What lasts longer on my wedding day, a hand-tied bouquet or a bouquet in a holder?
When they are well made, both kinds of bouquets will last for the duration of the wedding and reception. A hand-tied bouquet has small wires attached to the stems of the flowers to ensure that they do not wilt in the sun. Many flowers work well in a hand-tied design. However certain flowers and foliage cannot be used unless they are inserted in individual vials of water because they will collapse without moisture. A bouquet in a holder (which has water in it) allows the design to be more versatile and utilize more delicate plant material. A good florist will be sure that the flowers you select are appropriately arranged to last through your special day.
