It's really a preference. Many florists discourage exposed stems bc they could still have moisture in them and thus stain your dress if you're not careful. I personally favored them anyway and didn't get any flower stains on me.

Re: Bo-K's: Stems exposed or not exposed?
I originally wanted stems wrapped but when i went for my final meeting with my florist, I changed my mind to stems NOT exposed and I had no problem whatsoever with bleeding or staining my dress or the bridesmaids- I loved them - we had a satin wrap to match my BM dresses with 3 pearl pins on them - so nice!

BY exposed, do you mean wrapped down to almost the end, but about a 1/2 inch of stem peeking out? Or do you mean wrapped stems or not wrapped stems?

Wrapped with about with 1 inch or so of stem peeking out - if your florist is good, the stems won't bleed at all.

I meant wrapped with silk, but with 1/2' or so of the stems at the bottom exposed...

I originally told my florist to wrap the stems completely, but last week changed my mind and asked for them to wrap them and leave a little on the bottom exposed.

That's what I'm doing.

Im NOT a big fan of them esposed. I think it looks more elegant covered, plus you dont have to worry about a mess

My florist wrapped mine with pretty white ribbon and pinned it together. The pins looked like pearls. Very pretty.

if you want the stems exposed but are worried about staining have your florist wrap the ends of the stems with floral tape - its green to match the stems, you can't tell its there and it will protect from staining
