    I love Trader Joes flowers. Our TJ's donates their leftover bouquets to a local nursing home. One day I brought a friend to TJ's, who has some mobility problems. I was helping her shop, but then an employee stepped up and offered to assist her, allowing me to do my own shopping.. Before we left, the employee gifted Shirley with a bouquet of flowers! Thank you for this really good tutorial. I am now a subscriber (and sharing this).

      WOW! Makes me tear up. What a sweet story! I hope your friend felt really special. Good for TJ's. I had 4 surgeries on my leg due to an ankle break & staph, and I was truly amazed how many very good ppl there are in the world; they went out of their way to help me, give tips & sometimes tell me their own story. That said, I can't imagine how hard it must be to have permanent mobility problems. I'll pray for her. ❤🙏

    I literally learned more than paying for a class. Love love love this video! Thank you so much. I get flowers every Sunday from the farmers market and just pop them in a vase but now I can do so much more! Thank you!

    if you strip the leaves off the stems of your greens before placing them in the water, it helps to keep bacteria from forming in your water that then shortens the life of your flowers... beautiful arrangement!!!

      Oh my God I'm also planning a... wait, you're planning a wedding right?

      I read somewhere that wholesale flowers are cool..?

    • @djtanner4472

      @@happypenguin25 Yeah, the price of a florist for your wedding is pretty insane.

    I realize you say you miss planning for weddings, and I realize that I'm not paying you directly, but you have no idea how much videos like yours are helping me right now.
    Most of my fianceé's family is overseas, and it's going to be really expensive to fly people out.
    For what it's worth, this tutorial makes me feel like I have a chance at saving money on my wedding day, and it gives me hope. You have my deepest of gratitude.

I can’t afford that but your video is a perfect combination of cheap flowers and natural greenery from the forest! 🌺👏💐💖

So relaxing and peaceful to watch...and full of great tips. Love you Ashlyn...you are making a difference :)

    I work at a flower shop so some tips I noticed. Strip the leaves to the water level, take off the brown petals off the white spray roses and add cold water and a drop of bleach. Change the water daily and you can store the arrangements in your refrigerator at night to make it last longer. Love your eye though, you did great designing!

    Thank you so much! I looked at your container and thought to myself that it would take way too many flowers to make it look full...I was so wrong! I love the tape grid idea and I am going to try that next time I have a wide container. I love the flowers you chose! You have a good eye for what goes nicely together. Totally agree about the flowers at Trader Joe’s- they are a really nice assortment and affordable. Thank you for all of the great instruction!

Have to say the floral tape that I used for the grid, would not stick and would get wet- much more challenging than you made it look- but it turned out great!!! I love it!

    Loved your arrangement. I wish we had Trader Joe's in Australia. Fresh flowers here are twice the price ( and that's if you can even find somewhere that sells single-type flowers). Usually it's just mixed bunches of the same boring flowers (a couple of gerberas, baby's breath, a carnation and a sprig of greenery) for $25 or more.

  • @therealJamieJoy
