Hi There,

Floral tape can be purchased through a Floral Supply company or a craft store.  There are two basic types of tape…bowl tape or stem wrap.  The bowl tape is one sided cloth tape that is very sticky and normally comes in green or white in 1/4″ or 1/2″ sizes.  You can also get clear bowl tape, which looks like scotch tape, only in the 1/4″, 1/2″ or 1″ wide sizes.

Stemwrap comes in light green, dark green, white, brown, black or olive .  It doesn’t feel very sticky, and in fact, is only sticky on the underneath side.  It is used primarily for taping flowers that you are wiring for a corsage or boutonniere.  The normal stem wrap comes in 1/2″ size.  However, it is also available in green or white only, in a 1″ size.

I most often use the light green color because it matches the natural stem color of most flowers.   Sometimes I will have a wedding where one of the colors is brown or black…and if that is the case, I will use the brown or black stem wrap to tie into the colors of the wedding.

Depending upon where you are buying your stem wrap, you may not have all the color options above.  You will always be able to find a green color stem wrap though.
