Tips for Adding Flowers to Wedding Arrangements

"Now for our last two elements of our arrangements. One is the Anthurium. Again, like I said before I love Anthuriums because of the heart shape. They're so romantic. These should be placed basically at the base. Just kind of feel your way through the arrangement and poke it through. And of course it's going to curl a little bit, so just kind of play with it until it flattens out just a little bit. Next are the Dendrobium Orchids which come in peach like this, soft pink, purples, whites, purple and white. They come in bunches of eight to ten stems. They do tend to cling to each other, the best thing to do is kind of shake it and they will let go of each other. They also come in water tubes. When picking out a bunch you always want to make sure there's at least half the tube is filled with water. That means they're really fresh. Just cut them off like that and just kind of work it. Pull your lilies apart and insert. This gives it a much bigger look, more of a flow, and more of an impact for when you walk into a room and you see several tables filled with these arrangements. Your guests will be in awe. Again, just do it symmetrically around, it doesn't really matter. So the next thing I will be talking to you about is the placement of your arrangement on your table."
