Wedding Flower Tips
Achieving a Longer Vase Life
Treating Flowers That Bend or Wilt
Snapdragons, spray roses, and gerberas all have a tendency to bend because of how hollow their stems are. You may choose to use floral wire to straighten by placing wire inside the stem and cover stem with floral tape to give them a natural looking appearance. If your flowers are wilted you may want to place them upside-down in cold water for 2-3 hours.
Treating Flowers That Tend to Break
Some stems tend to break a little easier than others so you may want to avoid this by tying with twine to a stick but not too tight so you can hydrate them easier. For the hollow stems you may also consider inserting pipe cleaner as well.
Tips for Making Centerpieces
1. Make the right selection of colors and sizes needed to fit your theme.
2. Make the right selection of greens and fillers. You may consider fewer flowers and greens to add a bit of sophistication.
3. Make the right vase selection; especially make sure they blend well with your other decorations. Depending on the size of the table, you may choose smaller or larger vases.
