Catchy blue
The use of a Kenzan ring is extremely durable. Start with the thinner stems and clamp them, as it were, between the pins. Then work towards increasingly thicker stems. Cut the ends of the stems straight with very sharp (Ikebana) flower shears so that you can get the most force out of the clamping. Materials used: Delphinium and Clematis. Chasmantium latifolium grasses and Sorghum complete the arrangement.
Along the waterfront
Dried sunflower stems are the basis of this beautifully narrow and tall construction. The dried Typha cigars form the height of this summery arrangement. Flowers in blue tones, Centaurea, Delphinium, Scabiosa and Clematis ‘Star River’, together with the fresh green grasses, form an atmospheric 'along the waterfront' scene.
Airy lilac
The base of this refined fan-shaped bridal bouquet is made of rustic wire. This is attached to a curved wire wrapped with copper-colored bullion wire – to obtain a fan shape. To create more airiness, brown fiber rope is attached to the base. Subsequently, the hand-tied bouquet is arranged in this base with Scabiosa, carnation, Clematis, Limonium, Clematis fluff, stripped Asparagus, and jasmine vines in pink, cream, and lilac shades. The stems are finished with a lilac-colored ribbon.
Ringenhart
For this ring cushion, a heart shape has been chosen, very symbolically. First, the basic shape is rounded with gypsophila on a BIO heart from Smithers Oasis. Then, beautiful, soft pink flowers are incorporated in between. Polianthes tuberosa, Scabiosa, and Clematis work together beautifully in this.
Together as one
The base of this organic garland shape is made of crushed wire. It is first made as a long straight shape: a nice smooth transition from very thin to thick to thin is important. Then the 'snake' is bent into the correct shape. Loose gypsophila florets are glued into this shape. This base also dries beautifully – especially after using a lot of glue. As a finishing touch, a number of beautiful white Clematis Amazing Vienna flowers are incorporated.
Challenging purple
Purple is not often the first choice for people ordering a bridal bouquet, but it is very beautiful. This generous bouquet is full of details such as various purple plastic flowers, beads and other items that have been placed on beautiful branches of purple aluminum wire (1 mm). Different types of flowers have been incorporated in a matching color palette: Talinum 'Long John', Clematis, Gloriosa, Phalaenopsis.
