How Do You Wire Orchids For Corsages?
There are many reasons for a beautiful orchid corsage including Mother’s Day, graduation, prom and weddings just to name a few. They are easier to make than you might imagine. Follow these tips to make your own orchid corsages. Make 2 pins with two pieces of stub wire. One of the wires should be a little shorter than the other. Thread both wire pins down the shaft of the calyx (middle of orchid) and pierce through the bottom coming out on either side of the stem. The top of the wire pin can be bent just a tad and pulled deep into the middle of the orchid. Starting beneath the flower, tape the stem and wire by twisting the stem into the tape rather than the tape around the wire. Do this for both flowers. You are securing your orchids on the wire stem, which is covered lightly in floral tape. Hold your two orchids together in an appealing way, preferably with the smaller one a little lower that the larger one, and then also add the ivy leaves or your choice of floral filler. Work with it
