Bigger Isn't ALWAYS Better!

For some people, flowers are all about being big and showy...making a huge impression right off the bat. Not that there is anything wrong with that...but sometimes BIGGER doesn't always mean SHOWIER. Here is an arrangement with two dozen red roses. Instead of leaving the stems long, my customer asked that we create a tight, massive arrangement. It's about half the size of what we would typically do for that many roses, but I think it's far more impressive. AND....the roses are going to last a lot longer to boot! The longer the stem is on any flower, the harder the flower has to work to suck the water up to the top, resulting in a shorter vase life. I wish that more people would ask us to do their roses like this...I think that they would be pleasantly surprised with the results!!
