You're pulling my leg!

Ianf, I can't believe you don't know how to ribbon, you must have a lot of funerals to do? Has this not come up before?

well if ian doesnt have any pics of basing with ribbon edging then his customers arent going to ask for that , they will pick the picture with the foliage edge. It is easy to steer people away from something your not sure of, I have done it on occasion, like phalanopsis orchid bouqets for example. I have been working in floristry for 22 years and have only done 1 phalanopsis orchid shower. It is only recently that i have decided it is about time i get over my phobia and start to offer them again. I have one to do in 2 weeks and i am nervous even thinking about it. Hopefully everything will be okay though, and I am kind of counting on this site for a little support when the time comes (hello flower)
