Peony Bridal Bouquet, in a cascading style

[@andreacortright6848]

Going through all your cascade videos, still timeless and beautiful almost a decade later!

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank you very much for viewing so many of our cascade videos, Andrea! We hope you saw the latest one that Leanne released earlier this week. If not, you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmi8hpqQe5l8rsk You are about the beautiful and timeless styles. As Leanne often says, "What's old is new" so old styles do reappear in new forms. That's one of the things that is wonderful about floral design. We are so glad you could join us and we hope to see you again soon. Wishing you a splendid week and may it be full of flowers too!

[@FlowerSchool]

Pink, black and white - fab! Fortunate for you, many flowers come in pink. Rose, peony, carnation, lily, tulip, freesia, nerine, dahlia, aster and cosmo. Have fun with the wedding!

[@FlowerSchool]

Hope this reply was helpful for you!

Peonies have a mind of their own. It sounds like you have developed a good system. The key is to bring the peonies in early, watch them closely and control the opening of blossoms with heat / sunlight and refrigeration.

Hope this reply was useful for you!

One of the most beautiful bouquets I have seen. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank you for your kind words of praise, Sprinkler Guy! We love creating beautiful bridal bouquets to share with all of you. Hope we'll see you again soon for more wedding floral design with Leanne!

[@tonigerstein9856]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!sweetpeas,ranuculas are the best.

[@FlowerSchool]

We agree, Toni! Sweet peas and ranunculus work together perfectly. So kind of you to watch our show, and we hope you will join us again very soon!

[@joannechia2925]

This pink peony bouquet looks so beautiful. But it seems quite difficult for a beginner in floral arrangement.

[@FlowerSchool]

That's a good point, Joanne, and thank you for sharing it with us! We appreciate your feedback very much, and it probably is a bit more advanced in technique. So happy you could join us for the cascading peony bridal bouquet and we hope we'll see you again soon for more wedding floral design with Leanne. Wishing you all the best and please have a lovely week!

Oasis Floral Adhesive is the only glue that should be used on fresh flowers. It can be ordered from our webs site shopping pages.

[@FlowerSchool]

Hope you enjoyed this tip about Oasis Floral Adhesive, which can be ordered through our website: www.floraldesigninstitute.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3_18

[@kristinahB143]

Lovely! 💗

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank You.......

[@adrianavp6830]

Breathtakingly beautiful; thank you for your wonderful tutorial. Could you do a tutorial making your own wreath base instead of using an oasis base in holder please?

[@FlowerSchool]

That's a brilliant idea, Adriana, and we'll add it to our list of ideas for future shows! You may be able to do something with floral netting if you don't like using floral foam. It just depends on how you would anchor things. Thanks again for watching so many of our shows, and we look forward to having you with us again very soon. All the best to you!

BEAUTIFUL

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank You......

[@JosephineTeehankee]

Love cascade

[@FlowerSchool]

Cascades are elegant and beautiful, Josephine! And you are finding so many videos in our archives all about them, which is wonderful. Thank you for enjoying wedding bouquet design and seeing what is possible. We hope you will enjoy the wedding floral design playlist that we shared on your other post. So glad you could visit us and say hello. Wishing you a most joyful week and hope everything goes well for you!

[@gloriarice2478]

Hey Leanne! What are some other ideas of greenery to adhere to the handle?

[@FlowerSchool]

That's an excellent question, Gloria! There are some different kinds of foliage that you could use for the bouquet handle. We do suggest that you practice in advance so you are comfortable with the result. Foliage that might work well include galax leaves, ti leaves, and aspidistra leaves. You could try other kinds of leaves like fatsia or salal to see if they work for you as well. Again it is important to experiment in advance so see how they dry and adhere to the bouquet holder. Thank you very much for watching our show today and we hope that you will join us again soon for more wonderful wedding floral design with Leanne. Wishing you a peaceful and lovely weekend and best wishes to you!

i really love love peonys

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank You...

[@FlowerSchool]

Any bouquet using a foam holder would not be appropriate for use as a "toss bouquet". If you toss it, the flowers will fall out. Generally, a second bouquet is made for the toss. This bouquet is smaller, lighter, hand-tied and without embellishments that could cause injury.

[@FlowerSchool]

Hope this information was useful!

[@Scabiosa61]

I love watching you work ! I have a question on the peonies,how early do you order them for opening time. I usually do at least 5 days ahead and then place them in the cooler just as they start to fluff up. If you have any secrets you can share would love to hear them!

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank you for your kind words of praise, Jaev! We hope you saw our earlier reply: peonies have a mind of their own. It sounds like you have developed a good system. The key is to bring the peonies in early, watch them closely and control the opening of blossoms with heat/sunlight and refrigeration. We look forward to seeing you again soon for more beautiful bridal floral design with Leanne. All the best to you!

[@gabinchis]

you are awesome! thanks for the video! wish you could make my bouquet!

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank you for your kind comment, Gabinchis! We love making beautiful bouquets. So glad you took time to watch our show, and we hope to see you again soon.

[@annairwin8147]

I have a question. I am making the centerpiece floral arrangement for a niece in July. She is having a black and white wedding and she wants pink for her attendants. What suggestions can you give me for flowers? Thanks so much!!

[@FlowerSchool]

That's an excellent question, Anna, and we hope you saw our earlier reply. Pink, black and white are fab! Fortunately for you, many flowers come in pink including roses, peonies, carnations, lilies, tulips, freesia, nerine, dahlias, asters and cosmos. Hope the wedding was a lot of fun! Wishing you all the best

[@jessecaketchum6621]

do you ever do a video with red flowers ? my wedding is in Oct and want to do my own flowers would love some ideas

[@FlowerSchool]

This Bridal Bouquet would be beautiful in red... Just use red peonies instead of pink.

[@ltorres7e55]

Hi I have a question is Oasis floral glue using and other glue I could use If I can not fined the Oasis glue

[@FlowerSchool]

Hello Luz! Thank you for your question, and we hope you saw our earlier reply about Oasis floral glue: Oasis Floral Adhesive is the only glue that should be used on fresh flowers. It can be ordered from our website shopping pages here: www.floraldesigninstitute.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3_18 We appreciate you taking the time to join us for the peony bridal bouquet, and hope that we will see you again very soon for more wedding floral design. All the best to you!

[@nailpolish1493]

How much would you charge for this?

[@FlowerSchool]

That's an excellent question, Mala! It really depends on the cost of your materials and labor, and if it was a custom design for a wedding, it would cost even more because it was created especially for the wedding couple. There are different ways to price a bouquet, but the important thing to remember is that you are selling a service as much as a product. The other thing to keep in mind is that the cost of the flowers will go up or down depending on the demand and the supply. We hope this information helps and thank you very much for watching our show. P.S. We have a few Flower School Lives that cover pricing and you can find them through this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLJbJF6YZAYyLFYFYDMFU-OYGtk9zleFhb Wishing you all the best and please have a lovely week with flowers!

[@PrincessOfTheUniverz]

Hi, how long does it take to make the peonies bloom? and what is the best way to do that?

[@FlowerSchool]

+MaiLife Time to open depends on the variety. Our Peony Care and Handling video at the following link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX6xoGqkgchljJo

[@anjajevtic]

This is beautiful!! One queston: How can we avoid flowers to fallout from the holder, when Bride toss the bouquet?

[@FlowerSchool]

Thank you for such an excellent question, Anja! We hope you saw our earlier reply: any bouquet using a foam holder would not be appropriate for use as a "toss bouquet". If you toss it, the flowers will fall out. Generally, a second bouquet is made for the toss. This bouquet is smaller, lighter, hand-tied and without embellishments that could cause injury.
