I need something similar that can be dyed or that comes in black, purple and or white.

I”m getting my flowers from flowersandfreshness.com .
I also am on a limited budget, and want roses as well. They have roses in bulk, and they come in bud form and in all different colors. The total price including shipping is only 165.99 fro 200 roses!!
Take a look at it, and never go the fake flower route ecspecially for the most special day of your life !!

This is my senior prom, and I need an idea for the boutonniere and corsage. I have a like bluish teal dress. I don’t know what color flower or what type of flower I want. So what are the best flowers for a corsage or boutonniere? What is the most common or the most unique? Thanks!

Yellow roses work very well since they don’t fade very quickly and they aren’t so delicate that you can’t move freely while wearing them.

The flowers died within a few days. Is there anything at home I can put in the water to make them last longer, if they don’t come with any flower food?

You can crumble up baby asprin and put it in the vase with the water and a bit of sugar. Also every few days cut the stems on an angle.

For our next date, I thought I would give her flowers, so no occasion, except that I want to convey that I really like her. We are both in our mid to late 20s. During this time of year in the mid-atlantic region, what is a good idea for flowers and I don’t want to be cliche and give her roses? Thanks!

If you know any of her friends, then talk to them and ask them not to mention anything. Find out what her favourite flower is, that shows effort. Sure the friend will tell her even if they agree not too, but that also shows effort.

Plus, it’s also a good idea in case the friend turns around and says she suffers badly from hey fever, that way you can get plastic flowers as a gimmicky gift to prevent a romantic gift turning into a miserable date.

I’d like to get married in May or June. I’ve read that people save $ by incorporating flowers that are getting ready to go out of season. Is this true? Or did I understand it wrong?

It depends on where you live – different flowers grow in Florida than in Ohio at different times of the year.

The cheapest flowers are almost always the ones that are locally in season – which means they are growing in your area at that time. There are plenty of them (high supply) and they don’t have to be shipped from somewhere (shipping is expensive), which means a cheaper price for the buyer.

Best bet: Call three or four florists in your area. Ask them what their best deals are in May/June.

Is it ok to give flowers to someone who is in a play/ musical even if they are only a company member? What types of flowers should be avoided for certain circumstances? and any other random flower giving tips.

You can give a boy flowers anytime, but typically they are given as a boutonniere (pin on) for formal/special occasions, for funerals, or as a get well gift. It is ok to give flowers to anyone in the cast/crew. If the person isn’t one of the more prominent members of the company, I would wait until they are off stage at the end of the production.

Here is a link with descriptions of what different flower colors symbolize:

In general, red is for love and yellow is for friendship.

Poppies might remind people of war as they are commonly used in war memorials and peace demonstrations.

I kinda like her, but don’t want too be to assertive and such, what kind of flowers should I buy? I was kinda thinking orange/reddish roses, but I think just red seems way too strong. It doesn’t even have to be roses too. Any suggestions? FYI this is highschool. Thanks.

What about a Silverstone Lavender rose that express serenity and love. A subtle way to say “I love you”.

She said that we could plant some bulbs and have the flowers in bloom around that time. My wedding colors are pink and chocolate with a little bit of white, so those colors would be wonderful as I would really like to skip the florist. Thank you!

Do NOT take a chance on anything blooming at a certain time. Go to a nursery and find out from the manager what they "think" will be blooming and if they will hold them for you. Ask the manager what day you should plant them so they will not look wilted.
