So, although dying roses didn't go as planned, they did get some color on then, and an overall blue sheen that you can't really see in the picture (the phone picks up the blame for that). But they did last quite a while and I just threw the last of them away this morning. I will probably try again, with younger, very tight roses, and see if that goes better.
The flowers last week were quite lovely; there were many compliments from what I hear. I worked with the white roses, some lilies, tulips, and greens. The altar got the full production with foam, ribbon, and such. The vase went on the welcome center, and the cute little silver pitcher is on one of the other tables.
One of the beauties of tulips is that if you have the right amount for your container, you can just put them in, and they will drape beautifully. They'll give you a nice, classic look with little effort--just make sure you clean and hydrade them well ahead of time. These cleaned and hydrated these the day before and by morning they stood up straight.
