you are most welcome so glad you found my video helpful Tracey 😊

Thank you for your comment, that’s very interesting, I’ve never come across that before. As a floristry teacher in the UK I’ve always used Parafilm floristry tape for my own work and to teach my students too as it produces very fine, flexible and strong results. Tracey

@@CampbellsFlowers love u mam,u r so nice,thanks 4 answering me

thank you so much, I'm so glad its been helpful Tx

That's so kind of you, I'm planning to share lots more very soon! Tx

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much for your comment Milly, I'm so glad you found it helpful, I just know from using UA-cam videos myself, how frustrating it can be when you think its going to be helpful but then they whizz through everything and you have to keep pausing constantly! I do hope you are happy with your design. Tracey ❤

So glad you like it and that it works for you

ah, thank you so much. So, I usually wire each piece and then tape, but when I made this video, I wanted to keep the method as simple as possible so that it appeals and is achievable to either someone with no floristry skills or someone who hasn't much time! I hope that helps Tracey x

It was a .90 guage wire - which I believe is .036 in imperial, hope that helps

You are most welcome ❤

Apologies, I don't speak Spanish, but I do speak a little French - we can find a common language maybe? 😊 Disculpe, no hablo español, pero hablo un poco de francés. ¿Podemos encontrar un idioma común tal vez? (Thank you Google translate!)

Why thank you. I’m pretty sure my girls wouldn’t have said that when they were teens! 😁

Ah that's so nice to her, I'm super happy to have been on some help and good luck with making the flower crowns, I'm sure they will absolutely love them and look super cute too! Tracey x

You are so welcome and I'm so pleased that I've been able to help you with your flowery journey! Tracey x

You’re most welcome!

Oh my goodness I’m so happy to have helped! ❤️

It’s readily available from UK floristry suppliers but you may need to convert it to metric/imperial depending on where you are in the world. Hope that helps Tracey

@@CampbellsFlowers I’m in the states so it’s probably a conversion issue. Thank you!

Ah, its just practice really, I’ve been a florist for quite a few years now but I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’m planning a whole new series over the winter so more coming in the Spring. Tracey

Eres muy bienvenida. Gracias por sus amables palabras ❤

Thank you so much ❤️

You’re most welcome, glad it was of help

So this is a super quick way, which is useful if you want to make well ahead as the stems can be placed in a small container like a jam jar to keep fresh. If you have a look on my channel you’ll find that I also demonstrate how to create a wired design too which of course does give you greater flexibility in your placement. Hope that helps

It very much depends on the weight of material you are working with, different flowers and foliage require stronger or lighter wires. Always use the lightest possible wire. You might want to run through the video again as I definitely cover this - hope that helps.

You're most welcome, so glad you enjoyed it. All the very best Tracey

You can buy wrist bands or wristlets particularly in the US where they are very popular. They make a type of wrist cuff which can be shaped tofit. The wristlets tend to be constructed using elastic so they have quite a bit of give in them, but they reason I use ribbon is that it is much more flexible. With ribbon your can make it really tiny or longer and larger to suit the person wearing it. Hope this helps, thanks so much for watching. Tracey

Hurrah! So glad you loved it. Do subscribe as I’ve got lots of ideas for new content coming up soon.

I would say if you’re not a professional then you would be best to make early on the day and keep in damp tissue. Flower choice is really important in terms of the design lasting so stick with what I used if you can! Hope this helps, good luck!

thank you

So glad you liked it

Hello karoline and thank you so much for your lovely kind words. So I would recommend that you dry the lavender and heather first, before you make the flower crown. The reason is that if you use fresh flowers to create the design and then dry them, the stems will dehydrate which makes them much thinner and no longer secure. You will find that as they dry out, the bindings will move and no longer be secure as you originally worked with stems which were much plumper as they were full of water. I hope this makes sense, if you need any further help, do let me know. And I'd absolutely love to see what you make too, so send me photographs if you can! Tracey x

@@CampbellsFlowers Thank you so much for replying! It makes so much sense, I didn't even consider that. I will have to give it a go! 🤯

I would usually make on the morning I was going to wear it - I usually get up super early on the day of a wedding and make wrist corsages a couple of hours beforehand. No, I never put flowers in a fridge as many blooms dislike cold temperatures. My advise would be to make sure you practice a couple of times beforehand to make sure you know how long it will take you. Good luck!

Amazing! I’m so glad, be sure to send some pictures too, I’d absolutely love to see how you get on ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for taking time to leave a comment and lovely to know there are kindred spirits all over the world! ❤️

Thanks so much hope you enjoyed our video

I did hope you have a good day or night

I use parafilm as that’s what we used at college when I was taught hundreds of years ago! I know some prefer Stemtex but I find it too bulky and it doesn’t get such a nice fine finish as Parafilm (although tbf parafilm is a bit more difficult to use!). I think it’s personal choice and find what you’re taught with! Hope that helps Tracey x

Yes Joe they are real, I talk through which flowers I’ve used and why I selected them in my video, hope that helps. Tracey

Hello, yes you can make the afternoon before, best to leave somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. Its always a good idea to place some damp kitchen roll onto a plate and then add your design, give it a little light misting with water and then add some more damp kitchen roll gently on top. I would suggest you have a practice in advance and then make sure you use exactly the same flowers - that way you'll know whether they all stay nice and fresh or not. Hope that helps Tracey

@@CampbellsFlowers thank you! :)

@@nil9660 you are most welcome! 🙏

Yes I did, two .90 guage wires together to make sure its sturdy enough but still flexible when the flowers are added. Hope that helps Tracey x

@@CampbellsFlowers would you know the uk equivalent to .90 gauge please? Love this tutorial

@@lauracowles7354 I think it’s 20 gauge sorry I was taught the other system and once upon a time when I was teaching I knew them off by heart, but not any longer it seems! .90 gauge is pretty much the strongest wire - a similar gauge to Christmas wreath wires but covered wire. Hope that helps ❤️

Oh how wonderful. I once designed flowers for a handfasting wedding ceremony, which coincided with Beltane. I used hawthorn blossoms (removing the thorns, of course!) and lots of flowers and foliage which had special meanings to the couple. I’m so glad the video was helpful and hope you had a good Beltane.

It can depend on the flowers you use but if you place damp tissue/paper towel/kitchen roll under and over them that will help. I’d make them as last thing as possible the day before but no longer. You can also mist the design with a little water too. Hope that helps Tracey

Ah thank you so much for your kind comments so glad you found it not too tricky, I’m always happy when my tutorials are easy to follow

I would love to see what you come up with, I am doing the same thing!!
