Theatrical
A flower arrangement bursting with vibrant energy and bold contrasts. OASIS® Renewal Floral Foam set in a Delftware-style vase, the arrange
ment features a striking mix of strong colors - vivid reds, oranges, deep purples, and rich blues - creating a lively, almost theatrical effect. Hanneke stepped outside her usual pastel palette for this piece, embracing hues she often avoids. 'I normally steer clear of red, white and blue,' she admits, 'but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It was time to show something different.' The result is a colorful, confident design full of character and movement.
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.
Sunny summer
Approximately fifteen leaves have been shaped from poke. These are then wrapped with Oasis paper wire. A frame is formed from the loose leaves by attaching them to each other with tonkin sticks. This provides 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 enhances the overall color scheme. Together, they create a cheerful and lively arrangement that perfectly complements the light, sunny summer days.
Waterfall
A base of floral foam in a convex disc shape is filled with Gypsophila Xlence with Astrantia ‘Billion Star’ in between. Delphinium ‘Guardian Lavender is both inserted and knotted into long garlands, creating an elegant cascading waterfall effect.
Wonder
It is fascinating how an egg breaks open and new life emerges from it. This creation symbolizes that wonder. The base is a polystyrene hemisphere on which a (duck) egg is first placed centrally. Quail eggs are then glued around this egg. The polystyrene serves as a mold and is removed after gluing. A piece of Oasis Bio floral foam is placed on a dish – the hemisphere with quail eggs is placed on top of this. A variety of spring flowers are then inserted into the floral foam. Flowers used: Clematis, Muscari, Scabiosa, Delphinium, Achillea and Limonium.
