More with less
Inspiration for this bouquet is the theme of sustainability - how to create a lot of effect with few flowers. The base is a structure of fine branches: Salix and Chaenomeles japonica. Vertical branches are attached to two circles of fine Salix branches each time. When the branches are firmly together and structure remains stable, the fine flowers can be added: Craspedia, Gloriosa, French tulips, Sandersonia and leaves of Begonia maculata leaves. Then the whole is placed in a flat gold-colored bowl with water.
Flower spiral
The base is a cat's nest on a metal base. For this nest structure formed from Salix branches, all the branches were tied piece by piece on the base and then clamped together. The nest structure is multi-use - a spiral of soft flowers was chosen to perfectly match the soft catkins.
A mix of flowers is tucked onto an Oasis garland: salmon-colored cluster ¬roses, Rosa 'Bombastic', soft pink Hydrangea and Eustoma 'Wed Pink', fuchsia-colored Clematis 'Amazing Kyiv' boost the color scheme. A few more leaves of Begonia maculata were staked as an accent.
Macramé
When you think of a bohemian wedding, you immediately envision a macramé backdrop, a dress with macramé elements and macramé decoration. This bridal bouquet was realized in a macramé "hand bag" made on a wooden circle 30cm in diameter. Also typical of this style is the addition of foliage materials such as Tillandsia and a spotted Begonia leaf. Processed flowers: Rosa 'Living Coral', spray rose Azore, Eustoma 'Sabrina Orange', Jasminum, Gloriosa 'Exotic Orange', Phalaenopsis and Chrysanthemum Santini Doria Cherry.
Peony Splendor
The background is covered with a trendy metallic denim. This combined with a wrap of white canes make the base of this summer arrangement in which the peony 'Coral Sunset' is in the spotlight. Tendrils of jasmine and Ceropegia are incorporated through the stick wrapping. Other summer flowers used: Clematis Amazing Vienna and lily of the valley. The pale green Begonia foliage brings tranquility to the arrangement.
Indian summer
Glued around an Oasis wreath are dried sunflower stems of various lengths. These stems are a harbinger of autumn. The whole is topped with orange candle wax. Several flowers were inserted into the floral foam wreath, including Dianthus 'Green Trick,' nutans (Leucospermum cordifolium), Dahlia, Freesia, Tillandsia, Heliopsis, Stipa grasses, Crocosmia and Begonia leaf. Glass stitch tubes were placed in some sunflower stems, in which flowers were also placed. The Indian summer coloring emphasizes the fall season.
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.
