\"DIY-Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n

So what exactly does a florist use to prepare flowers for wedding arrangements and party flowers? \u00a0Not the typical items you might find in the garage or kitchen, but easy to obtain once you know what you are after.\u00a0 Here are the basic tools and supplies you need to make it easy to work with wholesale flowers.<\/p>\n

The first and most important tool you need in your DIY kit is a good pair of Floral Scissors<\/a>.\u00a0 They might look like ordinary scissors, but they are not.\u00a0 They are specifically designed to cut stems without mashing the ends which would prohibit proper water take up.\u00a0 For proper re-hydration of all dry-shipped wholesale flowers, you really need these!<\/p>\n

The only sure thing you will find in every person’s pocket working in the wholesale flower market is a sharp floral\u00a0knife<\/a>.\u00a0 Used for opening boxes, cutting woody stems, or removing thorns, this tool is always on hand.\u00a0 They come in fixed blade and folding varieties.\u00a0 The maker’s of those famous Swiss Army Knifes also offer a single blade folding floral knife <\/a>specifically designed for floral work.<\/p>\n

Preparing wholesale roses can be a little intimidating at first because of the thorns.\u00a0 They are the only flower in the cooler ready to draw blood from a novice and expert alike.\u00a0 While the experts probably use a sharp floral knife, the thorn stripper<\/a> is the DIY flower prepper’s solution.\u00a0 It’s a simple, inexpensive device that removes all the thorns with one pass down the stem.\u00a0 The excess leaves come off as well, making it very fast to prep a 25 pack of roses.<\/p>\n

Next in the bag of tricks are the floral solutions.\u00a0 Most people think you need to add flower food to the water of fresh cut flowers, but flowers don’t really need food.\u00a0 What they need is fresh, clean water that stays fresh and clean.\u00a0\u00a0Products like Aquaplus power<\/a> keep the water clean, and bacteria free longer than untreated water, and that keeps the stems from becoming clogged.\u00a0 While it comes in packets for single vase use, keeping a tub or pail of it on hand is more economical.\u00a0 If you want your cut flowers to last as long as possible, use a water treatment product.<\/p>\n

Another favorite solution for florists is leaf shine<\/a>.\u00a0 Like waxing the car after a car wash, leaf shine adds the finishing professional touch on all the greens and leaves in the arrangement.\u00a0 Wholesale greens and flower leaves often arrive dirty, dull, or with water stains.\u00a0 Using a spray leaf shine after the centerpiece or bouquet is made only takes a few seconds and restores the greens to a bright shiny luster.<\/p>\n

Green floral wire and green floral tape are basic staples for all professional designers.\u00a0 The floral wire<\/a> can be used to support weak\u00a0stem flowers\u00a0like gerbera daisies or to add support to corsages and boutonnieres.\u00a0 Green floral tape <\/a>is used to wrap hand-tied bouquets and as a final stem wrap on wedding boutonnieres.\u00a0 Both are essential for the DIY flower toolkit!<\/p>\n

Last but not least is floral foam<\/a> and\u00a0floral adhesive.\u00a0 Most people have seen the green foam in arrangements but have never worked with it.\u00a0 It comes in brick size blocks and can be cut and shaped to fit the vase or container being used and works to hold the flowers and other arrangement components in place.\u00a0 As light as a feather when dry, cut flower foam absorbs a large volume of water when soaked which then is available to keep the stems hydrated.\u00a0 Note there is also a dry foam that does not absorb water and is only or silk or dried flower arrangements.\u00a0 Floral adhesive<\/a> can be used anywhere where components need to be glued in place.\u00a0 Also, a must for foam bouquet holders to keep the stems in place.<\/p>\n

So if you are starting from scratch on a DIY flower project, or just want to use the right tools for the job<\/a>, starting with these basic floral design supplies will\u00a0make all your flower creations turn out right!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
