Oasis Raquettes?

[rewolf]

Decorating a large arbor next weekend that has been designed and built by the groom.

Typically I use various floral cages. But I am designing essentially a crown of flowers for the top of the Arbor and have never used the 18" Oasis Raquettes.

Are they appropriate for this application...do they drip...are they sturdy...and can I zip-strip them easily to the top of the Arbor?
Your input is appreciated!

Yes you can. They are wonderful to use and surprisingly there have been times that flowers last for days after teardown when they sit on a back table in the studio. Zip ties are the best way to tie them down.

Go for it! Those of us in Western PA, use them all the time for lid sprays on caskets where the lids are fully open. We know to allow it to drip by tilting it prior to delivery to the funeral home. Believe me, our funeral directors would let us know if there were problems with dripping!

They are great....They have a hard plastic bottom tray under the plastic that holds the water in....it also helps the zip ties no to cut through the foam...perfect for what you want to use them for.
