Can you make a bouquet or flower arrangement out of gardenias?
I have never seen one before, and I don’t think it would work because they don’t really have long stems… but this is my sister’s favorite flower and I was trying to incorporate it into her bridal shower. Any ideas?
Gardenia blooms are very fragile Flowers And can be wired or glued or placed in floral foam. They can also be floated in a bowl with some candles, & used as a table arrangement.

Potted Gardenia plants are inexpensive, in comparison to cut flower arrangements, and you can use them as table settings or on a pedestal by the bride & groom’s table…plus they can taken home by the family members to enjoy for a long time.
