They are so beautiful, yet one of the most delicate of flowers when it comes to heat.  Summer, outdoor weddings are a challenge for these flowers.  The key is to keep them in water as much as possible and to spray them, several times , with a product that helps the petals retain their moisture.  Never put them in design foam (oasis).  They are best used in handwrapped, clutch style bouquets.  Keep them in a well air conditioned room, if possible, and in a vase of water as much as possible.

I started Signature Flowers & Events originally by the name of Gardenesque.  One of my first comments was that I was not going to specialize in Weddings.  Well, I've come full circle from that opinion.  I think, at the time, I was afraid of the 'Bride-zilla's' and just didn't want to deal with stressful situations.  However now, after 9 years, I must say that I've met and worked for some of the the kindest and most easy going Brides that every Florist and Wedding Coordiantor only dreams of.  There have been some very unexpected situations, but nothing that hasn't g
