I went through a phase of using crepe paper. Probably cos i'd spent 35 quid on the crepe curling machine to do the edges and had then bought loads of rolls of every colour under the sun. Most of the time just used cream as it looked nicer. Preferred doing it with aqua packs in a frame, cello first and then just over wrap with the crepe and finish with contrasting paper ribbon or raffia. Couldn't bear the thought of someone pulling it all to bits as soon as they rec'd it. Didn't always work for different size bunches though but you can soon tell if it looks right.

I prefer the spiderweb to tissue, or you could also try a bit of sisal round the edge? Ive tried them sisal collars with the metal progs at the bottom but dont find them that good really cause i think they're a bit small for hand ties and a bit chunky for bridal work

i use crepe for cheeper ones, any over £35.00 i use hessian or other wraps that are like material. looks fab. also on the higher end h/t i never wrap the flowers, just leave them open with the bottom wrapped. makes them look more zingy when ddelivered

Well, unless your sure.

cheaper ones its cello and tissue. More expesinve I use chiffon ( spelling? And i think thats what the material is ) bags. Got them from IS group. No one else up this way uses them and the customers think its fab

tissue and cello and raffic for hand tied in box, just cello for anything under £20 and want to get into using brown paper but bought a roll and not sure how to use it. look on my web for ex of my ht.

keeping to theme extra question, does anyone know what to do with brown paper - hoping this may help you too leanne

wrap parcels in it?, only joking, a lot of people use it to wrap their cut flowers in dont they I think, tied with strig/twine instead of cellotape? Other than that i have no idea
