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.
Circle of strength
A circle radiates strength, is protective but also represents perfection, infinity and friendship: character traits that can symbolize the deceased. The background is a cardboard cat basket. The harmonica of cardboard forms a beautiful natural background that can be unfolded into different round shapes. The shape is placed on a glass bowl, then glass stitching tubes are placed in the openings of the harmonica. With loose (dried) flowers without glass, it is a nice alternative for a natural cemetery - then it can blend in completely with nature. Here the glass tubes feature Abelia, Astrantia, Clematis, Crocosmia, Dahlia, Gomphrena, Houttuynia, Rubus, Scabiosa, Sempervivum and Viburnum.
Floating heart
A floating arrangement is very suitable for an ash scattering on the water, as well as for a waterfront memorial ceremony. To make the arrangement "float," Oasis Sec blocks were secured under the wood disc. Holes were then drilled into the wood disc in the shape of a heart. A warm color palette of botanical materials was placed in the holes. The materials "float" above the wood disc and drink their moisture directly from the surface water. Botanical materials: Astrantia, Chrysanthemum, Crocosmia, Dahlia, Heliopsis, lisianthus, Scabiosa and Zinnia.
