Question pomanders

I've just uploaded one of the pomanders i've made onto the gallery, I hate making them. When a bride asks for them I always try to talk them out of having them mostly I get my own way but sometimes.....!
They are so fiddly and I never know how to hold them when putting the flowers in- its so difficult not to bruise the petals. I usually make the bottom and then hang it off something then try to work around the rest of it as it spins round like a bloody disco ball.
But what mechanics does everyone use to make it?- oasis foam, moss ball, wired flowers, glued flowers what is the prefered way to make them with you lot?!
I'm asking this as every month in many bridal magazines they're always saying stuff like.."Be different, go for an unusual pomander to really make a statement" blah blah. Does any florist actually enjoy making these things?
