Contrasting
Blooming grasses from the garden were tied into small bundles with fine bouillon wire - for this arrangement, some 350 bundles were tucked onto a base of Oasis Sec floral foam. At the center of this grass object, or table piece for Easter, glass tubes were inserted into the floral foam and filled with spring flowers: Craspedia, French tulips, mimosa 'Mirandol', small-flowered daffodils and Ranunculus 'Butterfly'.
A touch of sunshine
The mix of light-colored grasses and flowers in a variety of shades of yellow, together with a soft and airy structure, make this bouquet radiate energy and optimism. The base is a metallic wreath on which fine grasses such as Stipa pennata and yellow hare's tail (Lagurus) are bound. At the heart is a sheaf of coral bound bouquet with soft yellow Ranunculus, warm yellow spray roses, creamy green Helleborus, greenish yellow Fritillaria and tough yellow Craspedia.
Spring reception
The sturdy base is made of a wooden column of scaffolding wood on which birch logs are attached. The two large water pipes are each attached to wooden panels with a structure of tile glue sprayed in gold color. The whole is interconnected by a branch construction made of wild honeysuckle tendrils. The following materials are incorporated into the water pipes: French tulip, Crassula 'Paintball Pop', Sandersonia, Viburnum 'Roseum', Chaenomeles and pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana).
Powerful
A super flower to work with is the Craspedia, they also dry beautifully. However, it is important for the end result to find balls of the same size. They are each attached to a 1.6 mm wire and run nicely from thin to thick towards the Craspedia bulb. The stems are each secured to a wire-wrapped gold ring - each with the same distance between the wires. Not many additional flowers and materials were added to this powerful form: one beautiful Ceropegia sandersonii vine, Tillandsia dyeriana flowers, Gloriosa and several orchids.
Zwierig
This movable bouquet, worn across the wrist, was made from a base of Craspedia 'Paintball Pop' and Limonium 'Max Diamond'. It was then decorated with Astrantia 'Roma', Scabiosa Bon Bon Scoop 'French Vanilla', Clematis Amazing Havanna, Helleborus 'Anna's Red', lisianthus 'Botanic Pink', Peperomia carperata, Narcissus and Nerine.
Summer outdoor living
For a country-style garden party, tough and rugged was combined with sophistication, soft colors and lovely materials. For the table decoration, four aluminum wires were wrapped with straw and winding wire and attached to a glass vase with waterproof tape. Straw was wrapped around the vase with wrapping wire. Inside the vase is a smaller vase; it can be easily removed to change the flower arrangements. A half block of Oasis Bio floral foam is placed in the small, inner vase. Into this are inserted the flowers and grasses: golden yellow Rosa 'Golden Lady,' Craspedia globosa, motherwort (Tanacetum parthenium), Panicum 'Umbrella,' Panicum 'Heavy Metal,' and blue damselfly-in-green.
