I have done a wired posy (wasn't victorian though - unless they just mean old- fashioned) yes its lots and lots of wiring and taping and finishing the handle off with ribbon really really hurts!

Lovely photos. I have done one as a hand tied, looked quite similar but maybe a bit bigger. I am doing one for a Bride in July.

oh I remember doing one of them at college, a couple of decades ago, take ages and when you think you have wired enough flowers then do some more, there is never enough!! Nobody has asked for one since but I suppose its good to learn anyway

Reminds me of a cake - you know the sort of fairy cake you let the kids ice

Good practise for getting your wiring speeds up tho - 150 or so wired pieces - oh and Joe. . . . its a minimum of 5 circles - you can do more if you want!
