How to Prepare Flowers for Floral Arrangements

"Now, let's play with our lilies. Like I said, they're such a beautiful color. Again, with the pollen in these lilies, you want to be sure you remove it. Pollen will stain anything it brushes against. Even does your fingers. Now a bride one time, had a bouquet full of these, and they didn't take the pollen out and she had a silk organza dress. She kept on rubbing it; her bouquet, against her dress. Well needless to say the dress was ruined. Because they can't get this out of fabric. Especially silk organza, so always, always, always remove your pollen. Now for this, I'm just going to kind of cut it at the stem. Again, you're going to need like a bunch of these, which is ten stems. You want to let them open, so again you get the most coverage. Take your leaf off, cut about maybe two inches down. This is where your flower food comes into play. Just dip the stem into the food, just for a moment, and then you insert into your oasis. You poke it right through the galix, until you get to the desired height. Right about there. And we just repeat this process until you've covered your oasis with your lilies."
