Well, maybe, especially if she's adding special touches to her parties using flowers. Flowers are a simple and inexpensive way to make your parties beautiful, exciting, and the talk of your neighborhood. Of course there are the traditional ways to use flowers, like arrangements in vases and baskets or floral centerpieces, but there are also endless possibilities for other uses. Your florist can help you create any of the following floral party decorations: * Punch up your punch: An ice ring is always lovely in a punch bowl, but imagine how much better it will be if there are brightly colored blooms frozen into it. Make certain you use washed, edible flowers; your florist can help you choose them. * Make your napkin rings into party favors: You can either ask your florist to make napkin rings from flowers, or you can buy a few extra flowers to match your center pieces and tuck them into folded napkins or napkin rings. You'll want to make certain you keep the flowers in some water until just before your guests arrive. You should also consult your florist to determine which blooms will work the best. * Make candles even brighter: Set your votive holders on a bed of petals. If you're using candlesticks, tie ribbons around them and tuck in a few blooms. Or, place large blooms in bowls with floating candles. * Pretty place cards: Your place cards can double as party favors. Place a small vase at each setting with a single bloom in it. Attach the place card to the vase using a ribbon, glue it directly to the vase, or tuck the card into the blossom. To make certain your flower decorations are as fresh and beautiful as possible, ask to have them delivered the day of the party. If they must be delivered the day before, store them in a cool place-but not one that will reach below 35 degrees. Avoid drafts and direct sunlight. Make sure your flowers are not stored near fruit. Fruit emits ethylene gas, which can make your flowers wilt. Mist the flowers before storing them and cover them lightly with a thin piece of plastic. A bag from your dry cleaner will work perfectly for this purpose. Your florist can be a real asset in planning your party. Make sure you talk to him or her about what the occasion is and the atmosphere you're going for. Your florist is certain to be full of excellent ideas like the ones above, and may even have a few more. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers (http://www.wesleyberryflowers.com), a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
