I have 4 flower girls (2 younger, 2 older) and my wedding is tropical. I would like 2 of them to toss shells (instead of flowers) and I need a job for the other 2 - any unique suggestions??
Thanks!
Can my flower girl do something besides toss flower petals down the aisle?
first of all shells would be very difficult for everyone else in the wedding party to walk on and once the ceremony is over your guests are going to be walking up the aisle and trying not to ankle over on these shells. you should rethink that idea.
at our end of the world you are not allowed to toss anything, including flower petals, because of the huge cleaning up it requires after the services. the time and expense are issues.
so we have had to do away with that idea.
instead our flower girls, and junior bridesmaids, each carried a small nosegay and when they each arrived at the appropriate aisle, stopped and presented the nosegay to the mother of the groom, the mother of the bride, and the grandmothers of the groom and bride. the girls took it upon themselves to drop a little curtsey as they presented the bouquets - everybody loved it.
it might be something you want to think about.
two of the girls were three and four years old respectively, and the other two were six and seven. they all managed beautifully.
good luck on your wedding day and have a great married life.
Reply:tossing shells? that doesn't sound like a good idea. what if they got too zealous with the tossing and hit one of your guests? kids aren't very predictable!
our flower girls didn't toss anything, they just carried tiny bouquets and walked down the aisle before the bridesmaids.
giving out leis is a good idea though.
Reply:My wedding is in the park and i decided that i want my girls to blow bubbles. I thought about them holding candles but the wind is only going to turn them off but maybe thats something you can use and if not you can always google your question or something. You never know what you might find. Good luck!
Reply:The only advice I can recommend is SKIP THE SHELLS. Just think of people stepping on them and grinding the bits and pieces into the carpet of the church!!! Oh, no!!
And the flower girls don't have to "toss" anything...they can just carry flowers. My flower girl was too young to understand the concept, so I just gave her a basket bouquet and she was thrilled. So have the younger ones carry the flowers and the older ones toss the petals or something along those lines perhaps.
Reply:I'm getting married in July and am having 4 flower girls, all under the age of 4. I think for the younger girls it's easier to have them blow bubbles because they can grasp the concept of blowing bubbles as being fun, whereas with the throwing flowers they just get confused.
Reply:You realize that you will be walking on these shells, right? That will be uncomfortable and could lead to a serious fall or injury. Tossing shells, while unique and cute, just doesn't seem very sensible.
As for other ideas... they could blow bubbles down the aisle or toss streamers or something. But flower girls generally do what their title indicates... throw or carry flowers.
Reply:The job of the flower girl is to toss flower petals. Maybe you have two too many if you don't have anything for them to too. If you must have the two extra why don't you have them toss (or pass) tropical flowers ( or fake lays) to the guests (just on the aisle) for a nice souviner.
Reply:Well when my cousin had her wedding 2 years ago the flower girls were supposed to drop the peddles right before the bride entered (the usual) well anyway they got confused and after the wedding was over and the bride and groom were walking down the isle hand and hand, the flower girls behind started throwing the peddles up in the air as they were leaving it was SO cute! so what you should do is right when your pronounced husband and wife and start walking back to the end of the church have the girls follow you and have them throw flowers up in the air. It's really cute. Well anyway hope I' helped. Hope it goes well!
Reply:They can toss Lei's
Reply:I was a flower girl when I was younger, I didn't throw anything, just carried flowers. Their is no requirement that they have to throw anything. Keep in mind everyone is going to be walking on that aisle, and probably don't want to be stepping and crushing shells.
Maybe you should just have them toss tropical flower petals if you really want them to all have a job. It's not creative, but more practical.
Reply:Unless you are getting married on the beach, have them pick up the shells, because someone is going to have to do it. And I don't think you want to be crunching over shells when you walk down and back! If you are getting married on the beach, have the younger two blow bubbles.makeup tips

Stem to flowers on tomato plants turn yellow and the flower dies What to do?
why does the stem to the flowers on my tomato plants turn yellow and the flower dies?
Stem to flowers on tomato plants turn yellow and the flower dies What to do?
The plant is protecting itself, and it does so by dropping the flowers. Something is stressing the plant and it can be as simple as the night time temps are not high enough yet to set fruit or it may have a virus. It would take a ton of information to even begin to guess at the problem.
Reply:The plant probably has a fungus. A lot of tomato varieties are succeptible to virus and fungus diseases. I doubt if there's anything to be done about it. If you don't want to toss them and start over call the county extension service, take them a sample and they can confirm what you've got. Usually its not worth the time and expense of treating a diseased plant. But that's up to you.
Next year try a different variety than you planted this year. Or plant antique or heritage seeds.
Reply:Dont know I,m having same problem, so cant wait to get your answers!!!
Reply:It sounds like the branch has been broken, or you needed to put a collar of paper or cardboard down where the plant comes out of the ground, so the cut worms can't chew the stem.
Reply:Without looking at plants it sounds like you may be are giving them too much water. Tomatoes don't need to be watered every day if in pots. Too much water, if plants survive, will cause your fruit to burst open when ripe. Cut back just to keep soil moist, not soaking. Also if in ground, water late at nite. If ground is wet during hottest time of day, it will steam plants. Water when it has enough time to soak deap in ground before sun hits them. Hope this helps and good luck!
Reply:your tomato plant is dying Either to much water or not enough, Is it in a very sunny area it needs lots of sun
Reply:many things can cause the plant to start dying,
if you water in the morning, or noon, try watering in the evening, you can scorch the plant if it is too hot when you water
try plant food, or adding soil to the dirt there planted in, as they may not be getting enough nutrition
see if there are any bugs eating off the tomato plant, this can also kill itbooks authors

Flower bulbs?
hi i was wondering about flower bulbs
the shops and people who sell flower bulbs Where do they get them? how are they made? where do you find them?
Thanks
Flower bulbs?
The mother plant when in the dirt produces Baby bulbs.. which are then dug up and sold....The roots of the plant produce the bulbs.. If you plant say a tulip bulb in your garden in spring if you dig it up in fall you will find more little bulbs attached to the roots of the tulip you planted.... Hope that helps..
Reply:Billy Ray has nailed this question. Follow his advise...it is really good and well thought out.
Reply:come from holland,one bulb will make 2 in a season and they come from the ground
Reply:there not made they are grown and depending on what breed and speciman you want they come from all over the world and shipped in to us but most are home grown hope this clears up your little query
Reply:Sadly enough, they are about the only thing I can grow (the ones that dont have to be lifted in the fall of course)....I dont have a green thumb

Reply:They get them from wholesale bulb farms, either in the United States or Holland. The growers have acres upon acres of colorful bulbs from which they harvest yearly to supply the demands of the gardener. Many bulbs need a "cooling" period to produce, so most of the farms are in locations that experience cold weather for a certain length of time during the winter months. The Northwest area of the U.S. has many such farms (Oregon %26amp; Washington). When in bloom, these bulb fields produce an array of beautiful colors and are very spectacular indeed! Here is a link with pics of one such farm located in Washington state. Holland is one of the largest exporters of bulbs in the entire world. The U.S. is close behind.. Here are the links....

Flower in hair on wedding day?
This is a little poll... if you wore a flower for your wedding, was it real or silk?
Would silk look cheap? Know any online stores that sell nice flower clips?
Thanks!
Flower in hair on wedding day?
I know many people on here think silk flowers look cheap. I asked about silk flowers once and I got about 40 answers all but about 6 said silk flowers are tacky. A great deal of our budget is going to floral decoration because of our wedding theme. We both have bad allergies and are getting silk. Although having our eyes red and swollen would make for some interesting photos LOL but no..
I say silk. Due to my allergies and what someone else saying about it dying and withering before the ceremony.
I'm searching for a site for you now.
The clips on this site are really pretty:

Reply:I used silk flowers for my wedding (except the flowers in the church), including my bouquet. If you get a high quality flower they look great. My flowers were as expensive as some people's real ones.
My friend wore a flower in her hair for her wedding and she looked beautiful. Her's was real.
Reply:For your hair, use silk. You don't want to have to worry about damaging it every time you or someone else touches your hair.
Reply:I'm wearing a single, realistic silk flower. It doesn't look cheap.
Go to Claire's. They have really good ones.
Reply:I'm thinking about wearing flowers but i'm gonna do silk only because a real one might die by the time we get to the reception. But I know a real flower would look alot nicer.skin disease

A hearty flower to plant.?
I live in Ohio. I am wanting to plant some flowers this year with my 6 year old daughter. I need something that is hearty. (I am terrible with flowers) I will be planting outdoors in a flower garden that already has mulch. (we live in an apartment complex) Any help would be appreciated. I am hoping to teach my daughter better gardeining skills than I have. LOL
A hearty flower to plant.?
I've had a lot of luck with begonias. I start in May and they last til the first frost. I trim them back once and while so they stay nice. They don't need much care--just watering.
Reply:Try the Wave Petunias they grow so fast and they spread out and are beautiful all summer long in your area!
Reply:marigolds are great....also try vinca (aka periwinkle), both are heat tolerant and will flower all summer...the marigold you should remove spent blooms, but it's a good lesson for your daughter. good luck
Reply:inpatients,marigolds petunias,these are the most common and very easy to take care of
Reply:Marigolds are an easy one to start with they come in all colors of yellow and brown and some red highlights. They will grow in full sun just water once in awhile, from the bottom and take scissors and cut off wilted blossoms to keep them blooming.computer

Flower deliveries to hospitals in UK?
Do any of you know of a company that deliver flowers to patients in hospitals in the UK? Interflora dont. Cant think of other flower delivery companies.
Flower deliveries to hospitals in UK?
If the hospital allows flowers in their wards, try www.bunches.co.uk. Never had a problem with them delivering and they guarantee delivery next day if ordered by certain time day before.
Reply:wild flowers it will stimulate there youth.
Reply:Send a card for now, then when the patient gets out of hospital, have the flowers waiting for them at home as a home coming gift, you can order flowers on line with any local florist, as long as you have a credit card, also call a few as the cost varies and you might save some money, merry Christmas.
Reply:Try "NEXT " stores there every where
I had some delivered just this morning
Reply:Some hospitals don't accept flowers in the wards - I would check with the hospital first %26amp; this is possibly why interflora won't deliver.
Reply:no
Reply:Waitrose.com do the best quality flowers on the market. They may cost a little more but they last a lot longer.

you can even order online.
Reply:All hospitals are stopping flowers from being taken in next year to help prevent the spread of MRSA. I think delivery companies will be phasing it out. You could always go on to yell.com and see if you can find a florist near the hospital who will deliver.
Reply:I did have some flowers delivered to a hospital patient only a year ago... I don't know whether it was Interflora that did it or not, but I simply went to my local florist's and she arranged it for me. Hope this helps, good luck!

Reply:A lot of hospital wards don't allow fresh flowers any more, because of germs or something, so you might find there isn't a company that will deliver there.
Reply:Marks and Spencer are by far the best for this. you can order online and they can deliver usually next day. Hope this helps! I know for a fact they deliver to Hospitals.
Reply:You will find that hospitals will not allow flowers (fresh) because of other patients on the ward. You can take flowers but they will put them in a room with other flowers what have been sent.
Reply:Hi - unfortunately most hospitals have now adopted a 'no flowers' policy, at least not on the wards. Uoud be best off checking with the hospital first, dont want to waste your money!
If its for someone that works in the admin team, or you get the OK, then the local Interflora will be able to help xx
