Florists have their trade secrets. Flower matching, ribbon matching, display choice, real flowers or silk flowers, real flowers or candy flowers are just the tip of the floral design iceberg. Key ingredients make or break a project for the floral artist. Floral supplies are the tools used to create those masterpieces, even though all designers have their own specific methods.

Florist’s foam is the starting block for most floral projects. For real flowers wet foam is used: a spongy material designed to hold water and keep the flowers in place. It comes in a variety of grades, each one slightly different, with softer foams for more delicate flowers.

When you use foam there are a couple things you should keep in mind. First of all, to make it easier to work with, you should set the foam just higher than the vase the arrangement will wind up in. Wedge it in there tightly, though, so it will remain in place even after water is added.

Among your list of necessary floral supplies is a craft saw; it’s simply the easiest way to shape foam. However, kitchen knives and wire also work if a craft saw is not available; be warned, be prepared to get covered in foam shavings, no matter what cutting method is used.
