Catchy blue
Using a Kenzan ring is extremely durable. Start with the thinner stems and clamp them between the pins, so to speak. Then work up to thicker stems each time. Cut the ends of the stems straight off with very sharp (Ikebana) flower scissors to 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 base of this beautifully narrow and tall construction. Dried Typha cigars form the height of this summer arrangement. Flowers in shades of blue, Centaurea, Delphinium, Scabiosa and Clematis 'Star River' along with the fresh green grasses form an attractive 'along the waterfront' scene.
Sunny summer
About fifteen leaves were formed from pokes. These were then wrapped with Oasis paper wire. From the loose leaves, a frame was formed by attaching them together with tonkin canes. This creates a playful, yet sturdy base for the bouquet. The flowers exude summer. The delicate, blue-purple hues of the Delphinium combine beautifully with the yellow spherical Craspedia flowers. The bright green snowball lifts the whole in color beautifully. Together they create a cheerful and vibrant display that is perfect for the bright, sunny days of summer.
Waterfall
A base of floral foam in a convex disc shape is poked with Gypsophila Xlence with Astrantia 'Billion Star' in between. Delphinium 'Guardian Lavender is both poked and tied in long garlands giving an elegant hanging waterfall effect.
Marvel
It is fascinating how an egg breaks open and new life emerges from it. This creation symbolizes that wonder. The base is a half sphere of styrofoam on which first a central (duck) egg is placed. Quail eggs are then glued around this egg. The styrofoam serves as a mold and is removed after gluing. On a tray, a piece of Oasis Bio floral foam is placed - on it comes the half sphere with quail eggs. A variety of spring flowers is then inserted into the floral foam. Flowers used: Clematis, Muscari, Scabiosa, Delphinium, Achillea and Limonium.
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue
This blue bridal bouquet incorporates a tradition in a trendy way. Pieces of dried finger grass, Panicum 'Northwind,' are glued to a bouquet holder. Starting materials for the bouquet are Eryngium 'Sirius Questar Green' and 'Supernova' complemented by Eucalyptus 'Baby Blue,' Limonium 'Pearl Wings' and Clematis 'Star River.' Delphinium 'Navy Blue' defines the height of the bouquet. Finally, flowers of Vanda Ansu n°1 and flower heads of Delphinium are stuck on the bouquet. As a nice detail, Hypericum 'Coco Gelato' berries are stuck on the ends of the grasses.
