More with less
Inspiration for this bouquet is the theme of sustainability - how to create a lot of effect with few flowers. The base is a structure of fine branches: Salix and Chaenomeles japonica. Vertical branches are attached to two circles of fine Salix branches each time. When the branches are firmly together and structure remains stable, the fine flowers can be added: Craspedia, Gloriosa, French tulips, Sandersonia and leaves of Begonia maculata leaves. Then the whole is placed in a flat gold-colored bowl with water.
Contrasting
Blooming grasses from the garden were tied into small bundles with fine bouillon wire - for this arrangement, some 350 bundles were tucked onto a base of Oasis Sec floral foam. At the center of this grass object, or table piece for Easter, glass tubes were inserted into the floral foam and filled with spring flowers: Craspedia, French tulips, mimosa 'Mirandol', small-flowered daffodils and Ranunculus 'Butterfly'.
A touch of sunshine
The mix of light-colored grasses and flowers in a variety of shades of yellow, together with a soft and airy structure, make this bouquet radiate energy and optimism. The base is a metallic wreath on which fine grasses such as Stipa pennata and yellow hare's tail (Lagurus) are bound. At the heart is a sheaf of coral bound bouquet with soft yellow Ranunculus, warm yellow spray roses, creamy green Helleborus, greenish yellow Fritillaria and tough yellow Craspedia.
Flower spiral
The base is a cat's nest on a metal base. For this nest structure formed from Salix branches, all the branches were tied piece by piece on the base and then clamped together. The nest structure is multi-use - a spiral of soft flowers was chosen to perfectly match the soft catkins.
A mix of flowers is tucked onto an Oasis garland: salmon-colored cluster ¬roses, Rosa 'Bombastic', soft pink Hydrangea and Eustoma 'Wed Pink', fuchsia-colored Clematis 'Amazing Kyiv' boost the color scheme. A few more leaves of Begonia maculata were staked as an accent.
Soft floral heart
At the center is the soft loveliness of willow (Salix) catkins. The centerpiece of the bouquet is a styrofoam ball completely covered with catkins. Three poker wires are inserted into the edge of the styrofoam and form the handle. Several Salix branches are attached to a metal ring with binding wire to form an airy wreath. The wreath is attached to the sphere. Between the willow ¬branches are inserted the flowers - with their soft warm colors they emphasize the softness of the heart of the bouquet. Flowers used: Tulipa, Ranunculus, Dianthus.
Nesting site
In early spring, life returns: birds sing, bulbs sprout, buds come out. This egg-shaped nest is the representation of a cozy place where small living things can nest or hide. The base is a balloon on which Compactuna is applied. Then the balloon is wrapped in mustard yellow rope where an opening is provided. After drying well, the rope hardens and the nest can be placed on a gold-colored metal pin with base. The spring flowers are incorporated into Oasis Bio floral foam. Flowers used: Hyacinthus, Muscari, Rosa, Dianthus, Limonium, Clematis and Mentha.
