how to

that's a wrap
Decorative mesh offers
customers added value and style in this twist on the traditional
presentation bouquet.
Fresh-cut presentation bouquets are in high demand for dances, pageants,
plays and other events, and this twist on the traditional sleeve or
paper packaging is a contemporary, upscale option for dressing up these
standards. A fashionable decorative mesh is quickly and easily gathered
around the blooms for a touch of style.
This bouquet also is styled in a more contemporary manner, for a twist
on the traditional presentation bouquet’s triangular, over-the-arm
arrangement. The mounded hand-tied design features groupings of
complementary-hued blooms. These groupings draw added attention to the
component flowers. And stylish sprays and loops of lily grass add a
contemporary accent that mirrors the green lines in the grain of the
mesh.
This wrap is more than just pretty packaging; therefore, it can be
priced for the added value it contributes. When the stems are left long,
it allows customers to easily drop their arrangements into vases they
have on hand at home, or you can offer a simple clear cylinder as a
quick added sale for displaying such a bouquet.
MATERIALS: ‘Hot Lady’ roses from Royal Flowers International;
Hydrangeas and Nerines from Transflora; Gerberas, lily grass, ‘Yoko Ono’
button spray chrysanthemums and ribbon from favorite suppliers; Green
