    Stephanotis can be used in a variety of

    floral designs...

    Bridal Bouquets Flowers To Wear Vase Arrangements Water Based DesignsStephanotis is most commonlyassociated with bridal bouquets.

    Because of its small delicate size and itsachromatic white color, stephanotis

    combines quite easily with just about anyother flower....It smells great, and adds a

    touch of class to anything to which it ismixed.

    Stephanotis also may be incorporated

    into flowers to wear. It is really nicewhen the groom or other members of the

    bridal party have boutonnieres or otherpersonal flowers that incorporate

    stephanotis from the batch used in the

    brides bouquet....

    Stephanotis comes from the Greekwords stephanos--crown and otis

    meaning ear. The overall shape ofthe flower is crown shaped, and the

    ear shape refers to the flowersstamens....

    It is a very elegant little flower.

    Care & Handling ofStephanotis.....

    The key in buying stephanotis is to get

    fresh, quality product. Stephanotis that isfresh is very clean white. As it ages it turnsivory and/or shows small black specks.

    It is stored by florists in the small plastic

    boxes in which it comes. Lightly mist theboxes, close and refrigerate.

    Because stephanotis has small, rather frailstems, it is usually wired and taped in floralart. This means it is ultimately used out ofwater...

    Designs incorporating stephanotis are

    therefore usually amongst the last created,

    often just before the event itself.

    Most of the public are not aware of the

    extra efforts that are required to use thiswonderful flower....Most floral designers

    agree that the effort is well worth it!
