Flower Picks & Sprays

Size and structure. A spray is a small branch: 3–7 blooms or buds arranged along one wired stem, 8–18 inches long — it fills gaps and trails. A pick is a single accent on a short 4–8 inch stem — one berry cluster, one bud, one leaf — it places a point of color precisely. In finish work the division of labor is clean: sprays fill, picks place. Both are wired, both cut and bend for attachment, and both forms state their piece counts per set so a build's finishing arithmetic closes before checkout.

For a full dressed run, roughly one pick per 6 inches of circumference: an 18 in. wreath takes 9–10, a 22–24 in. wreath 11–13, a 30 in. wreath 15–16. Accent-cluster styling (three or four cluster zones instead of a full run) drops that to 5–6 picks on a standard wreath — the difference between a garden-full look and a structured one. Sprays trade at roughly two picks per spray where the join points need blurring. Berry and bud accents layer on top at 3–4 per wreath. The counts are worth doing once: finish material is cheap per piece and annoying to run short of mid-build.

Three methods by build weight: tuck-and-wire for wreaths that will be re-dressed (bend the pick's stem, tuck it into the base layer's binding, wrap with floral wire — removable later); hot glue at the entry point for permanent builds, holding until set; and zip-tie or floral-wire lash for heavy berry picks on metal frames. The wire in every pick is the attachment mechanism — bend to face the viewer first, attach second, because a correctly-faced pick needs no do-over. A 60-second attachment demo is linked on the product pages, the same as the boutonniere line.

They are the standard material for both, with method notes. Packages: short-stem picks with the wire wrapped in ribbon or taped (bare wire can catch wrapping paper); a satin bloom plus a berry pick is the classic two-piece topper. Wedding cars: picks and sprays attach via suction cups, magnetic bases or ribbon ties to door handles — never adhesive directly on paint; a spray on a suction cup at each door handle photographs well and removes clean. The same wired construction that makes picks positionable on wreaths makes them re-arrangeable on a car between photos.

Listed per product, by part: berry clusters are typically PE or foam beads on wired stems (the stated material matters for outdoor use — PE beads shed water, foam berries soften in prolonged damp); buds are foam or fabric; leaves are fabric or PE film, wired. The line's disclosure rule applies at the smallest scale: every pick states its head material because the layers of a finished build mix materials by design, and knowing which is which is what lets a maker plan hand-feel and weather exposure. The sample box carries representative pieces of each material family if the differences need a hand check first.
