If you have a picture of what you are talking about, that might help us find something for you. I'm clueless as to what this might be.
Maybe more of a description? Is it the cone that flowers slide into for bouquets or the cloth that you wrap around a bouquet? Sorry, trying but I got nuthin right now !

If you are talking about the silver ones, those are called "tussy mussy" or "tussie mussie"

No like something to wrap the stem...I don't have a pic that is what I am looking for!
There has to be something that is pre-made with velcro or something that will go over the stem by just wrapping it..
Am I making any sense :whoa:????

The only ones I have seen have always been ribbon or lace or fabric etc that is wrapped around the stems of the flowers. Because the size of the bouquet, plus the size of the individual stem of whatever flower is being used varies so much - I think it might be tough to have a pre-made cover. But if you've seen them, they must be out there. I will do some searching - now I am curious! :D
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for or not, but here is what I found...

I think this is what you are looking for - they are called bouquet sleeves or bouquet cozy. Look a smidge more than 1/2 way down this page. (Hope thats it at least)

I don't think I have ever seen this before; I have pretty much only seen bouquet stems wrapped in ribbon or in a silver tussy mussy.

I think this is just ribbon wrapped around the stems, though. I don't know that there's a name for it-- "wrap" like you suggested, maybe?
I saw a smaller, fake-pearl pre-made one at Walmart when I was working on my bouquet... Otherwise, I'm not sure where else you'd find one. Michael's?

You can get this look with ribbon, even wrapped about the bottom on the stems. You could add the "button" embellishments if you want too, but remember you will have to carry it and it may not be comfortable with all that on there.

I think it is the ribbons...I just was thinking there was something that my mom could slap on the stems once I have them all together....
I am doing the flowers being handed to me as I go down the aisle!

How about wraping a pretty handkerchief around it with a ribbon in a bow?

I was planning on making one of these myself. Just doing a simple corset style. If you take a small piece of cloth ( I recomend making it about 1 to 2 inches smaller than you need) then adding rivets to both sides and lace it up with a ribbon. Then when you give her your flowers to wrap she just needs to put the corset around them, tighten up the ribbon and tie it.

That's a great idea. I'm doing the same thing missmess is...having people hand me flowers that will become my bouquet.
A corset-type thing would make it easy to attach and would also match my theme. :geek:
