3. Attach a special teip tape to the glass, attach a cotton swab dipped in water to the place of the cut of the stem, wrap it with thin wire and place it under the tape. This process is called taping..
4. Using pebbles, beads, nets, hide sloppy areas of work and wait until the glue hardens..
5. Spray the flowers, hide the finished glasses under the bag and refrigerate until the celebration, so that the plants retain their shape and beauty.

Note: fresh flowers should be the same as those used in the bride’s bouquet and in the groom’s boutonniere..
