Harvest and Dry Flowers for Year-round Enjoyment

Try laying them face down on a flat surface.  Simply cut off the stem and place the flowers face down on newspaper in a warm, dry location.  Once dried, you can glue them in place or use florist wire to create stems for arranging.And don’t forget to pick a few seedpods from perennials and ornamental grasses.  These have dried, for the most part, on the plants and make great additions to your dried flower arrangements and projects.Consider taking a trip to your local florist or craft store for more ideas and materials for drying delicate flowers.  Silica sand works well for delicate blossoms like iris as well as roses, mums and more.  Simply fill the bottom inch of a container with silica sand.  Remove all but an inch of the flower stem. Place the flower, stem side up or on its side, on the surface of the silica sand.  Gently pour silica sand over the flowers until completely covered.  Follow label directions.  Most flowers dried this way maintain their beauty when dried in the silica sand. Just use a small paint brush to gently remove any remaining sand.Test flowers for dryness before putting them in an arrangement or storing for future use. Carefully rub a piece of the flower between your fingers. If it feels dry it is ready to use. If it still feels moist, continue letting them dry.Store extra dried flowers in a location with low humidity and away from direct sunlight. Consider wrapping with newspaper or kraft paper to prevent crushing and place in a box until needed.Whichever drying method you choose, the result is the same – year-round enjoyment of your garden’s beauty.Melinda Myers is the author of more than 20 gardening books and is the host of The Great Courses’  How to Grow Anything DVD series.  Her website, www.MelindaMyers.com, offers gardening tips and videos. ... http://rockfordsquire.com/2018/08/23/harvest-and-dry-flowers-for-year-round-enjoyment/

A Florist's Romantic Wedding at Ryland Inn

December 2013 and hit it off nearly nine years later. After dating for another four years, John suggested they take a trip to California to celebrate Valentine's Day. (The bride is a florist at Twisted Willow Flowers and it was the first holiday she was taking off from her shop, so it was an occasion to celebrate on its own.) But John had other plans in mind when we proposed at the La Jolla cove in San Diego on February 11, 2017.Just over a year later, on March 23, 2018, the couple invited 142 to celebrate with them at Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. "We have worked events there and the staff, service, and food are just incredible," says the florist bride. "We chose the coach house for its eclectic rustic feel!" And, of course, the flowers were important to Amanda and John. "Flowers were super important in the overall vision for the day," she explains. "We really wanted to make it feel like spring with blooms, even though the temperature outside didn’t agree. There was a massive snowstorm two days before the wedding!" But, despite the weather, the bride and groom filled the space with so many bright blooms and warmly-lit candles that it nearly felt like a spring day inside the inn's rustic cottage. So if you're a fan of b... https://www.brides.com/story/a-florists-romantic-wedding-at-ryland-inn
