What do you think of that rose?Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-73829913842039048602010-01-28T16:02:41.896-05:002010-01-28T16:02:41.896-05:00Hi! Lurking here...but I am a wedding florist and...Hi! Lurking here...but I am a wedding florist and want to give you a few unsolicited tips. (Don't hate me, I can't help it, flowers are in my blood! :)<br /><br />If you order the spray roses be ready for some of them to maybe come in smaller than you expected. Also...they have a tendency to wilt fairly quickly. I use them often in bouquets but sometimes they need to be "braced up" in the bouquet by a stronger flower. More so in warmer weather. You might consider getting a smaller head rose like the Goldstrike or Aalsmeer Gold to work in the bouquet with the spray roses. Also, you can "cuff" the underside of the bouquet with some lemon leaf (spray a bit of Pam on the leaves to shine them up a bit!) and this will also help brace the flowers and give you a more finished look! <br /><br />Or not. Just a few tips. There is a website called fiftyflowers.com that sells wholesale and I've heard a few people have really good luck with them if you are doing your own flowers! Good luck!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372988727575644425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819388586691204438.post-5484206656133219572010-01-28T14:45:43.177-05:002010-01-28T14:45:43.177-05:00Ooo!
