Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
18 gauge or 20 gauge: which should you choose?
18 gauge is thicker and more rigid than 20 gauge. Reserve it for structures, pastillage, and the heaviest flowers; 20 gauge is suitable for the main stems of large, classic flowers such as peonies.
Can it be used for a multi-tier arrangement?
Yes, that's its main use. Twist several 18-gauge stems together to form a central mast, then distribute the flowers mounted on finer gauges along the structure.
Can the wire be inserted directly into the cake?
No. Like all floral wires, it is not edible. Protect each stem with a food-safe straw or a dedicated support before inserting it, and remove everything before cutting and serving.
