Just Made My Bouquets
Alright, wasn't sure if I should put this here or in DIY, but since it's floral... we'll stick it here.
I just got done making my first bouquet (only 4 more to go... yipee!)
I got the flowers at the dollar store for a dollar a stem ($24.00 total. There are 3 stems of white lillies and 1 stem of purple)
I'm going to cover the stems in ribbon, but i wanted to see what you guys thought before I did all of them.
Let me know!

Good Job!
Will you cover the stem with purple ribbon?

white for the majority of the coverage, but purple accent ribbon and white pearl pins will go around.
and thanks! i've looked at it so much that all i see are imperfections!

thanks ladies!
got any tips for storing them? I"m going to wrap the stems in an old tshirt and cut a whole in a box for them to stand in. Probably top each of them with a plastic grocery bag so dust doesn't discolor them. Any other tips?

That's really all you need to do. I'm not even sure I'd put a t-shirt around the stems, just use the box and cover the tops with the bags.

I don't know if it should even be a concern but will the bouquets droop after a while? Maybe storing them upside down would help?
