If there is one thing that really irritates me, it’s a sloppy bouquet.

I see so many florists sharing “supported” bouquets built with cut stems, chicken wire, or hidden structures. And every time, I think the same thing.

It tells me you can’t make a bouquet away from your workbench.
It tells me you rely on support instead of technique.
And it tells me there’s a reason you’re not showing the stem side.

The top might look beautiful. But I can already picture what’s happening underneath. Stems crossing in every direction, awkward angles, no real structure holding it together.

And this matters more than you think.

Your bride will struggle to hold it comfortably.
It won’t look good in photos, because yes, photographers do capture the underside.
And when you need to adjust something on the go, you won’t be able to.

A well-made bouquet should work with you, not against you. You should be able to build it anywhere, with the stems you have, quickly and with control.

After 15+ years of weddings, I can promise you this: things don’t always happen at your workstation. You adapt, or you struggle.

So to the newer florists coming up: learn a proper spiral. Let go of the chicken wire. Step away from the bench.

You don’t need the crutch. And once you trust your hands, everything changes.

You’ll thank yourself later.
