Floral Foam & Table Deco FAQs

What is wet floral foam used for?

Wet floral foam is used to support fresh flower stems while holding water within an arrangement. It is commonly used by florists for bouquets, centrepieces, event flowers, and other floral designs where flowers need both support and access to moisture.

Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam is designed as an everyday floral foam option for professional and high-volume floristry use. Each brick measures 23 x 11 x 8cmH and is supplied in cartons of 60 bricks.

How do I prepare floral foam for fresh flowers?

Place the floral foam in water and allow it to soak fully before inserting your flower stems. Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam has an approximate 60-second soak time and is designed for high water absorption. Avoid forcing the foam underwater, as allowing floral foam to absorb water naturally helps it become evenly saturated. For more information, see our video on how to soak floral foam. 

What is Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam?

Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam is a wet floral foam designed as an everyday-essential option for florists, wholesalers, and other floral professionals. It offers a practical choice for regular and high-volume floristry while maintaining the performance required for professional floral arrangements.

How does Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam compare with Strass IDEAL Floral Foam?

Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam is designed to offer comparable performance to Strass IDEAL while providing a more value-focused option. Both have the same 23 x 11 x 8cmH brick dimensions, with Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam also offering a fast soak time and high water absorption.

What accessories can I use with Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam?

Get It Fresh Premium Floral Foam can be used with existing Strass floral foam accessories, including Strass Cage Plastic Single and Double products and florist chicken wire. This makes it easy for florists to incorporate the foam into existing floral design techniques and workflows.

What is an oval Table Deco?

An oval Table Deco is a pre-shaped wet floral foam base with rounded ends, designed for table arrangements, centrepieces and other floral displays. The oval profile provides an alternative to traditional rectangular Table Deco shapes and can work particularly well with curved, rounded, or flowing floral designs.

When should I choose an oval Table Deco instead of a rectangular Table Deco?

Choose an oval Table Deco when you want a softer, rounded shape for centrepieces, curved table settings or wreath-style arrangements. Rectangular Table Deco remains useful for straight-edged designs, so the best option depends on the shape and scale of the arrangement you are creating.

What sizes are the Strass Oval Table Deco?

The Strass Oval Table Deco is available in two formats:

  • Large: 53 x 17.5 x 9.5cmH

  • Medium: 30 x 17.5 x 8.5cmH

Both provide more foam volume than their closest rectangular Table Deco equivalents, making them particularly useful for fuller centrepieces and larger-scale table arrangements.

How should floral foam be stored?

Store unused floral foam in its original packaging in a dry area away from direct sunlight. Wet floral foam should be fully soaked before use, and Table Deco foam should be kept hydrated once it has been cut or shaped for an arrangement.
