Don't know if anyone has read any of my past posts, but the jist of my story is I had a floral concept designed and now I need to change it. My colors are periwinkle and silver. I want to use silk flowers (and I'm making the bouqets, bouteniers and cortsages) and I'm getting married outside at a gazebo so I need to find flowers that I can get in a garland as well as tie into the bouqets and bouteniers/cortsages, etc. I want simple but beautiful. Any suggestions????
Floral garlands, bouqets, and bouteniers/cortsages (sorry for the spelling)?
Since you're using silks, you can wire them without worries of them wilting or breaking. The wiring can help attach and blend them into swags, bouquets and garlands.
NOW is the time to experiment; if you're not terribly familiar with floral arranging, go to the library and borrow some books on the subject. Then, start practicing!
I would recommend going to a craft store or similar, and look at the various flowers they have. Off the top of my head, the only periwinkle flowers that come to mind are straw daisies and bachelor's buttons. White is easy; you can use anything from baby's breath to roses....
Reply:I put a link to save-on-crafts in the sources. You are best to order these so you can get all of them the same and at a reasonable price. You could get the greenery garland and attach the flowers to them yourself or buy the garlands already assembled. I think the price will come out about the same. Just remember to order plenty. Better to have too much than not enough and you can always re-sell on eBay after the big day. congratulations %26amp; good luck!
