Can we talk about how I was over-tightening my bouquet wraps for years
A bride in Portland last weekend winced when she took her bouquet from me, and her mom quietly mentioned the stems felt 'like a bundle of sticks', which made me realize my fear of things falling apart was crushing the flower stems and shortening their life.

Yeah, that's a tough lesson to learn the hard way. Switching to a stretchy bind like clear floral tape first, before the ribbon, was a game changer. It holds everything secure without needing to squeeze the life out of the stems. Lets the flowers breathe a bit and drink water better too.

Oh man, I feel @coleman.gray's pain, my first few attempts looked like I was trying to strangle them.
