If you know what you're doing they can be beautiful, if you don't...<BR/><BR/>One of my close friend's mom was like this. I volunteered to do the flowers for the wedding for free as my gift to the couple. Her mom didn't want to give up that much control to me--have me choose the flowers, etc. so she ordered online and asked me to arrange them.<BR/><BR/>She ordered 1,000 roses for a May wedding here in AZ they arrived via Fed Ex and sat on the terminal at Sky Harbor for a while. They arrived without any packaging to keep them cool or alive. The roses literally fell apart as I picked them up out of the boxes.<BR/><BR/>We lost 80% of the roses. The bride's bouquet was supplemented with emergency flowers we had to get at Wal-Mart because it was the only store open.<BR/><BR/>It's a lot of trouble and most florists will work with you and your budget.Butterfly Petalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07108087625022175279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148646907910311590.post-42742788182252183482009-01-04T15:17:00.000-08:002009-01-04T15:17:00.000-08:00Thanks "ONE WILD NIGHT".

The oth...I couldn't have said it better myself! The other alternative to fresh bridal bouquets are silk. I design & create beautiful artificial bouquets using exceptional quality real touch flowers, they look amazing. Have a look on my website, artificialweddingbouquets.com.au. Using silk is also a good way to DIY, keep in mind a qualified florist know all the principals of floristry, & is not quite as simple as everyone thinks it is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
