Bells of Ireland turning up??

[petalpusherswestpoint]

Are there any tips to keep Bells of Ireland from changing direction after they are arranged? I have to use them in some bridal bouquets and I don't want them to change too much and alter the shape of the bouquets.

I heard you can pinch off the very top and they'll stay put. Same with snaps.

Bells are drawn to the LIGHT...so to have them stay in their present shape, place in a very dark (or cover with a dark plastic bag) cooler.

Remove when you are just about ready to leave for the wedding. They should be fine.

Part of their "uniqueness" is their ability to transform shapes virtually before your very eyes.

Cheryl's right...and if you want them to curve... a lot... stick them in a Oasis cage and hang upside down....

Great info... thanks!

Thanks for the tips... I never knew that they curled that much... I usually run a wire down through them if I want them to stay a certain way.

yep, they are phototropic... I think that's how you spell it!

It's interesting to learn all the "tropics"
