Oh my, these are stunning!!! So wish I was closer, I'd be at your stall every week :) Even though I have a flower field of my own I never can resist scooping up some flowery beauty when I see it. These are just so pretty! Can you share you brown paper wrapping procedure? It looks like you make your own? I use premades but they are awkward and I need a change.
All I do is buy those huge rolls of kraft paper. We made a wrapping table out of an old door, painted it with chalkboard paint (as shown above) and made device like the one shown here http://www.uline.ca/BL_1951/Kraft-Paper-Rolls.
When I wrap them to put them in the buckets I fold the paper into a triangle and wrap the bouquets like a cone so the stems can be in water. When someone buys it, I unwrap it, unfold the triangle so it is a square/rectangle and wrap it with the stems covered. Then I just tie it with twine and attach a tag to the twine!
It's probably not the most time efficient, but I use the Kraft paper for so many other things- lining boxes for deliveries, Lining boxes for boutonnieres and corsages etc! I like the look of it, and it's fairly cheap!
