Bride bouquets staining dress?

I love the look of having the green stems of the bouquet showing at the bottom, but my florist insists this is a bad idea, that the green from the stems will get on my dress. I really don't like the look of the stems completely wrapped. Does anyone know of a way to keep the stems exposed w/o getting green on the dress?

mine were in water up to the time I was dressed and taking pics, and they were exposed and NOTHING got on my dress....my florist just said when we took them out of the water to blot them with a paper towel and were good to go...and she was right...we had no problems at all

I had my stems exposed and they did not stain my dress at all!

My stems were showing and I had no problems. I did, however, have a little bleeding from my bo-k, but the red came right out with a Q-tip and some seltzer.
