Florist News

Hi,

I'm attending a night school course in basic floristry and I'm loving every minute.

I'd like to make an arrangement for the back of a wedding car, however we haven't covered this in the course yet. We've completed double ended and single ended sprays and I am wondering if the wedding car flowers are also along these lines? Ie in foam, on a spray tray? Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Pretty much yes..like a double ended spray with a few differences. You need to look at the car concerned to see how much room you have to play with e.g. width, depth etc and the angle of the rear screen when it comes to the height of your flowers. Ideally you could do a mock up template with a block of foam on a tray and just use old flower stems to mark out the limits in each direction. That is, you would place the block in the centre and then cut the stems and piush them into the foam leaving the ends at the same position you will want your longest flowers or at least to tell you how far you can go. Think about the lowest flowers as these may not be seen if the seats are high, as opposed to flowers on a coffin where you would see them laying on the surface. You will probably see all the flowers through the rear screen though. If it is a hot day you will also have a greenhouse effect on the flowers and they will cook very quickly, so tender flowers are out. If it's a really posh car you will need to underlay with cello and an absorbent material or you may not be too popular.
You shouldn't need to worry about the driver's rear view as he should be able to cope with side mirrors.

Hi Newbee

I recently decorated a wedding car for a client but they wanted something very different. So i decorated a wire bag and slipper which you can get wholesale or from the ever popular aution website beginning with an E (didn't know if I could say their name readvertising etc). I decorated them with akito roses and organza ribbon.

They were very nice and must find the pics a smillar bag I did is on the gallery . I securred them with a bit of blue tack with permission first of course.

It's just something different and the bride gave them to her two bridesmaids as a thank you.

Regards
Ian

Hi IanF,

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll run it past my friend (the bride) however I think she is more of a traditional girl. I'll let you know how I get on.
