Finally, use a little bit of foliage and greenery throughout your arrangement. But be careful to not overdo it, foliage isn’t the main character in this green fairytale.
How to Care for your green flowers?
Green flowers for a wedding are, like all flowers, fragile and delicate. Before working with any kind of flower – green or otherwise – conditioning is key.
“We always say, loose as much leaves as you can effort. The less leaves, the more energy goes into the flower.”
Give your flowers (except for poppies, narcissus, and hyacinth) a sharp, clean cut. Remove the leaves. We always say, loose as much leaves as you can effort. The less leaves, the more energy goes into the flower. Put the fresh cut stems in clean water with flower food. Important to know is that for the green Viburnum special flower food is used, since they need extra care. Make sure your flowers had a good drink before you start using them.
