Minimalism
Inspired by the Japanese art of Ikebana, this refined composition follows the principle of 'less is more', showing respect for each individual material. A clear glass vase is filled exclusively with compostable elements. The flower stems are supported by an internal latticework of Cornus branches, creating a clean, elegant composition without the use of floral foam or wire. The design cleverly utilizes negative space, highlighting the unique beauty of each flower.
Bulbs
On a glass dish, green wax
Amaryllis bulbs are inserted into a piece of oasis
floral foam. In the openings
between the Amaryllis bulbs are
green apples, green cucumber fruits
and glitter pine cones.
Between layers
A considerable number of bamboo sticks are wrapped with rope using a drilling machine and secured at both ends with binding wire. These wrapped sticks create an airy base for this bouquet, consisting of a large and a small base. These are attached one above the other. In between, all the flowers are tied in a sheaf-like manner – the flowers are between the two layers. Flowers used: orange disbudded chrysanthemums, Germini in orange and salmon shades, Avalanche Peach rose, red Helleborus and Hydrangea, Euphorbia 'Autumn Leaves' and Amaryllis 'Maestro'.
Spring longings
The base is a wreath made of wild Clematis vines from the forest. The wreath is placed on a large enamel dish with moss. A number of Oasis spheres are placed on top, covered with gray-white foliage for a wintery atmosphere. The dish is further filled with Amaryllis bulbs, Clematis fluff, leaves of Stachys, Senecio, and Eucalyptus. The emerging green tips of the leftover Narcissus 'Tête-à -tête' bulbs evoke a longing for spring.
Winter happiness
An oval pot is filled with Oasis floral foam. The base of this floral arrangement consists of Amaryllis bulbs in various sizes and branches with larch and pine cones. Various flowers, candlesticks with handmade candles, pine cone varieties, cinnamon sticks, and dried lotus fruits are incorporated in between. Greenery: Helleborus, Nerine 'Sophie', prepared dandelion, burnet (Sanguisorba), Salix catkins, and wild Asparagus.
Winter softness
A soft winter bouquet with a bouquet frame made of a polystyrene sphere that has been cut in half several times, resulting in different sized rings. Metal rings were also used for a playful effect. The rings are covered with all kinds of soft and natural materials in white and beige tones. The flower colors in this bouquet are also light and soft shades: Ornithogalum, Amaryllis, autumn anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’, Nerine, Agapanthus and two types of VIP roses.
