Planning the details is one of the important jobs for a wedding florist. We spend much time with the couple discovering their favorite flowers and coordinating their wedding colors. Thought is given to the final small touches that make a brides bouquet unique, complete, and give it that finished look.

Handle wraps can be done in many different styles. Aside from the color and type of ribbon, there are choices to make regarding detailed wrapping techniques, adding pearls or jewels, and the cut of the flower stems.
