Bouquet Holders

I hate using these things but I have to make a shower bouquet in a couple of weeks! Does anyone have any hints as to how I can get the flowers to stay in the damn thing???? They always seem to drop out!

Hi,
I did a recent Weddings course and this was one of the things we made - advised to use a glue gun to keep the stems in place

Wire the flowers first and then poke through, make a hook and anchor it in. Is that what you meant?

thats what I usually do with the wires I must admit, I must just get brides who fling their arms all over the place! I might try the glue gun though!

We always wire the long stems and hook back but also glue the finished bouquet for extra security

you are a nutter.

We always fling ours about after making them to make sure it's totally secure.
