White is for pure and ardent love, while red means "Alas my poor heart." One thing to keep in mind is since they are inexpensive and long-lasting, it is no wonder our carnation flowers for sale have become a favorite choice among our customers.

Making Necklaces and Bracelets

It is customary in India to wear floral garlands around the neck or wrist and we often make these for weddings involving mix of cultures. At a Hindu wedding, the bride and groom exchange sumptuous garlands, mainly of red and white flowers decorated with silver, assembling by threading the flower head onto wire. Carnations work well for these, as they are relatively inexpensive (a factor when so many flower heads are needed) and are durable. Some brides like to break with convention and wear something more unusual, such as floral boa or a necklace of flowers. If you do choose a necklace, you need to have a good, elegant neck, so experiment first. Wrist corsages can also add glamour to a bridal dress and look fabulous on more bridesmaids or matrons-of-honor. Some brides choose to have their shoes adorned with flowers which peep out from under the gown as they walk. If you are planning something out of the ordinary, it is worth spending a little bit more money and asking someone to make a prototype to try out. That way you can be sure you are happy with your ideas. If you wish to sew flower heads onto your dress, you will have to ask someone to wire them, so that the stem is removed, making it easier for you to attach them to your gown. A few miniature rose heads sewn on to a veil can look very romantic.

If you are planning a wedding or preparing for a special event, it's a good idea to benchmark some timetables before receiving your Carnation Delivery. If you'll be arranging you flowers yourself, assess the quantities of blooms, greenery, containers, and materials that you'll need. Research our website for other varieties you may be using along with your carnations. It is recommended that you do this 2 or 3 months beforehand. 6 weeks before your event, it is recommended that you go ahead and place your order. At this time you may also want to confirm and vases, ribbons, and any other materials you will need, especially if this is a DIY event. 3 to 4 weeks before your event, be sure to work out the wedding day timing and details, which includes: delivery and distribution of centerpieces, bouquets, and other arrangements. Draw up a schedule to share with your bridal party, helpers, and other important persons. 1 week before your event, designate a person to meet, greet, and handle each vendor. Please confirm that your flower order has been correctly placed and successfully filled. 2 or 3 days before your event pick up the flowers and greenery and begin conditioning the flowers, if necessary. The day before your wedding, start arranging the centerpieces and make the corsages and boutonnieres.

Carnations are very important to us in life and can also be used in many other ways besides centerpieces, necklaces, boutonnieres and corsages. You may consider making a bouquet of carnations. You will need about 30 to 40 stems. You will want to pick out your own style of ribbon, and then get plenty of floral tape, clippers and a stem of pipe cleaner. Take all your blooms and gently pet the petals outwardly as to fully open the blooms. Remove any foliage, but gently, leaving plenty of extra stem. Begin shaping your bouquet by assembling three blooms at time with floral tape, and then assemble it all together. Wrap the handle with the ribbon of your choice. You can then add pearl pins on the side of the handle and trim all the stems at the bottom evenly.
