Ornament
The decorative element inside this bouquet was created entirely using a 3D printer and consists of branches adorned with 3D-printed pearls. All the fresh flowers were secured using Smithers Oasis cold glue. The bouquet features Fritillaria, Gloriosa, ranunculus, Hypericum, Tillandsia ‘Xerographica’, and Talinum ‘Long John’.
Pouch
This little bag features a 3D-printed base decorated with white grape hyacinths. The first few white grape hyacinths were secured with a piece of string. Then everything was woven together and clamped in place. Finally, two Gloriosa flowers were attached to add a touch of contrast. This bouquet is fairly quick to make. It is also very lightweight.
Flower boa
For a bride who wants to make a statement and has a bit of daring, you could suggest creating a stunning boa. This way, she’ll also have her hands free throughout the day. This boa has a very special base: it incorporates two hundred 3D-printed blossoms. The arrangement is a combination of flowers and plants. Among others, orchids, succulents, Tillandsias, Cryptanthus on wire, Kalanchoe leaves, and parts of Guzmania plants have been used. Cut flowers have also been incorporated, such as Lisianthus, Cymbidium, and Gloriosa.
Lady-Round
This mysteriously colored bridal bouquet is arranged on a Smithers Oasis lady-round. The advantage of this is that the flowers don’t dry out. A spiderweb has been created from salmon-colored aluminum wire extending from the lady-round. The flowers can be secured to this frame. Personally, I find this color combination very beautiful: all those burgundy tones with brown and salmon. The arrangement includes Gloriosa, Cymbidium, carnivorous plants, ranunculus, Talinum ‘Long John’, various orchids, chrysanthemums, jasmine vines, and dried Chasmanthium grasses.
Craspedia heart
A Smithers Oasis bio-foam base was used for this ring pillow. The outer edge is finished with dried Craspedia flowers from Marginpar, strung on wire. These have a long shelf life because they are dried before being arranged. The interior is made with fresh flowers: Limonium cut into short pieces as a base, with ranunculus, Gloriosa, Clematis ‘Kibo’ (feathers), and mini Cymbidium arranged among them. The rings are secured in the center with two pieces of aluminum wire.
Elegant wrist bouquet
One of my favorite styles is a wrist bouquet, also known as a cuff bouquet. The cuff and the ginkgo leaves were created using a 3D printer. The bridal bouquet contains leaves of various sizes. Each leaf was individually wired, and these wires were fashioned into branches. These branches were wrapped around the tube and joined together. There are also branches made with wired and dried Craspedia balls. Fresh flowers used in the arrangement include chrysanthemums, Phalaenopsis, yellow Limonium, and Gloriosa.
