    Hello sweetheart. I just found your video and l find it amazing for our health and environment. My question is how do l keep the humidity or water the the foam helps us to preserve.
    Thanks for sharing hon❤

    I do like that there's new ways to get away from foam.. my concerns are the fact flowers won't have a water supply without water tubes. Also, once you deliver flowers, quite often you get a few arrangements back after to reuse, but mainly brides want to keep or give away thier pieces. So reusing is often possible. You have amazing ideas and I can't wait to implement them in upcoming weddings! More videos please! Let's see your flower cuff!❤

      Thank you so so much for connecting! I totally understand your concern about the water source. I’ve found that compostable cups, like the ones you’d get from a restaurant supply store, work really well with some chicken wire. I’ve also used disguised buckets with greenery and eco-wraps. Thank you so much again for your support. I have a lot of videos in the works ✨🌿 Please let me know if there is anything else you’d like to see! The flower cuff video is coming 😉

      Have you heard of Rockwool?
      It's a water absorbent product made from volcanic rock. They spin threads of molten rock-similar to making cotton candy! It's used in seed starting & hydroponic gardening. I was wondering if it could be used as an alternative to floral foam as I watched these videos, so I did a search.
      There's a new product made from Rockwool that's an eco-friendly floral foam. You can learn more about it here: www.roskam.com.au/products-page/natural-floral-foam/natural-floral-foam/
      I haven't tried it yet, but it might work for your projects.

    Hi Rachel! Since I’m still young I still don’t understand how florists get their flowers? I want to be a florist when I grow up but I need to learn more🌷🌷🌷😊😊😊

    I make artificial floral Centerpieces. I don’t really know what I could use other than foam. I jus started making these.

    Hi Rachel. Thanks for your videos. I wish I had started at the age that you did, but now I am a midlifer and am starting floral design as a hobby but also hope to get better at it so that I can do it full time when I retire. Thanks for this information. What would you recommend using for sympathy wreaths in place of the foam base?
