This video is so helpful.. thank you.. I'm doing the flowers for my friends wedding in October and I'm nervous about doing it but you have given me confidence.
My friend wants me to use these eucalyptus leaves that are different to yours though.. they're long and kind of flowing.. so I'm not sure how that will work but oh well
You should still be able to use a zip tie, twine or bind wire to secure the arrangement to a chair (even if it has flat edges)! I would be concerned that scotch tape wouldn't be strong enough to hold the greenery and blooms. I have used gorilla tape in the past but you would definitely want to test that before the big day!
At the end, there's a picture of an arrangement with greenery going down. If I tried that, how do you keep the arrangement wet/watered until the day of ceremony? Thank you
Do you make two bunches of greenery and then assemble the greenery and flowers day of? I can't wrap my brain around how to put the greenery in a vase when it's stems aren't all in one spot, like having their stalks meeting in the middle so the greenery spreads out up and down 🙃
@@lisalove2202 Ahhhh!!! I'm sorry, I misunderstood your first question! So, that one was just Italian Ruscus. I took one bunch of greenery, split it in two, and put it stem-to-stem and zip tied it to the chair. To create this look in advance, you would just create two bouquets with greens and flowers and put'em butt to butt when you fasten it to the chair. Make sense?
While I would love to do all of this, 1. It seems expensive 2. It seems waisteful. I'm conflicted because I want my guest to have a great time but I don't want to go in debt to do it.
We agree about not going into debt for a wedding. DIY'ing your flowers can save quite a bit. Most brides just like to do a few aisle chairs. We're here to help gals achieve whatever design they're going for on their big day.
@@johannameade7326 I think so, I think you could use 1/6 bunch of euc. Wrap it with some waterproof floral tape and use a small zip tie to attach to the lantern.
Hello Martha, great feedback and thank you for your comment and suggestion! Personally, I feel the same, but when I've cut'em short in the past they have a tendency to turn, sometimes I've felt that longer stems braced against the chair help keep them in place. I'll try some other techniques to see if I can get'em shorter, though! Thank you again, Ames
Thanks for the idea! I will use this for my wedding! 85 days away!!!!!
I love it!!
Awesome and very helpful. Love "Dude Proof!"
Beautiful
Thank you!

I'm doing the flowers for my niece's wedding in October, too! Getting nervous but need to stay confident! Good luck!
Good luck to u too!! How exciting :)
Wow
I love it. How to attach the bouquet in a chair that is flat. Do I use scotch tape?

how long of a ribbon would you recommend?
about how long is the pre-cut ribbon.. I really like your length but you only said width..:D
I like to average at least 1 yard per chair!

Hello Lisa, I make mine in advance and keep them in a little vase until I affix the flowers to the chair.

Absolutely!!! Thank you so much! I have loved watching your videos and appreciate your support so much! Many blessings!
How would I fix it to a folding white chair that has more of a solid back? 🤔
I like to use bindwire! It's magical and florist's dream. You can usually finagle it around the back and the side of the chair into place.
@flowermoxie hi, how would you attach forals to the end of a church pew? Attaching ribbon for hanging then drape the ribbon over the end?
I would use an Oasis Pew Holder!

@@FlowerMoxie to do this to drape over a lantern, how many stems of Eucalyptus would be needed? Could it be less than for a chair?
@@johannameade7326 I think so, I think you could use 1/6 bunch of euc. Wrap it with some waterproof floral tape and use a small zip tie to attach to the lantern.
Beautiful but I think that the greenery should be shorter otherwise could be very annoying for the person that sits in that chair

@@FlowerMoxie the arrangement is beautiful and the explanation is great.
I was thinking the same ! Lol
