Dried versus living
The special base of this bridal bouquet is made of dried and stabilized materials. Brown bark is glued onto a half styrofoam ball, and a jute cord serves as a handle. The Oasis ring, glued to the half ball, is filled with stabilized pale Eucalyptus and dried Lagurus plumes. Then the living materials are processed: spray chrysanthemums 'Ellison Salmon' cover the exposed floral foam. Ranunculus 'Manuela' and the spray rose 'Keijsers Coral' and Rosa 'Salty Caramel' provide trendy color. Furthermore, bleached teasel (Dipsacus) is processed as well as dried Papaver, Cymbidium 'Balou' and Dianthus 'Caramello'. Chrysanthemum 'Kalimba Salmon' is placed along one side and provides.
A touch of magic
The foundation of this magical bridal bouquet is a halved polystyrene sphere covered with dried lotus leaves. The handle is crafted from bamboo sticks inserted into the sphere. An Oasis Bio ring is glued into the sphere and filled with spray chrysanthemums 'Ellison Salmon'. Protea 'Grandicolor' provides height to the bouquet. Additional materials include Fagus, stabilized beech leaves, Eucalyptus in brown/orange hues, Chrysanthemum 'Pip Salmon', Ranunculus 'Manuela', Cymbidium 'Going West', spray rose 'Keijsers Coral', and Rosa 'Kahala'. For a playful touch, wire-wrapped aluminum wire is coiled around the creation.
Macramé
When you think of a bohemian wedding, you immediately envision a macramé backdrop, a dress with macramé elements, and macramé decorations. This bridal bouquet was created in a macramé 'handbag' made on a wooden circle with a 30cm diameter. Typical for this style is the addition of foliage such as Tillandsia and a spotted Begonia leaf. Flowers used: Rosa 'Living Coral', spray rose Azore, Eustoma 'Sabrina Orange', Jasminum, Gloriosa 'Exotic Orange', Phalaenopsis, and Chrysanthemum Santini Doria Cherry.
Japanese fan bouquet
The structure of this bridal bouquet is realized with the wooden slats of a Japanese fan. A round bouquet in trendy peach colors is attached to the structure. The bouquet incorporates Chrysanthemum Santini Doria Cherry, spray rose 'Azore', Eustoma 'Sabrina Orange', Phalaenopsis, Sempervivum, and Hypericum. Jasmine vines and Gloriosa 'Exotic Orange' flowers provide a playful accent.
Wire netting
Wherever you are, always keep your eyes open for interesting surfaces of objects that you can use in a different way. In this wire basket, a complete Tillandsia 'Hermosa' is glued together with pieces of Talinum 'Long John'. It immediately forms a good base to start with. All other flowers are glued in between and onto this: ranunculus, Scabiosa, Madiba chrysanthemums, Tillandsia dyeriana and Cambria orchids. A charming bridal bouquet that can be made very quickly.
Bowl Bouquet
An impressive autumn bouquet with a brown frame, handmade vase, and flowers in mostly orange hues. The base is made using the chicken wire technique with 1.6mm florist wire. Young shoots of fruit trees, pruning waste from the garden and therefore free, are woven through this. Together with the wire, these form a kind of basket. Woody mossy branches that blew out of the trees in the garden after a heavy storm are also incorporated into the basket. This old dead wood is not only decorative but also technical: they lend themselves well to incorporating the Physalis seed pods between them. The seed pods are individually wired and joined together to form branches. Beautiful striking flowers are placed between all the branches: Celosia, Gloriosa, Zantedeschia, Guzmania, germinis, chrysanthemums, and beautiful accompanying materials such as Talinum, Hypericum, and Sanguisorba.
