Recently I was asked to do an H for a wedding covered with flowers. Then about three weeks after the wedding I was ask to do the letter A.... The Alabama A for a funeral. So this is how we did it. 1) First find the letter you want and enlarge to desired size. Trace it and cut the pattern in cardboard. 2) Using a sculpting sheet cut out your letter by laying cardboard on styrofoam (sculpting sheets are 24X24 sheet of styrofoam and wet foam) 3) If you have to use more than one sheet pin together with dixon pins and wood pics. 4) Now soak your foam with water.

 What a beautiful day and a beautiful bride.  Jessica and Josh were married on the Saturday before Easter. It was a perfect day for a outside wedding with blue sky's. The setting was Pebble Hill Plantation , if you have never visited it is worth the ride. The ceremony took place on the tennis court, surround by old brick walls covering in trailing vegetation. We placed a H covered with flowers on the wrought iron gate as the vocal point. Jessica carried a hand held cluster of peonies. The reception followed at the stables under majestic oak trees. The tables were covered in white linens with lanterns and several small vases of blue hydrangeas on each one. Our wishes go out to Jessica and Josh for a wonderful future together. Many blessings to you both. acountryrosewedding.com

These beautiful blooms are popular for there large, showy heads, comprising of dense clusters of small petal-like sepals. Hydrangeas are available in whites, pinks, lilacs, blues, and  greens. They are available all year-round as cut flowers. Peak season is from March to October. Cut hydrangeas are heavy drinkers and require lots of water. So check the level of you water daily and re-cut the stems every other day. Frequent misting is also beneficial for the flowers at room temperature.  If they do wilt, no worry just put the seems in almost boiling water for about 30 seconds and place back in water and watch them as they come back to life. Vase life for the hydrangea is 7 to 10 days.
