"tap it on the soldier" is a good tip, I've never heard that one before. thanks for the tutorial!

[@user-ho4zh4zf1y]

After watching over 50 videos on how to make a spiral bouquet this was the most clear and concise I found to follow for technique so Thank you! ❤

[@brankaraguz117]

And I'll be 'tapping' my shoulder while making the wedding bouquet!

[@rogehnimunoz4327]

So nice. Simple but beautiful

I'm only at 3:11 and I can say, Molly, you're saving my daughter's wedding! I'm kind of creative and artistic; my daughter insists I make her wedding bouquet (seriously small wedding, 40 people total). She wants it natural, and knows I'll love doing it. But I'm exploring tips and pointers to help ease the work...and your video is the ONLY that's truly instructional. Keep up the good work, and thank you very much!

Hi Molly, my mum and I are preparing the bouquets for my brother's wedding. We found your video useful, especially the 'tapping on the shoulder' part. Thanks for all your help!

Molly, I've enjoyed your videos, can't wait to see more! I don't live in Toronto, but will definitely go see your floral display at Canada Blooms next month. Molly, where did you study floral design?

The 'Hydra' in hydrangea means 'many heads.' Hydrangea macrophylla = Many heads, large leaf. Water = hydro

[@susanpridgen5644]

What is the tap on the shoulder about!?

[@cap2size]

hi, nice arrangement ideas but if you want the flowers to get water properly you shouldn't crusch steems with scissors... using sharp sterilized knife is better.

[@prime1938]

would it be possible to name the flowers under you videos?

[@vahsichangz5719]

Tap in the shoulder Idont think it's necessary 😁

[@princhesz]

The tapping does not seem to be applied there after the bouquet gets bigger~ Maybe only useful at the beginning

[@andrefrancis5093]

I've never once tapped.

[@henkh8285]

Tip: you better tie the stems above your hand, instead of under! It will make your bigger.

[@andrefrancis5093]

I loose bind under my hands. This helps to address top of bouquet design concerns. Such as moving stems if need be and ensuring the design is fluid. Binding above my hand means that the bouquet ends up tighter looking. Binding below opens up the space between flower placements. I've learnt if properly spiralled and flowers are well placed that it will take take of itself. Above hand binding requires tighter wrapping. Below hand binding means that the bouquet will look fuller when wrapped.

[@anneodonnell41]

I love your design and concept, but the tapping on the shoulder has absolutely no bearing on the placement of the stems. If you watch closely, the tapping has nothing to do with the follow up of placement. I would suggest leaving that part out.

[@LouLou-tl1gv]

I am a florist 28 years and tap it on the shoulder system makes no sense at all just confusing to beginners as flowers need to look natural and your eye will tell you if it looks right or not spiralling and then adding form flowers is what we would do to learn our apprentices

[@UNswtTreats]

Lol the tapping is completely unnecessary...
