Elegant summers
Matching the transparent, undulating form, fragile lines and delicate white/green materials have been chosen to create a refined balance.
For the base, twelve welding wires (Ø 1.8mm) have been attached and bent in a white wooden plant table. Subsequently, thin pantyhose (20 denier) have been pulled over the wires and secured at the bottom with cold glue. The whole thing has been slightly lightened with white spray paint. Glass tubes and bulb vases have been attached along the edges with Poly Max and then decorated with white flowers and greenery: Nigella damascena ‘Bridal White’ (love-in-
-a-mist), Scabiosa Scoob White, white Ixia and Delphinium, Platycerium bifurcatum (staghorn fern), Aristolochia tendrils and Tillandsia plants
Black and white balance
The large white Delphinium and the calm, fresh colors of Celosia and Ammi form a counterpart to the black decorative shapes. The colors white and black are beautifully balanced. For the base, a polystyrene sheet was first painted with latex and then sprayed black. Two decorative shapes were cut from this and attached to an Oasis cake dummy with wooden skewers. The whole thing is placed on a water dish. The green materials are also inserted into the floral foam and partly attached to the polystyrene with display pins, whereby the decorative round lines are reinforced with lily grass and the white Delphinium 'New Rocket'. In the arrangement you will find Hedera and Bergenia cordifolia leaf, Ammi visnaga, green Celosia argentea var. cristata, Cordyline compacta and Pennisetum 'Black Fox'.
Summer joy
A frame is bound from two rings, rattan pith, and binding wire. The flowers are sheaf-bound ajour through the frame, allowing the elongated flower shapes to be displayed to their full advantage. Green materials used: Eremurus stenophyllus, bright blue Delphinium belladonna, cobalt blue Delphinium ‘Guardian Blue’, Centaurea montana, Anethum graveolens, Umbrella fern, mustard yellow Rosa Spoiler, and Panicum ‘Umbrella’.
