Blush and Cream Unboxing, Prep, and Design!

[@cherylvoelker5708]

This was so, so helpful. What does it mean that I am watching floral design videos at 4 in the morning when the wedding is not for 9 months.🤣

[@FlowerMoxie]

Ha! It means you have wedding brain. Welcome. There's cake, hugs, and acceptance here. 🤣

[@annajakab6572]

You are literally saving my wedding (and budget). Soooo grateful people like you guys exist!

[@FlowerMoxie]

I'm so glad you found our lovin' arms!!!

[@elizabethtilton6063]

i might be becoming obsessed with these floral videos. So pretty!!!

[@FlowerMoxie]

So happy to have you here with us!

[@doglover427]

I keep coming back to these videos as my wedding date creeps closer. I can't wait to get my flowers in my hands and create with them. ❤ Until then, I'll keep watching and planning.

[@FlowerMoxie]

We love that! Practice makes perfect!

[@DandelionDreamer24]

Love the video, Thank you also I love that you used zip ties! It had dawned on me to use them but wasn't sure if it would harm in anyway but certainly seems much easier then the tape.

[@FlowerMoxie]

Yes, they're super easy to use! When working with some softer stems like anemones, tulips or ranunculus, using a rubberband or a pipe cleaner works great too!

[@DandelionDreamer24]

@@FlowerMoxie ohh I hadn't ever thought of using a pipe cleaner! That's brilliant Thank you! I Love Your videos and site btw so incredibly helpful with a sweet fun energy 💗

[@moisesmontes6291]

Beautiful! Do you have any videos with the Dusty Rose and Cream or Peaches and Cream collection? I'm eyeing both for my wedding and can't decide!! I want to see them video action lol

[@FlowerMoxie]

We don't have those specifically, but we do have a few tutorials out with similar color stories! Check out our Boho Centerpiece and Spiral Bridal Bouquet Videos!

[@yleme0303]

What size did you unbox? Medium or large? Your videos are great

[@FlowerMoxie]

If memory serves, it was the medium. However, be sure to order the size closest to your floral needs!

[@mariajaramillo1667]

How do you wire flowers? I feel I’m going to brake them😬😬

[@FlowerMoxie]

You shouldn't have to wire blooms, unless it's a specialty flower that is prone to curving and bending under their own weight like Ranunculus. Flowers do best with less handling so you don't need to wire things all willy nilly. =) XXXX, Amy

[@luper.9980]

You mentioned guard petals can be used for flower girl basket how do you keep them alive for 4 days?

[@FlowerMoxie]

You definitely can! Take the loose petals that you've collected and place them in a small plastic trash bag. Mist the inside of the bag and petals with water and then loosely tie up the bag and place in your refrigerator set at it's warmest setting. Your petals will still look great for the big day!

[@luper.9980]

@@FlowerMoxie Thank you!!😃

[@mariajaramillo1667]

How far in advance would you make the bouquet if the wedding is on a Sunday?

[@FlowerMoxie]

I prefer to make my bridal bouquets the day before so the flowers have time to open to their full capacity. Once they are crowded together they don't really open much. =)

[@lyndaborden1101]

I love your top (the first one) Do you know where you got it? Great flower prep info too!

[@FlowerMoxie]

Thank you! The top is Alex Marie and I got it from Dillards. All her stuff is great because you can wash it and it doesn't shrink or wrinkle. =)

[@claudettegross3792]

Where do you order the flowers from? Is there a wholesaler you recommend? Thank you

[@mortviolette284]

You’d order them from her online shop, Flower Moxie.

[@FlowerMoxie]

Visit our site! We sell flowers to DIY brides and new florists.

[@claudinescrivanich8825]

How do you transport the centerpieces? Do you store them in water ahead of time? I’m worried the water will spill out of the vases when we bring the centerpieces to the venue.

[@FlowerMoxie]

Watch our transportation video for some tips! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5fJe5KDaK2rrtk. You can also pour out some of the water before you transport your arrangements to prevent spilling, just be sure to bring a watering can and refill the vases with water when you get to the venue! You want to make sure the flowers still have hydration!

[@murphydonovan8227]

Did you fill the center piece with water?

[@FlowerMoxie]

Absolutely! When using chicken wire you can fill the vase up to the top with water to ensure that all stems are drinking and staying hydrated! If using floral foam, we like to have a small reservoir of water in the bottom of the vase to make sure that the foam is staying saturated.

[@remij9592]

I salute you too!

[@FlowerMoxie]

Thank you, Remi!

[@dawno9007]

What is a good flower to use if I want to have long (15+ inches all around) pieces branching out horizontally at the base? Creating a 'canopy' like effect over the table? (Using tall vases btw). Thank you in advance. And your videos are awesome.

[@FlowerMoxie]

Thanks so much! You'll definitely want to work with a longer stemmed flower- roses, delphinium and snapdragons have longer stems that would give you som length. I find using greenery like Italian Ruscus and Leatherleaf fern really help to give a "canopy" look too. Italian ruscus can be between 2-3 ft long at times, so it's a great greenery to use!

[@dawno9007]

@@FlowerMoxie Thank you thank you thank you! Im sure you are extremely busy so thank you for answering my question!

[@xoalisadesigns9661]

When you say you put flowers in the refrigerator are you referring to a special floral one?

[@FlowerMoxie]

Nope! You can use a regular refrigerator for this! Since most of our DIY Brides don't have access to a professional floral cooler, a fridge at home will work! Just be sure to raise the temp in your fridge to it's highest setting and wrap up any fruits, like apples.

[@coolchicks57]

Should my fridge be at the coolest setting or warmest setting ?

[@FlowerMoxie]

You'll want to have your fridge set to it's warmest setting. This will ensure that none of your blooms freeze!

[@katyb2793]

What is the diameter of the compote?

[@FlowerMoxie]

That's our modern compote! Approx 6" and you can find it here: flowermoxiesupply.com/products/modern-white-plastic-compote

[@katyb2793]

@@FlowerMoxie ah thank you!!

[@hopeinchrist3515]

Is it a bad idea to use the little stems of greenery as fillers? ( the ones you stripped off)

[@FlowerMoxie]

If they're good, those little stems of greenery would be a great filler for a bud vase or tucked into a smaller vase or into foam at the bottom of a compote! I like to keep a little vase with water and place any sprigs of greenery or buds I want to save and then use them later in my designs!

[@hopeinchrist3515]
