The abundance is not going to impress... the simplicity is.
Reply:24 should be good. I think anything over that is way too much. Especially for a guy.
Reply:One dozen red roses make a very nice bouquet. Course if money is no problem, go for whatever you want to spend. Where I live 50 roses would be well over $100.
Reply:as many as you can kill why buy a rose bush cause then you would have to enjoy them all the time
Reply:6 - 8 - 12 - 24 - 32.
Reply:He's a guy...they are not real flower people. But they love the thoughtfullness. If he drives a car, put a rose on his windshield and fill his car to the top with balloons. Put a card on the seat. If you must do a big bouquet, do a dozen roses and some stargazers...now thats drama!

What is the meaning of carrying a bouquet of flowers for your wedding?
Is there a reason for this, or is it just because flowers are pretty? I never really thought about it before, and I'm just wondering because when I think about it, it seems strange, because there doesn't seem to be a purpose. Am I missing it? (And no offense to those who do carry flowers, just curious :) )
What is the meaning of carrying a bouquet of flowers for your wedding?
For centuries, flowers have stood for a variety of emotions and values. Roses for love, lilies for virtue and so on. In ancient marriages, the brides carried herbs beneath their veils to symbolize fidelity. Greek brides carried ivy as a symbol of never-ending love. Orange blossoms, (the world renowned wedding flower) were chosen by the Spaniards to represent happiness and fulfillment, because the orange tree flowers and bears fruit at the same time. During even earlier times of "primitive marriage," when the fear of demons was most prevalent, the brides carried stinking garlands of herbs and spices for the purpose of frightening off evil spirits.
Today, brides carry flowers in the color scheme of their wedding, bringing beauty and elegance as well as old world customs to their special day.
Reply:In general, they are used for weddings to symbolize fertility.
You can go in deeper than that if you want to find out which flowers symbolize what, as well as the colours of them.
Reply:It can mean fertility, but also back in the day when people didnt bathe too often they didnt smell very well so the bride would carry a bouqet to help cover and bad odor.
Reply:I seem to remember that it was originally a bunch of wheat. It was to symbolize having plenty to eat in your coming life.
Reply:It simbolized Fertility.
Good luck

How do I make a big bouquet of flowers on gaia online?
I've only been able to make singles at the flower shop. I'd love to know how to make a large one! Thanks
How do I make a big bouquet of flowers on gaia online?
For a regular bouquet you'll need 10 of the same type of flowers, 1,000 gold, and optionally 1 ink to dye the paper wrapper and 1 ink to dye the ribbon. For a deluxe bouquet you'll need 25 of the same type of flowers and 2,500 gold, and optionally, 1 ink to dye the paper wrapper and 1 ink to dye the ribbon.
Sunflowers are special and cannot be made into regular or deluxe bouquets. They are only available singularly. Which is sad since I think they'd make really pretty deluxe ones!
Reply:You have to get a large amout of flowers (usually a 100 or so) and some gold to pay for it.
You can also buy a ready made bouquet that is an avatar item called Phalaenopsis Bouquet .
Hope that helps!

What is a good way to water roses (or any other bouquet of flowers) if you don't have a vase?
I was supposed to give a dozen roses to a really special friend of mine for her birthday yesterday, but she didn't come over to my place to pick them up. And, I don't have a vase with water to put them in. Is a very tall glass filled with water suitable?
Please? I need your help on this.
What is a good way to water roses (or any other bouquet of flowers) if you don't have a vase?
Nooooooo, the best way to preserve roses is to place the stems in ice. Once the ice melts just replace it. Always use ice it keeps them fresh longer and they last longer.

Where can I find linen flowers? I saw them in a magazine once and want them for my wedding bouquet...?
I saw flowers made from linen fabric in a magazine once and thought they were gorgeous.
Do any of you know where I can find them, or someone who makes them, or a pattern to make them?
The ones I saw looked like roses but they were made from a cream coloured linen. I really really want to use them for my wedding bouquet!
Thank you!

How much does the average bridal bouquet cost?
I'm attempting to plan a wedding, and I know the price range is going to be widely vaired according to which flowers I use, but I want to get some idea as to how much I'll be spendiing on the bride's bouquet.
How much does the average bridal bouquet cost?
I am a wedding florist and the average bridal bouquet usually runs between $80-$150. Of course it all depends on what flowers you want and the season of your wedding, but this is an average range for most weddings. Anything over $150 will use specialty blooms like Orchids, Callas, or tropicals. Keep in mind that some flowers like Stephenotis are considered traditional wedding flowers and therefore many florists know that they can hike up the price for them since they are in such high demand. A good florist will take your set budget and work with it. Also, search your local area for private designers, like myself, who do not have a storefront. Most of the time you end up with more custom and attentive service with them. Talk to your other vedors and ask them if they know anyone who has this type of business in your area.
Good luck!
Reply:You can spend as little or as much as you want. Tell the florist a price range, they can work with you. Mine cost around $65 dollars for 1 1/2 dozen roses %26amp; a few other accent flowers.
Reply:You can go with silk (or "true touch") flowers for about $35 per bouquet up to the sky. It all depends on the flowers that you choose and whether they are silk or real. Check out the website I put up below. This is the on-line presence for Hobby Lobby. The "true touch" flowers really do look and feel real.
Hope this helps.

What type of water additive would prolong a bouquet of roses?
An aspirin tablet seems to work fine, I use that if I am out of the additive they sell to preserve cut flowers. Chrismas tree preservative works great also and is far less expensive. I would stay away from sugar water, it'll attract ants and encourge the growth of molds.

What are some flowers for a wedding bouquet or centerpiece that bloom in october?
You can get tulips at any time of the year. Try growingtulips.com They have very pretty tulips available year round. Since you like tulips and are having your wedding in the fall how about stay with a purple, orange, and yellow theme and have each table set with a different color? Tie your bouquets with some pretty ribbon, and have vases to set your bouquets in on the head table. Use 3 tulips for a corsage, and one for a boutonniere. :-)
Reply:Check direct gardening.com and type in Fall flowers. Also you may want to look at a florist website and they can give you a good idea of whats available for that season. I am also doing the flowers for a Fall wedding and will be searching these websites.
Reply:Try posting a projects at http://www.clienty.com and they can give you price quotes from vendors. It's a free service for brides and they helped me a lot. It's a really nifty site and they'll help you save money for your wedding.
Good luck!
Reply:Black-eyed Susans are available at that time of year. But talk to a florist. They are able to get flowers that aren't "in season". Choose your wedding colors, and see what the florist suggests.
Reply:Pansy's are pretty late bloomers.
I saw an October wedding, and the boquet was fall color mums, black eyed susans, and some kind of tiny white flowers (wasn't baby's breath) for filler.

Reply:My daughter married in October and we used mums, lots and lots of mums. Mums in October are everywhere and inexpensive. We also decorated the altar with vines of fall leaves. The pews had off white bouquets with off white ribbons. We sprinkled the bridal aisle runner with the fall leaves also. Her bouquet was of dark purple calla lilies with the stems wrapped in ribbon, very simple and elegant.
The mums also made nice table decorations with a length of fabric bunched slightly, candles and again sprinkled leaves for the reception.

Reply:Try posting a projects at http://www.clienty.com and they can give you price quotes from vendors. It's a free service for brides and they helped me a lot. It's a really nifty site and they'll help you save money for your wedding.
Good luck!
Reply:Black-eyed Susans are available at that time of year. But talk to a florist. They are able to get flowers that aren't "in season". Choose your wedding colors, and see what the florist suggests.
Reply:Pansy's are pretty late bloomers.
I saw an October wedding, and the boquet was fall color mums, black eyed susans, and some kind of tiny white flowers (wasn't baby's breath) for filler.
Reply:This ( http://www.freshroses.com/oct.html ) webpage is great. It not only tells you what's in season but also links to a picture of each. Good luck with your wedding!

Reply:My daughter married in October and we used mums, lots and lots of mums. Mums in October are everywhere and inexpensive. We also decorated the altar with vines of fall leaves. The pews had off white bouquets with off white ribbons. We sprinkled the bridal aisle runner with the fall leaves also. Her bouquet was of dark purple calla lilies with the stems wrapped in ribbon, very simple and elegant.
The mums also made nice table decorations with a length of fabric bunched slightly, candles and again sprinkled leaves for the reception.
What's the botanical name of the fern that is used in rose bouquet?
It has deep green foliage and very pretty.
I'm trying to plant it in my garden for my cutting flowers.
What's the botanical name of the fern that is used in rose bouquet?
Are you talking about "Leather leaf" fern? This is the most commonly used fern in the floral industry. Botanical name is Rumohra adiantiformis. I have only seen it as a cut product for florists and not sure you can get it as a plant for the garden. There are many ferns out there that would work for arrangements though.

Best way to cut the bottom of the stems on a flower bouquet?
is it better to cut below or above the little knot on carnation stems?
Best way to cut the bottom of the stems on a flower bouquet?
The only difference of cutting below or above the little knot is the length, and the stability. If you cut it below, it is more of a chance the stem with break if handled a little roughly. Other than that, there really isn't a reason for cutting it so short.
Also, you need to cut the ends with a slant. It is a cleaner cut, and will absorb more water.
Try putting a bit of lemon juice %26amp; sugar in the water. That will keep the flowers fresh and better looking.
Reply:Cut stems on a slant. Trim stems about 6 inches and place in warm water. Spray bouquet with water.
Reply:cut them diagonally under water.
Reply:preferably cut (slant cut) above the little bud/knot and on a running (room temperature) water.
Reply:Cut the stems diagonally so the plants absorb more water. Also, try dropping an asprin in the vase. This disolves harmfull minerals sometimes added to tap water and it will prolong the life of your cut flowers by a few days as well.
Reply:This sounds really dangerous .. especially if you bought the flowers from a "floral shoppe" ... would you recognize the shop assistant?
Maybe you should just find a taller vase.
Reply:Cut them at a slant with luke warm water. Below the knot!
Reply:I haven't heard of any difference between above or below the knot, but I have heard that if you cut them diagonally, they will absorb water better in a vase and last longer.

is the plant trash now or will more grow? it was one stem tied with a support stick and has a bunch of drab green leaves. i know nothing of plants.

Where can I find a bouquet of ballet slippers?
About a year ago, I was online, and found a grouping of ballet slippers, each one dyed a different pastel color, and they were all tied together to hang as decor or art. Now, I can't find them. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Where can I find a bouquet of ballet slippers?
Why don't you make your own? You can buy ballet slippers at Payless Shoe store (very inexpensive) and spray paint them with the pastel colors of your choice,attach ribbons and there you have them.

How do you perserve a bouquet of flowers?
how can you perserve the flowers to where they look pretty but not have to pay much money?
How do you perserve a bouquet of flowers?
easy you get a string and tie it around the ends of the flowers then hang them upside down to dry out but still have their natural and beautiful colors! hope it helped, thatz the way i do it
Reply:The least expensive way is to hang the bouquet upside down in a dark place and let it dry naturally. Then, spray it with an acrylic spray made for dried flowers to keep the petals form falling off. You can also purchase silica gel to use for drying. Place the bouquet carefully in a box with silica gel under the bouquet. Then, carefully pour more silica gel in, taking care to get it in between the petals and around each flower. Cover completely. Clean sand can also be used in place of the silica gel. When dry, spray with the preservative spray
Reply:depends on the flowers, some don't preserve so well. The tried and true way is to hang them upside down in a dark, dry place until they dry. Otherwise, you could press them. Either way, you have to get the moisture out or they'll wilt or rot. If you just want to make them last longer in the water, then take them out every day or two and cut the ends of the stems off at an angle to reopen the veins that draw up water, and drop in a modest amount of aspirin, keep the water fresh. Now, if your lucky, some of your flower stems, or leafy bits might re-root. A Carefully small amount of rerooting formula and fresh water will give you a new plant.
someone above suggested maybe the freezer- Dont. soon as those suckers thaw out your going to have a pile of mush. However, if your storing them for a day or two, the fridge is a good place to stash them.
Reply:have them sit in cold water. if you got them recently and put them into a vase, trim the stems about a quarter or half inch so thats its fresh and then can absorb more water. lastly you can put them into the fridge(maybe freezer, but i'm not sure if that would be too cold) so that it will take a while longer before they wilt.
Reply:I had a bouquet of roses given to me and I just let them run out of water in the vase, they started to dry in the vase. When they were partially dry, I cleaned the vase dried it out and put the bouquet back in intact and they are still good to this day and that was five months ago.
Reply:Put a teaspoon of bleach in the bottom of the vase.
Run the water over the bottom of the stems and trim the bottoms.
Put the flowers in and change water every couple of days.
Reply:You can either freeze them or dry them! Personally I would take a few pictures and call it good! But I am a guy so I am probably missing some stupid sentimental thing! PS...I am pretty sure that mental is part of sentimental for a reason!

What can I carry down the aisle besides a bouquet of flowers?
I would like to do my wedding completely without flowers or plants, but my Mom thinks it would be really weird not to have a bridal bouquet. Can anybody think of a bouquet of something besides flowers that I could carry?
What can I carry down the aisle besides a bouquet of flowers?
just have someone walk you down the aisle. i guess it would look strange if you were by yourself and didn't have flowers. if you're with someone else though, NO ONE will notice if you don't have flowers, they'll be too busy looking at you.

Reply:carry a bible and a special heirloom
Reply:I don't think you can have a wedding with no flowers or plants at all. you can downsize to save money, but I think it would be hard to decorate and stuff.
You could just walk down the aisle, hands at your sides, and look up and look happy and confident and everyone will forget the flowers. But as the "flower girls" why not have some girls (if theyre young this might work the best) toss little buds of lavendar at the ends of the aisle (not at the people!). It's probably less expensive than rose buds and it smells soothing and amazing.
Reply:.How about a picture or framed pictures of loved ones who are not here physically at your wedding but are spiritually
Reply:Do you not want any flowers because of the cost, or is there some other reason? Because you can only buy a bouquet for yourself if you're just trying to save money, and a buttoniere for your groom.
Otherwise you can use silk flowers (that's not going to save you money), a bible or rosary as someone mentioned, a handkerchief, or you could carry nothing. It's unorthodox, but it's not really a big deal.
Reply:If you are religious, you could carry a rosary. For a beach wedding you could carry a beautiful sea shell adorned with ribbons for decoration. Animal lovers, could carry their miniature dog. If you have a small child or infant you could carry her. You could carry 2 single roses and hand one to your mother and one to your MIL as you get to the alter so that you will not have a bouquet to mess with.
And my favorite, is to walk down the aisle with a smile on your face! Who says you have to have a bridal boquet? Instead, walk down the aisle with a smile and your arm around whomever is walking you down the aisle. People will not notice the flowers as much as they will the smile on your face.
It will not look bad either.
Reply:A candle, a pomander (it is still flowers but in a ball shape), you could also make one with crystals, rhinestones, or fake flowers., a small satin bag, a basket with whatever you want in it, a big colorful candy lollypop (the rainbow swirly ones), a scepter or wand (you know - fairy godmother wand).
if you are religious (%26amp; christian) you could carry a bible, or rosary beads.

What's the best way to dry out a bouquet of flowers?
If there are different methods for different types of flowers (or colours of flowers) please let me know!
What's the best way to dry out a bouquet of flowers?
Hi, will there are two ways ..... one... you can turn the whole bouquet upside down and put a rubber band around the stems and tie them up until they dry. two.... you can separate them and put them in to silica sand. They dry in about a week then uncover them and put the flowers back together again. It is important that the flowers aren't to far gone in the beginning to do this or they don't have a good outcome. Ok...
Reply:I find the best way to dry out flowers is by hanging them upside down on a line of twine,but not anyplace damp. Also, make sure that they are not already dying or wilted. Hope this info helps!
Reply:Hang them upside down .. this is no joke it works they stay in same color and shape just dry out
Reply:Tie a ribbon around them, or twine, and hang them upside down. Do not hang them on the wall though, they will flatten on that side. I always hung mine from the ceiling fan till they dried out. It keeps the petals from sagging down.
Reply:Hang them upside down until they are dry.
I used to tie the stems to a hanger, then put them in a closet.
Reply:Hang them upside down. You can also go to a craft store and buy a spray which you can put on the flowers to preserve them after they are dried! I did this with my wedding bouquet, they looked beautiful!
Reply:I take my flowers that are dying and put them outside for about an hour, until their completely dry and dehyderated. After that I hang them upside down by safety pinning the stems to a hanger and hanging the hanger by a window.
I've used this method for all flowers.
Reply:turn them upside down and hang them up. make sure to put them in a room with low humidity (no where near the bathroom, the steam from the shower will mess them up)
Reply:glycerin salt. It will preserve the color as well. Cut off the stems and place the flowers in a gallon bucket full of glycerin salt. (go to a florist store) then insert a wire and wrap the wire in green floral tape.

How do I take care of my flower bouquet?
I just received a lovely assortment of flowers and grasses in a small pot, made of roses and sunflowers. Being a complete newbie at gardening, I really need some detailed steps to keeping them fresh and pretty and alive for a long time. :) Things like how much water to give them, frequency of watering the flowers, and any extra stuff to put into the soil/other steps to follow etc, would be greatly appreciated? Thanks!
How do I take care of my flower bouquet?
you likely will need to put into a bigger pot as the larger plants grow, adding some new soil that will give the plants new nutrients, will likely won't need to worry to much about fertilizer if your adding some new soil at times, just check to see if the soil is moist at all times, the larger plants will use up more water than the grass.

Can I grow a rose bush from a long stem rose in a bouquet?
My husband bought me 25 long stem roses for our 25th anniversary. A couple of the roses have grown a few 1 to 2 inch shoots with leaves about 4 inches down from the flower. Does this mean that these stems can be planted and how would I do that? Thanks!
Can I grow a rose bush from a long stem rose in a bouquet?
You sometimes can. Try it. What you need to do is get a small pot and fill it with a good well-draining potting mix. There is a product called Rootone which is sold by the box or packet. You would only need a packet. Follow the directions on it by taking your long stemmed rose and clipping the blossom off. Make sure you have the node on the stem on the piece you want to plant. Dip the bottom end in the rooting hormone, tamp the excess off and dip a pencil in the potting soil to make a small hole to place the rose in. Clip off all but one leaf. Place the rose stem in the hole and tamp the soil around it. Water gently once. You can put it in the garden under a larger plant, or keep it in the house with a small baggy over it to act like a mini green house. Each day, remove the baggy for about two hours so that you do not rot the rose. In about six to eight weeks you will have your answer If the rose stem stays put when you gently tug it, your rose has taken hold. You will have a new rose for next spring. Water it regularly but not so that it is sopping, and feed it lightly after about three months. The baggy comes off when it has taken hold and you will see new little leaves starting to grow. Of course, fresh air and sunshine are great for it; just don't let it get too dried out for any long length of time. A day or two won't hurt. In fact, most people overwater their plants you just want to keep it moist. From then on, you can follow up on how to keep roses yourself.

Reply:I have to agree with telluwat on this.. I don't think it will work.
Most floral roses are grafted onto hardy root stock. The florals have very weak root systems and usually won't survive.
Sorry.. but congratulations on 25 years!

Reply:yes you can... keep the roots in water for now, give it plety of sunlight. when the roots become more abundant, plant them in peat moss, and keep moist,, not wet, or saturated.
good luck
Reply:Whether or not the rooting will take depends on if the stems have "buds" to grow the roots from. Most roses do indeed have the capability to grow into bushes.
I wish you the best on this as I know how sentimental bushes grown from your 25 year roses could be.

A complete explanation is available here: http://members.fortunecity.com/cnetter/r...
Reply:many plant clippings can be put in a glass of water and withing weeks you will see roots protruding from the stem you cut from the mother plant.
however, trying to grow a bush from a rose stem would never happen.
stalks, as your stem is considered cannot grow from a cutting. Once it has been cut your rose will ultimately die. There are some plants within the rose variation that can be put into the ground and the roots may shoot out, but I can assure you, you will not get that cutting into a bush.
sorry, I myself would have loved to do that with the rose bouquets my husband has bought me as well.

Water it regularly but not so that it is sopping, and feed it lightly after about three months. The baggy comes off when it has taken hold and you will see new little leaves starting to grow. Of course, fresh air and sunshine are great for it; just don't let it get too dried out for any long length of time. A day or two won't hurt. In fact, most people overwater their plants you just want to keep it moist. From then on, you can follow up on how to keep roses yourself.

Reply:I have to agree with telluwat on this.. I don't think it will work.
Most floral roses are grafted onto hardy root stock. The florals have very weak root systems and usually won't survive.
Sorry.. but congratulations on 25 years!
Reply:I also do not think that this will work though I really wish that they would.
Reply:yes you can... keep the roots in water for now, give it plety of sunlight. when the roots become more abundant, plant them in peat moss, and keep moist,, not wet, or saturated.
good luck
Reply:Whether or not the rooting will take depends on if the stems have "buds" to grow the roots from. Most roses do indeed have the capability to grow into bushes.
I wish you the best on this as I know how sentimental bushes grown from your 25 year roses could be.

Reply:many plant clippings can be put in a glass of water and withing weeks you will see roots protruding from the stem you cut from the mother plant.
however, trying to grow a bush from a rose stem would never happen.
stalks, as your stem is considered cannot grow from a cutting. Once it has been cut your rose will ultimately die. There are some plants within the rose variation that can be put into the ground and the roots may shoot out, but I can assure you, you will not get that cutting into a bush.
sorry, I myself would have loved to do that with the rose bouquets my husband has bought me as well.
How do I care for "Hyacinth Bouquet" Flowers?
Just bought my partner some and a vase, tell me everything I would need to do to make sure they stay longer and fresher?
Many thanks, ;)
How do I care for "Hyacinth Bouquet" Flowers?
Ways to help a flower bouquet last longer:
Use cold water for bulb flowers, such as daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips.
Change the water every 2 days -- don't just top it off. This is the single most effective thing you can do to keep your flowers looking fresh.
Keep flowers out of direct sunlight %26amp; move them to a cool place .
Add a drop of bleach to the water to prevent bacteria...
Or...Add a little Lemon- Lime soda or fresh lemon juice to the water.
http://www.plantea.com/cutflowers.htm
Your bouquet will last longer if not overheated, away from bright lights, %26amp; out of drafts. A cooler area is better. Changing the water every couple of days %26amp; adding bleach to the water prevents bacteria from making it rot. Also, remove any lower leaves that would otherwise be immersed under water as they will rot and shorten the life of your flowers.
"Suggestions range from adding a few drops of bleach to each pint of vase water to keep bacteria from growing to using a solution made with lemon-lime soda, one part soda to two parts water. The sugar in the soda is said to feed the flowers and help buds continue to open, and acidity inhibits bacterial growth."
http://www.reneesgarden.com/articles/bou...
Michael Skaff, a floral specialist for ftd.com recommends: "Under running tap water, quickly cut the bottom of the stems on an angle and remove foliage that will be lower than the water level in the vase. Then add two to three drops of bleach to the vase to prevent bacteria buildup. "
http://www.quickandsimple.com/solutions/...
BTW, The ingredients in commercial flower food which keeps flowers fresh for at least a full week helps reduce the concentration of bacteria in the water, keep the water acidic, and supplies the flowers with sugar.
Good luck!!! Hope this helps.

Would amaryllis, orange blossom, and white (common) daisies be compatable for a spring wedding bouquet?
these are my three favorite flowers and I am wondering if they are compatible (scent wise and visually). I want a primarily white bouquet with yellow accents.

Trying to keep a bouquet of flowers alive longer. Any suggestions?
I got a lovely bunch of red carnations last Monday, and I'm trying to find ways to keep them alive and beautiful longer. They've lasted thus far with me changing their water every day and cutting off nasty rotting stems, and they still look gorgeous, but I can see that they are beginning to die! Sugar water and aspirin worthy to try for them or is there something better?
Trying to keep a bouquet of flowers alive longer. Any suggestions?
try putting just a little bleach in the vase in with the water
Reply:cut a 1/4 inch diagonally off the bottom of the stems every three days. That is the best you can do.
Reply:cut the ends of the stems off about 1 or 2 cm above the bottom of the stem. this will help the flower absorb more water.
Reply:I suggest the aspirin.
Reply:I heard a pinch of salt in the water should help but I've never tried it...
Reply:put an asprin in the water
Reply:for a large vase, ise 1 tablespoon of bleach. For a smaller vase, use 1 teaspoon.
Reply:you do know that they will die eventually, but i say keep doing what you're doing until it's very last moment!
Reply:Sugar water, ground aspirin both work. Also try peeling the stems and keeping them in a cold climate with low humidity.

Has anyone ever put or heard of putting gardenias in a bridal bouquet?
I'm getting married October 13th of this year. I really like gardenias but online haven't seen any pictures of gardenia bouquets. Do you know where I can find a picture? And will they be in season then?

What else can brides carry other than a bouquet?
Is there anything at all that I can use to replace my bouquet? I am having a beach wedding and I am trying to think of something creative that I can carry other than a bouquet. My girls are all carrying parasols(paper umbrellas). Any suggestions?
What else can brides carry other than a bouquet?
Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
You don't need to carry a whole bouquet, but I would think you would want to carry something. I try to encourage brides to carry a single rose tied with a nice silk ribbon. It looks elegant, and is easy to do! Or, you could carry two roses and hand one to your mother and one to the grooms mother - then you would be done! I like the parasol idea for your bridesmaids - another idea since you will be on the beach would be nice paper fans. Good luck!
Reply:Carry a decorative raffia fan. They're super adorable and practical!
Reply:Why not carry a white parasol...then pass it off to the maid of honor when you get down the aisle for her to hold...It would look great!
Reply:When Beyonce's sister got married (it was a tropical/beach wedding), the floral bouquets did not come on time. So the mother, ingeniously, got these large shells for all the girls to carry. Perhaps you could have a conch shell filled with orchids (or whatever flower of your choice).
Reply:don't carry anything. That would be unique!
Sun tan lotion would look a little silly.
Carry a big beach hat with a white veil on it?
Reply:A Flower Ring Corsage with long delicate ribbons that match your wedding colors..... Worn on your left ring finger.
(Have the florist make the Flower Ring Corsage to fit your ring finger but not to tight using flowers that last long in the heat of the sun since its a beach wedding)
When you walk down the Isle holding your hands together it will give an appearance of holding a beautiful little bouquet. Then when it comes time for your very soon to be hubby to place "The Wedding ring" on your left ring finger he will take the Flower Ring Corsage from your left finger and place it on your right ring finger. Then he will place "The Wedding ring" on your left finger.
Reply:Anything you want, just as long as it is NOT A BABY! LOL! Seriously, perhap your Bible?
Reply:A colorful parasol with your monogram on it and flowers cascading down. A fan with flowers attached to the handle. A single red rose. A wrist corsage. There are so many things that you can do, I think it is so cool that you are being unique. Have a beautiful wedding! Good Luck!

What do you write on the card when you present a bouquet to a singer?
I've never done this before. Do you attach a card with the bouquet you present to a singer? I think I should because it's possible that I won't get to hand it to him personally. And there will be more than one musician on stage so I think it is necessary to put his name on it. And I want to put my name to. But what do I write in between his name and mine?
What do you write on the card when you present a bouquet to a singer?
YOu should put their name..yes..so the wrong person doesnt get them..and ofcourse yours..Do they know you? If not make sure to add an email or # at the bottom.! If it is someone who you are attracted to you could put something like...."thank you for touching me with your music" or go corny with " your music brings beauty to my life.." well you get the idea...if it is someone you just admire...put "to "so%26amp;so" thank you for sharing your gift".....
Or the best backfall....is to present the flowers with a card that has their name..your name..(just your first) and the email or phone #.....if they contact you..then grace them with your words....
Good luck..

Can you plant a flower from a bouquet and cause more to grow?
I know it sounds stupid, but i was wondering if you planted roses, like just the bottow part where the stem is, more would grow. I am sure the answer is no, but hoping it is yes.
Can you plant a flower from a bouquet and cause more to grow?
It is not easy to do and it depends on a lot of factors. When you get roses in a bouquet they are normally cut too short to root. You need a stem with leaves on it, at least.
Rooting hardwood cuttings (which is what you are trying to do) needs practice and time. You will need rooting compound, peat, a pot, and a plastic bag. See the instructions on this web site.
Reply:You might root it but you will have to cut the flower off and put the stem into a jar of water. Put some foil over the top and suspend the stem in the foil if possible to keep the stem off of the bottom of the jar to allow the stem to grow. This would take some time but it very well could work. I don't take it that you have a woody stem but rooting it may be more effective in a pot of often-watered sand.
Reply:You can try a product called Root Tone; it is used to help enable a clipping to grow roots. Also, there is a product called Take Root, they both have the same purpose, and it appears that Rose growers have successfully used them.
Search for those products and you can get more specific info, or go to a local nursery and ask about them.
Reply:no. actually for some yes. it is not stupid becuase flowers such as hibiscus will grow back. as long as the hibiscus has a woody stem all you need to do it put it in water and wait for it to root.
Reply:nope

I'm not sure what kind of flowers they are, they're all different colors of orange though. If this can be done, someone tell me how!
How can i dry out a bouquet of flowers that i got today?
Tie all the flowers together in a bundle and hang upside down that way when the flowers dry, they will have straight stems when standing them upright. sweetsdecoratives.com
Reply:Hang the whole bunch upside down in a room temp. dry place. Direct sunlight will fade them. A fairly dark place is best. They will dry in a week or two, depending on the relative humidity. My wife has done this with great success many, many times.
Reply:I would wait until they bloom fully (so they're the most beautiful) and them you use a large size rubber band, band the stems together, and hang them upside down. (I usually hang them in the bathroom, out of the way.)
Some people suggest hair spray, etc, but this will only cause mold. Just hanging them upside down works excellent. :)

Does hairspray preserve a bouquet?
I heard somewhere that if you spray your bouquet with hairspray and dry it out, it will keep its form and shape? Any advice?
Does hairspray preserve a bouquet?
How to
Dry Flowers
Love your flower bouquet so much you don't want to have to let it go? Consider preserving it with our easy-to-follow guide. Let us show you how to dry flowers in a matter of a few simple steps, so that you can keep your special memories close for years to come. Whether you choose to hang the flowers on their own or add them to another crafts-related project, you'll love the delicate beauty of your dried flower bouquet. Interested in an added twist? We'll show you how to dry flowers in the microwave!
Before you get started, you'll need to assess whether your flower bouquet will dry well. Blooms should not be fully mature or they will lose their petals in the flower drying process. Also, consider the type of flowers you are using. Air drying will work for more robust varieties such as roses or small, long-lasting varieties like lavender. For more delicate flowers like lilies, try another preservation technique, such as pressing. Gerbera daisies, chrysanthemums, roses, and tulips are great candidates for the microwave flower drying technique, a process that will preserve their color and structure better than air drying does.
How to Air Dry Flowers
(using everyday household items)
1. Strip excess foliage from your flowers and cut the stems to your desired length (but not shorter than six inches). To help your flowers maintain their color during the drying process, it is important that you remove them from sunlight as soon as they're cut. Rubber band bunches of stems together if you would like to hang a bouquet, or leave the stems be if you'd like to hang the flowers individually.
2. Find a dark, dry area with good circulation. An unused closet will work perfectly. With unflavored dental floss, secure the bottom end of the flower’s stem to a hanger. You may hang two flowers/bunches on each hanger by hanging items from each side, or you can hang one flower/bunch by hanging it from the middle. Once secure, hang flowers upside down to dry. Leave your flowers there for a good two to three weeks and make sure not to remove them until they are completely dry.
3. Remove the flowers from the hangers and spray them with hairspray to give them some extra protection. You can now hang your dried flowers around the house as you please, remove the petals and make potpourri, or use them in a crafts-related project to make a thoughtful gift for someone else. Dried flowers don't like sunlight or extreme heat, so try to find homes for them in more shaded areas.
How to Dry Flowers with a Microwave
(requires items found in craft stores)
1. Find a microwave-safe container that will hold your flowers and fit into the microwave. (Do not use a dish you might want to use for food again after this project.) Your flowers will dry to the shape of the bottom of your container if you do not support them, so you will need to use silica gel in the container to help the flowers maintain their shape. Cover the bottom of the container with about an inch or two of silica gel (more for larger blossoms), place your flowers in the gel with the flower blossom opening upward, and then gently pour gel over the flower to ensure all petals are positioned to dry properly. If you are not careful with the gel, you can flatten your petals. Still, be liberal with it for best results. Don't worry; your silica gel can be used over and over again.
2. Microwave temperature and time will vary from flower to flower, so find the right recipes by trial and error. Place your uncovered container in the microwave. A safe bet is to start the microwave on one or two levels above defrost for 2-5 minutes. Roses can withstand more heat; daisies prefer lower temperatures. Start with a short amount of time, checking your flower's progress periodically. If it doesn't seem to be drying, you can increase heat and time accordingly.
3. Once your flowers have dried, open the microwave and immediately cover the container. Remove the covered container from the microwave, open the top a quarter of a centimeter, and let it sit for 24 hours. Once the flowers have cooled, clean off the petals with a fine brush and mist them with an acrylic spray. Voila! Fresh baked flowers!
Whichever method you choose, we hope that you might find a new hobby in our How to Dry Flowers guide. We all wish our fresh flowers lived forever, but now you can preserve your special bouquet and enjoy it for years to come. There are meanings and expressions behind all flower gifts, so we hope we helped in making your memories last.
This is the airspray method:
Learning how to preserve flowers is a great way to keep those beautiful bouquets lasting longer. It is not terribly difficult, with a bit of time and patience you will have a lasting bouquet for years to come.
To preserve your flowers the only ingredient you need is a bottle of aerosol hairspray. To begin simply gather your flowers and spray with hairspray before they begin to die. If you wait until they die the color will be gone and you can't bring it back.
Next just find a cool, dry and dark place such as a basement or closet and hang the flowers upside down until they dry. It may take a few days to dry but be patient. If you try to arrange them too soon you will damage the flower petals and possible the entire flower. Once they are completely dry you can arrange them in a vase or however you wish. Your flowers will stay beautiful for years to come. Just keep in mind they are very fragile and will break easily when handled.
Another popular method for long lasting flowers is to preserve them by pressing. Using some wax paper or paper towels place flowers in between them and put them in a book. The easiest way is to put more books on top or some thing heavy. The flowers should stay there for a while just remember to check them every few days. After a week or so the flowers will be pressed flat. You can then use them as decoration in picture frames, scrapbooks or albums. You can laminate some of them with a picture from the special occasion and make a beautiful bookmark.
There are so many different ideas to use them in such as when making cement stepping stones for your garden. Cut the bottom 6 inches of a five gallon bucket off. Line the bottom piece you cut away with wax paper, and then pour instant cement into the wax paper. Let it set partway and then sprinkle the flowers onto the cement. Let it dry the rest of the way. When the cement is completely dry take it out of the bucket and peel away the wax paper. Now you have a permanent stepping stone for your garden.
If you do not want to preserve the flowers yourself you can take them to a florist and for a small fee they will do it for you. Any way you choose to preserve your flowers will leave you a lasting treasure to share with future generations.
Reply:I I do not see why it would not work... I used hairspray to keep cat tails looking good and they lasted a good 3 years before my ex husband destroyed them during the divorce. I had 4 or 5 tails and on one of them, I pulled some of the "stuffing" out of it and sprayed it to keep it looking as though it was "flowering naturally" (I wish that I had taken some pictures of it, it was so pretty!)
Reply:Yeah I have tried it to dry roses. it works.
Reply:well i dont really know about that but i do know that putting in the fridge or freezer will keep the fresh for longer and frozen one can last weeks
Reply:I once sprayed it onto a fresh bouquet, and it died.
It needs to be applied to dry, not fresh flowers.
The best thing for you to do is to either press the flowers and laminated them, or you can store them in an airtight container padded with tissues/tissue paper so as not to damage them and keep them dry
Does hairspray preserve a bouquet?
How to
Dry Flowers
Love your flower bouquet so much you don't want to have to let it go? Consider preserving it with our easy-to-follow guide. Let us show you how to dry flowers in a matter of a few simple steps, so that you can keep your special memories close for years to come. Whether you choose to hang the flowers on their own or add them to another crafts-related project, you'll love the delicate beauty of your dried flower bouquet. Interested in an added twist? We'll show you how to dry flowers in the microwave!
Before you get started, you'll need to assess whether your flower bouquet will dry well. Blooms should not be fully mature or they will lose their petals in the flower drying process. Also, consider the type of flowers you are using. Air drying will work for more robust varieties such as roses or small, long-lasting varieties like lavender. For more delicate flowers like lilies, try another preservation technique, such as pressing. Gerbera daisies, chrysanthemums, roses, and tulips are great candidates for the microwave flower drying technique, a process that will preserve their color and structure better than air drying does.
How to Air Dry Flowers
(using everyday household items)
1. Strip excess foliage from your flowers and cut the stems to your desired length (but not shorter than six inches). To help your flowers maintain their color during the drying process, it is important that you remove them from sunlight as soon as they're cut. Rubber band bunches of stems together if you would like to hang a bouquet, or leave the stems be if you'd like to hang the flowers individually.
2. Find a dark, dry area with good circulation. An unused closet will work perfectly. With unflavored dental floss, secure the bottom end of the flower’s stem to a hanger. You may hang two flowers/bunches on each hanger by hanging items from each side, or you can hang one flower/bunch by hanging it from the middle. Once secure, hang flowers upside down to dry. Leave your flowers there for a good two to three weeks and make sure not to remove them until they are completely dry.
3. Remove the flowers from the hangers and spray them with hairspray to give them some extra protection. You can now hang your dried flowers around the house as you please, remove the petals and make potpourri, or use them in a crafts-related project to make a thoughtful gift for someone else. Dried flowers don't like sunlight or extreme heat, so try to find homes for them in more shaded areas.
How to Dry Flowers with a Microwave
(requires items found in craft stores)
1. Find a microwave-safe container that will hold your flowers and fit into the microwave. (Do not use a dish you might want to use for food again after this project.) Your flowers will dry to the shape of the bottom of your container if you do not support them, so you will need to use silica gel in the container to help the flowers maintain their shape. Cover the bottom of the container with about an inch or two of silica gel (more for larger blossoms), place your flowers in the gel with the flower blossom opening upward, and then gently pour gel over the flower to ensure all petals are positioned to dry properly. If you are not careful with the gel, you can flatten your petals. Still, be liberal with it for best results. Don't worry; your silica gel can be used over and over again.
2. Microwave temperature and time will vary from flower to flower, so find the right recipes by trial and error. Place your uncovered container in the microwave. A safe bet is to start the microwave on one or two levels above defrost for 2-5 minutes. Roses can withstand more heat; daisies prefer lower temperatures. Start with a short amount of time, checking your flower's progress periodically. If it doesn't seem to be drying, you can increase heat and time accordingly.
3. Once your flowers have dried, open the microwave and immediately cover the container. Remove the covered container from the microwave, open the top a quarter of a centimeter, and let it sit for 24 hours. Once the flowers have cooled, clean off the petals with a fine brush and mist them with an acrylic spray. Voila! Fresh baked flowers!
Whichever method you choose, we hope that you might find a new hobby in our How to Dry Flowers guide. We all wish our fresh flowers lived forever, but now you can preserve your special bouquet and enjoy it for years to come. There are meanings and expressions behind all flower gifts, so we hope we helped in making your memories last.

Marks and Spencers online do delivery to most the UK, at better priced than Interflora.
Just follow the link and chose what you want, they ask for your details, and you type the message you want to put in the card.
Prices start at 20 pounds.
Reply:If you live with her, just go to a florist and pick it out yourself. Much cheaper and more personal.
Get a vase if you would like or just bring them in stems.
Write what you feel about her on the note.
If you want to get them sent, there's too many options. Ask a friend if they have a florist they like or just order it over the internet.
The trouble with sending flowers is that they can send substandard flowers when you've paid for the best quality.
Who would ever know?
Reply:It certainly is possible! And a very sweet idea! Since you've never done this before, I'd say visit the florist. Tell them what you'd like to do and ask them to help you. Cost is usually based on size, type of flowers. If you get a "fancy" container it will cost more but if you'd like Mum to have a keepsake as well, go for it! They do arrangements in china tea cups and all kinds of containers!
Wish Mum a Happy Birthday!
Reply:yes it is possible.
if ure mum lives near u, then u cud go to a florist in ure area. and all u do is give them the address you want them to be delivered to.
its really simple..
it can depend on the prices, although, the bigger bouquets are obviously more expensive.
but u can have these things where they put flowers in little baskets and things like that.
its worth asking the florists about.
Reply:If you do it on the phone you need a credit card....so go to the nearest florist in your town and arrange it in person then you can pay with cash.
Reply:go to a florist and they will make a bouquet for you and give you a price before they make it up , 15 quid approx . start to whatever you like .
Reply:Don't you have a local florist? Like when there is a funeral, where do people get their flowers? Phone book is the best way to find it.
Reply:Of course, people do this all the time.
Just call a florist and compare prices.
It probably ranges from £15-£100,000!!
Reply:yes you can my dad does it for my mom.
Reply:any flower shop that does delivery will take them to any house if its in your area intreflora is all over the country so they are more likely to send anywhere

Question for florists: flower quantity vrs bouquet volume ratio?
I saw on www.aquarelle.co.uk that for a bouquet having a diameter of 30 cms one needs 32 roses, for one of 25 cms: 27 roses and for one of 35 cms in diameter 37 roses. I want to use different varieties of flowers instead of roses, but do not know if this proportions will do. How does a professional florist determine the number of flowers vrs. volume proportion when making a bouquet?

How should I advertise for my small balloon bouquet business?
I am starting college 4 days per week in the morning until afternoon and I have decided to start my own small balloon boquet business. I am a very experienced balloon twister and entertainer as well. Tonight I finished designing my business card and flyer. It states that I do Balloon Bouquets, Twisting Entertainment, and Event Decor. I have an ad on Craigslist.
What should I do now to get some business?
How should I advertise for my small balloon bouquet business?
Well, I'm a clown and I do balloons as well. I have a 4 ft by 6 ft sign on the corner of my street. Bright red and white with black outline. Very attractive. I also have a lighted sign on top of my car that says ABAGAIL the CLOWN with my phone number. This has worked quite well and it only cost me $212.00 once.
Reply:YEP! I got business from that. I always ask "Where did you hear about me?" Helps to find out what yor best ads bring. Report Abuse
Reply:Well that really depends on how much you can afford to spend on advertising! If you can't afford much, then you should try putting up posters near kindergartens or McDonalds or another place you think your potential customers may be passing by! And of course if you can afford more I'm sure you know that you can advertise on TV or on billboards.
