Retro Trends: Flowers to Wear

  • Posted on April 6, 2010 at 7:01 am

For some customers (those who have not seen the last ball and patterns of marriage) the idea of wearing a corsage or boutonniere may seem outdated. While the flowers were great to wear in the 50s and 60s, and as we have seen over the last two columns Creative Edge, “retro” can be very fashionable. You just need an update soon. Back in the day, orchids, such as large catteyas Cymbidiums and were very popular. To match the taste of today, use less dendrobium orchids as Mokara or in conjunction with today’s fashion decorative son. The flowers can be glued to any cold surface such as textured chenille, wire single tape or gauze, which can absorb the adhesive for a bond failproof. Next month: earrings and necklaces to match. For the guys: guys like their little flowers and sophisticated. They want to get the style as much as girls do, but it must be under-this is important! create a media first son together, corresponding to lengths of Equisetum, adding some chenille stem on top of the box glue; wrap a loop of track with 24-gauge wire, make a rectangular frame close using a 12 gauge wire and wrap 24 gauge wire mesh and metal insert chenille stem in a stem quisetum; attach a rhinestone dragonfly pin with a spiral wound, make a triangular frame with a wire 12 gauge and wrap with wire and 24 gauge metal, rhinestones embedded in a mesh. The flowers and berries are individually glued to the supports with glue floral. For the shoulder decorative thread, rhinestones, and combination of fresh colors are good ways to update the shoulder blouse. These backlings composed of: 1) the pink blouse, lined with a length of aluminum wire, 12 gauge with a couple of twists, intertwined and buckle with No. 40 single tape (to provide lots of sticking points) attached to the chassis with 24 gauge wire, 2) for the blue blouse, son of the lengths of 12 gauge aluminum with boards in tight spiral shaped buttons, tied together with wire, 24 gauge; glue flowers to the low in buds of a spiral, which absorb the glue, and 3) the fuchsia blouse, two sets of spiral wire-ended 12 gauge tied together with wire, 24 gauge, with a layer of strands and twisted into complex loop of the same. Jeweled flower heads were incorporated to add value and visual depth, and three of Dendrobium flowers were simply glued to the end. For the wrist cuffs Floral rage for girls today! They may be important to recall it even after the flowers have faded> 1) a simple 12 gauge wire rectangular wire is attached to a butterfly made with pearl beads. Certain strains of caterpillar is wired to provide a bonding surface. 2) a rectangular frame of 12 gauge wire with a grid of 24 gauge son is covered with tape and wrapped with pure bullion. It is then folded to fit the wrist. Flowers sticks well to the wire mesh and sheer ribbon. 3) The same style cuff bracelet with the number 2 is adapted to a more isosceles triangle, so that the pointed tip hovers above and overlaps the other end. A jet of rhinestones embedded in the metal mesh. No ribbon used in this bracelet it all son. 4) A simple framework of irregular shape with buttons ending spiral is made with 12 gauge wire and covered with a rhinestone dragonfly, the end of the wire spiral and attached to form cuff. The flowers are glued to the coils. For more information on flower arrangements or to purchase, in Tampa, Florida and surrounding areas please consult Floral Spending Christmas and House

Christmas Decorating Trends for 2005

  • Posted on November 22, 2009 at 3:16 pm


This year, the latest craze in Christmas decorating is going back in time. Homeowners seem to be less interested in the icicle-type lights and the use of single color strands. Baby boomers seem to be harkening back to the days of their youth, by bringing back the full color glory of traditional Christmas lights. Lawn ornaments have become a must-have for the decorating elves in your neighborhood. Families everywhere are installing huge lawn ornaments, many consisting of animated light patterns. They sheer number of choices for shapes, sizes, and designs should tell you that these are very popular with festive homeowners. I am a huge fan of the old-style bubble lights (you know. . . . . the ones with colored water and bubbles inside), and they have returned with a vengeance. Many people seem to be gravitating back to using real trees, instead of using plastic pre-fab ones. Who can blame them? They smell great, and they make Christmas feel that much more real. My family has always used a real tree. It has become a family tradition to go out and cut the tree ourselves. We usually wait until mid-December. We all get bundled up in our snow gear, get our sleighs out, along with a thermos of hot apple cider, and make our way into the bush. The kids love it, the dog loves it, and it makes for an excellent family adventure!It seems that Christmas flowers have also changed with the times. Although the classic red poinsettia will likely be with us for the rest of time, many florists are offering their customers alternatives. As has been the case with flowers in general for some time, florists are now adding dyes to traditional holiday flowers and bouquets. My personal favorite happens to be a bright violet poinsettia. My daughter prefers cobalt blue. What is yours?Whether you are a staunch Christmas traditionalist or you are keen on changing along with the current decorating trends, Christmas decorations have never before been so varied and left consumers with so many choices. So get out there and shop, shop, shop! Tis the season, after all! Catherine Spelling absolutely loves Christmas with family and friends. She often starts shopping for next year on Boxing Day, and hides the gifts for an entire year. When she is not trying to prevent her children from finding her purchases, she writes for christmaslightsanddecorations. com – an online resources for all things relating to Christmas and decorations, with information about Christmas lights, Christmas ornaments, Christmas crafts and more.
