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!
Where can I find linen flowers? I saw them in a magazine once and want them for my wedding bouquet...?
A good florist can order them for you from a wholesaler.

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.

Homemade recipe for flower food to keep a floral bouquet fresh longer?
I cut the stems and used the flower food from the florist, but it's been 2 days and the stems are ready to be re-cut. Any suggestions for how to spike the water in lieu of flower food?
Homemade recipe for flower food to keep a floral bouquet fresh longer?
I have no idea why this works, but I learned it from my mom and it does. Get rid of the old water, refill, and add a tiny bit of dish soap and pinch of sugar.
Reply:a shot of vodka once a day will keep the troubles away
Reply:I have seen coins 2pence ones in my friends vases also she puts a little bit of bleach in the water. Her flowers last for ages when mine are dead and gone.And we both bought them at the same time.I now have started to do this too.
Reply:I have found out that Asprin works good too

What type of water additive would prolong a bouquet of roses?
I heard you should add coffee grinds to rose bushes in an outside garden; I am interested in the care of cut roses.
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.
Reply:i would suggest sugar water if tap water it should set mixed overnite
Reply:I have heard a birth control pill, you can try it. who knows. go to your local nursery,where you buy plants and stuff. and ask them what is the best additve that would work. good luck.
Reply:Add 1 teaspoon of bleach and 1 teaspoon of sugar. The bleach stops mold and mildew and the sugar will help the flowers survive for a few extra days.
Reply:Add a tablespoon of sugar to the vase of roses.

What are some flowers for a wedding bouquet or centerpiece that bloom in october?
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.
