Flower Power
Posted on July 29th, 2010 by Jeannie. Filed under Do It Yourself, Flowers.
Flowers can transform a ceremony from drab to fab, alright to alluring … ok, you get my point. I love this new ceremony umbrella idea from Chelsea Fuss!
Chelsea’s tips:
Simply rent a market umbrella (usually around $40) from a local rental company and cover the pole in greenery or flowers. For this look, 50 stems of hydrangeas were used with the greens left on them (for fuller coverage).
You’ll also need: string or wire, clippers, scissors and flower food.
Buy your flowers a day or two ahead of time. Re-cut the stems and then place the flowers in a large, clean bucket full of water with flower food. Keep in a cool, dark place. One hour before the ceremony, add the flowers to the umbrella pole, (or ask a friend or your coordinator to do so!). Group 3-4 stems together and tie or wire them onto the pole.
More helpful hints: Try talking with your local farmer’s market vendors about buying flowers in bulk at a discount rate! If using hydrangeas, pick ones with very firm flowers and petals. Another cheaper option is salal, an inexpensive greenery.

This has been extremely open-handed of people like you to allow extensively precisely what many people could have sold for an e-book to help with making some profit for themselves, primarily considering the fact that you could have tried it in case you desired. The things also worked to become a fantastic way to fully grasp some people have a similar dream just like my own to figure out a whole lot more in regard to this matter. I’m certain there are many more pleasurable moments ahead for those who take a look at your blog.
