"Hi, my name is Christine Holanda. I'm the owner of Lily of the Valley Florist in La Quinta California. I'm going to show you how to decorate a flower girl basket. Now this can be any; it can be extremely ornate or very simple. I'm going to show you a more simple way to do it. It's very easy. You simply take the ribbon of choice, I chose red. And you would wrap the handle with the red ribbon all the way around and then you would make a bow, and tie the bow on the side that the flower girl will be carrying the basket. And you look at it and you fluff it. And get it to exactly how you like it to look. And then you take rose petals of the same color or whatever color you prefer, it doesn't necessarily have to be the same color. And you put them in the basket. And that's how you decorate a flower girl basket."
