"The next step at creating a boutonniere is you take your bundles and you wrap the tape around them together. This is when you can look to see of how it's going to fit up on your shoulder, anything that 's going to intrude or be too big, like these two pieces. You need to make sure you take care of that somehow. At this point, is when you can add any of your bling or wire or anything you want to add into it. It's always nice to have something in there that correlates with the bride, or with the girl. You can tell we do a lot of brides. Try to keep it as light and as simple as possible. And then you just run the tape all the way down the wire. I would do it a couple times, simply because you're going to be bending it, and it's the part that you're going to need to be able to stick that pin through it, to pin it onto the corsage, onto the jacket. Just pull, and it will pop right off to create the end, and there's your boutonniere. Make sure you have any little design elements you want to look at and it looks good. And there's your finished boutonniere."
