Fresh flowers are always the best to use. Nothing can top the beauty of a natural mini calla, the amazing scent of the grape hyacinth or the texture of a velvety rose petal. It is true that silk flowers won’t die, however, they lack the natural beauty a real flower has. The benefits of fresh flowers include their fragrance, natural beauty, ability to be freeze dried, soft to the touch, and look radiant in photographs. Also, silk flowers are not always cheaper than fresh flowers. Real looking silk flowers can be many times more expensive than a natural flower, especially when you compare them to wholesale bulk real flowers.

Before you make a decision to purchase silk flowers, please take a look at our extensive selection where we have a variety of fresh flowers that will be shipped right to your doorstep. Go to Fiftyflowers.com now!

Most flowers do not require wiring. We encourage brides to wire their flowers if (1) the flowers are going to be exposed to rough circumstances or extensive travelling, (2) if flowers have short or no stems, such as orchids and gardenias, or (3) if you are arranging with spray flowers. Please keep in mind that you can damage the flower if the wiring is done incorrectly. We recommend practicing prior to your wedding day.

Most flowers can be wired simply by wrapping the wire around the stem and covering with floral tape. It is not necessary to pierce the flower.

WIRING ORCHIDS:

To wire your orchids, clip the orchid bloom from where it connects with the stem. Near the base of the individual bloom, where the bloom meets the stem, thread the floral wire perpendicular to the stem through its center. Gently pull the wire until half its length is through the stem. Then use your thumb and index finger to bend the wire straight down, so that both ends of the wire now run parallel to the stem. Next wrap floral tape around the stem, starting at the base of the bloom and work your way toward the end of the stem. Depending on your design, you may wrap the floral tape around the wire, even after the stem has ended. To apply the tape, hold the end in place with your index finger and gently pull the tape while rotating the flower stem so that the stem receives a complete coverage.

WIRING SUNFLOWERS:

Sunflowers are one of the few flowers that usually require wiring to stand straight up. We suggest starting at the top of the stem and coiling the wire downward.

Fiftyflowers.com is here to assist you, not only with ordering flowers, but any questions you may have in regards to arranging or designing flowers for your special day.

The word “prom“ was used for the first time in 1890 as a short version of the word “promenade“ that referred to formal dances. In the United States, parents and teachers believed that a prom would be a good way to teach social skills to the students. In the 1920s, the first proms took place and a decade later they were popular across the country. In the beginning proms were pretty modest, held in the school gymnasium and decorated with crepe-paper. From the 1960s and until our days proms are more formal events with boys wearing tuxedos and girls in designer dresses arriving in limousines hired exclusively for that special night. As part of the attire girls wear a corsage, generally a wrist corsage, given to them by their dates and girls give boys matching boutonnieres.

The tradition has been exported to several countries around the world that now have their own version of the high school prom. Some of them kept the same elements as the Prom in the United States and others made their own.

• Canada: Most schools have the same traditions as Prom in the United States, except it is strictly a ceremony celebrating the graduation from high school.
• Brazil: Proms are usual at the end of high school and at college graduation. Evening gowns and suits are required.
• Argentina: Proms are for students finishing their last year of high school. A big party in a local disco and school leavers usually wear a costume to be identified.
• United Kingdom: Proms were unheard of until the late 1990s. It was believed to start in Cambridge where every school in the area had a special “School ball.”
• France: Some schools or universities hold “gala” which are held as social event each year gathering newly graduates and newly entering students.
• Germany: Students celebrate their graduation from high school with an “Abi-Party” or an “Abi-Ball”. They are not compelled to wear tuxedos or dresses.
• Italy: The equivalent is known as “Mak ? 100″ because it takes place 100 days before the students’ graduation in high school. It is not a formal event, and the students will often perform shows making a parody of their teachers.
• India: The equivalent is a farewell party. Students are given a warm send-off by the junior students with souvenirs and outstanding students are given awards.
• South Africa: The equivalent is the Matric Dance. It takes place during the final year of high school. It usually takes the form of a formal dinner and dance. In most schools the 11th grade class is responsible for arranging the event.

If you are organizing a prom, now you know that you are not alone in that task. Thousands of people around the world are doing the same with clear cultural differences. But what is certain is that if we talk about a formal event we will for sure need to talk about decoration as well. Flowers, as in any other event today, have become increasingly important for decoration and even as part of the attire. The days of crepe-paper are over so the venue has to be decorated accordingly and what can be better than flowers to do the job!
