Bali vibes
For the base of this plant arrangement, a round circle was cut from a sheet of MDF. Metal pegs were sprayed gold and attached to the wooden board. Blue velvet was then stretched over this, which was attached at the bottom with a tacker. The bases of sapucaia nuts were drilled in and attached to the pegs. A mix of different species of Philodendron plants were playfully incorporated into the nuts. The whole thing was finished off with homemade brown Bio Oasis pebbles placed between the plant roots with satay sticks. Tendrils of passion flower finish it off.
Wavy
Holes were drilled at random on two wooden boards into which copper welding wires of different lengths were inserted to create a wave. Small glass tubes are attached to the ends with tie-wraps. Stripped Asparagus branches form the airy base. Inserted into the tubes are Gloriosa 'Exotic Orange,' Asclepias 'Soulmate,' Anemone 'September Charm' and Briza media.
On discovery
Oasis TerraBrick Floral Media was placed in a beautiful handmade bowl. All processed flowers were first carefully cleaned after which all flower heads were processed at one height and only by stitching technique. Many beautiful varieties in colors to match the theme have been incorporated into the spherical disk shape. Discover chrysanthemums, Zantedeschia, Sanguisorba, Guzmania, dill, Talinum, Dianthus, lisianthus, Rudbeckia, grasses and Clematis fluff.
Extra special
A handmade base with oil chandelier in which six beautiful specimens of Guzmania are planted. A lilac branch is sprayed in gold color and 'grows' as it were through the plants. Beautiful leaf shapes have also been made 'freehand' from 2mm thick gold 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 bordeaux, deep red and lighter shades, are incorporated into the bowl shape of the frame along the sides, the stems also holding up the frame. Some of the flowers have special shapes such as Guzmania, Phalaenopsis, Chrysanthemum, Gloriosa and Celosia. In between and along the outside are incorporated Sanguisorba, Talinum, Scabiosa, Clematis Amazing Kibo, lisianthus, Zantedeschia and grasses.
Plant Vases
Two vases with a strong shape were pimped up by sticking them with angelwings seeds - this goes well (and quite quickly) with hot glue. Next, two Guzmania specimens were planted in the vases and self-adhesive woven mourning ribbon, in the color of the Guzmania plants, was used to give the whole thing an extra accent. Because of the color and powerful design, this pair fit perfectly within the Lush Natural Elegance theme.
