It would look sad if it wasn't in a cooler. You can green it out the day before and maybe add flowers if it's in a cold garage, but if it's hot outside then stick with popping in the flowers the day of. Foam just doesn't keep them hydrated enough in the heat for long periods.

We have used Agrawool and Oshun Pouches before! I like using Oshun Pouches because they have a covering over the substrate inside the pouch which helps with water retention. When using either of these methods, you will definitely want to create the arch on the day of and potentially a couple of hours before the ceremony to maintain the integrity of the flowers.

Here ya go cutie! amzn.to/3oEqE38

I'm a HUGE FAN of greening out in advance! It's not hard, but it does take way more time, I can backfill with my blooms pretty quickly and I like to do it on the arch so I can see my dispersement. You can green-out the day before, just re-wet the cage the day of with a hose or kitchen sink sprayer. If you want to add the blooms the day of and not on site, that's fine, too. Just take a bucket of some extras because it's easy to snap one or need to fill in some gaps. XXXX, Amy

@@FlowerMoxie thanks so much!

@@FlowerMoxieyour video is so beautifully explained. How can i assemble the flowers if i am taking 2 different size triangles and keeping them side by side. Also, what’s the white backdrop that’s behind the Triangle stand?

Hello Kirsten, yes, the foam is always pre-soaked! I typically put down towels when I'm building on-site because they will leak a little when you're inserting the blooms. Personally, if you don't want to deal with foam, then I would skip the cages altogether and just make a cluster of floral chicken wire. Hardy flowers will have no problem holding up for several hours, especially if it's not hot and outdoors.

@@FlowerMoxie that is great advice! Thanks for the quick reply too! I’m a newly licensed florist and I’ve been watching your videos nonstop to learn tips and tricks. You should see my notes on my phone, nothing but yalls advice and tips from all the videos!!

@@kirstenverdin5248 Oh that makes my day!!!!

I love collabs!!! XOXO

Keep it inside in the cool temp, or if the garage is colder, keep it there. Mist it down with Crowning Glory and re-wet the bricks with a kitchen sink sprayer or hose the following day. It should hold up just fine!

May I spray the Crowning Glory on the bouquet that is already on a cage installed on the arch?

So this was done at the height of the pandy, so a lot of flowers were unavailable and we had to substitute. This would be closest to our Autumn and Terracotta package. When it comes to 'ceremony flowers' it means you can create 2 cages (for an arch) or 2 large arrangements in an urn. The recipe stays the same regardless of either application. I keep the ceremony flowers kinda simple for cost purposes and to allow the customer to add on their favorite element to make it specific to their design. Does that make sense?

It was around 6.5-7 feet tall. If you have a chop saw, drill, and wood stain, you could definitely tackle building this yourself!
