OMGGGGGG baby orchids? What? And that buillon wire is the perfect finishing touch. Pocket boutonnieres are my new favorite! Cheers to you, Mark!

You are my new favorite You Tuber...I am working on a wedding and binge watching your videos! Love the combo of what is clearly two of your favorite things:)

Hi Catherine! Welcome! And, thank you so much for watching! Are you a professional floral designer or think of it more as a hobby, helping friends and family? I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! Please reach out anytime with questions you might have! Cheers!

Greatest suggestion I ever had was to put the oasis glue in a "toothpaste" holder. keeps the glue upright and not squeezing out!! and you can just dab stem in tube, less waste...

Love your video! How long in advance can pocket boutonnieres be made and not wilt, etc.? Thanks!

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Hi there! For our events at the shop, we typically work on boutonnieres on Tuesday and Wednesday for our Saturday events. I did a sample of the pocket boutonniere prior to this video and it lasted almost 10 days in our cooler in a hydration chamber. I would suggest not more than 3-4 days for important events like weddings to ensure maximum freshness! Thanks for watching! Cheers!

love texture .the wire just made it pop

This is great! What’s an alternative to the oasis floral adhesive?

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Thank you!! Honestly, it's really the only adhesive that I know is flower-friendly and will hold after cooling in the frig. There is another similar adhesive out on the market that doesn't hold nearly as well and that we do not use here at the shop. Some florists have used the hot pan melt glue, but if it is too hot, it may damage the flowers. Good luck! and Cheers!

where can I purchase the bullion wire?

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Hi Bethany! I've just added a link in the description for this video to an Amazon storefront that sells the bulliion. It is based in the UK, so it may take a bit to get here. They have a limited selection of colors currently available. If you have a wholesale license, you may check with a floral wholesaler in your area. They may have it or can get it for you. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

It is roughly the size of a 3” x 5” index card. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
