The
stems are cut fourteen inches long. (You may need to
wire the carnations if the stems are too weak.
Another hint when dealing with carnations; gently
open the petals by rolling the flower in the palm of
your hand.
1. Use twenty four
carnations.
2. Fill the vases with fresh water.
3.
Due to the size of the arrangement, style each vase
separately.
4. surround each carnation stem with
three lush, thirteen inch stem baby s breath and
place each cluster in a vase. You can determine how
full the arrangement will be fatter filling two to
three vases. If it seems too skimpy add more baby s
breath and repeat with all the vases. It is
difficult to give exact quantities because the
fullness and quality of the flowers vary.
5. Place
the glass disc in the center of the Floral Design
and add the Floral seven after the vase has been
placed in its final location.
6. We have surrounded
the arrangement with bridal tulle for a romantic,
cloudlike effect. This looks especially beautiful as
a centerpiece for the bridal table. 7. The completed
arrangement stands about twenty- four inches tall.
If you desire a smaller arrangement, cut the stems
shorter.

To accent a wedding theme of nostalgia, we
have designed a Victorian arrangement featuring:
dried mini flame roses, natural preserved baby s
breath, dried pink heather and preserved leather
leaf fern.
I. Cut the flower stems at
five inches.
2. Fill the Floral Design
vases with white grits
3. Surround the rose stem
with two stems of baby s breath and heather and
place in every other vase. Fill the remaining vases
with the baby s breath and heather. Add the leather
fern to the lower tier of vases using one or
two stems per vase depending on the fullness of the
fern.
4. Place the glass disc
in the center of the Floral Design.
5. Use
a wedding cake topper
as the centerpiece and place on the glass disc. |

The elegant look of a fresh arrangement.
1. Clip the stems at ten
inches,
2. Using a funnel for
convenience, fill the vases with salt (add rice in
humid climates to prevent the salt from compacting).
3. Place the glass disc in
the center of the Floral Design and add the Floral
Seven.
4. Arrange the flowers using
one spider mum for every two camellias.
5. Repeat until all the vases
are filled. |

The simplicity of chips and dip becomes a striking
centerpiece when presented in the Floral Design. We
have combined fresh fuchsia colored sweet Williams,
ivory spider mains and fresh, emerald colored
parsley! The chips are large ruffle style potato
chips and the dip is a classic sour cream and onion
dip.1. Cut the flower stems to match the longest
overall length of parsley stem. This usually does
not exceed six to seven inches.
2. Fill the vases on
the Floral Design with fresh water.
3. Fill each
vase with a cluster of parsley and alternate one of
each flower stem in every third vase until they are
evenly distributed.
4. Place the arrangement at
the desired location.
5. Add the glass disc to the
center of the Floral Design.
6. Center a large glass chip
and dip bowl which has already been filled with
chips and dip.
7. Garnish the dip with a
large sprig of parsley and a stem of sweet William. |
