Floral cushion
Paper coffee filters were used to create a structure that gives the impression of a large and soft cushion. In it, water tubes with flowers of Clematis 'Amazing Tokyo', tendrils of Ceropegia woodii and Alocasia 'Polly' leaves are evenly attached. The paper structure has great effect even with relatively few flowers.
On a bed of clay
For the base, a clay base was made that cracked as it dried - creating a lived-in aspect. A light structure was bound with iron wire and wrapped with bindwire from Oasis. Water tubes partially wrapped with bindwire were attached to this structure. After the structure is secured in the clay, a floral arrangement is created with sturdy Jatropha 'Firecracker', Anthurium mini and Begonia leaf combined with frilly Gloriosa superba 'Simba Fifty Shades'. Typha grass provides connection.
Heartwarming embrace
Around an Oasis wreath is tied the dried leaves of the Strelitzia which provides a solid embrace for the red center. This center of warm red flowers consists of Hydrangea 'Ruby Red', Rosa 'Ducati' and Scabiosa 'Dark Cherry'. Playful sprigs of Talinum paniculatum 'Long John' bring some lightness and sophistication to the composition.
Floating heart
A floating arrangement is very suitable for an ash scattering on the water, as well as for a waterfront memorial ceremony. To make the arrangement "float," Oasis Sec blocks were secured under the wood disc. Holes were then drilled into the wood disc in the shape of a heart. A warm color palette of botanical materials was placed in the holes. The materials "float" above the wood disc and drink their moisture directly from the surface water. Botanical materials: Astrantia, Chrysanthemum, Crocosmia, Dahlia, Heliopsis, lisianthus, Scabiosa and Zinnia.
Embrace
For the base of this arrangement, pieces of pulp cane were glued parallel to each other on a cardboard circle with wood glue. A bowl of Oasis Bio floral foam was placed in the center and attached to the circle. The space where the urn will be placed was marked out, then around the urn the flowers were placed at different heights and in different groups, like an embrace. Flowers and green materials used: Dahlia, Rosa, Daucus, Sandersonia, Ornithogalum, Oenothera (primrose), Centaurea (cornflower) and Asparagus plumosus.
Floral wave
The base of the waveform was formed from aluminum wire and Oasis Rustic Wire. Then the water tubes were wrapped with bindwire from Oasis and attached in the wavy base. In the water tubes, white callas (Zantedeschia) are arranged in the flowing lines of the arrangement. Tillandsia plants and Asparagus plumosus help provide a natural base.
