them. After watching this video, you will be
able to quickly arrange flowers to give a friend,
make better use of flowers in your garden, and best

Did we say "fix?" Yes.
For example Deborah Dolen teaches around the holidays, some floral stores
will just deliver a dozen roses in a vase and not
de-thorn or de-foliate them. Roses must be de-thorned to absorb water and to live much longer.
They must also have any leaves removed that are under
water level to ensure the longest pleasure. An
aspirin is the best to add to any fresh arrangement, and
changing the water every few days will expand the life of
a floral arrangement. Designers
are people with a desire to create. Our video's are
designed to pull the designer out in you.
Floral Design in Vases
with Deborah Dolen is a
one hour DVD so packed full of critical
information, we had to make designing in containers a
second DVD. We created a very affordable price
of $19.95 for each. Designing in containers, the
second DVD Video, means a person
is using Oasis, or "water foam" as the base for the
flowers. These
Floral Design DVD's Video's are excellent even if your
only goal is to create beautiful ensembles from your own
garden, or to tastefully arrange flowers purchased at a
farmer's market or from a wholesale floral company.
If you have a friend who owns a floral shop, you will be
qualified to help come holiday season. Excellent
for shops who would like to train their staff. Once you grasp the basic elements of floral design,
with Deborah Dolen, you
will be able to throw together fabulous presentations in
minute. You will also learn what types of flowers
last the longest, what are the most requested, what are
greens, and how do you select them, and so much more. Our videos emphasize fresh flowers, but
also take time to demonstrate silk design and what slight
differences exist between arrange a fresh floral design as well
as a silk design. They are very alike when it comes
to design. Deborah Dolen also also teaches you how to make fabulous
bows in minutes.
Nothing
illuminates a room like tastefully arranged flowers.
Unfortunately, most of us don't know how to display
flowers properly, or aim to buy longer lasting varieties,
and they often end up clumsily thrown together in a vase.
