Floral foam

Choose wet foam or dry foam first

Wet floral foam is the right starting point when you work with fresh cut flowers, because product pages describe it as a material that should be soaked in water before use. Dry floral foam is listed for artificial, silk and dried flowers. The Floral foam ball subcategory includes dry grey balls as well as green foam balls, so check the product name and material before ordering. For straight table work, the Floral foam Cube shapes subcategory is useful when you want brick forms, table blocks or square bases.

Match the shape to the arrangement

The shape decides how quickly you can build the design. A brick table decoration measuring about 22cm x 7cm x 5cm is sold in a set of 10 and includes wet foam in a white plastic shell. That makes it a practical option for long tables, counters, window sills and event layouts. Round products suit compact centrepieces, while rings suit wreath work. The Floral foam – Round shapes subcategory includes holders such as a green wet floral foam holder with Ø9cm foam, 5cm foam height and a plastic base.

Use hearts, rings and wreaths for clear themes

Heart and ring forms reduce cutting and help you keep the design recognisable. The Floral foam heart subcategory is useful for wedding decoration, romantic table work and memorial pieces where the outline matters. The Floral foam ring & wreath subcategory is better for circular table designs, ceremony decoration and wreath work. One verified wreath product has wet floral foam in a plastic tray, a ring diameter of about Ø29cm, an inner diameter of about Ø19.5cm and a pack quantity of 2 pieces.

Pick black foam when the base stays visible

Black floral foam is useful when parts of the base remain visible in the finished arrangement. The Floral foam Black subcategory includes black hearts, stars, bricks, rings, table pieces and balls. One verified OASIS® Black Bioline® heart measures about 34cm x 25cm x 4.5cm, is made from wet foam and paper mache, and is sold as 2 pieces. The product page describes uses with fresh cut flowers, silk flowers and dried flowers, plus decorating, painting and writing on the free area of the heart shape.

Use special shapes when cutting would waste material

Special forms save time when you need a strong theme or a shaped base that would be awkward to cut by hand. The Floral foam Special shapes subcategory includes open books, cones, figures and other shaped foam pieces. A verified open book product for fresh flowers measures about 61cm x 31cm, has a lying foam height of about 8cm, reaches about 32cm with its stands and is sold as 1 piece. The page lists wet pin foam in green and notes that two hard material stands are included.

Check size, base and quantity before ordering
