Custom Wired Ribbon
We make wired ribbon for the shape of the bow. Sheer organza gives a floral bow open loops. Opaque polyester or velvet can fill a large wreath or window display.
What a wired edge can do
- Open loops can stand away from a wreath frame.
- Sheer organza shows the layers behind it.
- Velvet fills the loop with an opaque face. Its sheen changes as the pile turns.
- A wired edge can hold a curve or a pointed fold.
- Ribbon orders start at 50 meters.
Edge, body and finished bow
Wire in the edge lets the florist bend each loop without a separate frame. For different display sizes, the ribbon can have a sheer center, a solid face or a velvet finish.
Shaped loops
A wide loop can bend outward and be reshaped by hand.
Sheer layers
Overlapping organza darkens where two layers cross.
Opaque bows
Opaque ribbon gives a loop a clear outline against foliage.
Velvet finish
Pile changes shade as the fabric turns around the loop.
Visible edge
The edge can match the center or draw a line around it.
Display formats
Rolls suit shaping on site. We can discuss preformed bows separately.
Wired styles for different displays
Sheer, solid and velvet-faced ribbons show different amounts of light and color inside the loop.
Wired ribbon for bows and displays
The same wired edge can shape a light floral bow or support a fuller holiday display.
-
Wired Ribbon
Broad loops can form a raised bow on a wreath. -
Wired Organza Ribbon
Sheer organza shows the layer behind the loop. -
Wired Edge Ribbon
Wired floral ribbon can curve around a display base or branch. -
Wired Holiday Ribbon
A seasonal repeat can show across the front of the loops.
Bow width and loop size
Wire runs along both edges. Ribbon width sets how much fabric lies between them. The length of each loop sets how far the bow projects.
-
Large loop
A long curve stands farther from a wreath frame. -
Narrow face
A narrow strip leaves more open space around each loop. -
Broad face
A wider strip fills the space between the shaped edges. -
Tail cut
Short or long tails can hang below the center tie.
Color through a wired bow
The ribbon and its wired edge can give the loop two distinct outlines.
-
Sheer center
Overlapping sheer fabric looks darker where the layers cross. -
Solid face
An opaque band carries one continuous color across the loop. -
Velvet pile
Velvet can change shade as the pile turns around a bend. -
Edge detail
A contrasting edge traces the line of the bow.
Shaping loops and tails
A single roll can form an open arch, tighter inner loops and turned tails in one layered bow.
-
Wreath loop
Broad outer curves leave room for branches around the frame. -
Display bow
Tighter inner loops can conceal the center tie. -
Turned tail
A slight bend turns the cut end away from the front. -
Sheer overlay
A sheer organza loop lets the color of an opaque layer show through.
Rolls or formed bows
Florists can shape bows from rolls or discuss ordering finished bows separately.
-
Bench rolls
Wrapped rolls suit repeated cutting and shaping. -
Spool fit
Roll width, outside diameter and core opening determine holder fit. -
Shaped pieces
A formed bow needs room around the raised loops. -
Display groups
We can group widths or colors by arrangement or site.
Materials for a wired edge
A wired edge can frame light, sheer cloth or a fuller, opaque fabric.
Ribbon around the wire
Wired organza forms airy loops that show the foliage behind them. The reinforced edge keeps the outline clear even when the center is nearly transparent.
Sheer organza ribbon options
Wired or unwired?
Soft silk or chiffon tails fall below a bouquet. Wired loops can stand away from a wreath or display in the same color scheme.
Ribbon for bouquet ties and floral displays
Velvet with a wired edge
The velvet pile reflects and absorbs light differently around a bend. The inner curve may look darker. The wire holds the shape.
Velvet ribbon surfaces
Where the wire sits
The edge wire holds a bend. The fabric between the edges still drapes under its own weight. The same construction can shape light floral loops or fuller velvet bows.
A bow for your display
The frame or display size helps us plan the ribbon body, edge and loop size.
