Can I wear a floral dress and black jacket to a 'business casual' lunch?

A black-based, ochre and brown floral dress and Morrissey suit jacket to an accounting firm job offer congratulatory lunch?

Can I wear a floral dress and black jacket to a 'business casual' lunch?
As long as the jacket fits you well and does not go past the middle of your bottom or have shoulder pads like the eighties it sounds good. I personally would try a cropped cardigan instead but it should do. Just make sure your hair is good too.
Reply:as long as the accesories don't scream "hey i am going casual today"
Reply:Sounds good to me! Summery but smart :)
Reply:sure! black is not a color... compliments everything!
Reply:yea im sure u can it would look cute
Reply:Sounds good to me!
Reply:Im a guy, and I dont know what a morrissey suit jacket looks like, but if your going with a dress like that, I saw a women in New Orleans with a similar sounding dress and a shaw. And Let Me Tell You !


The jacket may hide you. The shaw may Pride you.


She looked way Sharp ! Lots of class !


Either way, Im sure you ' ll be beautiful !
Reply:yes it would look good / good luck and enjoy your meal
Reply:But of course you can, FREAKSHOW!
Reply:Sounds like it will work just perfect for you .
Reply:I don't think so...
Reply:I love how a woman could pull this off...but a guy in a nice sports jacket with a Smiths shirt or Morrissey shirt underneath regardless of age..would never work..
Reply:If thats your style girl flaunt it!
Reply:As long as it's a subtle print. You don't want anything too frilly, poufy, or dramatic. It sounds pretty though.
Reply:I would.
Reply:well it looks like its a bit 2 late eh? but yes it sounds nice enough - i love the sound of the 'black jacket' though :D
Reply:yes
Reply:I would say yes. The black jacket will tame down the dress and the dress will show you have personality. Good choice.
Reply:I'm sure you already have, but just make sure the hem isn't very far above your knee, and that the jacket has a little structure (to make it a little more professional).


Help me find red and yellow stripe of large floral kitchen valences?

I need red, yellow and possible other color floral, stripe or geometric kitchen valences.

Help me find red and yellow stripe of large floral kitchen valences?
If you are handy with a needle, Try JoAnn Fabrics or Hancock Fabrics, they have both stock items and special order. I know JoAnn has it. You will get the exact design that you want this way. If you aren't then you could purchase cloth napkins and hang them diagnal across the curatin rod. If you want embelishments you could put the corners through napkin rings and hang rings on the rod. This would form the valance.
Reply:valances are really easy to make. It's just a matter of using enough material to get a nice shirr on the rod and heming it on both ends and creating the pocket for the rod.





You can also adapt pillowcases to become valances

What color curtains go with burgandy floral carpet and pale yellow walls.?

This is for a bedroom

What color curtains go with burgandy floral carpet and pale yellow walls.?
i would use dark beige or light tan or light earth tone for the curtains. you can pick the predominant shade of a light earth tone from your floral carpet and match the fabric.
Reply:I would look carefully at the floral carpet, pick a predominant colour from it (other than pale yellow) and try to get window coverings to go with that colour. Pick one you like (from the carpet) as opposed to "the most predominant" one (unless of course, you like the most predominant one!) Good way to check for "dominance of colour" is to view it while squinting your eyes... check it out, good luck!
Reply:Since the carpet is floral, take another color from the carpet. Pale yellow is an easy color to work with, just about any color will blend nicely with it, ex: blue, green, burgandy.
Reply:Oooh--sounds scary! Try to go as neutral as possible with that color scheme. Try matching your curtains to furniture. If you have white furniture, try white curtains. Maple furniture, beige curtains, etc. That should make a great statement. If your furniture is mismatched, spray paint them a solid color and sand the edges a bit to give them that aged-distressed look. I did that with thrift store furniture in black, and it looks like they came out of Pottery Barn. When I feel really dramatic, I put black curtains, but usually I use an accent color from a fabric I am using at the time. Look at a great piece you love, use a color from that, and who knows? It may turn out really cool. Make sure you have other items in the same accent color, so its not too crazy in there.


Hope this helps!
Reply:NOT PINK! EW! Try a sheer with a more solid edge with a heavy carpet-use one of the other colors or maybe an off white or white or the burgandy if it is a sheer. Depends on the other colors and whats on your bed-try HGTV.com. They have a section where you can try out colors, patterns and such in a virtual room to check things out.
Reply:A very pale pink.
Reply:Depends how bold you want to be.


I've seen floral and plaid together.


Chose a color from your carper that isn't dominate and use that to tie your room together. Even getting the same color as your new curtains for your bedding.


Good Luck.

I am looking for florist website that has chinese orchids in their floral arrangement?

my friend is graduating from college this weekend. she doesnt like roses and her favorite flower is a chinese orchid. i live on the other side of the country. i need to send her flowers from a website. i can not find anything on chinese orchids. does anyone know anything about them or if i can even get them here? i really want to get her something nice because she has worked so hard and means a lot to me. if i can find the chinese orchids she would be greatly surprised and happy.

I am looking for florist website that has chinese orchids in their floral arrangement?
go to www.proflowers.com I order from them all the time and am never disappointed.
Reply:There is a plant called a Chinese Ground Orchid. I am not sure if they can use it in arrangements. I work in at a florist and have never seen it. Orchids in general are unique and elegant, so I think any type of orchid arrangement would be beautiful. You can call a shop directly (find one on the internet) or go to your local florist and they can wire an order (through FTD,Teleflora, etc) for you for a fee.

Is this a good moment in time to start a floral/party rental shared business?

Hi Karina:





Developing any business at any time is very good, even in harshiptimes like this, because this thing means you have a lot of nerves and I encouraging you to do this (congratulations to you)





I Hope you´re alright, and concerning to your question there are several ways to know the answer, 1rst one is to exactly what you really want to do?! and if you ever decided to selling out flowers is quite good, but you need to do the very next things.





1) Get you´re selve the services of internet, remember that in todays world 70-90% of selling services are done on internet.


2) Once you ever get these services, you need to make it interactive, seductive and magnetic atracting to your customers.


3) Special delivery services, this is the most important point of all, because way to much people demanding this kind of last minute purchasing and delivering door to door ( carry this issue in mind).


4) all kind of flowers (What I´m trying to tell you is find-out as many as purveyors of any kind of flowere you can ever find otherwise it´ll be impossible to facilitate any request including the hardest ones (and I mean it, Thats for sure).


5) Image, advertising sponsors you can ever get, thats very important in order to business-developing parameters.


6) How much are you willing to invest in order to pursue your dream matter ( I recall Walt Disney saying: If you can dream it you can make it), having this thing in mind you can risk any thing to accomplish your dream-bussiness.





Your project of flowering-services business is sounding good only thing that matters is you making all-involving situations that carry your business in order to be a succesful one.





If you requiered detailed information let me know and I tell everything about it.





The final point is to you considering no prospected expenses.





Sincerily

What color eyeshadow should I use if I wear a dress with a black/white floral print and bright yellow sash?

I am African-American with a medium dark complexion. If you are familiar with MAC products. I am an NC50.

What color eyeshadow should I use if I wear a dress with a black/white floral print and bright yellow sash?
You could go with a gold like the others said, but you dont want your eyeshadow to always match your outfits. Instead you want your makeup to compliment your outfits. If you want a smoky look, go with a dark grey. If you want your eyes to pop (considering your african-american, I will guess your eyes to be brown-most likely), consider wearing a shimmer of a complimenting color like green. Green is always complimenting to medium-dark skin tones. And if your eyes are green or blue, its also a GO!!


If you cant decide on an eyeshadow color, go bare and dress up those lips with a brighter hue! Good Luck!!





PS. Find some yellow shoes to go with that yellow sash!
Reply:gold glitter
Reply:well africans can pull off practiaclly any color eyeshadow but i wud wear yellow to make the yellow sash rele pop off the white dress
Reply:light gold with white shimmer
Reply:Id say champagne bc it goes with everything and is cute and sexy but not overdone or flashy! GOOD LUCK!
Reply:Anything not yellow/black or white. I would go kinda bright. Maybe red. Or gold.
Reply:go with colors that bring out your best features like your eyes or lips also don't go way to dark just go with natural colors
Reply:In general, it may surprise you to learn that makeup shouldn't be matched to an outfit--it should be matched to enhance your skin and eyes. So whatever you normally use when dressed up would work. But I agree that a touch of gold shimmer would be lovely--be subtle for a classy look!
Reply:I would say anything nuetral, scince your outfit seems to be eye drawing. but also some dramatic eyeliner, so it draws a little attention to your eyes. but you shouldnt wear like purple or yellow or green or anything.
Reply:Something natural. That sash is gonna pop enough. You don't want your eyes clashing with your outfit.
Reply:definetly use gold! it goes great with your skin, gold and black n white

How do you dry hydrangeas for dry floral arrangements? Any tricks for keeping their colors?

the two that answered above are both right. You can use silica or you can dry them naturally and use hairspray. One thing that is important, if you live in a part of the country that has high humidity. If so, they flowers tend to die before they dry and go brown.





If you decide to hang them upside down, make sure its in the dark so the colour doesn't fade.

How do you dry hydrangeas for dry floral arrangements? Any tricks for keeping their colors?
silica will remove moisture and retain color. You can also send them to professionals and have them dried (i.e. check the net for places) I have a friend who does this for a living. Many people send wedding bouquets, special occasion flowers etc.
Reply:once you cut the flower, hang them separately upside down. once they are dry you can go the inexpensive way by spraying them with hair spray. the aerosol kind usually works best.


Anyone know where i can find an oakland raiders plant or floral arrangement?

its for a friends dads funeral and i have to order the flowers tonight, please only answer if you know where i can find this for sure, ive been looking a lot and havent found anything. thanks

Anyone know where i can find an oakland raiders plant or floral arrangement?
I am sorry about your friends loss. It must be a difficult time. I know this answer is too late to be of any real help. Had I seen the question earlier, I would have suggested that you have the florist make a display using white flowers and using silver and black ribbon to dress it up.





The next time you need special arrangements, talk to your florist and try to give them some ideas. Most will be glad to make you something special. After all, they make the same arrangements every day.





Good luck and best wishes to you and your friend.

HELP! I need to know what the artificial water resin is called that is used to make floral arrangements?

The water looks real but is faux. Can you buy this in stores? What is it called. I can't find this information anywhere!

HELP! I need to know what the artificial water resin is called that is used to make floral arrangements?
It's called a "floral setting resin" ---it's a "soft" version of a 2-part epoxy resin (which cures very hard).





You can buy various brands of it at a craft store (in the floral dept.), or online, or perhaps in hobby or art supply stores too.





I have a bunch of info about these kinds of resins on the "Resins" page at my website if you want to find exact brand names, as well as info on how to use this kind of resin, etc.:

Reply:The product is called Everlasting Elegance. Instructions are in the kit.
Reply:It's a liquid acrylic, comes in a kit, you mix it and pour it into your vase. Once the acrylic has hardened, it's permanent and you can't reuse the vase. I have not personally used it, but I know people who have and it's pretty easy. It may be called Water Illusion or Illusion Water. Ask at your craft store, and here's a link for you:

Reply:Both previous answers are correct, I have used it for putting into vases and it is extremly easy. Just mix the two products provided together and let it dry.


I tried using it for a flat panel to put on the back of a bead purse but it is extremly heavy when dried and it really nevery gets rid of it's sticky to the touch feeling. It will also keep fingerprints if touched after it is dried.


You can buy it at any large craft store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby.


Where can I find real estate or law firms that allow me to advertise my floral shop/services?

Or anyone know of any firms where I can advertise on their intranet?

Where can I find real estate or law firms that allow me to advertise my floral shop/services?
Law firms don't really have intranets for advertising. If you're trying to market to lawyers, you might see if your local bar association has a newsletter where you could buy advertising space.
Reply:The best thing I can think of is to just do your research to find all these businesses and contact them. Ask them if they're interested in leasing you some space for advertising. Or see if you could work out some sort of swap that they can advertise with you and vice versa and maybe give customers some deal if they mention the name or bring a coupon from the opposite place. Although I'm not sure that tactic would work for a law firm.

Does anyone know of a floral service that delivers to a cemetery?

What i mean is i want to send fresh flowers to a grave monthly. Do floral services online do that??

Does anyone know of a floral service that delivers to a cemetery?
Floral services online, like 800FLOWERS, won't do something like that for you. This calls for personal service. Personal Service is exactly what a local florist specializes in.


I worked in flower shops all over Georgia for the better part of 10 years and every shop I worked in would do this for you.





Go to the yellow pages search engine and find the numbers for several shops. Before you call, you will need the pertinent information about the cemetery and gravesite. (Like the section of the cemetery, plot number, name on the headstone and directions to the grave) Also, be prepared to give the shop your credit card info to put on file so they can bill you monthly. Let them know what you expect and how much you want to spend. Be specific, even if you don't have a preference for flower or color...make sure you tell them. If it doesn't matter, and you just want pretty flowers, you will usually get more than your moneys worth.

What kind of vase do you use when you are trying to make a round floral bouqet?

I want to make one for my Mother's Birthday, any advise would be great!!!!!

What kind of vase do you use when you are trying to make a round floral bouqet?
I would use the kind with roundish on the bottom and skinny towards the opening of the vase. I think it's easier to keep the flowers stand straight and make a round shape bouquet without too many flowers. A wide opening one needs lots of flowers to fill it.
Reply:I like a cylinder shape ( round, straight up and down ).





Fill the vase with tepid water.


Take Scotch tape and make a grid pattern across the opening at the top of the vase with the tape. This forms a support for your stems and the tape is clear so it doesn't show up among the plants. Now, take your flowers and measure them against the vase. Trim the stems where they will fit comfortably in the vase. Be sure no leaves are below the water level ( trim them if they are ) in order to keep the water as clean as possible. Add some filler like Baby's Breath and/or greens, like fern and you're done :)
Reply:One with a wide opening...otherwise the flowers will stand straight up.

Any ideas on creating a floral centerpiece in the shape of a ladybug?

Red carnations...lots of them, bunched into floral foam, you can cut the stems to varying lengths to give a rounded appearance in the foam.


Then stud throughout with yellow daisies or carnations.


Or, reverse the colors.


The point is, use a flower that "clumps together" well.

Is it appropriate to wear a small floral print dress with a white background to a wedding?

The dress is white with small turquoise flowers and a turquoise ribbon. I'm curious if it is appropriate because of the white.

I really doesn't think it matters as long as you do not out do the bride!!!
Reply:MOST DEFINITELY. A wedding attire appropriate should be covering most of the body and be calm and comfortable. GOod luck!

Reply:i shud atlest b either knee length or a 2 inches above knee will go
Reply:I think it would be fine. It would be different if it was solid white.
Reply:You can wear it if you are a guest to the wedding and it does not look like it would be a wedding dress.
Reply:Of course it is, A nice floppy turquoise hat, sounds like it would go just great with the dress...
Reply:Yes it's perfect!





You can wear anything as long as it's not a white wedding or prom looking dress. But if it's a white spring dress it's fine.


How do you use floral foam?

I'm trying to do a centerpiece where you poke flowers into a floral ring. Do you soak it in water?

How do you use floral foam?
First you need to get a roll of this clay type tape. You rip off a piece of it and stick it onto the bottom of the container and press the floral foam into it. So it stays stable. Yes you soak it to water the flowers you put into it for an arrangement.





Happy Holidays.
Reply:The green foam is for dried flowers. You want the brown kind. That's the one that soaks up water.


I cut masks out of foam, adhesive and use floral paint spray-?

I make masks for our community theatre once and a while and although I'm not an artist I'd like to spray finer detail and I've always used pieces of cardboard to direct the spray in certain direction. The foam is EZM or Easy foam. Is there a way to direct the spray better? I'm only making ears now an I use the floral paint because it stays soft and doesn't melt the foam.One more thing I need website that has pics of animals (ears).

I would like to start a floral business. How do I go about wiring flowers anywhere?

you would just have to get signed up with FTD or 1-800 flowers - you would have to have an actual brick and mortar flower shop because you would get referrals from people ordering online to be delivered near where your shop is and you would have to deliver them


Why do many mattresses have floral graphics on them?

I mean like you're gonna go to sleep on it with the sheets that covering it anyways.

Why do many mattresses have floral graphics on them?
I thought maybe they had patterns on them so that if you got a stain on there, the stain could be wiped or washed away and any residual stains might blend into the pattern.





That's just what I thought though... Not sure really.
Reply:Excuse the chuckling here, Tyrone: I've wondered the same thing. I suppose the theory is that the floral patterns will make you want to buy the mattresses, and afterwards won't be too unattractive while you wash the bedding.
Reply:i think the 1st answer has it right
Reply:am thinking the older mattresses are more prevalent to be floral than the newer ones-see ur point though-hahaha

How do you get free flowers from floral shops?

I go to a very small and poorly funded charter school, and we want to sell flowers on valentines day to help raise money for a school prom or social. I have heard of people getting free flowers from floral shops when they toss the flowers that never sold. Do they still do that and how I would I go about getting donated flowers from floral shops?

How do you get free flowers from floral shops?
just ask them for them, tell then they are for your prom and you want to make it great. tthey can help you out :)
Reply:now i don't know if you will be able to get any for free


but mabye you could convince them to give you a discount





first off come up with a list of the reasons why this fun raiser would benifit your school and your students


tell the shop that this could benifit them because your school would give them some free adverstisement and you guys would hang flyers up promoting their business





it would be best to write all of that in a little letter that you could hand to them with a contact number and ect. on it





then i would bring that letter to all of the flower shops near by and personally explain your situation to them





if there are any big name flower shops in the area i would go to them first because they can usually afford to give you the flowers for free/discount


some of the smaller mom and pop type places don't have that type of financial freedom and stabiltiy but they are more local so they may be more willing to help out





i would ask them if you guys could get some flowers donated (even if they were the one's that were not as great a couple of days old ones)





if they say yes then great but if they say that they can't do that i would ask them if they could give you any type of discount since you are buying them in bulk





if they do give you a discount you may want to ask if you can pay them after the fund raiser that way you will have the money if they won't allow that then ask your school for the money and then pay the school back with the fund raiser money





good luck!
Reply:Ask them if they have any day old ones that they are welling to give you if you have a trader Joe's they do.
Reply:I would just call around and ask maybe some can help you out! Goodluck


Or instead of doing flowers baking cakes are better or doing brownies or other baking goodies!
Reply:The only way to find out is to go out there yourself and ask the owners of the flower shops....I am sure that if you have enough black and white (like maybe an official letter from the principal etc etc) then some may actually donate their flowers...... you might never know unless you tried....and I am pretty sure there some owners that would actually donate without much questions .... never underestimate the kindness in people and ask cause it certainly is for a good cause.
Reply:Go in at the end of the day, state your story...Make sure it's near the end of the hours. Ask if they have any flowers that are almost going to be off the sale rack due to age.
Reply:ask them say my school is poorly funded can you help with us with free flowers so we can have a decent prom(look for a girl working there)
Reply:Pull them out of the dumpster............
Reply:Call the local shops in the area and tell them what you are doing. They will let you know, if that is something they do. Good luck and God bless.
Reply:yes, they do that. Ask the shop to sponsor your school!

Does anyone know where I can find Purple Floral Cabbage?

It was in my wedding bouquet. Is that the correct name for it?

Does anyone know where I can find Purple Floral Cabbage?
Hi , I think this is what your seeking


http://www.territorial-seed.com/stores/1...





These look like cabbage roses on long stems with compact heads...much more compact than the ornamental cabbages/ kale
Reply:Any nursery or garden center.
Reply:decorative kale--i guess it depends where you are--here(toronto) it is sold on every corner --mostly in the fall, when it is planted as a late(cool) season bedding plant..there are many color/shape varieties..its not usually planted prominently in summer, as hot weather would make it 'bolt' shoot up to flowering stalks, which are not what its usually grown for--what you see is leaves, not flowers..


you should be able to find seed as well, from any vegetable /flower seed company, or local garden centre, and plant in spring to have mature plants by fall....
Reply:close enough,u can get it at a nersury.

How do I set up my own floral business out of my house?

I know about sales tax, getting a license, etc...but are there any deposits or fees you have to make with the state/government? (for insurance purposes maybe)??

How do I set up my own floral business out of my house?
No. Get a license from your area ($40 or less). Put up a sign and start selling. Collect sales tax (track it separate) and keep your own books in order, track all receipts, etc.





Past that, no much. People think there are hoops or stuff to do. A kid who mows a yard... is a business owner.

How to scan a piece of white silk with white embroidery floral on it?

my scanner (a dell) allows me to adjust the contrast and the brightness before scanning I think I would try it on several up and down levels to see which was the right direction and tweek it form there.

How to scan a piece of white silk with white embroidery floral on it?
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are doing. But if you are trying to get a picture of a white on white piece it will be a little difficult.


Stretch the silk onto a hard surface that has some color. The color will show thru the silk and make the whte embroidery show up. Color choice has to be your decision. The darker the color the more the embroidery will show up but the less it will look like white on white.





Lots of luck
Reply:You might try putting something like black paper on top of the embroidery.
Reply:You probably aren't going to get anything you'll like, but the other answerers suggestion about putting something a shade or so darker behind it can work on a flat bed scanner if there are open (no fabric) parts of it. If it is a solid piece of embodered silk, it won't matter what you mount it to. You will mostly end up with a pattern.





To record the detail, you need to photograph the linen. Light coming at an angle will create shadows that will model the threads in the piece and give it texture. By it's nature, a scanner uses direct straight on light and you lose that modelling effect.





You can use basically the same approach of mounting the linen piece, but light it from the side at 45-60 deg with a desk lamp and photograph it.





You will probably have to adjust your exposure over whatever the camera thinks is correct by opening up +1 1/2 stops or so using the apeture or shutter speed controls of the camera (if it has them).





Good luck with which ever way you choose.
