Just want to say thank you for these videos. I really appreciate you guys!

[@FlowerMoxie]

So glad it helped!!!

[@carolc1794]

I love the interesting shape and how it just flows naturally 💗

[@FlowerMoxie]

Thank you for your kind comment, Carol! My personal taste is a soft, organic vibe. I like the flowers to have some breathing room so the varieties and the textures can be noticed. When I was a new florist I would pack in the flowers really tightly and not only did it look less interesting, I used way more product.

[@randomnothingnis]

Those scabiosa are incredible.

[@FlowerMoxie]

I know, I love a good Scoop Scabiosa!

[@CourtneyHanaway]

I love watching your videos! I feel like I have learned so much. Thank you!

[@rhondaburgess7512]

As always thank you so much for the instructions and beautiful design. The challenge I'm having is to where to buy the greenery in smaller quantities just to practice with first.

[@FlowerMoxie]

I always have great luck at Wholefood or Trader Joes, if that's not available get your snips out and go ditch-diving!!!! lolllll

[@rhondaburgess7512]

@@FlowerMoxie That’s exactly what I thought about doing, and again thanks for your quick response. I’m off to an adventure

[@katyb2793]

How does this kind of arrangement with chicken wire transport? Do you find the flowers move around or fall out much? Or are they packed in enough they don't move? I REALLY like this style of centrepiece. I think it's my favourite! It's feminine, delicate and timeless, I LOVE it!

[@FlowerMoxie]

Thank you so much! Chicken wire arrangements tend to hold up pretty well in transport! The chicken wire creates a structure inside the vase and as you continue to add stems into the vase, the stems and chicken wire will lock in together. Just be sure to secure your chicken wire into your vessel with waterproof floral tape to ensure your mechanics stay put!

[@katyb2793]

Hi Amy!! I haven't finished watching the video yet but I had to pause and write this. At around 10:07 you said, at this point you are looking for holes and opportunities. You're welcome ;p I guess I'm missing the captions. Also, thanks for a wonderful tutorial. I always ❤️ your videos.

[@Zeeues]

And you said it again at around 12:00 ish. Chuckles.

Your videos are so helpful! Getting excited to my wedding with flower moxie. What size cup are you using here? Do you recommend a certain height to do something similar?

[@FlowerMoxie]

I'm so glad you found our lovin arms! I'm using what I consider a juice cup or low tumbler, it has about a 3.5 opening and about 4 inches tall. Think mason jar size, you use half the product you would in a 5-6'' bowl or compote.

[@hannahtesch1629]

I love this look! Would you be able to link the bowl you used from Target? I can’t find it on their website

[@FlowerMoxie]

Thank you so much! We purchased this bowl a couple years ago and it looks like Target doesn't sell it anymore (noooo!). But you can find something similar! Look for a low shallow cereal bowl or pasta bowl to achieve a similar look. They often come in pretty ceramic finishes!

[@divinelyblessedkb]

When doing a floral arrangement with chicken wire how do you keep the flowers well nourished or watered especially if it's an online order and will be shipped? I really love your channel and I am also new, so please forgive me in advance for asking so many questions! I am truly excited about my path of becoming a florist! Thanks again! 😊

[@FlowerMoxie]

Chicken wire in the vase is the best mechanics to use because it doesn't clog up a stem the way wet floral foam does! Basically, you will wad up a ball of chicken wire, fill the vase with water, place a piece of waterproof floral tape over the top, and design your little heart out! Flowers are shipped to most florists, and getting them shipped SWA Cargo instead of FedEx is best, but either way, the flowers will do just fine. Remember, for event florals your goal is for them to look baller at the event, not to make them last 1.5 weeks....flowers look the best 1-2 days before they start going south. So glad my videos help you!

[@divinelyblessedkb]

@@FlowerMoxie You are so awesome for sharing the additional information! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 😊✨🙌

[@Zennie371]

Why didn’t you turn the bowl to the other side? Just wondering? Thank you for sharing. ❤🎉🎉

[@FlowerMoxie]

We tried to show the arrangement from all angles! Working on a turnable (lazy susan) is so helpful when arranging so you can turn the arrangement and see all the sides easily! Was there a section that you didn't see?

[@stacydoak5082]

Do you think I should use chicken wire in my lomey bowl I purchsed from flower moxie for the ceremony flowers?

[@FlowerMoxie]

The lomey bowl will be a little too shallow to use chicken wire. Using floral foam or an oshun pouch would be the best option!

[@brittanyescamilla8401]

Beautiful 😍 How much would you charge as a florist for an arrangement like this?

[@FlowerMoxie]

To be honest, I feel out of the game since I'm not a full-time florist anymore, but I think $75-125 would be a typical range. The price of blooms have really shot up, so I'm thinking that would be reflected in today's pricing. It's the ranunculus and lisianthus that really increase the price because those guys run about $2.5 per stem at cost.

[@brittanyescamilla8401]

@@FlowerMoxie thank you!! I'm just starting out as a new florist, I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Your website and videos have been very helpful!

[@tatiana3490]

What size bowl would you recommend for these types of arrangements?

[@FlowerMoxie]

I like my compotes or bowls to run about 5-6'' in diameter! It doesn't really matter the height (unless it's super tall), but the mouth of the vessel really impacts the amount of product you need. For instance, using a vase that has a 7-9'' opening doubles my recipes.

[@tatiana3490]

@Flower Moxie Thank you so, so much! I can't wait to start designing!

[@katietalksUH]

beautiful! what size is the bowl? Looking for bowls now and they always seem so small!

[@FlowerMoxie]

It was a normal serving bowl, so the opening was around 5-6'' which is my favorite vase size. XXXX, Amy

[@dawno9007]

How do you work with eucalyptus without your fingers getting full of sap? I tried it for the first time and I couldn't touch one thing after touching it. Then I couldn't get it off my fingers no matter how much I washed my hands. Thank you.

[@FlowerMoxie]

Eucalyptus sap can stickkkk. I like to wear either gardening/nitrile gloves or you can use a leaf/thorn stripper to help you out!

[@katyb2793]

I would rub on oil or even hand cream, then wash off with soap to get the sap off (hopefully). Always fight oil with oil! Imagine cute koala bears munching on the leaves to ease frustration 😁🐨
