Floating Autumn
The base of this arrangement consists of a wooden plank to which five lampshades are attached. The wooden legs make it appear as if the plank is “floating.” The lampshades were filled with coiled grasses. A bird has even built its nest here—which remained among the lampshades after the eggs hatched. The inverted lampshades are filled with Oasis and arranged with, among other things: Dahlia ‘Hapet Harmony,’ Epidendrum, Phalaenopsis, Tillandsia, poppy seed pods, Sempervivum, wild marjoram, and Lagurus ovatus (hare’s tail).
A Radiant Fall
The base of this radiant fall arrangement is a plastic Christmas ornament. A hole was drilled into it, and legs were attached to the ornament. This immediately creates a watertight base. The ornament is covered with various types and colors of glass beads. Finally, the arrangement was finished with flowers whose colors complement the vase, such as Phalaenopsis ‘Altena’, Allium senescens, Phlox ‘Butterfly’, and Passiflora.
Mushrooms
These beautiful tree stumps are wrapped in floral wire and feature a candle holder and a candle. The arrangement is finished with preserved mushrooms. A small dish filled with Oasis has been placed in the center. Materials used include Dahlia ‘Hapet Harmony,’ Orlaya ‘White Finch,’ and Phalaenopsis.
Pine cones
This vintage lampshade is lined with Oasis Sec, which was secured with polyurethane foam. The arrangement was created using Banksia and pinecones. Interspersed among them are wooden candlesticks with yellow candles and small glass tubes. Other materials used include Heliopsis ‘Red Shades’ and Lavatera.
On a standard—
Joyce combines five dried Heliconia into one large arrangement. She arranged beautiful flowers in between them. “It could easily be a cool bridal bouquet, but I hung this one on a stand.” Materials used include: Heliconia ‘She Kong,’ Phalaenopsis ‘Exclusivo Pikachu,’ Phalaenopsis ‘Crème,’ Tillandsia, clematis fluff, Sarracenia, and Physalis skeleton.
Landscape in Lines
Sustainable Oasis floral foam on a rectangular base forms the foundation of this funeral arrangement. Whitewash bonsai twigs are arranged over the floral foam and naturally bound together with floral wire. Delphinium ‘Andes Azure’, Eryngium ‘Magnetar Questar’, Ammi majus, and Chasmanthium grasses are incorporated between and through the twigs. The loose, field-like arrangement gives the whole an almost pastoral character. Asplenium fronds, with their grayish hue, provide a soft transition between the colors and materials and bring a sense of calm and cohesion.
