I just want a cheap, but simply beautiful bouquet with either day lilies (i think they are also called asiatic lilies) or roses....any idea approx. how much each cost?
What's typically cheaper in wedding bouquet - day lilies or roses?
Lilies cost more because they're grown from a bulb and produce only one stem per bulb. Roses are grown on a bush and just continually reproduce. I've grown tons of lilies. I love them. You're not going to want day lilies. Day lilies are on a thin stem with a large base of leaves at the bottom %26amp; they bloom %26amp; die within the same day, hence being called a day lily. Asiatics are beautiful and they do last. Also, Oriental lilies are used a lot for weddings.
If I were you, I would go with the lilies because they are much larger and more dramatic, so you only need a couple of them mixed in with other greenery, whereas the roses, you would need more of to fill out the bouquet. Here are a couple using orientals:

Reply:Roses are less expensive than lilies. There probibly about $6 to $8 dollars difference. You could also do a combo of both if your really set on lilies!
Good luck!
Reply:It depends on when you're getting married. You can pretty much count on a bouquet costing anywhere from $100 -200 unless you do them yourself.
If lilies are in season, then they will be cheaper because you will need fewer stems since they are large. Out of season, they will be expensive.
Roses are pretty cheap all year.
Look at this: http://www.growersbox.com/catalog/weddin...
You can order a "wedding in a box" and do all of your flowers yourself for less and they have a rose and Asiatic lily box.
Reply:Roses are usually cheaper because they are in season all year round. Where as lillies are only in season for part of the year. The rest of the year, they are very expensive so I would go with roses.
Reply:Go around to your local floral shops who specialize in weddings. Personally, I'm using fake flowers for mine.
Reply:Probably the lillies if you get them at costco or samsclub. the only downfallis you have to stick with one or two colors unless you want to be up to your eyeballs in flowers!

Remember that each stem has more than one bloom, probably around 3-4 blooms per stem.
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.asp...
But, roses can be used also to make bouteniers and petals for flower girl...so maybe it's better to go with roses. just depends on what you want.
Reply:it probably depends on your location and the time of year.. you need to ask a local florist..
Reply:Everything is greenhouse grown today- so NO seasons.
Plain rose like red or white will be cheaper... if you get into high breeds then it's $$$.
My bouquets was $500.00 for high bred roses (pink and orange- flown in from Holland)- about 3 dz and this include a trial bouquet so I could try it with my dress first. Remember you want good flowers not cheap supermarket things because you don't want them to wilt or open up and fall apart.
Reply:Roses are always more expensive. You need to talk to your local florists.

How to make a cascading bouquet for a wedding?
I know how to put together a bouquet, but the cascading one I have now is totally stuff in the part that 'cascades'. I've seen others just flow, not stiff...
how would you make it flow?
I am not an expert in this!

Reply:Look for your flowers in silk vines...the kind you'd drape over an arch or something. Usually silk-flower vines are held together by links that can be cut, so you can easily cut them to the length you need. You should be able to secure them to your other stems by threading your upright stems through them and using floral tape or wire.

How do I make a bouquet for a wedding rehearsal?
I am the maid of honor at an upcoming wedding and I was told that we are supposed to keep the bows and ribbons from the bridal shower to make a bouquet to use at the rehearsal. I kept the bows but I'm at a loss for ideas. Are there any websites for tips on this?
How do I make a bouquet for a wedding rehearsal?
Do something simple. Don't go overboard with bows and ribbons....make sure to put the actual bows on top as the head of the bouquet, while the ribbons flow downwards tied behind the bows....color coordinate too! (ex. don't put a patch of blue bows, and the one red one, etc)
Now this isn't the best example, but it'll do:
http://www.ljcfyi.com/blog/2004/may2004/...
Reply:You can buy the whie plastic bouquet rings with the handle attached that have the soft foam inside and glue the bows onto the green flower sticks into the foam, or glue them onto the bouquet ring. Look in the florist or wedding aisle of a hobby store.
Reply:Most take a paper plates and stick the ribbons and bows onto the top of the plate. Then you'll need to take another plate and shape it into a cone, for the bride to hold on to. Then hot glue it to the bottom and presto!! Instant ribbon bouquet.
Reply:you punch holes into a paper plate and put the backs of the bows through the plate, or i suppose you could also tape them on really well.
Reply:Use a small paper plate and stick all the bows on that. Attach something for the bride to hold it with.
Reply:for something different you dont have to use a paper plate. My MOH used an actual bouquet holder (plastic about $5 at the craft store), she attached long pieces of floral wire (kind of sewing them together) to each bow and then tied them into the holder to make the actual bouquet, then took the fancy ribbons, pearl strands, flower ornamentations etc and weaved them through the bows and created a sort of long spray hanging down. It was beautiful and I still have it. My daughters play with it all the time, its a great keepsake!
Reply:yup paper plate...with bows and ribbons on top...
Reply:You can glue/tape the bows and ribbon onto a paper plate, roll another paper plate staple to the original paper plate to make a handle, or you can secure a paint stirrer to the plate for a handle.
Reply:I can't find a great website. But I was the MOH in a friend's wedding last summer. And this is how we did it. I took a large size paper plate and punched a hole in the center. Then I took a few larger size bows and centered them while pulling the ends through (so the bride has something to hold). Then fill in around the edges with smaller bows. We had some many bows that we had enough to make smaller bouquets (dessert sized plates).

Reply:Its not that big of a deal...it's just a rehersal boquet. Cut out a round piece of cardboard, cut out a cardboard handle. glue the handle on and start gluing ribbons and bows to the cardboard.
It is more so the bride can practice how to hold her hands and when to give the boquet to someone than actually having to serve a real purpose.
Reply:I made one recently. I went to the dollar store and bought a large silk rose. I tied %26amp; stapled all of the ribbons and bows to the rose %26amp; stem. That way there was something for her to hold onto with all of the ribbons.

How to dry a rose bouquet?
I have a beautiful bouquet of long stem red roses that my husband gave me for Valentines Day. So far I've kept them fresh by putting them in the fridge every night and they still look brand new. Now I want to dry them though and use them as decoration in my living room.
I know that usually you are supposed to hang them upside down in a dry, dark place to dry them, but we live in a very humid area (right now the thermometer says the humidity is at 56%).
Would hanging them upside down in a dark place still work or is there some other trick I need to know?
Oh, and FYI, I live in North Africa and we do not have arts and crafts stores here. Any tricks would have to be something simple that I can do at home without having to buy anything special.
How to dry a rose bouquet?
Hanging them upside down will still work. 56% is not that humid. You ha one other responder with good advice, except the last part. After the roses have opened partially, and you have enjoyed them some, take them out of the water. Carefully separate them and if possible wrap a small thin wire around each stem. Place a small hook in the end of the wire and hang them upside down. They will dry faster and will dry in a more natural configuration and finally if one flower develops any fungus it will not be passed to the other roses and ruin them all.
Reply:For best results, we recommend that you arrange the roses in a vase with water and floral preservative, as you would with a regular arrangement. Let the roses open up until they are approximately halfway open. if you do not let them open at all, you end up with very small buds (if this is what you are looking for, proceed with the following instructions). After you have allowed the roses to partially open, remove them from the vase, tie a string around the bottom of the stems and hang the bunch upside down in a dry place. It will, depending on the humidity, take about two weeks for the roses to completely dehydrate. You will know when they are dry enough by gently squeezing the buds. If they are still soft then they are not yet dry. When the buds are quite firm, you may untie them and arrange as desired. It is possible to spray the buds with a 'hardener' (available at many craft stores), or hairspray, after they have dried. Doing this will help preserve the flowers and prevent crumbling.
Reply:put them in a large book and, and put something heavy on top of the book. let there for a while. when it dries put in a photo album

Why do you cut a couple of inches off the stems of a bouquet ? Anything to do with vascular tissue?
I am curious about transpiration and what this has to do with it.
Why do you cut a couple of inches off the stems of a bouquet ? Anything to do with vascular tissue?
Transpiration (evaporation of water through plant stomata) remains in effect after the flower has been cut from the parent plant. Thus, water in the xylem is pulled up the remaining stem, and it is not replaced. By cutting off a portion of the remaining stem, you re-establish the transpirational stream, and thus the flower wilts at a reduced rate, in effect “apparently” living longer.
Some studies have shown that the break in the transpirational stream is nearly instantaneous. Thus, one needs to make the cuts under water to re-establish the stream.
Reply:When plants are cut, the leaves continue to transpire, using up the water that the xylem are transporting from where the roots used to be. If several inches are not cut off the bottom, the xylem will contain air pockets that, when they reach the flowers and leaves, cause shock. Cutting the bottom few inches off in a timely manner will eliminate the air bubble in the xylem, especially if the cutting is done underwater and the plant is immediately transported into a vase with water.
You can see the air bubbles if you take a stalk of celery with the leave still on and put it in water with food coloring for thirty minutes, take it out for fifteen, and put it back in for thirty (depending on the health of the celery stalk).
Reply:Unless they are freshly cut the ends have dried and water won't travel up the stems and keep the flowers looking pretty (they will wilt and dry up instead).
Cutting the ends off before placing them in a vase of water lengthens the amount of time the flowers will look pretty/fresh.

How many flowers in a bridal bouquet?
I am interested in making my own bouquets for my wedding. I am using roses and calla lillies. How many stems makes a good size bridal bouquet? How many for a bridesmaid? Thanks in advance!
How many flowers in a bridal bouquet?
Find a nice picture and eyeball it. Make sure it's bigger than the bridesmaids.
Reply:I think it's going to depend on your taste. I plan to do my own too. I love the breezy, hand-tied look, and I can save a lot of money going it on my own. I am using Gerbera daisies for my bridesmaids, and for those I plan to leave the stems lovely and long, so I would imagine 7-8 daisies per bouquet will work out fine, tied in ribbon and secured with a brooch. For my maid of honor I am going with pink gerberas and pink roses, so hers will be a little fuller, again tied with ribbon and a brooch. Mine will be all pink roses, so I figure about a dozen for mine, with greenery and ribbons.
I hope that helps!!
Reply:i've heard of 9 in the bridesmaid bouquet and about 15 in the brides bouquet. Try www.proflowers.com
Reply:The number of stems depends on the type of bouquet you will be making. I've been to wedding where the bride and the bridesmaids carried just one stem. And there are some cascading bouquets that have a large number of stems. There are so many books about making bouquets; they will tell you how many you need and how to make them. Keep in mind that the type of bouquets you want to make consider the type and style of your wedding, how elaborate the dresses are, your body size, and your budget.
Reply:As many as you and your bridesmaids can comfortably hold
Reply:It's the width- mine is 15" rose round... about 4 dozen.
Reply:The best way to judge is to start holding them together. I would suggest going to a florist and asking how many are in a normal bouquet. If you are using silk, then get some and make one and see. Always over order a few, just in case.
Reply:A typical bridal bouquet contains 25 stems of flowers. The size of the actual bouquet will depend on how large the roses and calla lillies you are using. I personally would recommend mini-callas - they come in a variety of colors and are absolutely stunning.
I carried a bouquet of calla and roses down the isle (25 stems total) and it was a good sized bouquet. For the bridesmaids, the florist used slightly smaller flowers to create smaller bouquets. You can always use less flowers (go with 15 stems) if you want a much smaller bouquet. If you send me your email, I can send you a picture of my bouquet.
Just a hint - always use odd numbers in your bouquets so you don't need to worry about symmetry.
Congrats!
Reply:go for 8 to 12 stems in the bridemaids bouquets.
go for 14 to 18 in the bride bouquet.
Reply:Normally the bridal bouquet is slightly larger and more dramatic than the bridesmaids'. If your dress is simple, be more elaborate with your flowers, but if your dress is fancy don't distract from it with too many flowers.
Reply:for a full bouquet of callas and roses about 10-12 inches in diameter you would probably need around 3 dozen roses and 2 dozen callas. Sounds like a lot but if you want it to look full, round and lush it takes a lot of densly packed flowers.
Reply:I've actually sat down and figured out how many I want for my bouquets as well and I am using White roses and Blue Dendrobium orchids. Now, calla lillies are a little larger in size so you may want to adjust this down if it looks to be too much, but I had decided on 6 roses and 3 stems of orchids for bridesmaids, 8 roses and 4 stems of orchids for my MOH and my throw away bouquet and then 10 roses and 5 stems of orchids for my bouquet.
As I said, calla lillies are much larger in size than Dendrobium orchids so you may want to adjust that slightly but there's a good place to start. Best of luck
Reply:Just look at pictures of bouquets. That's what I did for my wedding. I went to www.theknot.com for alot of info, including pictures of bouquets. You can really do whatever you want. Just make sure your bouquet is the biggest and baddest in comparison to the bridesmaids. Maybe just have them carry 3-4 calla lillies tied together.
Reply:i used the same for my bouquet i had about 15 roses and abour 25 lillies the more the better for the bride!
