I was wandering if there is a study guide to take the floral design test for Louisiana.?

I currently work in a Flower Shop and I have heard you can take the test to be a designer without going to school for it. I am just curious if there is a study guide for the Louisiana area.


Thanks Christy

Try contacting the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. They have information on their study guide. Here's the website:

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.

I'm sorry I couldn't find anything better! Or maybe you could buy a plain white babydoll, then have someone print the pink flowers on top for you.


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.

Dearest friend, it depends on the place were you live, if you can get flowers not to expensive, if you can get them at all...

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.

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.

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

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.
