I been buying flowers every saturday from this local family owned flower shop for the past fifteen years or so. Throughout the course of my purchasing at the flower shop the owner and I have became close friends. She passed away yesterday. Should I send a funeral arrangement from their own shop or from another? Let's face it, people notice these things even in times of mourning. You may ask yourself, Don't you think they'll be too busy planning the funeral to be worried about your stupid arrangement? They have workers, other than the immediate family that assist in putting the arrangements together. I'm in a pickle!
A friend who owns a flower shop died yesterday. Where do I get the funeral arrangement?
That really is a tough one, because you don't know which way the family will feel about it. Either they'll be too worried or hassled or feel that you're unsympathetic if you order from them, yet if you order from somewhere else, you're giving another business money and they may feel insulted that for the one time you're buying FOR them, you didn't get it FROM them.
Honestly, I think the former is much more likely. Get it from somewhere else, because they may just feel extra pressure in a time of mourning to make a flower arrangement for THEMSELVES. Ask a friend who lives nearby where they usually get flowers, and if it's a good place.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Feel better and good luck!

Acrylic setting for flower arrangement?
Have you any of you ever used that acrylic stuff that looks like water when dry and is used for flower arrangements? What do u do when it is not drying? My project has been "setting" for six days and it is still not set. Any suggestions to speeden up the process is greatly appreciated. Also fyi, the acrylic is not the problem as one of my projects dried already. Thanks in advance:)
Acrylic setting for flower arrangement?
You most likely did not mix the catalyst properly. If you don't do it exactly like the directions tell you to do it, this is the result you will get. You will need to start over again and be sure to read and understand the directions carefully. Good luck.

What is the history of flower arrangement?
The Egyptians used plant material for decorative purposes as far back as 2,500 B.C. as shown in stone carvings... During Greek and Roman eras, flowers were made into wreaths and garlands, but hardly ever planted in pots... The byzatine Empire began construction flower bundles in cone shapes, and placing them in urns and chalices. These were then decorated with ribbons and fruit. After the fall of the Romans there is not much evidence of arrangment in the Dark ages, as there was not much time for other activites... During the Italian Rennaisance the art of floral design was reborn and containers of venetian glass, marble, and bronze were used to place flowers in.
A book was written in 1633 by P. Giovanni Battista and is called Sienas’ Flora - overo cultura di fiori about the culture of flowers and gardens and flower decoration.

Where do cake decorators buy the fresh flower arrangements and such for their cakes?
Do they buy them flower arrangements pre-made or do they buy fresh flowers and make them?
I want to decorate a cake with flowers, but i'm not sure how that is done.
Where do cake decorators buy the fresh flower arrangements and such for their cakes?
The flowers come from the florist. Note, though, that you must be very careful to order edible flowers that have not been sprayed with chemicals %26amp; bug sprays. These are a specialty item that you will likely have to order in advance if you don't live in the big city.
If you happen to have flowers in your garden that you know are edible, though, and you have not sprayed those flowers, then you could use those.
Reply:Go to your local florist, you will be able to buy whatever kind %26amp; the quantity you need... make sure to check ahead, if they don't have a specific one, they can order them for you.

Getting married what is a good flower arrangement?
white flowers, green leaves and ferns, fantastic bow and silk streamers.
roses, daisies, babys breath, carnations are the usual but you can get creative.
Remember too to get carnation boutionnaires for the groom and his groomsmen and for your father, and flowers for the maid of honor and the bridesmaids and for both mothers.
Getting married what is a good flower arrangement?
I am a floral designer, and I can tell you that it all depends on the time of year you are getting married and the colors you want in your wedding. All white? in January or September? Some flowers are not in season at certain times, and anytime around a major holiday, like valentines, mothers day, thanksgiving and christmas, roses are definitely more expensive. I suggest you make a list and be more specific and talk to a florist about your options.
Reply:It depends of the time of the year that you are getting married.
Reply:Speak to a florist. During certain times of the year, certain flowers are more available and others are more unavailable. That means, flowers will be more expensive during certain times of the year than others. Your budget may dictate what you then choose.
Roses, on the other hand, are seasonless and cost the same no matter what time of year.

Can bleeding heart flowers be used in a flower arrangement or are they toxic to the other flowers?
I have found that bleeding heart tend to wilt rather quickly. Ones that I cut in the afternoon were wilted by evening. As far as being toxic to other flowers, I'm not sure....daffodils are.

Georgian flower arrangement pictures and the colours they used?
course work for collage
Georgian flower arrangement pictures and the colours they used?
Usually for a collage you can just use whatever pictures you want. For college, need to do some research.
TRADITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS: Traditional designs of flower arrangements are those handed down from a previous generation and are considered to be, to a greater extent, decorative rather than interpretive, although there will be some element of the interpretive since one is executing the design today. These arrangements appeal to the senses; to sight, touch, and smell. Visually they emphasize natural lines of growth and the aesthetic qualities of color, form, and texture. Traditional designs stress smooth transitions and harmonious relationships in which similarities predominate over differences. Graceful rhythm is favored over forceful or conflicting movement; lines converge in a strong center of interest. Forms progress logically in size, colors are graded, and materials are consistent in character. The three classifications of traditional designs are Line, Line-mass and Mass.
Traditional Line DesignTraditional designs trace their beginnings to various European Periods. These European Periods include: Classical Greek and Roman (600 B.C. to 325 A.D.), Italian Renaissance (14th through 16th centuries), Dutch and Flemish (17th and 18th centuries), French (17th and 18th centuries), Georgian (18th and early 19th centuries), and Victorian (19th century). European styles of flower arrangement had certain similar characteristics. All were predominantly Mass designs in form, with quantities of garden flowers used for texture, color and form. Containers were characteristic of the period.
GEORGIAN: Designs were symmetrical, usually triangular, elegant and formal. Plant material of only one type was often used, and might be of one color with its variations.
1. Early Georgian (1714 - 1760): These designs were influenced by the Chinese and Italian Baroque, which employed rich, warm colors and heavy urns of metal or marble.
2. Late Georgian (1760) - 1820): Designs of the period reflected the influence of the french Rococo in the use of more delicate plant materials and colors. Victorian, (1820 - 1901): The use of flowers was dictated by Queen Victoria during her reign. General characteristics of these designs were similar throughout the Victorian period. Early Victorian designs showed a French influence. About 1850, Victorian designs portrayed the coming into power and wealth of the middle classes. Little restraint was shown and designs were overdone with flowers tightly massed losing their beauty of individual blooms.

How do i get floating candles like that?
and do i just use water?
Can I use any type of flower?
Thanks =]
How can I make this flower arrangement? HELP?
You can get floating candles anywhere. Less than $2 a piece. Try google search "Floating candles."
You just use water.
You can't use any kind of flowers. The petals have to be firm. Soft petals won't hold their original shape when they are submerged into the water. The one you see in the picture is called "Mokara Orchid." Either this one, or you can use Dendrobium Orchid (cheaper) or Cymbidium Orchid (expensive).
Don't use silk. They are too soft; besides, they are too buoyant.
Reply:i don't know if that is water or a special oil. i have seen both. you can buy floating candles almost anywhere. you could use whatever type flower you wanted, silk would last a long time.
http://i.ivillage.com/HH/slideshows/Spri...
Reply:I would recommend silk flowers because not all flowers do well submerged in water like that for long periods of time. All you need is the floating candles and the glass votive which are cheap. Any craft store would have them but i would try and find them online.

How do I make a flower carpet for a flower show arrangement?
Get chicken wire that has holes small enough to be covered by flower heads. Cut it the size you need, and cut a piece (several if needed) of felt to cover the back so the wire won't scratch the surface it will lay on. Spray glue the back of the wire and lay on the felt, pressing down to adhere.Flip over to wire side up.Remove the heads from the flowers you are using, and hot glue them down, covering the holes in the chicken wire.
Where's a website i can go to to learn how to do flower arrangement?
Here are two below.
Where's a website i can go to to learn how to do flower arrangement?
Polina, it's easy. Here's how I learned.
Find a photograph of your favorite arrangements.
Find a container that you like that is a similar shape.
Start off learning with silk flowers. Go to michaels or even Walmart and buy the same size and texture and colors of the floral arrangement you want to COPY.
Get the floral foam for silk flowers, its harder and thicker.
Practice setting the flowers in like the photo. Add the green silks first then do the biggest and tallest flowers next. Then fill in with the smaller ones.
Repeat until you have taught yourself. I don't like lessons because it takes from your own creativity, WHICH YOU DO HAVE!
Most of all, have fun doing it, don't get frustrated. Have some wine and play your favorite music.
After you learn how to arrange with silks, you can buy the floral foam, which will hold water, soak the foam and arrange the flowers you bought or brought in from the garden, it will be a snap.
For vase flowers, you don't need foam.

How do you seal the stems of a flower arrangement so it will not leak on my wedding dress?
My wedding dress is ivory and I am going to be carrying a big bouquet of calla lillies and we dont want the stems to leak on my dress. Does anybody have the answer? THANKS :-)
How do you seal the stems of a flower arrangement so it will not leak on my wedding dress?
They don't leak. What you might want to do though for during the reception is to have a large glass vase full of water on the bridal table. You can stick your flowers in there during the reception. That way they stay fresh and decorate the table. Some brides like to save their bouquet or give it to a family member who perhaps couldn't attend. They'll use an inexpensive artificial bouquet for the toss.
Reply:They have those bulb type things that slide onto the end of the stems that hold water and don't leak because they have a seal on top. Check with a florist or florist supply store.
Reply:I have heard of wrapping the stem ends tightly in saran wrap, then using a circle of fabric and lace to wrap that in turn. Cinch ithe opening with a rubber band, and wrap with some pretty ribbon.
Reply:seal the bottoms with candle wax.
Reply:You could use fake flowers, which would solve that problem all together. Otherwise, you could wrap the ends of the flowers with a ribbon that matches your wedding theme/colors.
I recommend the fake flowers. You can make a seperate bouquet for throwing. This way you can keep your flowers as a sentimental souviner from your special day. Many craft stores sell fake flowers that look real. I know my sister-in-lay bought her's from Franks Nursery and Garden, but it went out of business near my home (close to Chicago). Hobby Lobby and Michael's are also great stores to check out. My mom made all the bouquets and boutineer's for my 3 sibling's weddings and they looked so beautiful!!
Good luck and Congrats! Hope I helped!!!
Reply:small dabs of hot glue.. the clear kind so you cant see it. Do it not to long before the time. btw, congrats and good luck!!!!!!
Reply:They make these little vials that you fill with water and poke each flower into a rubber topper that has a hole in it, you can go to any floral shop and purchase them.
*Sorry but I don't know the technical name of them!
Reply:Try dipping them in clear candle wax until they are sealed -or- use floral tape to wrap the stems. But calla's don't make much of a mess to go through the trouble, just be careful with the bo-k.
Congratulations...Enjoy your day!!!
Reply:You know that green foam that floral arrangements have at the bottom? They make balls of that for bouquets. You can stick the flowers into the dampened foam, have a bouquet attachment on it, and wrap the whole dang thing in wide ribbon. The end result is absolutely beautiful.
Reply:you can always get a cloth thats white and put it on the flowers and then find a ribbon and tie it on the white cloth.that worked 4 me.......
Reply:As long as you aren't trying to leave them in water till right before the ceremony the stems will dry out quickly just being exposed to the air. If you are making your own I'd take them out of the water at least 2 hours before the ceremony and they will naturally seal to protect the water in the stem and the flower from wilting.
Reply:Use fake flowers. My bouquet is fake, though no one could tell, but everyone knows me enough to know if I get something, it's going to last forever.
Reply:They should alreay be dry, and normally alreay wrapped in a ribbon so they stay together...should be done for you by whomever is doing your flowers for you...
Reply:How about wrapping the stems in ribbon? Or they make a silver holder that may work.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Victorian-Tussy-Muss...
Or you can look up "tussie mussie" on ebay for more of them.
Reply:i would suggest leave them out of water for a few hours or even a day before. leave then in the freezer or someplace cool where they wont wilt.

Reply:They should alreay be dry, and normally alreay wrapped in a ribbon so they stay together...should be done for you by whomever is doing your flowers for you...
Reply:How about wrapping the stems in ribbon? Or they make a silver holder that may work.

Or you can look up "tussie mussie" on ebay for more of them.
Reply:i would suggest leave them out of water for a few hours or even a day before. leave then in the freezer or someplace cool where they wont wilt.
Interested in flower arrangement classes, where to I go for classes?
Call your local florist shop, they should know. Maybe, you could even get a job there and learn.
Interested in flower arrangement classes, where to I go for classes?
Many large communities offer "adult education" classes that are craft oriented. Keep an eye on the "community news" section of your local newspaper. They will usually have a section on educational opportunities in your area.
Senior citizen centers also offer many kinds of classes.
Good luck with your search.
Reply:Depends on where you live. Usually, your local tech schools or colleges offer these classes...
Reply:try your local Michaels they have a florist on site and sometimes offer classes. I used to work for one here in Little Rock and we offerred classes untill our florist found a new job.

Need suggestions for a Candle/Flower Winter Arrangement?
Id like to have a Winter arrangement at the place I work of flowers and candles but Im not sure what to put together for a classy/elegant look ... Id prefer the flowers to be silk (I can get many years out of the arrangement this way and won't spend a ton)
Please %26amp; Thank you
Need suggestions for a Candle/Flower Winter Arrangement?
I would go with white flowers in a clear glass container, like this one, for elegance:
http://www.flowerpot.com/flowers/product...
If you want to add candles, I like the way this one has been added safely in a tall glass votive:

When I think of winter flowers, I think amaryllis:

Reply:This is a great time to get a winter arrangement...buy left over [on sale] silvery,,,glittery,,, foliage ...and add brilliant blue and shiny objects like glass beads and white and blue candles put it all on a mirror laid flat or arrange in a clear bowl or vase... let your imagination go
Reply:well silver candles are the best for winter months because they have a way of fighting depression. Nope I'm serious. Why you think its used so much at christmas time? Its shiny and has a secondary cause. But you can use white as well its pretty for snow as well. Winter candles are wonderful, some scents are now available such as snow or pine cone, pretty smells. Don't used pine cones or pine needles after the second of January for winter decoration, its bad luck. My suggestion would be red berries, nuts, apples, things of this nature. You want to use winter "fruits and nuts and berries" to stay in your theme. Actually the only time you should use flowers in a flower arrangement should be about the time that they start to bloom to the time that they naturally die. You can go to a store and get status, and ucylupus and other things of this nature to go with your berrys and nuts and things. But for winter you want to keep a winter theme, there are ways to dress it up to make it look pretty and I'm sure you can come up with dozens of ways.

Does anyone know where i would buy a nice artifical flower arrangement?
Around here, at least, there are a variety of independent florists who can fix ya up. Even our local supermarkets often have a section offering a variety of floral arrangements, house plants, and of course, dried flower arrangements. Another place to check, though I hesitate to recommend chain stores, is JoAnn Fabrics - their larger stores have a selection of artificial flowers from which you can create your own unique arrangement.

What is the proper measurement of the height of the flower arrangement in relation to the with of the table?
where should it be put in the table? what is the proper proportion of the height of the arrangement with the table? and what is the proper height if its for a centerpiece or etc. ?
What is the proper measurement of the height of the flower arrangement in relation to the with of the table?
I think the main thing to keep in mind is just to make sure that people can see and talk to each other without having to lean around the flowers or peer over them. Usually I try to keep it smallish and low, and just set it in the center of the table.
Reply:The flower arrangement should be in proportion with the container not the table. Formal arrangements used to be 1 and 1/2 x's the hight of the vase, urn or ewer. There doesn't seem to be a stead fast rule any longer.
However, centre pieces should always permit for easy eye contact between people, so no one should have to look arround the arrangement to see another person. Also, bear in mind how the table is being set and permitting room for dishes, etc.
Sometimes a tiny vase or old perfume bottle with a single flower or rose bud in front of each person will work very well.
Have fun.

Can you suggest a theme for a flower arrangement competition???
An arrangement that would be useful and profitable would be one that is a Baby theme. It could be used for baby showers as well as for giving to the new parents. I think if you mound fat crysthamums in decreasing sizes, one on top of the other and make a little flannel diaper for the bottom one and put a face on the top one using the same eyes and felt things to make the face on the flowers that look like a poodle that would really be cute.

Prolonging a Flower Arrangement?
The flower arrangements in our office reception tables are changed by the florist every week, even though we have an airconditioned enviorenment, we find the flowers drying up ahead of the 7 days period (due to the dry atmosphere and hot weather), is there something we can do like cover the bouquets in polythene overnight to prolong freshness, or put some chemical in the water, or any other domestic tactic you know off... etc ???
Prolonging a Flower Arrangement?
I have heard if you put an aspirin in the water it will last longer something, make sure that the arrangement has plenty of water. Good luck
Reply:tell the florist that you would like to have the arrangements made with longer lasting flowers whenever possible.
They can do a lot to chose flowers that are likely hold up better.
They should be using flower conditioner/food in the water when they are arranging them. They might be able to give you extra pack of it to use during the week.
If you notice the water getting cloudy or dirty, change it.Cooler temperatures will help slow the aging process.
Make sure they aren't getting in sun or being hit by a bright(halogen type) light, the heat will age them.
Remove spent flowers.
don't cover them that will speed the deterioration.
You could put them on the floor at night, it is cooler on the floor.

We ordered flowers from a wholesaler because it way so much cheaper. I don't have any experience with this so please help me!
Does anybody know how to put together a nice flower arrangement for a wedding?
Dont know if you are doing bouquets or table arrangements. If they are bouquets get bouquet holders from Michaels or Walmart..put greenery around the back first, then main flowers..roses or carns, then fill in with babies breath. For table arrangements put oasis (water holding foam type )in container, again put greens in first, then major flowers in a wagon wheel type pattern, then fill in with babies breath or greens or something small
Reply:I put flowers together for two weddings. It depends on what you are looking for. I am not a crafty person but one wedding I was in and I was just trying to get the bride not to have a breakdown. The other was my best friend's wedding and I helped her sister in law (who was a florist). But I did put together the bouquet.
First wedding...unopened roses. white and red. We put five white roses in the middle and surrounded it with red roses...we used wire and wound each one together. Then we used wide white and red ribbon to cover the outside wire and curled it with the scissor. We tied to together the white roses first and then the read onto the outside until we had three rings around. That is a very classy look.
Second wedding. Bride ordered flowers...florist went out of business two days before wedding and would not do wedding (actually I think they went bankrupt). Did give us whatever in stock that we wanted. We filled up two buckets of flowers. We had carnations, baby's breath, roses, etc. Her bridesmaids dresses were dark pink for the maid of honor and light pink for everyone else. We actually went to the dress store and asked them for extra fabric from the dresses (I had to order a size 16 for my chest but my skirt size is 8) we had a lot of fabric from my skirt (plus they took off three four inches from the bottom). Friend's Mom sewed little flower pouches and glued white lace on the outside edges and everything was beatiful. I wish I had pictures.
You can do anything as long as it goes with the event. If it is early day casual, you might want to have litte baskets or just hand tied ribbons on flowers. If it is formal, you want it to be more uniform and tighter. Just look in the bridal magazines and see what you like.

Can I propagate flowers from flower arrangement?
I have an amazing centerpiece that I grabbed from a company dinner. The foliage is exceptional and there is even an orchid in there with new growth on the...stick (can you tell I'm just a beginner?).
Anyway, should I stick them in dirt, or stick them in water when the piece starts to die?
Can I propagate flowers from flower arrangement?
i doubt it. you usually need super fresh cuttings to propagate them. try using a rooting hormone, which you can get at home depot. recut the end of a STURDY stem, without flowers. dip it in water, and then in the rooting hormone. then insert the stem into a pot of moist soil, and put the pot in a clear plastic bag. i really doubt it will root, but you can always try =)
ps. dont wait for them to start wilting or turning brown. if you decide to root them do it asap.

i doubt it. you usually need super fresh cuttings to propagate them. try using a rooting hormone, which you can get at home depot. recut the end of a STURDY stem, without flowers. dip it in water, and then in the rooting hormone. then insert the stem into a pot of moist soil, and put the pot in a clear plastic bag. i really doubt it will root, but you can always try =)
ps. dont wait for them to start wilting or turning brown. if you decide to root them do it asap.
How can I tell if I have an origianl Swarovski Maxi Flower Arrangement?
It is in a Swarovski box and the arrangment seems to fit the "foam. I just don't know if Swarovski puts a "mark" like a swan on origianl pieces.

How do you transport a vase flower arrangement in a car?
I got them at work today, and they didn't come in a box or anything, so how do I get them home without splling?
How do you transport a vase flower arrangement in a car?
just put them on the floor and move the seat forward to wedge them...they shouldn't move if you wedge them tight enough between the seats
Reply:You don't need to stress so much about any spillage, as you do keeping the blooms intact.
You also don't want your pretty vase to break.
Just ask around at work for a scrap cardboard box for your flower arrangement. Unless you work for a jerk, the person in charge (or a co-workker) should be more than happy to set you up.
Maybe you know of a place to snoop around on your own for leftovers (when the boss is on break).
Set the vase in the box, then carefully wrap some newspaper or copy paper loosely around the blooms (top of the vase) to support it.
When yo get home, put an aspirin tablet in the water to keep it fresh (7 - up doesn't work any more, since they went all-natural).
Reply:Use a cardboard box with wadded up newspaper to prevent it from tipping over.
Reply:I have put a vase on the front seat and put the seat belt around it. First pull the belt out all the way so that it will lock and then let it tighten around the vase. Put your coat or something around the base to keep it from sliding around and you are good to go! The best thing about having them up on the passenger seat is that you can easily reach over and steady them while turning or stopping.
Reply:put in a box that just fits vase then put on floor in the front, ready to grab in need to, usually not though.
Reply:Go to a cafe or food business and get a box its Christmas and all people feel nice and helpful

Is there something you can put i a cut flower arrangement's water to prolong the blooms???
my 8 year old daughter is entering an "arrangement" at our local fair. I have the flowers refrigerated until we leave today BUT, what can I use in the water to "keep" the flowers looking fresh longer???
Is there something you can put i a cut flower arrangement's water to prolong the blooms???
Change the water before you leave. Add a half teaspoon of household bleach for each 16 fluid ounces of water.
Reply:put sugar in the water
Reply:The myth buster folks did a check on what to use on christmas trees to keep them fresh. I think they found out the sprays worked best... however, of the things that you put in water, sugar actually made them last a shorter time. I've found that's true with flowers too.
People used to put a copper penny in ... I never found that worked.
I've used aspirin... with little success.
The packets that they sell with fresh cut flowers work well. I think they basically contain sugar in a form that's usable by plants, an acidifier, and something to kill the bacteria in the water. This works better than the home remedies, which tend to address only one of the needs, and sometimes not well.
Reply:add a couple of drops bleach or milton to the water. It stops bacteria forming, thus no smelly water and soggy rotten stems. Some people suggest sugar etc but I find this simply makes the flowers wilt faster...
Good luck with your daughter's entry :-)

What do you guys think about this type of flower arrangement colors I plan to send to my gf at work?
I been dating my gf for close to 2 months and Its my first ever pay check from work and I am planning to spend it all on the most important people to me... One of them being my gf. I plan on sending her flowers at work since she knows that I have never gave anyone gifts and It will be my first.... So I have come up with the following arrangements...
6 white roses - showing that I care
5 yellow roses - signifying friendship
1 red rose - love
Purpose is that I want her to know that I care of her and will be there for her; with the friendship and trust that we have, love will surely come.... This kind of summarizes what our relationship is currently like.
I want to write her about the meanings of the colors but I am not sure how to come about it... She is a simple girl and I dont know if I should just explain to her through a poem or directly tell her in writing.
What do you guys think about this arrangement and idea?

um ohmygosh i want a bf who does that
poem is really romantic and cute
ohmygosh MARRY ME
jkjkj you have a gf and she is really lucky i wish u could teach a few things to the guys at my school
Reply:spend your whole first pay check ? i think she would like one rose better.
your idea is good, if you could afford it. you might make her feel bad for spending so much.
and to all the women who are wishing their boyfriend will do this, we dont do it after about the age of 18 because we learn fast that women will not date a guy who does it. they always leave us for the guy that never buys flowers, so we stop buying them so we can get a date.
want a guy to think of you? stop dating losers.
Reply:Yes, your flower arrangement is great = ) Not only is it sweet and creative, but it's also very appropriate. Considering the fact that you two are still really fresh into the relationship, it seems right to have more of the white %26amp; yellow roses.
A poem would be nice and sweet. Personally, I'd like this better, because it shows that you've put in a little more effort. Some girls find poems corny, but when written with the right words, a poem can make most girls feel extremely special. Then again, I am not your girlfriend... Ha, ha, ha!
But, just go for it! It's extremely sweet! You'd be surprised at how many guys DON'T do these sort of things for their girlfriends! GOOD LUCK!
Reply:Honestly if you put that much time and effort into that she'll love it. Guys really don't think about things that much. At least ones I've dated. She'll really appreciate that you put a lot of thought into it.
Reply:it is ok .... and well known facts ......
if u have her pic, then u can make it animated alongwith ur pic, recording the audio as " i like u , i care u, and i love u, and i want u in my life for ever ... "
as soon as she opens this animated file, she listens these words from ur lips and looks at u in the animation ....
u may send it by mail ....
Reply:Call me a wet blanket, but I agree with the person mentioning the amount you spend .. the amount you spend means nothing compared to the thought you have put into this gift. While blowing everything on her is romantic in its extravagance, please let me suggest the following ..
Open a savings account with part of your check and add to it every check thereafter showing you're a man who thinks abut the future .. a future that could include your wonderful girlfriend. Buy the flowers, but get them at a grocery or even a walmart/kmart store. You can get 3 bouquets of 18 roses for $9 each or $27 total .. give them to her in person, perhaps during a dinner out and explain to her the meaning of the colours in your own words while looking into her eyes. BELIEVE me she will remember that much more than if you blew a load of cash and had them sent to her work.
Reply:1st thing u need to know what is her favorite colors. If u dunno, then probably you need to play it safe by not getting any flowers that are overwhelming becoz....... it is a work place after all and you do not want her to be totally embarassed.
Light colors roses will be great. Avoid striking colors. Keep it romantic by wrapping with baby wreath.
Keep your words simple in describing your love since you said she is a simple gal. Be direct with the truth and keep it short so she can remember those 1st few words of expressing your love to her.
God bless!
Reply:i think its wonderful idea but you should tell her in a poem if you can she will love it ! and i think she will think you are the sweetest guy ever good luck and happiness to you
Reply:I love it! And just the fact that you put so much thought into it will mean so much to her! You're one of the few guys left in the world who would actually take to time to do this kind of thing! She's a lucky girl

Where to get a custom flower arrangement?
I'm not going for looks so much, but as thought behind it as these are her favorite flowers, and from any of the online flower places (1800, ftd, etc) they are only sold as pre-set arrangements. Would a local florist be able to provide me with some random flowers for me to arrange myself, or do they always sell pre-set arrangements?
I'm going for:
Forget me Not
Tulips
Orchids
Lily of the Valley
Are these common enough to find at any florist, or are these out of line?
Where to get a custom flower arrangement?
Contact your local florist,
they will be able to order these flowers for you in any amount.
just be prepared to pay. Try your local green houses and your large grocery stores, most have a flower section

Do any of you know if there is a funeral flower arrangement book in the market?
I need to buy books that has a great deal of photos for funeral flowers arrangement. I also need to get books on room decorating tips for funeral parlor.
Do any of you know if there is a funeral flower arrangement book in the market?
Contact an established local florist in your area. The florist would have several books on funeral flowers and could either sell you some of their books or give you a good source of where to secure one. Also, look for the nearest Floral Syndicate store, or a First Distributor - these are wholesalers for florists - they have books on sympathy flowers by John Henry. The books show the flowers in the funeral home setting, so you could get ideas on decorating your funeral home.

I'm not sure about the funeral parlor decorating.
Reply:the best books out there with funeral flowers are the wire service books. go on ebay and look for teleflora or ftd books that florists may be selling. if you are decorating the funeral home, is it for business purposes so clients will order from you or is it for the purpose of general decorating? i am curious, if you are doing this as a business, why dont you already have the books or pics of past work you have done. clients do not want to see a picture book they want to see pics of what you have done.
for decorating the funeral home, subtle arrangements in the color scheme that will coordinate with funeral homes style . there is no special decorating involved

What is the best way to care for gerberas in a flower arrangement? (Please read details!)?
My daughter's first birthday party is this Saturday and I wanted to get pink Gerberas for the tables, but I am not the best with plants and flowers and keeping things alive... Am I completely safe to get the flowers the night before so I have less to do the morning of the party? Will they still look firm and fresh? Also - what should I put them in (besides water)...or basically, how do YOU care for flower arrangements?
Thank you!!!
What is the best way to care for gerberas in a flower arrangement? (Please read details!)?
Gerberas are notorious for being the first ones to go in an arrangement of mixed flowers. Sure you can buy them the day before the party and they will last overnight if the florist hasn't' had them for a while before selling them.
What I do is when I get them home I cut all the stems about 1" at an angle. Then if the florist has given you a packet of flower life extender then I add that to fresh warm water and immediately place the freshly cut flowers in. If you don't get the extender then you can use 7-UP or an aspirin in the water with one drop of bleach to prevent algae. Then I re-cut the flowers everyday and add fresh water.
Happy birthday to your daughter!
Reply:I always purchase my floral arrangements the day before parties or events. I keep them in the fridge overnight to keep them fresh. In the morning, I check the water and sometimes change it. I also check the ends of the stems to see whether they need a fresh cut. Some people swear by putting an asprin in the water to keep them fresher longer, but I usually just use the little preservative packetts included with the flowers.
Reply:Gerbera Daisy is no different than any other cut flowers... Just Keep it watered, and in a cool dry place (out of sunshine and away from heat) if you want a longer time than just the day with the arrangements....
It should be safe to get then the day before, provided you pick out healthy looking ones...NO brownish looking or wilted anything in the bunch..... and keep them in the air-conditioning till put out onto the tables......Happy Birthday to your daughter , good luck with your party, and Have FUN!

How to keep alive bamboo in a flower arrangement?
Using cut bamboo in a flower arrangement always results in the bamboo leaves drying up and curling within hours. Is there any way to preserve the bamboo? I am using golden bamboo.
How to keep alive bamboo in a flower arrangement?
Thats usually pretty tough. Although bamboo is the toughest plant to kill in the ground, it is touchy when cut. You may want to go to your local flower shop and ask for some leaf preserver. Its a spray that coats the leaves (spray on top and bottom) with a wax that keeps the moisture from exiting through the stomata.
If done right, the bamboo can be reused in many arrangements. This will keep the leaves nice and full and shiny.

What's the best way to clean silk flower arrangement?
I tried spraying and dipping a large arrangement in the tub. But it was so dusty it seems I will have to wipe each leaf and flower.
Does the salt in the bag treatment work?

I set mine in the shower and give it a good rinse, this has always worked for me, or use the kitchen sink with the sprayer the added force of the spray should clean them.
Reply:there is Silk Flower spray cleaner that you can get at a Hobby store that will work %26amp; comes with instructions.
Reply:A damp rag should do the trick.
Reply:they have a spray that brings silk flowers back like new and im not sure of the name
Reply:Blow drier on cool setting to loosens the dust and grime. Then wipe with a duster.
Reply:You should spray on it one by one. You can also dip the flowers in water with mild liquid soap but do it one by one to avoid dust scattering over the other flowers, and if the water gets very dirty, change it before dipping the flower again.
Reply:splace them under the shower and spray soap on them then just hang them upside down to dry
Reply:I watched this done on television. You take a brown paper bag and add white salt in the bag. Then you put your artificial flowers in the bag. Close the bag up and shake it for 5-10 minutes.
Reply:I had a silk tree (had) until i took it out into the front yard, as usual %26amp; hosed it down. But this time I left it sitting out there for a week in the sun :( The leaves curled forever. Looked like it dried up, so sprayed it again %26amp; put it on the porch to dry %26amp; it looked great! Then it curled again- can't fix it-Waah!

Is there any difference between flower arrangement and gardening?
Is there any difference between flower arrangement and gardening?There are various types of gardening these days-gardening, terrace gardening %26amp; indoor gardening? Does indoor gardening differ from flower arrangement?
Is there any difference between flower arrangement and gardening?
Yes, there is a difference.
Gardening has to do with growing living plants (flowering or not) - and the venue doesn't much matter. traditional (outside in the ground), in containers, terrace, indoor...it can all be called "gardening".
Flower arrangement has to do with assembling cut flowers into pleasing displays. They are not growing - they've been cut.

Flower arranging is working with cut flower while gardening is working with plants in soil.
Indoor gardening requires proper lighting from windows or added fluorescent lighting. It also requires using the proper amount of water so that you do not get a mold on your soil which will affect the plants health.
One type of garden I like in the summer is an outdoor cutting garden so that I can cut flower and use in fresh arrangements or dry for arrangements in the fall and winter months. Denise http://www.thegardenersrake.com
Reply:Of course. Garden grows live flowers with roots and flower arranging used cut flowers with no roots.
Indoor gardening usually means small plants in tubs with roots.

Flower arrangement?
I want to make a flower arrangement for my mother for her b/day. Using real flowers. Can I buy any I want and put them together? What kinds of flowers do well together? I was thinking some carnations, tulips, roses maybe. Those sorts. Colorful.
Also, once i have them arranged and cut, is it ok to tie the bottom part of the stems with a rubber band, so it looks neater?
Are all flowers cut the same? About 1 1/2 inches diagonal from the bottom?

You can go to the grocery store and buy any single stems they have, plus filler and greens, european market bouquets are also sold and you could get one of those and add the extra flowers you pick out, the person there will help
you out.
I think you just want to bouquet them for your mom, because arranging them, they would be either in a vase or in floral foam. It is ok to bind them, as long as they are not out of the water long.
When flowers come into a floral department they are all cut the same. By the time you get them from the store they have probably been cut at least 4-5 times
Reply:tomtay had very good suggestions too. Report It
Reply:Since its springtime any type of flower is going to be nice..I like tulips, and purple Iris, Gerber Daisies, and stargazers ..Carnations are o.k. but go for the unusual...Add some yellow button flowers to the arrangement and dont forget to use Leather fern for your greenery..You may have to go to a florist and buy each individual flower and greenery. .It will be fresher than the grocery store...Cut your flowers at a angle before putting them in water...You may want to arrange them in a vase, if not wrap them in a rubber band to hold the shape of the arrangement...You can wrap them in colored cellephane, then make a bow from some floral ribbon.
