Florist Wires

Cake Florist Wires

Available in a range of thickness and colours, florist wires are essential when it comes to making beautiful floral displays. Without florist wires and tapes, no florist would be able to produce the fabulous arrangements used for all types of events such as weddings, anniversaries and funerals. For a celebration cake florist wires play an essential role in creating blooms, whether real or artificial, to go on the top.

If you are planning to create an arrangement yourself, remember when thinking about which wire to use, the high numbers are used for thin wire and the lower numbers for thicker wire. So if a small blossom is being wired up, a gauge of 26 is perfect.

Flowers from a shop or garden can resemble expensive bouquets from a florist when presented correctly. Floral tape is used in corsage making and flower arranging to group flowers together. The tape is also used at the end of florist wire to make a neat finish. There is no reason why anyone cannot attempt these types of arrangement and a little practice will make perfect.

Florists are often asked to make arrangements to go on top of cakes. These can range from fresh flower arrangements constructed of dainty flowers and leaves to highly elaborate sugar flowers. Sugar roses add a perfect touch to a wedding cake and come in a variety of colours. When planning an elaborate cake wire and tape, although hidden, play a vital part in the floral accessories.
