Thank you for this fabulous video! What is the risk/damage of 'too deep' a hydration vessel (so long as the lower head is not submerged, of course)? I've seen some growers recommend that flowers be rested up to their necks – but maybe that is only when you first cut it from the field/garden? Or your experience differs?
Do you chill them again after processing?
And where exactly is the printable
Thank you for being real! And realistic. I love that you have 12 clients and how you take care of them.
I like your voice ❤
This is great! Do you put these in a cooler in the first hour when the flowers rehydrate or keep out in room temp? And how many days do you recommend we rehydrate & keep in cooler before the day of event?
I live in Saudi Arabia flower shop arrangement bouquet
very well taught
Thanks. That was awesome. Very helpful❤please come and help at my daughter's wedding😁
May I email you for questions. Having a wedding event for my son in july
Love your lightness and the joy mood in this video ❤
This was an excellent tutorial and explanation about how to process flowers. I’ve been a professional designer my entire life and it does my heart good to see such excellent instruction❤
Everything you were saying got a yes! from me. It can be hard to teach lay people all the intricacies of the process of processing flowers in clear terms. Again, well done!
🌸👏🏻🌸
This may have already been asked, but did you put the ranunculus in separate vases just because they are so delicate?
this was amazing loved the commentary
Wow – what is that magnificent dark purple ranunculus?!!
This video is amazing! Thanks for all these tips. If I get spray roses on Thursday for an event on Saturday – (1) after cutting them and putting them in a bucket, It is fine to leave them in my kitchen countertop?
(2) I plan to do the arrangement Friday and put them in the fridge once done- is this ok?
Lastly, since I’m using floral foam, is watering the foam Friday when I do the arrangements is sufficient or should I water it again Saturday (the day of the event) before transport?
Thank you in advance for your help!
I think you missed your calling as a stand up comedian!! ❤
Is it OK to put two bunches of roses in one bucket? Will they open? You mentioned spray roses. Can I crowd spray roses? Cant wait for more of your new video.
❤❤❤ beutyfull falwar and you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
are the stems supposed to touch the end of the vase? if i leave it floating is it ok or too much pressure on the flowers?
Please could you do a video on flower recipes I.e. using all these prepped flowers how you would organise for bridal and bridesmaids bouquets and boutonnières please
I will say that this video is my favorite to just listen to in the background at work, and I’ve got no clue why. I’ve watched this video so many times.😂😂
Omg i love you.
I LOVE that you said "you will be disappointed on the onset." I always feel this way (when I pick up from the market), but everything turns out alright. ❤
What temp is the water, my daughter has me doing it.. hydrangeas.. help please. Need to keep 2 days.
What do I add to the water so they don't die too soon in the vase?
Thanks for your video. Only thing not mentioned was do you need flower food in the water of each vessel?
i just got my flowers.. can i keep in the fridge for 3 days? we are tuesday wedding is saturday
First of all, thank you for all of this valuable information your videos and tutorials are true lifelines for newbie florists like me looking to jump start their business in the wedding industry. Is it alright if i receive flowers on a Friday morning for a Sunday wedding or is that not enough time for the flowers (particularly roses) to open up? Help!
So, I've jumped in with both feet.
I've got 20 years experience as a retail sales person in a garden center setting.
I've set up a location for a florist, aligned myself with a network, and have discovered my target market. … I just appreciate the video and realize the level of knowledge I lack starting out, but I am excited to bloom. Thank you! I'm subscribed! 😊
could you tell me the name/color of the darkest flower shown there>? Very helpful tutorial! I am planning to order for my wedding soon! thanks!
On your supply list on the website, it says to pick up floral food. When do I add the floral food?
at 9:22 , was the joke that you put on gloves for the spray roses ?? lol
What gloves do you use to remove leaves?
Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom to better prepare of handling, processing and preparing for design. Great job 🙏presenting concepts and concerns.
Thanks for the tutorial
Good morning! Please help…I am purchasing my flowers directly from a wholesaler. I bring them home 2-3 days prior to my event. I condition then and do everything I am supposed to do. My problem is, my flowers are drooping before I can use them! Today, the snapdragons I got on Thursday are droopy and wilted and my event is not until tomorrow! Please help!!
Does the flower prep go the same for any store-bought/diy flowers?
Also, I am traveling 5 hours to my wedding, should I prep my bouquets to be put sitting out in water or do they need to go in the fridge the day before I travel?
Lastly, I'm assuming I need to get a bucket of water for flowers for when I arrive at my destination or is keeping them in a damp towel storage box okay?
Thank you in advance! Appreciate your videos!
Do you put anything in the water for the hydrating? 18:15
haha "calm down I said horrors"
Im not finished with the video, but I had to say I love your humor and style. Firm, no sh*t with a heavy dash of comedy. Thank you.
Marvellous, thanks
Thank you so much for teaching us so much about flowers. I've found your videos and website resources really helpful! 🙂
Just out of curiosity, what items for a wedding (bridal bouquet, centrepieces, boutonnieres, etc) can you create with that amount of flowers? I will be staying at a hotel 4 days before my wedding – there I will do all the prep work and flower arrangements, so I am asking just to have a rough idea of how much space I will need for one of your 'large package' of flowers 🙂
Thank you, and keep doing these amazing tutorials!
Looking through your DIY packages I literally teared up from relief. Might have been a little stressed haha, but not anymore! Your work is stunning, and I can't wait to start making my wedding flowers for our April wedding 😍
What size trash cans?
Hi. Just wondering, if its for our daily flower bouquet orders, how long do we need to prep like this? Or is it okay to store it on our flower chiller and just prep it right before we make the bouquet arrangements?
Funny I just said I love your videos and your tone of voice!!😂 You rock at what you do!!!!
Hi! Thank you for the video. I learned a lot from it. So easy to understand!!
I bought flowers to make some bouquets for my friends’ graduation and realised I made a few mistakes. The flowers started to wilt/sad looking (?) after two days in water.
I want to ask, what is the optimum days for me to buy the flowers before arrangement?
Once i designed them, how long and how to store the bouquets?
Thank you so much! You save my life.
This is a SUPER helpful video! I have a few quick questions:
1, Would you say to have flowers delivered about 3 days before the wedding?
2, It looked like you didn't really strip any leaves off of the greenery before putting them in water. Is that right? Or do you strip greenery a certain amount as well to keep leaves out of water?
3, (This is the difficult question) What would you recommend if I want to do pictures and a small reception in one location (Utah) and then travel for a full blown ceremony, dinner, and large reception about 8 hours away (Colorado) two days later? Would that require me to do all my flowers twice, or would bouquets and the reception decorations last that long?
