Dry versus live
The special base of this bridal bouquet is made of dried and stabilized materials. Brown bark is glued to a Styrofoam half sphere; a burlap cord acts as a handle. The Oasis ring, glued to the half sphere, is filled with stabilized pale Eucalyptus and dried Lagurus plumes. Next, the living materials are incorporated: spray chrysanthemums 'Ellison Salmon' cover the vacant floral foam. Ranunculus 'Manuela' and spray roses 'Keijsers Coral' and Rosa 'Salty Caramel' provide trendy color. Also incorporated is bleached teasel (Dipsacus) 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 base of this magical bridal bouquet is a half styrofoam sphere plastered with dried lotus leaves. The handle is made of 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. Other materials: Fagus, stabilized beech leaves, Eucalyptus in shades of brown/orange, Chrysanthemum 'Pip Salmon', Ranunculus 'Manuela', Cymbidium 'Going West', spray rose 'Keijsers Coral', Rosa 'Kahala'. For a playful touch, aluminum wire wrapped with bindwire was twisted around the creation.
Copper-colored wreath
For year-end festivities, warm copper colors and natural tones are an ideal color combination. The base of this wreath is an Oasis ring (Ø 42cm). This wreath incorporates various drying materials such as pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana), bleached Ruscus, Grevillia 'Gold' leaf, dried Helichrysum and Pinus pine cones. The bronze-colored Cymbidium provides the icing on the cake.
A touch of blue
Bird seeds were glued onto an Oasis Black Biolit Planting ring. To do this, the wreath was first lined with paper and tape. Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) branches lend the wreath a grand allure. Blueberries are complemented by frosted blue baubles. The wreath is filled with an Oasis Bio Ring into which Cedrus branches are inserted. The copper-colored Cymbidium (in water tubes) match the seeds on the wreath. The unusual orange powdered cedar (Scadoxus) and the Zygopetalum and Dendrobium orchids provide color, but also enhance the exotic aspect of the wreath. A pair of Cedrus pine cones connect the seed wreath to the blackthorn branches.
