Today's flower tip is a double-whammy, since there wasn't one last week. Enjoy!
#3: Some Flowers Keep the Bugs Away
Marigolds are most popular for this treat! Plant them around your tomato plants in the summer and they'll keep the aphids away. Garlic, Sage, Thyme and Rosemary are also known to keep the bugs away - although these are rarely, if ever, used in floral arrangements.
#4: Some "flowers" are not flowers at all
A lot of floral arrangements, especially in recent years, incorporate non-floral elements for a touch of elegance, a garden feel, or to save money. Check out this ribbon bouquet, featured by Martha Stewart,
or this bouquet that incorporates cabbage and artichokes featured by The Knot,
or this bouquet (also from Martha) which incorporates fruits and flowers (I did this at my own wedding).
People also often incorporate brooches,
(this photo here on The Knot) either on their bouquet wrap, or in their flowers.
Fake leaves, feathers, and all sorts of glitz are added to arrangements to make them POP. Whatever your theme, make sure your flowers are a representation of YOU!
