I used to wire every single stem in a bouquet by hand, now I just trust the natural structure
For years, I'd spend an extra 20 minutes on every wedding bouquet meticulously wiring each rose and ranunculus stem for 'security'. Then, at a big event in Phoenix last spring, I saw a designer from New York just using proper conditioning and tight binding. I tried it on my next three orders, and not one flower moved. Who else has ditched the extra wire and just binds it tight?

Okay but are we all just ignoring the part where the bouquet fell apart on the way to the wedding? That feels like the real story here. Maybe some flowers are just divas and need the wire, or maybe someone's binding game is weak. It can't just be a one-size-fits-all rule.

Honestly, is the extra wire even that big of a deal? Feels like one of those things people do because they always have, not because it actually fails without it. If the flowers are prepped right and bound tight, they aren't going anywhere lol.
