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.
