I’m not sure why someone would put a “thumbs down”. This is very clear, very well presented and extremely helpful.

Very nice and informative. I like the technique of supporting the leaves with wire.

I agree with others with their comments below. It is a very helpful video and your teaching makes things more clearer, even a tiny bit of information helps a long way. I’m not a florist, but that helps me to understand well. Now, when I see a boutonnière or a corsage, I’m not scared of trying it. Thanks so much 🙏😊♎️

Thank you foe this video! Would you kindly give us more info on how to keep wired bouquets fresh? Especially before delivery

Thank you! The best way is to use well conditioned materials, make the item as close to the time required as possible, store in a cool place, with a light film over it after misting. But don’t wet the flowers with a spray as this can mark them. I also package them covered so they are protected until needed, and they have their own little microclimate. You can also use a cooler and finish with a spray such as floral ice, which stops them dehydrating as fast. 🌼

Thank you John and those at Flower Joos for putting these videos together. They are so clear and concise and make even the most novice beginner feel inspired and confident. I'm very grateful. I do have a question, however, and it is how long in advance wired foliage stems last and how they are best stored once prepared? I feel as though I'd want to try something as fiddly as this at least a couple of days before the event, but wouldn't know how to keep them fresh? Thanks kindly.

Thank you for the great feedback 😊 That’s a great question - and yes, you can prepare these in advance two or three days early - with materials like ivy, ruckus etc which are thicker and firm then they won’t mind. To store I would pop some damp kitchen roll in the bottom of a Tupperware box, lie the leaves on top, then seal and leave in a fridge or cold place. Another alternative is just to give them a mist with water and pop into a plastic food bag - then store cool. It will save time for events that need a big quantity of leaves. I normally plan on 7 per ladies corsage and at least 3 per gents, so it can add up.

Thank you for your very clear, concise instruction. I'm trying to figure out how to save money on my very low-budget wedding, and this will help so much. Thank you!

@FlowerJoos 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! The best way to save money is to be open minded about content and style - if you have a little flexibility in using available flowers and how they might look then that really helps. But the shape and size can be set 😀 Just soak up ideas for now as well 🌼🙋🏼‍♂️🌸

Will you be able to make a video on different sized wires and how to use them please? Thank you.

@FlowerJoos 4 жыл бұрын

Veridiana Veridiana good suggestion - though sometimes you find only limited sizes at the wholesalers - so you can use slightly higher or lower to do things 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

@veridianaveridiana5616 4 жыл бұрын

@@FlowerJoos mine looked so thick. Definitely the wrong size. It was so bulky and the product did not look delicate at all. 🤣

@FlowerJoos 4 жыл бұрын

Veridiana Veridiana yes, you really need a few - maybe three sizes for making things. 😀

A great video everything well explained as usual! John could you possibly tell me what size gauge wires you would use 1. For flower heads 2. Leaves and foliage 3. wiring larger bouquets? Many thanks

@FlowerJoos 5 жыл бұрын

Tiff Pickford oh, that is interesting. There is not simple answer as you can use a light wire like a rose wire with a single leg, or a double leg, and the the flower could be light or heavy. So it’s not straightforward to answer that. My suggestion would be to really have a go with a range of flowers and leaves and see what works for you. When I first started out I was told to be as thin and light as possible - but a firmer wire is also good, especially for the first flower in a corsage. Hope that helps. It’s also hard to get the same wires twice - they last so long and then you run out you can’t always get the same.

@alisonunderwood7429 2 жыл бұрын

how long will wired flowers last without water?

@FlowerJoos 2 жыл бұрын

They are good for 24 hours I would suggest - it depends on the flower. Delicate soft flowers are harder to keep, but flowers like orchids with a good water content are the easiest.

So I went to work on a wedding today and employed your techniques. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your tutorials. Many of the things you discuss, I know, but you always offer these refinements to the technique that affirm and inform my own techniques in mechanics going forward. You make me a better florist, and I sincerely appreciate that.
