calbear1313, that is a good question because this is a very real concern. Hand-tied bouquets with bare stems may very well stain fabrics. As far as we know, the only sure way to keep stems from staining is to cover them--with ribbon or a fabric cover, such as a posy holder. Hope that helps.

or try the floristry standed and ribbion to the bottom then back up because your (Talmage) ribbon wraping does not meet industry criteria and would fail in any industry assessment

Looks great. My question would be how do you avoid getting green stains from the exposed stems at the bottom on the bride's dress?

All your ideas are great !

thanks
