Dried versus living

The special base of this bridal bouquet is made of dried and stabilized materials. Brown bark is glued onto a half styrofoam ball, and a jute cord serves as a handle. The Oasis ring, glued to the half ball, is filled with stabilized pale Eucalyptus and dried Lagurus plumes. Then the living materials are processed: spray chrysanthemums 'Ellison Salmon' cover the exposed floral foam. Ranunculus 'Manuela' and the spray rose 'Keijsers Coral' and Rosa 'Salty Caramel' provide trendy color. Furthermore, bleached teasel (Dipsacus) is processed as well as dried Papaver, Cymbidium 'Balou' and Dianthus 'Caramello'. Chrysanthemum 'Kalimba Salmon' is placed along one side and provides.

Winter festoon

A festoon is spiraled in a roof tile pattern on an old piece of thick rope with, among other things, holm oak (Quercus ilex), pistachio green (Pistacia vera), Eucalyptus gunnii, Callicarpa bodinieri, Symphoricarpos ‘White Hedge’, Eryngium ‘Silverstone’, oregano, silver bush (Leucophyta brownii) and Hydrangea.

Spring longings

The base is a wreath made of wild Clematis vines from the forest. The wreath is placed on a large enamel dish with moss. A number of Oasis spheres are placed on top, covered with gray-white foliage for a wintery atmosphere. The dish is further filled with Amaryllis bulbs, Clematis fluff, leaves of Stachys, Senecio, and Eucalyptus. The emerging green tips of the leftover Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête' bulbs evoke a longing for spring.

Winter Queen

A short search at a garden sculpture dealer immediately yielded the right Winter Queen. The beautiful bronze head was adorned with lush flowers and winter branches. A base made of Oasis floral foam, filled with tendrils of Hedera and hop, was created on the back of the head. The flowers, branches and other winter materials are inserted in between. Materials: Nerine ‘Sophie’, holly (Ilex verticillata), roses, Gloriosa, tiger lily, Clematis fluff, cotton branches, prepared dandelion, Eucalyptus berry and beans.

Winter wonderland

This winter wonderland wreath, because only sober natural materials have been used for this arrangement, reflects a real winter atmosphere. To make a big impact, an XXL size has been chosen: the wreath has a diameter of 1.40 meters.

The wreath is bound on a metal ring with various green materials incorporated. These include beautiful coarse Pinus strobus branches, silver fir, Eucalyptus with and without berries, Taxus, thyme, and larch cone branches.

Playful

In a beautifully mossy piece of cork, holes have been drilled in which Craspedia has been inserted, increasing in length. Various materials that dry nicely have been glued onto the cork: seed pods of Eucalyptus ‘Bellgum’, rose hips, and prepared oak leaves. To give the whole of this longer-lasting arrangement on cork a playful character, grasses have been clamped between the glued materials.
