We are sorry for the two week slack on the blog. Let’s just say that between personal life and business, posting has been put on hold. But we are back! Full force!
Wax flower is one of our favorite filler flowers (used to accent and fill in a design). We love the texture that they bring to a design. The wax flower plants themselves are woody evergreen shrubs ranging from 6 in to 10 ft. high. The leaves are tiny to medium-sized and arranged oppositely on the stems.
They contain oil glands and are aromatic, often giving off a pleasant aroma when crushed. The flowers are small and have five petals, ten stamens, and are followed by small hardened fruit. (source Wikipedia.org)

What we love:
- the cute shape of the flower
- the dark centers that adds dimension to a design
- wax flower holds up to a good amount of abuse. They don’t shatter as easily as other filler flowers. So it is great for our boutonnieres and corsages that have to last through a school dance :)
- they come in a good range of colors from white to soft pink to dark pink to purple to a salmon pink/orange
- wax flower adds a fine texture
- it is a great alternative to baby’s breath. wax flower gives a fresh new vibe to a traditional design
We ordered some white wax flower to put in our designs for our high school’s homecoming this week and we’ll post those designs next week! So look for the wax flower!
