I may never make a single one of these, however, your commentary is worth tuning in for all together. Your typed comments make me laugh out loud every single time and I often have to rewatch because I've missed half of it 🤣. You bishs keep it up ❤
Hahaha, I'm so thrilled! I just got a comment asking why I felt the need to use such distasteful and unnecessary language so this is the encouragement I needed to continue my floral debauchery. 🤣
Love your work, your explanations, the fact you demonstrate non foam techniques and your funny on screen notes!! X
OMG I love you and your tutorials! Absolute perfection! Thank you!!!
I'm so glad you found our lovin' arms!
I've been waiting for this one!! Your videos are soooo helpful!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I was low-key dreading this one because there are so many factors to consider I knew it would be long-winded. XOXOX
I’m so excited about this!! I’m a calligrapher and using flower moxie for my wedding next month so I need this!!
You are so good at this!
Absolutely beautiful! Precisely what I was looking for.👏❤❤❤❤ Thank you.
I'm so glad you found our lovin' arms!
I love your stinkin comments!!!! And the arrangement is beautiful
Thank you so much! Tutorials can be boring as all get out so I feel those jazz it up and softens my awkwardness. XXXX, Amy
Thank you for this tutorial . As always … very helpful and very entertaining!
Thank you for being here, Rosemary! XXXX, Amy
Your comments were cracking me up and earned you a new subbie! Thanks for the laughs and beautiful design inspiration! 😊
Loving and learning so much from all of your great tutorials! You are amazing to share all this knowledge and experience, I've done flowers for weddings before but I'm learning so much for this upcoming one I'm about to do. Thank you so much and I also love the written funny commentary as well!
Thank you so much for the kindness and encouragement, I'm so glad it helps your floral journey!!! XXXX, Amy
You came to my rescue! Thank you so much! I have lost sleep over this!
Oh, me too! Signs always made my armpits spicy! XXXX, Amy
Hello I'm James from Dallas Texas and I'm watching you oh God just about three in the morning I at one time watched you once before or twice before I rewatch everything I love the flowers you're using and the eucalyptus one of my favorite things are stock roses of course it's kind of a romantic swag you got going there but I thank you for sharing like watching certain people and you're one of them happy holidays it is right now December 1st 2022 and it's actually 12:59 a.m. so really enjoying watching you
What a nice thing to say! I'm so glad you found our channel, James. XXX, Amy
You are hilarious! Love this tutorial. This is will help me plenty on my sign. Thank you!
I'm so glad!!! Thank you for your kind comment and for not calling me a ho. lolllllll
Just came across your tutorial. All business in front of the camera, and hilarious, what we really want to say, behind 😂. GREAT tutorial and so informative. Love it!!
We're so glad you found us! Welcome!
This tutorial was spot on for me this last weekend !! Thank you !!
Oh good!!!! Which method did you have to use?!!?!? People kept asking me for a sign video but I kept thinking "Each one is different so I'm gonna have to teach 10 methods!"
@@FlowerMoxie I had just enough space at the top/middle of the swag to zip tie it to the easel and back fill with roses and succulents to fill the gap :)
@@amandakostick3018 Oh nice, I love that!!!!! XXXXX
Love your tutorials! I'm doing my niece's wedding flowers in November, your tutorial gave me a few really good hints, especially as I haven't been in floristry for quite a few years now..am much more confident after watching, thanks heaps
I'm so glad it helped, signs can be intimidating! Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind comment. XOXO, Amy
Thank you!
You're so welcome! XXX, Amy
Super helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Me being the designer I've always loved Christmas❤
Girl…..thank you!!!!!
So glad I could help! XO
Bonito detalle 😍💐
That would be wonderful above an entrance. Or even a mirror.
Thank you, sweet lady!
Hi Amy! Love your videos! Do you have a tutorial on how to make a garland for, say, a rope swing? Thanks!
If you want it really hardcore, then I would just use Sam's Club pre-made garland. But for a rope swing, I feel you could get away with Italian ruscus and wraping some bind wire around the the rope to hold it in place.
Italian Ruscus is about 3ft per strand, so I would just double it up.
Watching the video and thinking on the second sign could you have done a bottom swag? . just a thought and I am just learning so I think you're amount of details in the video are invaluable l..so could you do another if you already didn't with bottom and side swags? Thank you for your videos they are really helpful!
Thank you so much!! I love your tutorial and the arrangement. Your video really help me. But May I know what kind of flowers you use?
I love the way you show your work❤ it’s easy to follow 😊can I copy your unplugged ceremony? For my daughter’s wedding?😊
We'd consider it an honor! We love being able to share the process and make it easier for our viewers to recreate on their own! We're sure that you're going to do an amazing job with your daughters wedding!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I always struggle with these things!
Yup, as a new florist I was always underestimating these kinds of jobs.
Thank you! Mine were not as pretty cause I had to run! But I loved it.
I bet it was lovely!!
Loved this! So helpful. Could this swag be displayed from the bottom instead? Any advice for mechanics or design shape? I am not sure what the easel will look like since the funeral home is providing it. 24x30 inch frame - sitting vertically. Funeral is Tuesday, can I prep Monday morning and have flowers still looking fresh? Thank you!
For sure! I would use a Small Oasis Iglu if you're going to make it the day before. You can use putty to stick it to the sign and maybe try to secure it with some wire. XXX, Amy
❤
Thank you for being here!
Thanks. It’s really a help. I actually love the frame with the pale pink writing. Can you tell us what material you used? Is it glass? How did you achieved the pinky ends? Many thanks
Ah, thank you, Leah! This is my employee's wedding sign that I think she had made on Etsy. It is glass so I have no idea how they shipped it successfully, but I think that's something you could make. You'd buy a frame that comes with glass, paint the color on the back and the writing on the front???
@@FlowerMoxie good idea. Thanks
very helpful tutorial! How long would you envision the first floral spray to last without water source? Do you use a hydration chamber method to make in advance, then hydrate? I sometimes find myself reverting to the little oasis pods out of concern for hydration....
Ah, good question! I'm with you on using an Oasis pod because it holds the product while providing hydration at the same time.
I have never used the hydration chamber for sign florals, but I would imagine it would work great! The only conflict would be the stem length and your chamber size.
Mainly, I try to use hardy blooms that can hang out for several hours without a water source, so things like roses, carnations, cushion flowers, stock or snaps, and going heavy on greens if the vibe calls for it.
Do not nervous poop. Solid advice.
Def like-buttoned this one before I watched, and I was right 😙 You have been so helpful to me and I really appreciate it!
Question: do you have a video on using/prepping/conditioning Silverdust Dusty Miller (Cineraria)? It’s perennial in my garden so I have huge ones (that’s what she said) and have a baby shower for my nephew coming up where I would love to utilize it. I’ve used it in plenty of arrangements at home and it’s great freshly picked but I’ve never traveled with it or used it in foam which would have to happen for the shower. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it for sale at my local flower shop either which makes me wonder about whether it will sh*t the bed.
Also, I have been given free rein on flowers for this one and was thinking of doing a blue on blue almost monochromatic thing with this recipe:
Dusty Miller
Olive greenery
Silver dollar euc
Blue thistle
Blue hydrangeas
Blue boy bachelor button (another from my garden that I never see on sale, will these bitch out?)
White lisianthus
Queen Anne’s lace (from my garden)
White hypericum
Baby’s breath
These will all be in low arrangements on a dark table in foam (except the hydrangeas which will be in a larger arrangement in water)
I tried to come up with decent textural contrast, but I’m worried it will look like a washed out blob and second guessing if I need to break it up with some dark green foliage and chartreuse filler flowers. Thoughts?
Thanks again for the amazing videos 🙃💐✨
Hello Kelli! Thank you for your kind words and for your question! Ok, so dusty miller can be a floppy bitch, but it works when you nestle it down into supporting flowers like hydrangea. My neighbor has some lambs ear and I'm always snipping some and it tends to be long-lasting but the stuff at wholesale can be pretty dang hit and miss, but as long as you nestle it then I think you'll be fine!
I'm a fan of monochormatic vibes right now! I think what you're planning sounds dreamy and I think the QAL will give it a really nice garden vibe! If you feel it's blobby then I'd add some soft buttery yellows like Yellow Stock, but I'd hold off on making that call until I made my first centerpiece.
So Button Boys, which we call Cornflower down in Okie-land, look delicate but when I pluck them out of my garden I find them long-lasting. When I've bought them from wholesale it's hit and miss, but I'd still go for it!
My advice on foam is to have a trash stem to make the hole before inserting the delicate blooms. That way, the 'good stem' is not clogged with foam on the end and can drink better. Does that make sense?
@@FlowerMoxie You are welcome, and thank YOU! 💙✨ I am so grateful for you sharing your wisdom and experience, as well as your ideas! I love the thought of maybe throwing some butter yellow into the mix - my inspiration was sort of a blue sky and clouds thing and I think the yellow would work so much better with that than any of the greens I was considering, so I am definitely going to keep that in mind if I feel that the monochromatic-ish blues aren’t coming together.
And I’m so glad to know that my garden grown stuff has the potential to work in “real” arrangements and not just the vase on my table. I don’t know why I always get nervous about that - I mean, a flower I picked this morning should be a lot sturdier and longer lasting than one that has traveled the world in multiple vehicles! So thank you for the confidence boost - apparently I needed it 😅
The trash stem pre-poking of the foam totally makes sense as well - that is an awesome tip that I will definitely be using.
Thank you so much again for taking the time to respond so thoughtfully to my huge rambling post - you are so appreciated! 💐🙂
Where did you purchase the ease from? Pretty swag, thanks for sharing.
You can find them at Hobby Lobby or Michaels!
@@FlowerMoxie Thank you.
Hi!! I have a question! If i am displaying photos on frame with clothes pins, will the water from floral foam cage drip onto my photos?? I want to recreate an arrangement like yours but afraid it ll ruin photos. Thank you!!!
That is a great question! Using a floral foam cage can cause some dripping to happen to you'll want to be careful of that with your photos. We recommend having your clothespins and florals in place and then attaching your photos last so they aren't damaged. Or you can create a floral swag that doesn't use a floral foam cage but you would want to create that on the day of the wedding!
Could I make this the day before and put it in the fridge?
Yes, that works!
Will they be thirsty? How far in advance can I make and set it up for the planner can take them to set up the space?
They'll do just fine if you put them out the day-of and use hardier blooms! XOXOX
What brand of Floral putty do you recommend?
I've never found any brand to be different than others. I've seen some florists who use white putty, but I've only seen the green at my wholesalers. And to be honest, right now, I'm happy when I am able to get my hands on any floral supplies because they've been so scarce since the pandemic.
How long in advance could I make this so that the flowers still look good for the big day of?
If you're going the swag route then I'd recommend making two bouquets and tying them together the day-of. So you can make the bouquets in advance and keep them in water, but you can't pull them out and tie them together until the event date. That allows you to work ahead, however!
For a foam pew holder or Iglu, you can make it the day before beginning to end!
So helpful!! How long in advance can you make this? Would it last if I made it the day before?
If you use a foam iglu cage you can make it the day before, just remember to re-wet the foam the following day and store it in a cool location or the fridge.
If you soak the igloo, how would you keep the water from dripping down the sign?
Great question! It will really only drip when you insert the flowers so you can lay a towel behind it as you build, or build it on something different and transfer it. I hate I forgot to address that! Thank you for asking!
@@FlowerMoxie thank you!!
Can these be made the day before and still look fresh the following day?
Yep! You'll want to keep the foam wet and make sure the stems are locked into the foam. I like to use a watering can or kitchen sink sprayer to re-wet the foam daily!
What are these beautiful blue flowers called? 😍
Delphinium!
@@FlowerMoxie Thanks ❤️
What kind of greenery is that?
Seeded Eucalyptus, baby! I reach for eucalyptus, ruscus, weeping podacarpus, and plumosa often when it comes to wedding signs. I like greenery that has some drape, and can be more linear and soft.
What kind of wide tape was that? Gaffer's tape?
Yup, and it's so hardcore, I lurve it! I think that's what frat boys use when they tape their buddies to the wall.
@@FlowerMoxie how hilarious!! Do you have a video about how to use it correctly?
@@SigningWithTheByrds I would use it to tape the wire to the back of the sign if I couldn't use a hook, nail, or command hook!
@@FlowerMoxie thank you. I understand. I can picture it. (No pun intended 😂)
I wanna drop kick my sign atm. Trying to do an artificial floral swag. Arghh.
I've been there, sis. I was even dreading this tutorial. 😂
@@FlowerMoxie but you did it so easily and it turned out so pretty! 😍
I think your designers are very very very very good however I'd like to see a little touch of male designing because they usually will go over the top they have better and fresh ideas as when it comes to design maybe you should add a few❤

Why do you have to add distasteful language in your words on screen. Not necessary!!
Hey Joyce, I like to put commentary that is funny to me on my tutorials. I do realize my sense of humor isn't a fit for everyone, however. Hopefully, you're able to ignore the humor that isn't for you and learn from my tutorials, if not, I'm pretty much the only floral channel out there with random commentary so I feel confident there are other floral channels you can learn from. I wish you the best! Amy
Makes me laugh.
