Oh my god!! Honestly I don't like all of those flowers. I am not rose kind of girl but you amaze me here.. I love all of them. Thank you so much for this lovely video. I am going to make one for my friend's baby shower next week. Thank you thank you so very much again and again.
For months I have been trying to figure out how to do something like this for our wedding coming this Dec....I just could not completely decide how to until I saw your video. Thank you for posting this. I am not the best at visioning so this was wonderful :)
That is beautiful!!!! I really liked it, thanks a lot for the patience you have to explain things.I can see you really love and enjoy what you do. Congratulations!!!
could you please provide us the links to ordering the bleach tablet and flower frog....I love all of your tutorials Mr. J. keep it coming I love these type of arrangements ! I want to do this for my house warming middle March thank you very much in advance.
That might be fun... the flowers don't last very long... so you definitely need to make them the day before only... as they cloud the water quickly... be sure to use the CVBn Tablets from Chrysal!
I just made the decision and sent off my application to do the major floristry course available here in Australia... I have been told left right and centre that it's a terrible idea, that I'll never make money or be able to buy a house! But guess what? I don't care. Your videos are so inspiring and your passion and excitement for flowers is a joy to see. Thank you for giving me that final push I needed to follow my dreams!
Allie Rawlings Congratulations... Keep following your Passion for Flower Design and Arranging... with Passion you can do Anything... and FLOWERS will help provide your motivation and also the gratification of creating beauty for others...

@@valeriedonahoe5264 Thanks so much Valerie- every viewer- and comment is important to me... I hope you're able to catch our NEW Public Television Show- J Schwanke's Life in Bloom on your Local PBS Station or Create TV Network- or you can watch it on line at www.uBloom.com/LifeinBloom - It's my NEWEST Project- and Season 2 is coming in April 2020! Thanks again for the sweet comments!
For Submerged Flower Arrangements... I use CBVn Tablets from Chrysal USA... these help reduce the growth of bacteria in the water... and assist in keeping the water clear for a longer period of time. However remember that flowers completely submerged will create bacteria faster and degrade quickly... (about 24 hours)... I also suggest using distilled water... that helps reduce bacteria production as well! Thanks for the question on our youtube channel!
+Susy Vargas Thanks so much Susy... I appreciate it.. Keep having fun with Flowers... and I'll keep making videos...You're the BEST! Thanks for the sweet note!

I just stumbled upon your video in search of a way to make my dream wedding centerpieces come to life. Thank you so much for sharing your information, this will be beautiful at my pastel wedding. You have such a wonderful personality and I will be sure to subscribe and see more. :)
Thank you for demonstrating various ways to create beautiful flower arrangements. We are having our 50th Wedding Anniversary, and I was looking for a simple, yet elegant centerpiece idea. I will definitely try this type of flower arrangement.
I did a tester and it lasted with just filtered water for a day, then after that the petals started to become translucent, which are still very pretty and almost lacy looking. thanks for sharing this video :) I'm enjoying your channel!
This is the perfect solution for people with allergies, I love flowers but I am allergic to most of them! Thank you so very much for this beautiful idea!
Hi again Mr J...not on this video but another I watched...when you used cold glue on bottom of flower that you cut stem off ...I was wondering how long they last like that? Also years ago we used to cotton wool a flower stem then wrap it with tape to hold moisture...just wondering if I put a small piece of wet cotton wool then cold glued it would that work to get the flowers some moisture or not and would the cold glue stick to wet area?? I had never heard about cold glue before and know nothing about it ...hope to buy some on internet...but can’t find the product you use 😔😔
Hi Elizabeth- The glued flowers- will last about 18 hours out of the cooler... so a bit longer than wired and taped flowers... Yes- I'm familiar with the wicking method with cotton or kleenex... it doesn't really work with the cold glue... sorry to say! Look for Oasis Cold Adhesive- it's the best... but if you can't find it... you can use rubber cement - it works almost as well... just not as easy to use- and the Oasis product is much more durable- and holds much better!
You can also tie rocks to the bottom of the stem... of the flower with Fishing Line or Decorative Wire... this creates a much more decorative aspect... but is a bit more difficult to execute. Hope this helps... All the BEST!!! Yes Roxanna... many Permanent Flowers have stems that will fit into flower frogs as well...
It would be Possible to use PLASTIC Flowers to make a longer lasting Submerged Flower Arrangement... I would suggest washing the plastic flowers thoroughly and then using distilled water... I would also use the CBVN tablets to prevent the water from clouding...
what is the name of the last flower you used and the foliage too? where can i usually get them. so love it.... inspired to arrange flowers too. thank you!
Hi J, I need some advice, we are making 40 centerpieces in a 2ft cylinder vase and submerging a large calla lily then adding colored gems filling it with water and floating a candle (originally I was adding the Deco gel cubes , then I realized they were not seen in the water and started to float) My question is how do we keep the calla down only with a frog??? Any Lomey glues that would work?? Just trying to keep the cost down and they can be very expensive. Thank you in advance for your advice. Elina
Callas are large flowers and the stems are very bouyant... meaning they float... so you need that weight to keep them at the bottom... No glue will hold under water... Flower Frogs are the VERY BEST WAY to keep them under the water... I have tied rocks with decorative wire and then wired the flower to the rock... with additional decorative wire... but it takes a lot of time to secure the rocks and the flowers to the rocks... but that is an option... I have purchased sets of Flower Frogs at Craft stores... there is a set that is marketed at 11.95 for 5 frogs... some are larger some are smaller.. so it depends on the size of your calla... if they will be large enough to weigh them down... I do hope this helps...
u know the teacher is good when u see them enjoyin their work!! Look at him....happy like a puppy

How do you transport 30 finished vases
Don't fill them all the way - only about a 1/3 full... then get them in place and add water... That's the Best way to do it!
Thanks for the Question!
So good!! Where have you been all my life! 😆
Thank you for sharing your knowledge..we were curious abot the whole submerged flower arrangements and nobody at Michael's could help!
Excellent! Thanks so much for your ideas. They are all lovely!
Love it and easy to arrange them so I'm going to make them on my wedding day!

Can i use salt to preserve it longer?
@@ParisHoward I don't think that will do anything... Salt water is toxic to plants- so in fact it may make them die quicker!
Love your tutorials...Thanks for sharing

Yes Roxanna... many Permanent Flowers have stems that will fit into flower frogs as well...
I made one with floating fake fishes, so fun!
That's a Great Idea... Thanks for the note Maryann- I'm delighted you liked the video and the project! Thank you for subscribing to my Channel!
Perfect for my garden party.
Nice ornaments with flowers ( artificial or natural?.🌸🌹🌺🌷☘🌻🍀⚘

Wow ! Im glad to see your reply . Thank u so much . U teach me a lot Thanks again :-) :-)
can you reccomend some video to learn how to tie the rocks to the ends of the stems with the wire--- your are amazing by the way, hello from Mexico!
Simply amazing! Thanks your for sharing. Question: Can I add fish (guppies) for the duration of the flower?
Thank you for this wonderful idea. what do you call that light you placed ?
It would be Possible to use PLASTIC Flowers to make a longer lasting Submerged Flower Arrangement... I would suggest washing the plastic flowers thoroughly and then using distilled water... I would also use the CBVN tablets to prevent the water from clouding...
I learned a lot! Thanks.
