This is so gorgeous 😍 and you explained slow enough and thoroughly. Thank you!

[@nancysonett5935]

Wonderful and clear cut video....thankyou! Quick question... how do you keep the eucalyptus garland from shriveling before the event. I was going to make mine two days before the event and am just using eucalyptus garland, no flowers.

[@marysmith861]

I wish you could have added a picture of the garlands at the venue. Lovely.

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I definitely have a few. Maybe I’ll add some in another video. I still have to put up the video of me making the arbor piece for this wedding

[@marnief662]

How much would something like this cost ?

[@ybbed019]

This is so beautiful, love the results🌸

[@tenawalker-jones7097]

I tried this method and I loved it!!! Thank you so much.

[@tessievanderlaan5053]

I just started watching your videos thank you

[@pamelasmith1253]

Thank you for doing this! Looks like you are a natural and wonderful at being a florist. I noticed you were using fresh flowers, so I was wondering how long those last in the garland and how long the garland will last thanks!

[@millylopez6913]

I'm soo glad I found your video!!

[@araceliolguin9618]

So beautiful, thank you for the video. I will be trying this method for a church event.

[@lydiamatjasec7586]

Thank you great job very helpful

[@corrinatucker8879]

I’m a right handed florist and I can’t work the way you are with the Garland . I have to start from the left. Nice work .

[@barbaraturner9343]

Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Thanks for watching! ❤

[@Rheabird3]

Great vid! Thank you for sharing 💖. Would love to have seen a clip of the beautiful garland from above. Just a tip. Much love😇💖

[@whiteorchid02]

Absolutely beautiful work you do . It’s so cool running into your video this evening as I was wanting to learn to do exactly these beautiful garlands . What a blessing . Thank you so much for sharing . I truly appreciate being able to learn this 😊

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I’m so glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for watching.

[@karendowney7994]

You’re so awesome love your videos ..

[@jeanknappik6396]

Absolutely beautiful, so happy I saw this. I am going to make garlands for my daughters wedding and was looking at the same eucalyptus...I read you can keep a damp towel over the greens and in a cool spot...my concern was the flowers...I was actually going to put on the flowers in tubes the night before and place them in the garland with the tubes hidden. The floral adhesive is a great idea...are the flowers pretty secure with the glue for transport and how do you transport to venue.

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I missed your comment! I'm sorry! I snake them carefully into long flower boxes. If you have a nice florist in the area, you might be able to snag a couple from them.

[@christinagalindo6961]

Beautiful and very helpful. I am hoping to make hoping to make 7 garlands, 6 feet I hope, first time. How many days before should I start and would I keep it fresh and would fresh and a few artificial flowers be ok to use?

[@TheKansascinqs]

Just beautiful. We are making baby's breath aisle garlands. I want them quite high. Can you please do a video on that?

[@missywamble9528]

I love this! So pretty. How long will this keep? If I make these 1 day before the event, will my flowers be okay?

[@shana7246]

These are lovely. Can I ask how you would store them so that they are still fresh for the wedding & how you transport them?

[@betsprinsloo6328]

This is just what we need. Does the glue keep the flowers fresh. Won't it go off when on the table the next day

[@laurenconradie944]

Would you follow the same method if you were hanging the garland across the room?

[@RobynSadowski]

This is an awesome tutorial video. I am trying to create something similar for my daughter's wedding to go around 3 glass cylinder floating candles. I assume it would be the same process just make it a circle around the candles?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I use the same process, make short garlands and then tie two ends together to make a wreath. You can also just lay pieces between the candles if you want a more natural and unkempt look.

[@dusty9092]

I made exactly the same center piece which you mentioned for my daughter’s wedding 5years ago. It was hard, but beautiful!

[@MilkaUSA]

Can you sent a link where did you buy your glue you used for the garland. ? And how long flowers can look fresh if they whit out water. Thank you. I am a new florist. So this information will help me. And if you don’t mind to share how much you charge per one like this garland ? Beautiful flowers. Thank you.

If only using eucalyptus for the garland, how far in advance can it be made? Thanks.

[@destevoth7821]

Also... how do you keep it hydrated if doing ahead... bathtub?

[@anabovo9921]

Hi. Beautiful garland! Do the flowers not go bad if you leave overnight? I want to make a similar garland for a baby shower and was worried about the flowers wilting if I make it the day before. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@charliebob5650]

Beautiful Garland! Do you know about how many pounds of the two eucalyptus you used for the 8’ garland? Can you show what a 1.5lb of silver dollar or Seeded eucalyptus looks like? Thankyou

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Apparently I missed your comment! I am not absolutely sure how to answer the by weight question. Greens are sold by weight, but usually in grams. I'm going to guess that a bunch of eucalyptus is between 750 - 1000 grams, but I do not know for sure. I estimate one bunch for every two feet of garland at this thickness. Four bunches for eight feet x 850ish grams?

[@لامثاء]

I like your work ❤

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Thank you!

[@Rose-MarievanVuuren]

Beautiful, how do you keep them fresh till the next day

[@momhuntt7626]

How many stems of eucalyptus did you use?

[@erikaojeda1962]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@user-sf4ng4vh3w]

How many flowers altogether did you use😊

[@karendowney7994]

Any suggestions what flowers can you use on the garland in September for fall color ? In California ? My daughter wants rust and blue and white ? I hope I hear back from you thank you ..

[@mayligthao1140]

How many stems did you use? Would love to know the stem count so I know approximately how much I need to replicate this stunning garland.

[@taylorthedoll6282]

Beautiful!! How do price something like this. If you had to make seven at 8ft long

[@TheFlowerRoom]

For me, I price based on the retail cost of the fresh products and then simply double, as this is labor intensive and my labor fee is 50%. You could also estimate the time it will take you and add an hourly rate to your retail fresh product total. Remember that your labor rate is also helping to pay for things like rent, insurance, utilities, etc. Don't short yourself.

[@marysmith861]

I love how you explain in detail. Thanks you. Btw, you look too young to have done this for twenty years.

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Flowers keep you young! My first official job at a flower shop started in 2001 when I was 19 years old.

[@harleybarley4715]

Do the flowers wilt over night

[@TheFlowerRoom]

It really depends on where they are kept. If you're storing them in a cooler or a nice cool and dark room, most flowers wouldn't have any trouble holding up. If you leave them out in a warm location, they will start to wilt. These still looked pretty good kept outside in a tent overnight after the wedding.

[@matteapavelich1560]

How long ahead of time do you suggest for having the eucalyptus out of water?

[@jessiam8286]

How long did this garland take to make? I’m a beginner but would like to do the garland day of the event

[@Ale-gk6qz]

When does the eucalyptus change from the blue tinge to the green in this video? We’d like green for our wedding

[@sophiaguerrero-ex8cj]

I wanted to know if the garland can stain the white table cover ?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I've never had a problem with eucalyptus staining, but I'm also not using varieties that are very resinous. You could potentially have that issue with certain flowers in certain colors and other greenery that I'm not using here.

[@BrendaLee-v4c]

I don't have fresh eucalyptus can you use this same method with dried?

[@EnglishCharmPaintedFurniture]

Would you be willing to share the approximate cost to a customer for an 8' garland of just the two eucalyptus, no florals? Thanks.

[@paulalima4495]

how can you make these flower garlands last without hydration ?

[@mssassi8615]

Can you please do a wall screen garland with hanging eucalyptus in between please. I want to creat a wall of eucalyptus on my living room wall but I don’t want empty space so a garland and strings full or not of eucalyptus please. And maybe an estimate of what that will cost

[@veronicalupescu3269]

How many bunches of silver dollar and seated eucalypt do you use for this ? A buch and a bunch guirland?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

I usually estimate 1 bunch of greens for every two feet and then build a little squish into my ordering in case I get a couple of small bunches.

[@veronicalupescu3269]

You're amazing. Thank you!

[@francesmoney2403]

Very Beautiful work! What was the name and type of eucalyptus that you used? I like the white seeded look that you used, not that yellow kind that looks like a weed.

[@TheFlowerRoom]

The weedy looking one is willow eucalyptus! :)

[@stellastocker9004]

How long do the flowers last if glued?

[@lisaieraci8767]

Can the garland runners be made two days in advance of the event? Is that Elmer’s glue you used?

[@solegonz762]

She used floral adhesive (.8oz rubber cement) said those that are latex sensitive should be cautious

[@cristinanicolas7392]

How do you keep the flowers and garland stay fresh before the event?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Thanks for the question! The flowers will look good for a couple of days if kept in proper refrigeration. You can use a hydration chamber if you’re using really sensitive materials. I actually went back to the venue the day after this event and most of the flowers still looked pretty good… not perfect, but pretty good. There are other sprays that some florists use as well, but I’ve tried to reduce the amount of chemicals I’m using. The glue is enough for me 😂

[@sandratuminello9697]

@@TheFlowerRoom What if I don't have a flower fridge? The wedding is in December. I live in Louisiana. Can I leave them outside/garage? Louisiana weather is very unpredictable, but it may be cool enough to leave in the garage. What do you think?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

@@sandratuminello9697 if you have air conditioning, you can keep them in an air conditioned space. The cooler the better. Under 60 degrees f but above 35 is ideal. The garage would be the next best option. Whatever the case, definitely keep them out of direct sunlight and don’t let them dry out. You can always spritz them with water and keep them under plastic trash bags, but you’ll want to make sure it’s not wet and warm enough to mold. Put the flowers on the night before or the morning of depending on time allowance/time of the event. I hope that helps!

[@sandratuminello9697]

@@TheFlowerRoom You are a huge help. Thank you so much. I will post pictures after my event.

[@ruaansteenkamp6117]

Hi, if I glue the flowers on the Thursday, and the wedding is on the Friday, will the flowers still look fresh. Don't have a cooler

[@TheFlowerRoom]

It depends a little on what kind of flowers you’re using and if you can keep it in a nice cool room overnight or not.

[@salinalozano]

Hello! Where do you get your eucalyptus from?

[@debrarichey6447]

Does the Eucalyptus get sticky on the tables?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Some varieties of eucalyptus are more sappy than others. The one I think you’d end up having trouble with is the traditional spiral eucalyptus. It’s not used often for garlands, but definitely has a higher amount of resin than the others. With these types, it comes off on my hands while I’m manipulating it, but not when it’s stationary. I hope that helps!

[@abisanflowers9108]

How pretty!! How many bundles of eucalyptus did it take to make this?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Thanks for the question! I’m using fresh eucalyptus and flowers including roses in this garland. They hold up great as long as they stay in refrigeration. You can make them a couple days in advance if needed. Thanks for watching❤️

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Oops… I answered your other question. I believe this eight foot garland took 2 1/2 bunches of eucalyptus. It’s a thin Garland. A thicker one would take more. I usually assume one full bunch for every two feet of garland.

[@abisanflowers9108]

@@TheFlowerRoom thank you so much!!! I’m loving your channel!!

[@sandratuminello5027]

@@TheFlowerRoom How many stems usually come in a bunch?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

@@sandratuminello5027 foliage like eucalyptus is not sold by the stem. They are generally sold by weight or growers bunch, so always budget a little more than you think you’ll need.

[@gloryhallelujah2855]

Help how long can these arrangment last with no watet

[@TheFlowerRoom]

If they are kept in cooler, they can go a few days. With no flowers on them and kept in a cooler, you could conceivably keep them for a couple of weeks with no trouble.

[@lorilockwood5020]

How long will the flowers last once assembled?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

If you have refrigeration to keep it in, a few days. If it's not in refrigeration, probably 24 hours if it's cool out and less if it's warm.

[@greysonstratton5073]

for an 10 foot garland how manu bunches of Eucalptus would I need?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Missed this. I estimate 1 bunch for every 2 feet and then get a little extra just in case.

[@vickiechaffin3973]

I'm looking for a more loose silver dollar look but very hard to find

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Are you trying to buy as a florist out for your own use? I might be able to give you some direction.

[@achutates18]

How soon before the wedding can you make these?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

If you have a floral cooler to keep them in, there is no reason you can’t make the garlands a week or so in advance and then as the flowers the day before.

[@cvfamily4]

Do you know how much eucalyptus you would need to make a 36' long garland? How many bunches/bundles?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Usually I order 1 bunch for every 2 feet and then a little bit extra just in case.

[@cvfamily4]

Thank you so much! That helps me a lot! @@TheFlowerRoom

[@cvfamily4]

Last question...how far in advance would you recommend making this? @@TheFlowerRoom

[@TheFlowerRoom]

@@cvfamily4 if you have refrigeration, you can make it up to a week ahead. If you’re planning on keeping it in an air conditioned room or basement, I’d say that if you mist it lightly and keep it covered loosely with plastic, you can probably get away with 36 hours or so

[@cvfamily4]

sounds good, thank you and you do beautiful work!@@TheFlowerRoom

[@tessievanderlaan5053]

Prices?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Garlands range from $25/ft to $100/ft depending on the greenery used and if and what flowers are added. I cannot remember the exact pricing on this one. Probably $50-$60/ft. You have to price according to your own costs though.

[@vanessatolan7707]

How much did that cost?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Without looking up that specific event, I'd guess somewhere between $225 - $300 per garland. Pricing depends so much on what I can buy in bulk, availability and seasonality that it changes slightly depending on the event. Thanks for the question.

[@gloryhallelujah2855]

You don't need viles for this rope for flowers

[@TheFlowerRoom]

If I were using very water hungry flowers like hydrangea, I would use tubes of some sort, but for most applications the flowers only need to last for a day once they are delivered, so I don't worry much about it. We try to use as little plastic as we can get away with.

[@faridaartiste8469]

Que peut-on faire avec des pourri

[@TheFlowerRoom]

Je pense que vous demandez ce qui peut être fait pour les garder frais. Les stocker dans une glacière aidera leur longévité et ils peuvent durer sans fleurs pendant plusieurs semaines ou avec des fleurs pendant plusieurs jours dans une glacière.

[@veronicapaz4237]

Q maltrato que tiene con las flores, muy lindo pero no me gusta como trata todo, que se dedique a otra cosa

Siempre una envidiosita q anda con una nube negra por la vida! 🙄

[@kimfinholt8781]

Can you use this same method if the garland will be hanging?

[@TheFlowerRoom]

You can, but you’ll need to be more careful to make sure your pieces overlap well do that you don’t end up with any gaps where the garland bends.
