BABY, Baby, baby

Baby’s breath is making a resurgence in the event industry.  It can be so delicate yet very powerful.  Over the past year about half of my clients have requested baby’s breath for their arrangements.  So I had to get up close and personal with what florist call Gypsophila.

There are over 100 species in the family.  Its botanical name means "lover of chalk", which is accurate in describing the type of soil in which this plant grows.

I love a full look with the baby’s breath, so I recommend getting stems that have very full florets.  Baby’s breath can go a very long way and can be used for many different events.
