Classy and sophisticated

This weekend I have 16 tables to decorate. Martini glasses filled with jelly balls and oriental Lillie's to announce elegance and class. I have buckets of these flowers throughout my house just slowly opening ready for saturday. I have collected some perfect fresh monsteria leaves and dendro orchids that have come all the way from singapore... Absolutely perfect!

Saturday has arrived and I have been carefully helping these Lillie's open to perfection. One whole bucket of successful stars :) these flowers are always closed when in transit from the growers, it means a long lasting flower than can take weeks to open. A bonus if your a customer wanting them for home however so weddings and Lillie's are often difficult.

Upon researching some techniques among warm conditions and warm water in the buckets. The one tip that worked best was to steam them open :/ indeed it does sound like I'm cooking them but it worked!

Now for the tricky part, transporting a bucket of open flowers for an hour... Ha ha this is a challenge.

Wedding perfect weather here today. All my brides have been blessed with sun. It's rained all week but god has provided sunlight for the newest brides out there. Have a beautiful day ladies.
