      Yes, as long as you keep the floral foam well hydrated. I do not recommend hydrangea during super hot months or I'm arid climates. If your event is in a dry or hot area, use more greenery and roses or other hardy flowers for fullness.

    Bonjour! J'ai une autre question pour vous! Nous prévoyons beaucoup de fleurs au mariage (22 à 23 centre de table large et en hauteur/ 10-12 bouquets d'allée / Urnes florales (3x) / Fleurs suspendu avec cage florale sur porte, etc... Bien sûr nous voudrions prendre un peu d'avance, le mariage étant un samedi. Pensez vous que de commencer quelques bouquet en mousse florale le mercredi est réaliste? Même avec un spray de finition ? Ou il faut impérativement les commencer le jeudi? Ils ne seront pas placés au frigo car bien sûr nous n'aurons pas autant de place pour cette quantité de fleurs. Merci de tous les conseils que vous pourrez donner! 🥰🥰☀☀

    I cant fund soul roses near me. Would Quicksand work for this? Or would mondial be better? I like the off white/off pink looks. Also, if I'm getting married on a Sunday, and want to do the reflexing on the Saturday, what day should I purchase the flowers for? Do we reflex as soon as they arrive or should we let them sit and naturally open for a few days before we reflex?

    • @petalsavvy8463
      @petalsavvy8463 Рік тому

      If you want more of a blush-nude, I recommend quicksand. You also can get away with just spinning them and not have to reflex because they open nicely on their own! :) I recommend receiving and processing your flowers (remove all the leaves and thorns) on Thursday for a Sunday wedding.

    • @rebeccabahar3754
      @rebeccabahar3754 Рік тому

      @Petal Savvy thanks for the reply! Would you spin them on the Saturday or when I process them on Thursday? Also, I keep hearing that they need to be a little dehydrated/old to reflex nicely. Should I still be storing the flowers in water from Thursday-Sunday?

    • @petalsavvy8463
      @petalsavvy8463 Рік тому

      They shouldn't be old or dehydrated!!! They should be left out at room temperature, in water (make sure to remove leaves first, then cut the end of the stem at an angle, then place in water within 16-18 seconds after that cut) for a couple of days. They need to be a little open already to reflex nicely. If anything, you could remove from water maybe an hour or so before reflexing to soften the petals, but you don't want the stems to go limp, it's risky business! I posted a video on getting nice big roses, I would recommend checking that out. But as for quicksand, you will be pleasantly surprised how much they open overnight, and they will be even prettier by Saturday. Spin them as you design, select your flowers, spin, design that piece. Wash rinse repeat.

      Hi Maggie! Can you please elaborate on making a large centerpiece with small roses? Do you mean small full sized roses or do you mean spray roses (the ones with multiple tiny blooms on one stem?). Do you want roses only in a round shape, or roses with greens? For a low or a high centerpiece? I don't buy from Costco but that's because I'm a professional designer by trade and work with wholesalers. But you can definitely order through Costco. I'm not sure if they allow you to request specific varieties or if it's just by color. I can assist in some cases with getting you florals depending on what city you live in.

      That is a great question! A recent mother of the bride who followed this tutorial made 10 for her daughter's wedding, she said she spent roughly 1200 on flowers, foam and tapers, etc. And then the risers were extra. It depends on your local market or if you want to order online, though. :) if you have a local flower market you can call and ask them for a rough estimate based on the quantities (the recipe is listed in the video, multiply by how many you want to make and factor in bouquet flowers too). Or do an online floral source. We are working on establishing a way to help people source flowers as well, but it's still in the works. :)

      If you're getting married indoors you should be just fine using hydrangea :) if you would prefer to substitute, you can! There's nothing quite as large, though, so you'lldo a 1:3 swap. Examples: You can sub each hydrangea for one football mum, a stock, and an alstromeria. Or swap for a snapdragon, a cushion pom stem and a spray rose stem.

    • @petalsavvy8463
      @petalsavvy8463 Рік тому

      Great question! I think it depends on the look you would want to achieve! You could half the hydrangea and reduce roses by a third, and add more greens. How many greens you add depends on the type as the bunches are different sizes and volumes. If you wanted to mix in silver dollar eucalyptus for example, I would add one bunch of silver dollar and half a bunch of salal aka lemon leaf. If you didn't want eucalyptus, but you wanted specifically more Italian ruscus, and you halved the hydrangea and reduced roses by 6, you would need at least 15ish stems of Italian ruscus, cut in half. Israeli ruscus you would need way more!
