Question from Tina:
I’m having trouble trying to figure out how to use magnolia leaves in my centerpieces, with or without flowers. Also I would like ideas on how to use
ivy on my bridal party tables.
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Tina. Magnolia’s are very beautiful. Whether you use the leaves or not, depends upon what you do with the flowers—although I always think that some greenery always enhances the look of a flower arrangement. Have you considered one magnolia head floating is a bowl of water, with water activated lights? Could be quite stunning!
As for using ivy, if you have a large vase, you can use it to trail over the edges slightly. You can use a “string” of ivy artfully draped around your centrepiece.
Have you spoken to your florist? They have hundreds of pictures and many ideas from all the weddings they have done. They are THE expert when it comes to flowers, and if you aren’t utilizing their skill, you are missing out on the best part of hiring a florist.
Good luck and feel free to email again.
