DIY Wedding Ceremony Flowers
How to keep your flowers fresh
Are you planning DIY wedding ceremony flowers?
You can save lots of money by doing your own flowers with or without help from your friends and
relatives. But take care to look after your fresh flowers properly especially before you
start to arrange your wedding reception flowers.
Caring for Fresh Wedding Flowers
-
First make sure you take the morning or afternoon off so you are at home
when your fresh wedding flowers are delivered.
It's critical to get them into water straightaway as the last thing you want is to come home
to a bucketful of limp, drooping blooms!
-
Before your gorgeous flowers arrive, make sure you have several buckets ready.
Clean and scrub your buckets with bleach to remove any trace of bacteria which could harm
your flowers and accelerate the natural ageing process.
-
Make sure you cut your flowers UNDER water so that no air bubbles can travel up the stem
and cause your flowers to keel over.
-
Before arranging, use a product like Quick Dip to dip your flower roots and once your flowers
are designed and ready, make sure you keep them fresh by applying a spray like Finishing
Touch.
DIY brides can have lots of fun using the excellent wedding supply products that are available on the market
today.
Take a look at the Oasis website which has colorful foam in all shapes and sizes plus colored
sand to put in glass jar/flower arrangements and funky metallic wire to wrap flower stems together.
