Just discovered your channel when I searched for "how to use a flower frog." I am hooked!! I love listening to you and love the concept of this show. Right up my alley-two of my favorite things! 😍 🌻🥃
Welcome to Blossoms and Bourbon! It’s great to have you and I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos! Keep watching for more new content! Do you have a favorite bourbon? Cheers!
@@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075 I've watched almost all of your videos now... please keep making more! You should have many more subbies than you do :)
Mark, I'm a little late to the party but I'm just now seeing your interesting and well-done videos! I appreciate your informative demonstrations, interesting narratives and clear step-by-step processes - AND that you "cut to the chase" without any unnecessary lead-in commentary. Great job! I'm looking forward to watching more!
Hello dear Esther!! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!! I'm so happy to have you as part of my viewership and look forward to any feedback you might have for me! And, please feel free to share the channel with any of your "flower friends" that you think might enjoy these! Take care and I hope to see you soon! Mark
Never though grocery store flowers could look that great Mark. Now my question is how do the floral arrangements look if you have the bourbon tasting first? Definitely enjoyed this. I’d love some tips on making bridal bouquets for bridal portraits.
Hey Robin! First of all, I’m thrilled that you have fresh flowers in your home every day! And, secondly, I’m super excited to have you following along and glad you enjoyed the first episode! Stay tuned for more floral fun! 😂
Thanks Lisa! There is not a specific rule per se, but when establishing the overall height and width of the design, you can use 1-1/2 times the height of the container! Thanks for watching! Hope to see you on the next one too!
Great video, will use your recommendations. I have a ton of questions. Are there grocery store flowers which should be avoided? What flowers last the longest? Flower height and width in contrast to container. Not a fan of bourbon but watched the whole segment and learned something! Thanks!
Thanks, Lonnie! As for which last the longest, typically alstromeria, carnations, mini carnations, mums, to name a few. Bulb flowers aren’t the longest lasting but are some of my favorites (tulips, Iris, daffodils). The typical height for an arrangement is 1-1/2 times the height of the container. And I’m planning another episode to show you how to challenge that rule! 😂. Thanks for joining us and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you on the next one in two weeks!
Hi Stephanie. Yes, it is a specific type. We refer to it as "anchor tape" or "waterproof floral tape"and it comes in clear, dark green and white (for different applications!). I'm working on an affiliate link so that I can share some of the products here that I use in my videos. I'm sure a quick Google search would help you find a reasonable source! Thank you so much for watching! Mark

wow, that's really beautiful, and much nicer than just being plopped into a vase. I like that shorter cube, which was perfect!
Thank you! I love working in the glass cubes. They are very versatile! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Chris! Appreciate you tuning in! I do plan to address bridal bouquets in a future episode! Thanks again!!
Love this Mark!!! I recently started buying grocery flowers weekly and this was a helpful lesson!

great job Mark. you are an expert florist and drinker. :)
😂😂😂. Thank you kindly, sir!!
Mark, is there a formula to determine how long to cut the stems? (stem to container ratio?) Loved it!!
Thanks Lisa! There is not a specific rule per se, but when establishing the overall height and width of the design, you can use 1-1/2 times the height of the container! Thanks for watching! Hope to see you on the next one too!
Karl, is a rye fan and he really enjoyed the whole video.
So glad to hear it! Appreciate you watching the video!! What’s Karl’s favorite rye bourbon or whiskey?
Right now he is a Knob Creek rye whiskey guy.

Is the tape a specific type of floral tape or just skinny tape?
