Hi Georgie, l call them Lavahteeera, may be l am also wrong, l miss doing weddings, like you in 30 years l made hundreds and hundreds of weddings, but back then every single flower was wired and taped. A bridal bouquet used to take hours of work. l do like very much the more natural look of wedding flowers these days. l also love your buttonholes, in my days they wore just one flower, rose or carnations,a bit of gyp, and a couple of leaves, that was all. l would love to join one of your classes, but l doubt very much if l will ever do a wedding again. Meanwhile, my garden is progressing, if l hear you mentioning a new flower l chase then all over the country for either a plant or seeds. Best wishes Mario from Melbourne.

Fifty years ago we were poor graduate students. My husband often gave me potted African Violets as gifts. So many, that when it came time to plan our wedding I was able to take enough cuttings to grow, under lights, a small pot of African violets for each of the 100 guests. We used them as the table centerpieces surrounding a candle. The bridesmaids carried baskets that we filled with flowers. Would I do my own flowers again? Absolutely, maybe without the grow lights !

How lovely x

Thank you for offering sensible wedding counsel. Wedding hysteria is dreadful for everyone except the commercial wedding industry, making it difficult for the wedding to be a celebration. Having been married.50 years, I know that the cost of the wedding has little to do with the success of a marriage.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Totally agree x

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

Have you ever considered growing thornless roses for cut flowers, and if not why not?

[@theflowerfarmer]

Never even crossed my mind to research such a thing! I'm always interested in fab rose heads ...

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

@@theflowerfarmer I read that the thornless Oceana Hybrid Tea Rose is popular for spring weddings and Easter gatherings. That's all I know. I have been considering in investing is a rose or two, but only if they are thornless and are a good cut flower.

[@victoriakreative]

Interesting 🧐 something to definitely look into.

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

@@victoriakreative I'd buy it, but I can't find a location that sells it in Canada.

[@Chips_not_fries]

how long did it take to cut 15 buckets?

[@theflowerfarmer]

50 stems a bucket, 400 stems an hour x

[@Chips_not_fries]

@@theflowerfarmer wow, that's some going, I'll have to get my skates on!

[@dianequist835]

I am thrilled the wedding industry has gone toward these type of bouquets. I much prefer natural looking. As a florist, I didn't like those oasis filled bouquet holders.

[@theflowerfarmer]

oasis filled bouquet holders have to have been the nadir of wedding flowers plasticity x

In America the farther of the Bride puts a penny in her shoe for prosperity.

[@theflowerfarmer]

that's a lovely thing - it happens too in this country - I remember a friend getting married and there were family heirloom ancient coins which were taped into her shoes for the ceremony but she had to give them back afterwards for the next family member to be married with xxx
