Advice of experienced florists

Instead of Chrisal, vinegar, vodka or a solution of citric acid can be used to prevent the isolation of juice from the stems of plants. In addition, the buttonhole, made by hand, will last for the entire festive day, if the cut of the rose is dropped into molten wax or stearin.

The finished composition, previously sprinkled with water from the nebulizer and packed in a plastic bag, is stored in a refrigerator at a temperature of 6 ° C.

The flower should not be huge. For example, a lily can break the harmony of the image and occupy the entire lapel.

Avoid using colors with a strong aroma that emits pollen. The sharp smell of the groom will have to be sniffed all day, well, and the pollen can ruin the wedding dress or, even worse, cause allergies.
