This is really really helpful and thorough. Thank you

This was very helpful . Such a great video

We are DIY'ing the flowers/arrangements for our wedding and this is seriously the most helpful video I've come across. THANK YOU!

Thanks, Alison! This is just what I needed to see, will be decorating a similar arch next month for my girlfriend's niece's wedding.

Thank you so much! I have never done this and my friend asked me to do it for her wedding. I used your video and it was a success! She gave me a bucket of roses and 2 bunches of greens. It turned out great!thank you for taking the time to share this!

This video was so helpful. Thank you! The arbor for my daughter’s wedding was beautiful because of your guidance! :)

Thank you! This is so helpful. Will be doing the one for my wedding and I feel a tiny bit more confident.

You are incredibly kind to share so much of your knowledge. Thank you so much!

Beautiful! And a big help to me because I have to decorate my daughter's arch. Thanks so much!

That's a very good tutorial! Work in bunches of three (but not always) and not all at the same length. Got it.

Thank you so much for your tutorial. You are a really great hands-on skills teacher! I used artificial flowers because we will be at a hotel and have a very short set-up time at the venue, but I was able to use your guidelines for types/shapes of flowers. I created this for my son's wedding. I am really happy with how it turned out.

I just booked my first wedding - this tutorial is FABULOUS and seriously helped me with all my concerns and worries in designing a floral arch. THANK YOU!

Beautiful! Love your teaching and presentation style!

This is gorgeous. And SO helpful. Seriously, thank you!!

Love those toffee rose thx for the teaching

Completed my wedding flowers yesterday and I think they look amazing ALL thanks to you and your step by step video making it easy. My grateful thanks Aussie 63yr old bride Sonja 💕🙏🍾🙏💕

Looking to do this for my wedding, thank you for the video! just wondering if it’s best to do at the venue or if i could make this the day before and transport it to the venue and then put the floral foam cage up? Thanks!

Bonita mezcla de colores en las flores.

Great videos, it looks gorgeous! How soon before the wedding should you make this? How long can it withstand the outdoors prior to the wedding date?

Thank you for your tutorial. Is it possible to prepare the flowers and greenery the day before and put it up on the day?

It is beautiful

I love the color toffee (and toffee rose) When I get married those are the colors I will be using.

can brick foams be a good substitute for what u have used?

Thank you

So glad you have posted a new post! Thanks Alison. I'm just wondering if you were making this for an afternoon ceremony, would it need to made day of wedding?

@BloomCultureFlowers

4 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! So I usually err on the side of caution and try to build the arbors on the day of the ceremony (morning of) but depending on the weather and your access to the venue, you may be able to make the day beforehand and keep it hydrated. But again, i usually suggest day of for optimum freshness!

I can't wait to make this for my daughter's wedding. If I assemble in the morning and the ceremony is at 4pm, do I need to add more water to the foam before ceremony?

I am doing an arraignment for April wedding. On the beach. Can I make the Garland at home and attach it when the arch is set up on the beach?

I love love this now I have a question, if we are also using drapery do we put it up before or after ?

@BloomCultureFlowers

3 жыл бұрын

Great question! I typically put it up before and make sure it's where I want it, because when you zip tie the foam cage to the arch it's going to make moving the drapery harder. It may move it a bit but I think it's easier to do it before!

Excellent video. If we wanted the area to be bigger do you just add another piece of foam near it or would you not recommend that? Also if you don’t mind answering another quesrion... I’m using greenery such as Italian ruscus and silver dollar eucalyptus on a table with candles how far ahead of time can I put the greenery out? I’m worried it may wilt?!

@drakevaccaro1587

I would think adding another piece of oasis foam will be fine! Your greenery should be find to put out ahead of time as well!!

So beautiful....what about the water in the foam...does it drip out as your put the flowers in? If I’m doing an arbour with fabric on it , won’t it wet the fabric and puddle on the floor?

I’d say no more than 24 hours but I usually make it the day of the event because of the loss of hydration of the foam.

Looks great!! How should I go about doing something like this a few days before wedding?

I’d only do it 24 hours in advance to mitigate wilting. You could always do the greenery a day ahead of time and the flowers the day of.

Hi what size foam block did you use?

Can I arrange the flowers at home and take it on wedding day. I’m concerned it might mess it up if I leave it over night on arch

No they do not need to be wet but these blocks are for fresh flowers and are very brittle when dry and may not be the best/right medium for artificial flowers.

@@BloomCultureFlowers are silks/some faux greenery *easily* likely to fall out of wet foam if I'm going to supplement a living installment with some silk dramatic blooms? got them b/c I felt we needed them with the fresh flowers available, which was good but not a lot of drama

What are the names of all the greenery you used?

Do you think that this would look okay if I pieced together the arrangement first then zip tied to the arch? Also, I am using wood flowers and other various artificial flowers, would that work with this concept as well? I'm getting married in 2 months, right now is crunch time for me lol

I’d agree, I don’t think the foam is a great hydration tool for long term florals. I usually make these types of arrangements the day of.

I typically do Arrangements like this the day of but some of our clients have done it the day/evening before. Really depends on a lot of factors such as transport, temperature (if it’s outside), access to the venue.

It is possible! the only thing is you'll have to do some re-touching or re-design once it's up on the arch. Designing in place helps with accurate placement and using less flowers.
