How do you stick the glitter on, can you get a spray or something? Sounds the sort of thing my customers would like! I'm doing someones Chrimbo flowers and she has the taste of Edina in Ab Fab. Sixty odd but dresses like a spice girl. Filthy rich too.

yup before i had my own shop i worked in loads of shops in manchester and none of them were ever busy between xmas and new year, the bar steward owners had the time off and poor staff still knackered from xmas week had to plod on, weddings and all!

There were never any decent reasonably priced fresh flowers about and a lot of wholesalers close. So its generally a pain in the arse and for the amount of trade its not worth it. At my shop now we have a lot of business customers and they all close for the xmas period so no problem with them, theres never any funerals either so we close up on the xmas eve normal time and come back in january......bliss!!

I use spray glue then just put glitter in a bag and shake shake shake!!

we got some fab glitter shakers from the wholesalers last xmas for a light dusting we don't even spray with glue just sprinkle away!!

OOoo that sounds like a better idea...i use the silver or gold glitter spray from oasis thats good....not such a full on glitter but cool all the same

one of our suppliers had glitter edged roses last year and the year before. Not my kind of thing, but it did kinda look nice.

Body spray from Claires whatsits is great, doesn't smell as much as the oasis stuff either.
