I think emma means more of having a binding point and binding the already wired flowers together, do you emma? If so then it is a good idea to bind them together before taping them as it is more secure, although saying that i dont usually do it myself, after a while you get to know what you can get away with not binding and most florists cut corners

for wiring
For wiring, use the most appropriate wire......very thin silver for foliage, ivy leaves etc.....thicker for roses and such like, then tape them all individually .......but to join it all together, just for ordinary corsage, buttonhole...tape it.........
