another bok question

ok..so i heard back from my florist about the bok b/c i told her i wanted it fully wrapped

she said that since it's july, she would prefer leaving the stems showing, because she's worried about wilting

sooooo my two possibilities:

wrap them all the way, and worry about wilting
wrap them with stems showing, and worry about staining

since flowers are such a big expense & will be in the majority of the pictures, i would go with wrapping them with the stems showing.

then just tell everyone who is holding boks to make sure they don't lean the stem on their dresses.

ITA!

wow, i didn't even think about staining . I think you'll be fine with the stems showing...it's a big investment and I'm sure you want your moneys worth!

I was gonna say screw it and cover those stems! After the ceremony and photos, you're done with the bo-k. But, your dress will still have a stain all night long if it touches the stems.

However, the girls above make a good point!

I thought part of the reason they wrap them is because they can put something in there that retains water and then just wrap it well with like saran wrap or whatever to keep it from leaking before they wrap it with ribbon to hide all of the ugliness going on underneath. But then again I may have no idea what I am talking about.

yes, this is what I was told too, and after the pictures and the entrance to your reception you are not holding your flowers - I am having my stems wrapped.

that is what my florist is doing!!

the only reason they get wrapped is because it makes the bok easier to hold.
i've been a bridesmaid with wrapped & unwrapped & it makes a difference.

i would be worried that a small wad of wet paper towel would leak out & then you may end up with a wet spot on the dresses.
