Spent three hours trying to get a new floral foam to hold heavy stems

It was for a big wedding arch in Chicago last month. I finally figured out you need to soak the foam, then wrap the base in chicken wire before adding the flowers. Anyone have a better method for securing heavy hydrangeas?

Barbaraschmidt's thicker foam plus zip ties through the chicken wire.

Chicken wire is a solid fix. Have you tried using a thicker foam block and cutting it to fit the arch shape first?
