DIY Flower Arranging with Flower Duet
Wednesday, February 04, 2009 Posted by Felicia
I remember when I was getting married and we were trying to save money! One way I thought would help was with the flowers. We did end up doing a lot of the flowers ourselves (fake... it was winter) but when it came to the bridal bouquet I had to go professional! It would have been great to have what I am about to tell you about back then!Flower Duet is the excellent instructional DVD from sisters Casey and Kit Coleman (Y
ou might recognize Casey's name from Bummas). They are rivaling Martha Stewart in this brand new DIY Flower Arranging Instructional DVD! I love how it takes you step by step through every process! First, they take you to their favorite wholesale location. You will learn how to choose your fresh flowers, how to clean and condition, create a pink center piece, create a bridal bouquet, and a tall organic bouquet.
I learned so many things that I don't even know where to begin! They give you excellent floral tips like cutting your stems under water and at a 45 degree angle. These are just two of the many helpful
tips given in this extensive video... ALL IN 30 MINUTES!

This sister team also teaches floral arranging in CA, and creates custom arrangements for clients in their area. Check out a clip of the video on the website or HERE.
This DVD retails for $29.95! What a great deal when you think about all they money you will be saving on your arrangements!
This would be excellent for engagement parties, dinner parties, weddings or just for those flowers you pick up at the grocery store!
This giveaway has ended! Winner mom2anutball!

I see celerity moms are already using the chewable jewels! I quit wearing jewelry when my daughter was born so that it would not get broken. This is the perfect solution. Fashionable and made safely for kids to chew on.
( I didn't know if this comment should go here or on the Chewable Jewels post. I hope it is o.k. here. Thanks)

OK..Where was Chewable Jewels when I needed them. What a great idea! I especially like the fact you can put them in your dishwasher to disinfect them. When my son was teething, I would have to scrub (by hand) anything he was teething on and to me that really didn't get them clean enough but I couldn't put them in the dishwasher because they'd melt.
Chewable Jewels has "ease of use" in mind for moms and it's been a long time coming. Great product.
February 4, 2009 8:58 AM
They have split up the flower arrangements by seasonal categories...which will make it easier to pick out which flowers to work with.
