Where can I purchase some fans with a foam
center.
I looked two different times on-line and found no listings for
this
product. I know that it was available in the 1980s, when
the look was
in fashion, but I've not noticed them in stores for a while now.
A
large (more industrial) floral supplier might have some, or a
local
independent craft/floral store-- but the big chain stores like
Michael's, etc., will not carry them when they aren't popular.
I'm assuming that you are planning to decorate the fans with
flowers as
decorations or in place of bouquets. This is still quite
possible
without a specific foam fan center, especially if you will
consider
using dried and/or silk flowers. With flowers which do not
need a water
reservoir, it's easy to create a free-form wired floral bunch,
then
attach it to any attractive fan with wire and/or hot glue (I
like to use
both for strength.)
There are a number of novelty and import companies who have very
pretty fans, including Tiger Gifts. You can find a link to
them on my wedding links pages at the URL below. For more
on wiring flowers, you can check your local library for floral
arrangement books, or my book, A Bride's Touch, which discusses
wiring and related techniques in it's floral
sections.
Good luck!
