New Twist on an Old Standard
"I think wedding work is one of the most difficult areas for florists. The designs can be time-consuming and the pressure to meet client's expectations is often times intense. But weddings are also a tremendous opportunity for the florist to really show off his/her creativity and express the bride's individual style," says Susan.
"For this design, I wanted to try a new twist on an old standard for weddings - the pew marker. I inserted a LOMEY® Pew Holder into a STYROFOAM® cone, wrapped in fabric for a dramatic statement," continued Susan. "I can't imagine doing a wedding without LOMEY® products. The quality is the best around, and no matter what idea I come up with, I know there's a product that will be perfect for the job."
Materials needed:
STYROFOAM® cone* 12"
LOMEY® Pew Holder* Large
OASIS® Hot Melt Glue
Fabric and ribbon in your choice of complementary colors
Pearl-Head Straight Pins

How to put it together
|
 |
- Wrap a 12" STYROFOAM* cone with fabric cut to size and secure edges with pins.
|
 |
- Starting at the top, wrap the cone with ribbon, braiding in the front and pin with a pearl-head straight pin.
|
 |
- Soak the LOMEY* Large Pew Holder until foam is completely saturated (about one minute) and add flowers.
|
 |
- Attach the Pew Holder to the Cone with hyacinth stakes, secured with OASISŪ Hot Melt Glue.
|
|
|
- This pew marker, made with a fabric-wrapped STYROFOAMŪ cone topped with lovely flowers makes a dramatic statement.
