How to choose your flowers

• The most important thing that you should
  acknowledge is that there is no right or wrong
  choices when choosing flowers for your wedding.
• It's your personal choice and your preference,
  what really matters is a basic understanding of
  what works or not for the theme and budget you
  have.
• You could grab a hold of a good florist for some
  useful advice, so be prepared to make a thousand
  questions and communicate your ideas to your
  florist once you get to that stage. A good source
  of wholesale flowers can be found online.

• Working with the flowers

• Peal the stem of the orchids and cut the fillers,
  flower fillers stem 2 inches from the bottom in
  an angle. Put them in the bucket/ container with
  water and floral food, so that they will look
  fresh for the event.
• Choose the most beautiful and bigger orchid to be
  the center of the bouquet. Hold it on your
  non-dominant hand 3-4 inch below the base of the
  flower. Start adding flowers around the main
  flower. You should alternate in this round motion
  between flower fillers and green fillers. Every
  flower filler should align with the main flower.

• Continue to add flowers in layers until you feel
  its comfortable enough for you to carry it. When
  you have finished use the rubber band to secure
  all the stems.
• Cut all the stems at the same size. Prior to the
  event wrap the stems with the floral tape. Start
  from the bottom and work your way until about 2-3
  in. from the base of the flowers.

Tips and recommendations

• You can use a sharp knife to cut flower stems but
  dont use scissors as it can close the stems
  preventing flowers to hydrate.
• Remove the leaves and thorns by hand. If you are
  going to use the flowers immediately, organize
  and secure with the rubber band, and then leave
  them in the water and flower food until a few
  hours from the time of the event.
• If flowers are not as open as we want to be
  perfect, do not touch the petals, just gently
  blow with a hair dryer on low heat or place in a
  warm place to encourage the flowers open.
