Anyone else making their bouquets out of silk flower's?

Thanks! Yeah, I am getting mine from Hobby Lobby, too. I just went today and looked around at the different options. My options were, either to go with the ones that are a "fatter" stem but not as open of a rose. Or, a more open stem and a skinny stem. SO I don't know what to do because I like the look of the open rose for a bouquet.

Here is the one I like, but not sure how to make the stems look thicker.

Here is the one with the more "closed" rose but thicker stem. A bit of a price difference, too.

I just want it to not look skinny on the stems.

After I finished putting my flowers together, wrapping with florist tape, I wrapped the bottom with felt first (it gave it the full look and also hid any "valves" in the stems, giving it a smooth/even look) then I wrapped the base with my ribbon.

Etsy sells stem covers ...i went to hoppy lobby and theirs already made bouquets has them on their stems..for more finished look.but couldn't find stem covers there.

I'm also doing silk for all my flowers!!

I’m making my daughters bridal bouquet with silk flowers. I bought mine at Hobby Lobby. The problem is the stems are different colors and sizes. I’m not sure if I should try to hide the stems completely or if it’s ok that they’re different.

I'm a silk bouquet florist and I use straws around my stems to make them appear thicker or they also work as a good spacer so you use less flowers if anyone is interested in silk bouquets my website is www.weddingbouquetsetc.com or Facebook Sami Marney from wa. Thanks
