Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Some people go to the market for silly things like food. Not me, I prefer my groceries in the form of inedible flowers. I grab a few bunches of flowers willy nilly and then slap them together in a vase in an arrangement that inevitably looks like I bought them at the grocery store.
Lucky for me, the nice ladies over at FlowerDuet kindly sent me over a DVD from their flower arranging series.
The DVD runs about 30 minutes long and takes the viewer through picking flowers, prepping flowers and then arranging them using a European wrap technique.
The editing of the videos is on the awkward side which provides a bit of comedy what is otherwise a very informative video.
I bought a couple of bunches of flowers from the supermarket and followed their tips and got an arrangement that looked like it came from the florist. This particular DVD actually shows how florists arrange flowers in a way that the stems align beautifully.
The same techniques can be used to make your own bridal bouquet or wedding centerpieces! The video would be great for the DIY bride who wants help arranging her own flowers. Just get this DVD, gather up your wedding helpers, have some martinis, watch the video and arrange some flowers! (Martinis can be substituted with the beverage of your choice.)
I would go through all of the very valuable tips, like cutting the stems of flowers at a 45 degree angle underwater to make sure they are able to drink in the most water during the preparation but instead, the FlowerDuet is allowing me to do a giveaway!
Enter below and the raffle ends on February 9, 2013! Good luck!
a Rafflecopter giveaway I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
