Just figured out I've been overcomplicating my rose arrangements for years
A bride in Austin pointed out my bouquets looked stiff, and she was totally right. How do you guys keep things looking loose and natural?

Actually, wiring every stem is what makes them stiff in the first place. You can get that loose look by hand-tying the bouquet instead, which lets the stems move more freely. It feels weird at first, but it gives you a much more natural shape.

Yeah, that's a super common trap. I stopped wiring every single stem and started grouping a few blooms together with tape first, then building out. Let some stems cross each other, and don't trim everything to the same exact length. What kind of roses are you working with?
