THE WIFE: Ordering Flowers
May 9th, 2009 — Domestic Goddess, Gifts
A Wife should know How to Properly Order Flowers.
NEVER order flowers online ( ie. Teleflora, FTD, Etc. )
ALWAYS do research when using a florist your not familiar with.
Always see what kind of website the Florist has, Most are terrible and the Arrangements are tasteless and tacky. My Rule of thumb is – When ordering flowers in a town you don’t know. Call a 5 Star hotel in the Area ( Example, The Four Seasons ) and ask which Florist they use for the Hotel.
BE SPECIFIC: To make sure a florist will deliver a tasteful arrangement. Be very Specific in what you want. I always make sure arrangements are in square pave glass vase. Choose 1 or 2 Specific flowers in a desired color, and make sure they NEVER use filler flowers ( Example Babies Breathe.. Yuck! ) My favorite florist is the Empty Vase in Los Angeles, I have been using them for years and all their arrangements look spectacular.
Examples:
GOOD
BAD
( Don’t even get me started on How awful this is….)

THE WIFE: Tie the Perfect Bow

How to Tie the Perfect Bow…
A good wife uses fabric ribbon when wrapping gifts for loved ones. It makes for much better presentation, Looking classic and elegant. I find Synthetic Ribbon doesn’t lay right and looks Tacky and Cheap. And when your done don’t Forget to clip the Ends in an upside down V shape. (Like in Image 4.) And Most of all practice maked perfect… So don’t get discouraged, Keep at it.
For fabric ribbon try:
