Tenderness with spunk
On a beautiful soft pink vase is an Oasis sphere. For stability, a tonkin stick was inserted into the sphere to the bottom of the water-filled vase. Around the top edge of the vase, a border of grasses was attached with double-sided Oasis tape that was then finished with ribbon in a matching shade. In the Oasis sphere, sagebrush (Polygonatum), Paeonia 'Claire de Lune' and yellow dill (Anethum graveolens) were then inserted in different heights. Nostalgic-looking dandelions and dandelion seed bulbs add that extra bit of spice and tenderness to the soft color palette.
Green as grass
Lovely and oh so summery: various corn sheaf tied summer bouquets. Starting with the fresh grasses, each with summer flowers twisted at the same height. Finally, a border of grass is tied around it. In this way fresh summer bouquets are created, an atmospheric decoration of a summer garden dinner. Materials used: Panicum, dill (Anethum graveolens), sunflower, aquilegia and various native plants from the garden or roadside.
Roots
A dried root system of an old rosemary bush was used upside down as a frame for this natural-looking bouquet in shades of pink, white and green. All the flowers and grasses have been given their own place and thus stand out beautifully. Materials used: Tulipa, Panicum virgatum fresh and dried, Lunaria annua, Scabiosa BonBon Scoop 'French Vanilla', Alstroemeria florinca 'White Pearls', Ranunculus 'Pon Pon Malva', Ranunculus 'Charm Pink', Agapanthus 'Glacier', cherry blossom, Anethum graveolens, Chasmanthium latifolium.
Summer Joy
A frame is tied from two rings, pit reed and bindwire. Through the frame, the flowers are bound corn sheaf ajour to show off the elongated flower shapes. Green materials used: Eremurus stenophyllus, bright blue Delphinium belladonna, cobalt blue Delphinium 'Guardian Blue', Centaurea montana, Anethum graveolens, Umbrella fern, mustard yellow Rosa Spoiler and Panicum 'Umbrella'.
