www.michaels.com has a lot of info on that
Where can i find information on how to make silk-flower arrangements and bouquets for a wedding?
A lot of cities have classes put on by their respective Parks %26amp; Rec. Departments. I know in my towm, there is something very similar to what you are looking for being offered, as well as art, pottery, dancing, and other types of classes. Good luck in your search!
Reply:You could look for books at the book store, discount stores and home improvements stores.
On the internet, you should check out Carol Duval TV episodes on www.hgtv.com. She probably has some information.
Also check your craft stores. They will have information. Good Luck!

I an a retired person.I would like to persue, flower arrangement as a hobby. Is there any body who can teach?

Check out the continuing ed courses at your local university or tech school. Sometimes these such non-credit courses are offered. Also, talk to your favorite florist to see if he/she might have some recommendations or suggestions.
Reply:Check up at a local Book stall for books on IKEBANA. That is a good start with some standard styles.Make a beginning with collecting Driftwood and dried creepers which can serve as good props for cut creepers for a one-day show or for seasonal display of theme arrangements using dry or durable flowers.
While decorating in imitation of Ikebana Book illustrations ask yourself the simple question "Can I use other variations using similar or different kinds of flowers or props"
Keep experimenting and soak up all the kudos that come your way. cs r

What's the best flower arrangement for center table?
It all depends on the party at the time
I prefer low cut arrangements small so you can have nice talks across the table if your trying to keep it quiet and to the person next to you like a formal party try long stems in a high vase so you can't see the person across the table so you don;t have to talk across just to the person next to you
Low cut flowers that are nice and cheap carnations you can get any color and high cut if your not worried about seasons i love lilies or tulips
Good luck and have fun with it
If your doing a kids party try the colorful tissue paper bunch it up and make it into flowers.

What's the best flower arrangement for center table?
colors that match the room
Reply:Keep in mind that artistically, one item on a surface looks better than two, and three look better than two or four. Two of anything to look mitchy-matchy is not pleasing. Either one in the center or one with two smaller ones to complement.
If you're referring to a low coffee table, one glass vase is pretty so you can observe the water level halfway up. The flower arrangement should not be so tall that it obstructs the people's view. You don't want to have to peer around an arrangement in order to make eye contact and carry on a conversation.
My coffee table holds a fat pillar candle in a hurricane vase with a couple of large shells to one side to offset it. (there's your three) Or put a candle and two staggered pictorial books. Or a natural African Violet and two staggered books. Later in the Fall or for Thanksgiving I just lay a natural harvest wreath in the center (big so it comes to 10" of the edge) and I may put the pillar candle in the center but not unless we're sitting around in there to enjoy the candle glowing. Consider a seasonal wreath and change it through the year.
Sometimes the stack of coasters works as the third item.
I have sometimes chosen green branches for a vase arrangement when things are not flowering in my yard. I make a green arrangement with even pine, grasses, small palm fronds. An amber glass vase on my corner table holds a single elephant-ear leaf and it gives a serene look.

Is thier a market on internet for silk flower arrangements?
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchin...
using the overture tool - the term "silk flowers" returned 33 thousand queries per month in the yahoo network. also keep in mind that it is only one of thousands of terms that can bring interested visitors to a site on this topic.
What that means for you is that there are people who are looking for it online. As to whether that means they will buy online is another question but i think it a safe assumption that there is at least a market for it.
The next step for you should be to look at some of the othere companies that seem to be doing well and give them a ring to see how they are doing with their online businesses.
Tell them you are an MBA doing a research project or something. most business owners love to talk about their brilliant business successes.
Another great tool is google trends. http://google.com/trends?q=silk+flowers
this will give you some idea of demand in google, seasonality and the most interested locations geographicaly.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Reply:Looking of the number of search results in Google for silk flower arrangements, I would say there is a market for this product.
Even Bureau of Labor Statistics http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos292.htm is bullish about the job prospects of floral designers, many of whom engage in doing silk flower arrangements, projecting that
"Employment of floral designers is expected to grow about as fast as average for all occupations through 2014. Job opportunities should be good because of the relatively high replacement needs in retail florists that result from comparatively low starting pay and limited opportunities for advancement.
The demand for floral designers will continue to grow as flower sales increase as a result of the increasing population and lavishness of weddings and other special events that require floral decorations. As disposable incomes rise, more people also desire fresh flowers in their homes and offices. Increased spending on interior design also is creating demand for stylish artificial arrangements for homes and businesses."
To succeed on the Web, you can adopt these approaches:
1. Create your own website showcasing your wedding services and selling your silk floral arrangements. One article that I found very useful is "7 Steps to Successful Web Site Development" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol142/websi... as it takes to you all the decision steps that you need to take when starting an online business.
2. Make arrangements with other online wedding stores (e.g. wedding favors, wedding photography, wedding registry) wherein they carry and sell your silk floral arrangements in exchange for a percentage of the sale. These other websites have their own market, their traffic and your product is a perfect complement to them.
Reply:As a veteran professional florist, I can tell you silks are a tough business. It is unlikely anyone will buy wedding flowers over the net. It is the bride's special day and she is going to want to see her flowers before going down the aisle. More so for one choosing silk over fresh since part of the reason for doing so is quality control and durability. Silks don't die on the way to the church.
Your real market for silks would be to businesses for decorating their locations. That market is much larger and more likely to be interested in buying from images on their screens.

Fake water for flower arrangements?
I just put a silk flower arrangement together in a vase and added that fake water stuff. It says it will harden in 24-48 hours but by now shouldn't it at least be getting thicker? it has been 6 hours. It says to use it in 65-74 degree temps so I am at 70. I know i mixed it right.
Fake water for flower arrangements?
give it time, it is a chemical reaction.
Reply:Leave it alone, we use it at work all the time and it takes quit awhile to even start to gel. Walk away and don't touch it!!!!
