How to Add Roses to a Wedding Arrangement

Video Transcript

"It's all about roses. Roses are a wonderful accent to any wedding, they're so romantic. They come in many different colors and varieties. These are florists roses. You could also get garden roses, which open beautifully. They do have a very strong fragrance. I've chosen these, because they don't have much of a fragrance, so they will not be competing with the lilies already in the arrangement. You do not want to overpower the room, and your guests, with too much fragrance. Now these, the cool waters as they're called. Lets see if I can get one to come out here. This is where your rose stripper comes in handy. Just take it like that, pull back; and it cleans your stem. Now, when putting it into your arrangement, you kind of want to look for some openings. Like this here, right where this unopened lily is. Just cut about three or four inches, pull your lilies open, and insert into your oasis. Again, new texture, new color, and just kind of do this throughout the arrangement to give it kind of a mixed kind of look. Or if you like, sometimes you can clump the roses and the colors to give it more of a "hey look at me" kind of feel. So next, we're be doing the antiserums."
