Chrysanthemum, asters, daisies, and other flat-faced flowers are wired for corsages using which method?

Cross-wiring
Hook-wiring
Single-wiring
Poke-wiring

The correct answer is: Hook-wiring

Wiring flat-faced flowers like chrysanthemums, asters, and daisies is effectively accomplished using the hook-wiring method. This technique involves inserting a wire through the flower stem and bending it to create a hook that grips the stem securely. This method is particularly useful for flat-faced flowers because it allows the flower head to sit flat and be supported without tilting or shifting, which ensures that the corsage maintains its shape and appearance. Using hook-wiring helps provide the floral arrangement with stability, making it more resilient for wear in a corsage. This method is especially advantageous since flat-faced flowers require specific attention to ensure they are properly anchored, allowing them to showcase their beauty effectively in wearable floral designs.
