What is the best site that you have found for getting artificial flowers?

Thursday, February 24th, 2011
Shannon P asked:


I’m hoping I don’t have to go the artificial route, but if I do, I really want my flowers to look real. I’m so scared of buying artificial flowers online because, not having seen them in person, they may look fake and cheap. What are some sites that you have found and gotten flowers from that make good quality flowers?

my bouquet will have anemones, daisies, stock, spray roses, wax flowers, asters and lilies.

How do I keep birds from eating flowers in my container garden?

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011
Violet777 asked:


I have also seen squirrels and chipmunks, so I bought Shake Away–it seemed to work for the most part if I keep putting it out there. I also bought a pinwheel and some hologram ribbon that is supposed to keep birds away, but these have not worked–the birds keep going into the containers. I’ve replaced some of my flowers already, and when I see that they’ve been dug up (sometimes they’ve been removed completely and put on the ground) I just replant and hope that the roots take hold again. I have always lived on the second floor with a porch garden, and never had problems like this, even though there were a lot of birds. Now I’m on the first floor and I can’t get them to stay away. There were a lot of neighbors that had bird feeders, and management requested they be removed because the squirrel problem was getting worse. Are they so hungry now they are going for the flowers? I cannot put moth balls out, since they cause me to have an asthma attack. Any suggestions would help!

What wedding flowers do you like for this space?

Sunday, February 13th, 2011
oakenfoldgoddess asked:


Hi I am needing a little help with the decor of this venue. It is a very industrial space (it used to be an old boiler room, now converted to a restaurant) with exposed brick, high ceilings, etc. We would be getting married in May 2011. What colors do you think would work best with this venue? And what color flowers/kind of flowers do you like with this space? Would you use candles? Also, would you do uplighting or any other kind of lighting to make it more wedding-ish, or leave it the way it is?

What can a flower girl do besides throw flowers?

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011
Ula Sprayberry asked:


I am the maid of honor and have been asked for help by the bride. Due to family politics, a 3-year old girl will be in the ceremony against the bride’s will. She does not want flowers thrown, but doesn’t know what else to have the little girl do. The wedding is a Caribbean destination wedding on the beach. Any suggestions?
