Floral Wire has a multitude of uses
with different gauges used for different purposes. The higher the gauge, the smaller
in diameter and more delicate the wire. A low-gauge wire like a 16 or 18 gauge wire
is used for supporting flower stems, binding florist netting around floral foam and
securing floral foam into a container. 21- and 22- gauge wires are a good all
purpose wire used for securing bows. 26-gauge wire is used primarily in corsage an
boutonniere making.

Corsage
Tape
Used exclusively for corsage and wedding work, Corsage Tape is a non-sticky tape used to
wrap wired flower stems, and to tape flower stems together.
You activate Corsage Tape by stretching it as you wrap a flower stem. The
stretching briefly melts a wax layer in the tape and allows the tape to then stick to
itself.
Available in three colors; Dark Green, Light Green and White.

Crowning
Glory, 16 oz bottle with spray head
Crowning
Glory is like a hand lotion for flowers. It helps to seal the surface of the
blossoms and leaves of cut flowers, thus slowing the transpiration and water loss of the
flowers. Crowning Glory is excellent for use on corsages and wedding flowers.
It will also help to prolong the life of vase flowers. To use, you simple spray a
fine mist of Crowning Glory on your arrangement or corsage. Allow the flowers to dry
at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
