the wedding is in october. tulips i heard are hard to come by during that month. what other flowers would be nice?
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: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.

The plant is not trash. It will bloom again, but they aren't the easiest plants to keep alive.

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!
Reply:tie them with string at the stems, then hang them upside down from the string in a dark place like a cupboard. leave for 2 weeks or until they're dried
