Cuddly
A polystyrene heart with a felt layer is painted to tone down the bright color somewhat. The pipe cleaners – also soft and cuddly – are placed on a wire frame using a chicken wire technique and formed around the heart.
The various beautiful carnations fit well in terms of color and structure in this bouquet and are also very easy to incorporate between and under the pipe cleaners. Furthermore, Scabiosa flowers and seed pods are incorporated, as well as the pink bracts of Vriesea – beautiful varieties to incorporate in compact bouquets. The two Phalaenopsis flowers are in tubes; they match perfectly in color and complete the arrangement beautifully.
Subdued
For this Mother's Day bouquet in beautiful shades of brown, 5mm aluminum wires are wrapped with metallic wool, interspersed with a brown fabric heart. A beautiful symbolism: the heart is pierced with a single thread, and the remaining threads 'grow' around it, as do the flowers that weave through the threads. Sanguisorba, Talinum 'Long John', Cambria orchid, Phalaenopsis, Gloriosa, Japanese Allium, Scabiosa, beautiful brown carnations, and fragrant Polianthes tuberosa are incorporated here.
Natural with colour
Flowers and various leaf shapes are formed from natural-colored Smithers Oasis Rustic Wire, each drilled into a wooden base of the natural foundation and then secured around the glass vases with Smithers Oasis paper wire. This immediately appears decorative, and the bases can be arranged in many different ways – truly all colors suit the neutral base. Here, Gloriosa, carnations, Talinum ‘Long John’, Japanese Allium, Guzmania, Anthurium, and Syngonium leaves have been chosen for some tranquility.
Nice and luxurious
Cute giveaway vases sell well! These luxury arrangements are based on a (reusable) wooden flower. A number of aluminum wires are placed between the flower petals, which not only have a decorative function but also a technical one: they keep all the flowers in the place where you want them. The processed flowers are Ornithogalum, Nerine, snowberry and Phalaenopsis.
A golden edge
The base of this frame bouquet consists of two wreaths attached to each other with gold-colored olive leaves. By putting them on wire, a handle has been created; a quick way to make a beautiful frame for this Mother's Day bouquet.
Many different materials have been used, including many beautiful varieties in tubes – this offers many possibilities for shop work. Here are applied: Craspedia, Gloriosa, Clematis fluff, Phalaenopsis, Passiflora vines, roses, Guzmania and beautiful Alocasia leaf.
Tender spring
This sheaf-tied bouquet contains a range of all possible trendy spring colors: Anemone, Muscari, Ranunculus, Hyacinthus. Salmon-colored hares tails (Lagurus) play a leading role and provide an endearing accent.
