Collection
This floral still life showcases a vibran t selection of late May blooms - sourced both from the wholesaler and the garden. The arrangement features an eclectic mix of striking forms and unique varieties. A bold base of complementary orange and blue gives the piece visual power and intensity, while softer tones of pink, lilac, apricot, and a hint of red add warmth and harmony. The result is a joyful, energetic composition, brought to life through dramatic lighting and strong contrasts of light and shadow.
The arrangement is constructed using OASIS® Renewal Floral Foam.
Tuned
An antique, hand-painted vase with a floral motif serves as both a vase and a source of inspiration. The flowers were carefully selected to echo the vase's color palette and floral forms, creating a seamless visual harmony between container and composition. Max made his selection from a large collection of flowers with minimal repetition: 'A collection of beauty that we continue to discover'. Inspired by the rich contrasts often seen in classic floral still lifes, he paired purple and blue hues with earthy browns and nude tones to create a striking cool-warm contrast, further enhanced by dramatic photography. The arrangement was composed directly in the vase, without support materials.
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.
