The "Did You Know Series": Did You Know That Floral Tape Is Stronger Than It Looks?
Written by Petal Perfection Flower Company
Floral tape may look like an ordinary little roll of tape, but professional florists use it for some very important jobs.
Did you know that floral tape is one of the hidden tools that helps make many floral designs possible?
Florists use floral tape to secure stems, create grids, support bouquets and help build intricate designs.
One of the most recognizable uses is in bouquet construction.
When a professional florist creates a hand-tied bouquet, the stems need to be positioned carefully so the bouquet maintains its shape.
Floral tape can help secure the structure.
What Makes Floral Tape Different?
Many types of floral tape are designed to stretch and become adhesive as they're pulled.
This allows florists to wrap stems and create secure bundles without covering the entire arrangement in bulky adhesive.
It can also be used in corsage and boutonniere construction.
And here's a fun fact:
A florist can use very small amounts of floral tape in ways the average person would never notice.
That's the point.
Good floral mechanics disappear.
At Petal Perfection Flower Company, mechanics are part of the behind-the-scenes craftsmanship that allows us to create arrangements that are both beautiful and structurally sound.
So the next time you see a gorgeous bouquet, remember:
There may be a little floral tape hiding underneath all that beauty.
