What are stub wires and and how is stub wire used by florist?

Stub wire is a thin and flexible wire that florists use for a variety of purposes in floral arrangements. Here are some ways that florists use stub wire:

1. Wiring flowers: Florists use stub wire to reinforce the stems of delicate flowers such as orchids or lilies. They insert a short piece of wire into the stem just below the flower head, and then bend the wire to create a hook that they can use to attach the flower to a larger arrangement.

   

2. Creating corsages and boutonnieres: Florists also use stub wire to create corsages and boutonnieres. They attach the wire to the base of a flower or leaf, and then wrap it with floral tape to create a stem. This makes it easier to attach the flower to a pin or magnet.

3. Making floral sculptures: Some florists use stub wire to create intricate floral sculptures or shapes. They bend and twist the wire into different shapes and then attach flowers and other materials to create a unique design.

Overall, stub wire is a versatile tool that florists use to create beautiful and complex floral arrangements.  View Lost Land Interiors' full range of stub wire here.
