Bali vibes
For the base of this plant arrangement, a round circle was sawn from a sheet of MDF. Metal pins are sprayed gold and attached to the wooden plate. Blue velvet is then stretched over this and attached to the bottom with a tacker. The bottoms of sapucaia nuts are drilled and attached to the pins. A mix of different types of Philodendron plants are playfully incorporated into the nuts. The whole is finished with self-made brown Bio Oasis stones that are placed between the plant roots with satay skewers. Tendrils of the passionflower complete it.
Wavy
On two wooden planks, holes have been drilled at random in which copper welding wires of different lengths have been inserted to create a wave. Small glass tubes are attached to the ends with tie wraps. Stripped Asparagus branches form the airy base. Gloriosa ‘Exotic Orange’, Asclepias ‘Soulmate’, Anemone ‘September Charm’ and Briza media are inserted into the tubes.
On discovery
Oasis TerraBrick Floral Media is placed in a beautiful handmade bowl. All processed flowers are first carefully cleaned, after which all flower heads are processed at one height and only using insertion techniques. Many beautiful varieties in colors appropriate to the theme are incorporated into the disc shape, which is built up with a curve. To be discovered are: chrysanthemums, Zantedeschia, Sanguisorba, Guzmania, dill, Talinum, Dianthus, lisianthus, Rudbeckia, grasses, and Clematis fluff.
Extra special
A handmade base with oil luster in which six beautiful specimens of Guzmania are planted. A lilac branch is sprayed gold and, as it were, ‘grows’ through the plants. Also, beautiful leaf shapes are made ‘freehand’ from 2mm thick gold-colored aluminum wire: a beautiful decorative technique to make a plant arrangement even more special.
Surprise Bouquet
The base of this surprise bouquet is a bowl made of salmon-colored aluminum wire (2 mm) using the chicken wire technique. The flowers, in burgundy, deep red, and lighter shades, are incorporated along the sides in the bowl shape of the frame, the stems also hold the frame up. A number of flowers have special shapes such as Guzmania, Phalaenopsis, chrysanthemum, Gloriosa, and Celosia. Sanguisorba, Talinum, Scabiosa, Clematis Amazing Kibo, lisianthus, Zantedeschia, and grasses are incorporated in between and along the outside.
Plant vases
Two vases with a strong shape have been pimped by covering them with angelwings seeds – this works great (and quite fast) with hot glue. Subsequently, two Guzmania specimens were planted in the vases and self-adhesive woven mourning ribbon, in the color of the Guzmania plants, gave the whole an extra accent. Because of the color and powerful design, this pair fits perfectly within the theme Lush Natural Elegance.
