Fun Flower Facts
What does it mean when the water in my vase turns yellow and cloudy?
This is a natural sign that bacteria are growing in the water. Bacteria can clog stems and shorten the vase life of flowers, so keep the water clear at all times to ensure the longevity of your blooms. If your water starts to turn cloudy, immediately empty the vase and add fresh water, preferably mixed with floral food. Re-cut the stems with a sharp knife under warm water before placing them in the vase of fresh water.
What are some creative flower ideas for my wedding reception?
Garland the center of the head table with flowers, foliage and votive candles. Use the bridesmaids' bouquets to create lavish buffet table decorations or to surround the cake. Have us create guest table centerpieces with 4-5 separate clusters of flowers so that each couple can take a part of the centerpiece home. Float large fragrant flowers, such as open roses or gardenias, in crystal containers with votive candles. Sprinkle rose petals on the cake table and walkways. Have the toss bouquet double as a cake top. Decorate goblets and cake knives with flowers. Use a cake plate with a mound of flowers on it as a centerpiece. Use roses to make a dome at the top of a glass bowl filled with pretty rocks, and place a wreath around the bowl to highlight it. Toss rose petals instead of rice as the bride and groom leave.
