Please name some flowers that would make a nice wedding bouquet?!?

I'm getting married Nov. 1st and a friend of my fiance's family said as our wedding gift she is going to pay/do all our flowers (yippy)! She has been asking about what flowers do I want in mine and my bridesmaids bouquets. I have no idea?! I know my colors are apple red, silver and white. I was thinking that my bridesmaids have white flowers (since they're dressed in red) and mine be red. Can you please give me some good floral arrangement ideas? Thanks!

Reply:I love Gerbers. I think that they are just the most beautiful flowers. Roses, Lilys, Tulips, would also be very beautiful.

I just ordered all my flowers (callas) from here for my august wedding.
Reply:roses are classic and lillys are pretty you could mix them together for your bouquet and your bridesmaids could do either or both or you could do a research and see what different flowers mean and pick which ones you feel more comfortable with
Reply:lillies and qypsophilia are beautiful and elegant...
Reply:Some ideas for flowers- roses,amaryallis flowers- in red, casablanca lillies,Gerber daisies and Red cala lillies or purple. These are a start and each are beautiful in their own way.
Reply:Roses are so over used! Try Stargazer lilies:

Plus, the fragrance is delightful!!!
Reply:My favorite wedding flowers are peonies and hydrangeas. They make a beautiful bouquet when mixed with lilies and roses. I would definitely consider the meaning of what flowers you choose for obvious reasons-

Math Combinations/Permutations Question?

A florist has to make a floral arrangement. She has 6 banksias, 5 wattles and 4 waratahs. All the flowers of each kind are different. In how many ways can the florist make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use at least 3 of each kind?



I know it has been asked before but the answer given was unclear. Any help appreciated thanks

Math Combinations/Permutations Question?
First 3 positiion = Banksias

So 6 x 5 x 4 = 120



Second 3 Positions = Wattles

5 x 4 x 3 = 60



Third 3 Positions = Waratahs

So 4 x 3 x 2 = 24



120 x 60 x 24 = 172800



There must be 3 banksias, 2 wattles and 1 waratah left to take last position

therefore 6 ways to take last space



So 172800 x 6

= 1036800
Reply:3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3 = Answer
Reply:for a bunch of 10 flowers ( at least 3 from each kind of A ( 6 ), B ( 5 ). C ( 4 ) ways are = C(4,4)*C(5,3)*C(6,3)

+ C(4,3)*C(5,4)*C(6,3)

+ C(4,3)*C(5,3)*C(6,4)

= 1*10*20 + 4*5*20 + 4*10*15

= 200 + 400 + 600

= 1200 ways
Reply:permutations are an ordered set without repititions. combinations are an unordered set of unique combinations. For example, both 2,3,5 and 3,2,5 are acceptable subsets of a permutation. However, a combination considers these to be the same subset.



In your case, with the flowers, either the question is very simple and the answer is three, or it's very complex and I don't feel like getting into it.
Reply:Basically you need to determine how many combinations per type of flower there are. Then you know you can "combine" those seperate "choices"/combinations together to get your 10 flowers.



So (6 choose 3) = # of ways to arrange those 6 flowers (# of ways to combine them/choose)



Do the same for the other two groups of flowers (5 choose 3) and (4 choose 3).



Finally you need to select 1 flower. We have already choose 9 of the total 15, so 6 are left. So the last flower would be (6 choose 1) which is 6.



So the total number of ways to choose 10 flowers would be:

(6 choose 3) * (5 choose 3) * (4 choose 3) * 6

Half Whiskey Barrel Fell Apart?

I have not used my half whiskey barrell for 2 years. I was told to store it upside down so it would't fall apart. When I picked it up, the whole thing came apart. I want to put it back together, but it keeps coming apart afer a few boards are put back in. Does anyone know how to fix this. Do I need to soak the boards before I try this to get them to swell up. Any help would be appreciated.



When my Dad died I was given a floral arrangement in this barrel, so it is special and I would really like to save it if possible. Any help would be deep appreciated.

Half Whiskey Barrel Fell Apart?
u mite need to soak the boards to get them to expand and then when soaked up enough try to put them bk together once it back to normal and the floral arrangement is in keep the wood soaked or wet it stops the boards drying out which will make the boards fall apart again. cant remember wot the opposite of expand was.
Reply:If you do get the barrell together you should put wire or a strip of metal around the barrell to hold it together so it won't come apart again.

What grabs your attention when ordering flowers, color,design, what?

Ive ask that question because I am a florist and this shop has experience growth this past year.

We want to stand out in the floral industry. We offer already other free services that other shops dont offer. Such as pictures of their arrangement or gifts sent to their emails , so they can enjoy the gifts as well. This has really made a difference with our customers. Some of our customers have said they stop ordering online because they were recieving products that just wasnt what they ordered.

What grabs your attention when ordering flowers, color,design, what?
My main thing when ordering flowers is the color selection. I like deep, rich colors like pumpkin orange, chocolate brown, blood red, etc. Like fall colors, mostly.
Reply:i look for something more interesting than just flowers. a decorative vase that can be used again. maybe river rocks and twigs that can be saved after the flowers die. beautiful ribbons and bows. oh--and i hate those generic business card size greetings that come on the arangement. people will spend $50 for a nice arangement, and then they cheap out on the card! i wish there were classier choices in this area.



i really enjoy progressive, trendy looks, almost a japanese style, a feeling or emotion should be conveyed through flower arangements.

Would a libra like an Edible Creation?

lol I always get my sisters their birthday gifts early or at least start thinking about them early on, so I'll have enough money to spend. Well, I always got my older sis (who is a libra) clothes and she seems to never think they are good enough. Last year I got her a beautiful 18K gold star charm bracelet that was over 300 dollars. Still she was not fully satisfied. So...this year I am just going to get her something different. An edible creation is an edible fruit arrangement that looks like a floral arrangement. What do you think?

Would a libra like an Edible Creation?
I am a Libra and I would love it if someone gave me an edible, decorative (at least until I eat it) and beautiful gift like that.

It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into your sister and if she doesn't like this she won't like anything!

It's a beautiful idea and so very thoughtful of you! You sound like a really sweet person.
Reply:I'm also a Libra and it sounds great to me.



Is it possible that you intimidate her and she uses her nonchalance about your gifts to get back at you? When people are always rude it is either because they don't know any better or its about Power.
Reply:moral: never buy expensive gifts for ungrateful siblings. lol im a libra and if you were to buy me an edible gift, the best gift would be... chocolate! yum lol. all the librans i know(my sister, my aunty, me, etc...) are obsessed with chocolate. were chocoholics!!! yum... might raid the fridge for some chocolate now... lol!
Reply:Well, your sister sounds really rude for rejecting your gift like that. I mean, who would do that? Anyway, what I would do is not get her anything. But that's just me.
Reply:I'm a Libra, and I would love people giving me presents with sincerity, its the thoughts that counts for a Libra, really..

Helpppppppppp?

A florist has to make a floral arrangement. She has 6 banksias, 5 wattles and 4 waratahs. All the flowers of each kind are different. In how many ways can the florist make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use at least 3 of each kind?

Helpppppppppp?
Call the flowers 6A, 5B, 4C. All the flowers of each kind are different =%26gt; each combination of them is unique.



So Pascal's coefficient gives the formula for choosing m objects from a collection of n unique objects:

C(n,m) = n!/(n-m)!m!



Number of ways to make a bunch of 10 flowers if she has to use at least 3 of each kind?

# = Number of ways choosing 4 of A, 3 of B and 3 of C

+ Number of ways choosing 3 of A, 4 of B and 3 of C

+ Number of ways choosing 3 of A, 3 of B and 4 of C



= [C(6,4) * C(5,3) * C(4,3)]

+ [C(6,3) * C(5,4) * C(4,3)]

+ [C(6,3) * C(5,3) * C(4,4)]



= [6!/4!2! * 5!/3!2! * 4!/3!1!]

+ [6!/3!3! * 5!/4!1! * 4!/3!1!]

+ [6!/3!3! * 5!/3!2! * 4!/4!0!]



= [6!/4!2! * 5!/3!2! * 4!/3!1!]

+ [6!/3!3! * 5!/4!1! * 4!/3!1!]

+ [6!/3!3! * 5!/3!2! * 4!/4!0!]



Factorizing out a common factor (6!5!4! / 4!3!3!)



# = (6!5!4! / 4!3!3!) *

( [1/2! * 1/2! * 1/1!]

+ [1/3! * 1/1! * 1/1!]

+ [1/3! * 1/2! * 1/0!] )



= (6!5!4! / 4!3!3!) *

( 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/1]

+ [1/6 * 1/1 * 1/1]

+ [1/6 * 1/2 * 1/1] )



= (6!5!4! / 4!3!3!) * ( 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/12 )



= (6!5!4! / 4!3!3!) * ((3+2+1)/12)

= (6!5!4! / 4!3!3!) * 1/2

= 6!5!4! / 4!3!3! 2

= 6!5! / 3!3! 2

= (6*5*4)(5*4)/2

= (6*5*4)(10)

= 1200
