    How long did it take you to make one bouquet? How long do they last without water? Would you recommend making the bouquets the night before and keep it in the fridge?

    love your videos. Can you upload more videos to share? Thanks!

    I only use fresh flowers!

  4. josedesigns says:

    These are very fresh flowers. They don’t need water because they will be used that night and orchids are ok without water for several hours. Other flowers do not hold up well without water. Thanks!

    Just wanted to say that they are absolutely stunning, you have really inspired me for my bridal party bouquets. Keep it up x

  13. josedesigns says:

    From the video, you can see that the flower stem is cut very short. I leave 1/4 inch of the stem, then I insert the wire perpendicular to the flower bud, close to the junction of the stem and the bud. The wire then “becomes” the sturdy stem.

  14. thizizymhott says:

    When you say to put the wire through the stem do you mean up the stem or piercing through the side?

  15. janaluvsdaisies says:

    you are certainly talented..I do have a question for you, why is there green showing at the bottom of the nosegay? And how do you keep those flowers fresh if you dont have a walk in cooler?
    thanks for your help,

    omg! he’s awesome!

  17. josedesigns says:

    They are called Galax leaves. Good luck on your projects!

  18. thaixchik55 says:

    what is the name of the leaves that you are using?

  19. josedesigns says:

    I usually make everything the day before the event. But, I have a walk-in cooler which most people do not have. DO NOT place any flowers in the refrigerator. It is too COLD! You can make items the day before and store near an a/c unit or in a cool room/basement with the lights on and in a vase of water. Even though the flowers are in a bouquet or arranngement, they still need to drink. Spray boutinneres with water. Spray most flower bouquets, too, with a spray bottle.

    Good Luck! Jose
