Thank you! We appreciate it!

Thank you, we hope to make people giggle as the subject matter isn't flashy! I really loved the colors, too....the video had a filter on it which made the burgs appear more red, but you can see a photographed example on our site: flowermoxie.com/pages/marsala-and-rose-moodboard Scroll down and click on 'A La Cart'.

Thank you for your kind comment!

Interesting technique! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your kind comment and encouragement!

Thank you so much 😊

Ha! I'm so glad to have you, Witchy! I knew we could be real friends when I saw your handle. XOXO, Amy

Ah, it's Astrantia. We sold it in the past, but then I pulled it because it's pretty sensitive and dies easily in transit. Even when I get it direct from wholesale it's hit and miss and tends to have a short vase life. So glad you found us!

Nope, just provide a vase for hydration and reminder her to pop it back in the vase when she's not using it so it will look its best throughout the entire event!

Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad it helped! So the fridge....I have mixed feelings because I've seen some fridges on the fritz freeze blooms because they were faulty. For the most part, popping bouquets in a cooler is unnecessary unless it's hot as balls outside and you're working with a bunch of delicates. In Oklahoma, the temps can soar above 100' in July and August, and even inside in the a/c, I feel my more delicate flowers don't last as long. So during hot months, I keep them in the fridge so they last longer. Any other time I wouldn't worry about it, they'll hold up fine. You can always get Crowning Glory Spray to keep'em fresher longer.

Great question, Tracy! I just tie the ribbon around the point of intersection because if you wrap it the entire way down it could break the stems and would definitely shift your flowers. That's another reason why I like to cut my stems short is I don't want them seen, and a bouquet looks the best when it's tilted forwards....short stems make this easier for the bride! XO, Amy

Thank you so much! After making the bouquet I like to take a small cylinder vase and have just enough water in it that when I place the bouquet inside the vase the bottom of the stems are slightly submerged. When handing it to the bride the day of the wedding I'll usually dry off the bottom of the stems before handing it off- to make sure nothing gets on the brides gown!

That can get dicey because I've seen faulty fridges get too cold and freeze some blooms. I've done it in a pinch because it was hot as balls outside, but it's best to just keep it in a cool room away from sunlight. I talk more about this on our site and have a video about it. =)

A K You can pre-cut everything and prepare it 2 days before so the flowers that need to bloom do so. Make it the day before, wrap it with floral tape and put it back in the fresh water and in a fresh/no heat area. The day of, keep it in water until you need it and then wrap it with ribbon.

Absolutely! If you're looking for another silvery/sage green color try Olive branch. It works really great in bouquets and it's foliage is gorgeous! We also love Italian and Israeli ruscus because they are super hardy and have a lovely dark green foliage!

Like prepping the flowers? Yes, we have a few of those! We also have a few more bouquet videos.

Thank you for your kind words, we have tons! flowermoxie.com/pages/centerpiece-tutorial

No, I don't find cut stems to leak or stain.....except possibly artificially dyed flowers (which are not super common in the wedding floral world). Personally, I like to cut my stems pretty short so the bouquet is lighter and easier to handle.

Thank you for the request! Would you mind giving me a link to show me what you're talking about so I know for sure what you need??? Thank you!

@@FlowerMoxie For sure! Here's an example I found on Pinterest bellameribbonco.com/bouquet-bundles/bouquet-bundle

If you're repurposing a bouquet as a centerpiece, simply make sure that the stems are cut short enough that the bouquet sits inside the vase. If you're looking to create an arrangement that like this in a shallow vase, use chicken wire or floral foam to hold your stems in place!

Of course!

You'll want to cut the stems shorter on the day of the wedding right before you tie on your ribbon!

We sell them! Visit our site: flowermoxie.com/

@@FlowerMoxie Thank you, so much. I never knew how or where to buy flowers and how to create a bouquet.

You probably just need to make a few tweaks. Why don't you try building in a small chicken wire egg? This will hold space between the stems and allow more control. It might just be the method I'm teaching here isn't a good fit for you RIGHT NOW, but try using a chicken wire or bouquet egg, or try building in the spiral method! XOXOX, Ames

Don't fret, I always make my bouquets the day before, cut them, and place them in fresh clean water. No weird additives. For bouts, I pop them in a tubberware with a damp paper towel on the bottom and keep them in the fridge until it's go-time. Watch our Hydration 101 video.

Hello Patricia, thank you! At around 16:05 I talked about how I prefer to cut the stems pretty dang short so brides can easily handle the bouquet, but because I was going to use the flowers in another tutorial I didn't cut them. =) I find when doing organic bouquets I can't wrap the stems all the way down because they are so flared out, so I cut'em short.

I like to use clear 11'' zip ties!

We recommend getting your flowers at least 3 days before the wedding, so for a Saturday wedding you would want to get your flowers on Wednesday. This is enough time for you to process your flowers and then start designing to have everything done before the wedding day. Roses tend to be hardier than some other stems, so if for scheduling and logistical reasons, you needed to get them on Tuesday it would be possible. You would need to make sure to continue to give them fresh water and keep then in a cool area away from bright direct sun to make sure they don't open or fade too quickly.

Makes sense, thank you!

Absolutely! We used sprigs of Leather leaf fern, seeded and baby eucalyptus and sprigs of nagi and Israeli ruscus, 5-6 Quicksand roses, 4-6 burgundy carnations, 4-6 burgundy scabiosa and 3-4 dusty pink astrantia!

Thank you so much

No worries, we got you! This is a good rule of thumb to keep in mind when creating a recipe for a bridal bouquet like this one: 10-15 stems filler/volume flowers 7-10 stems accent flowers 1/3-1/2 bunch texture flowers 1/2 bunch greenery total This will ensure that you have enough flowers to create a stunning bouquet!

A bouquet that has a more organic shape rather than a tight, rounded structured one.

@@FlowerMoxie thank you

Ha, I didn't realize that, but you're right! Honestly, I hate shipping them because they are so sensitive they give my customers grief. So I probably avoid them in videos to avoid promoting their fussy arse. 🤣

Hi Marta, the good news is there are many techniques and ways to build a bouquet. Also good news, you can pick the technique that works best for you!
