Golden Keepsake Mold
The unusual cushion shape is constructed from Oasis SEC blocks and spray-painted gold. Crumbs of dried Craspedia are glued to the base and secured with a layer of veneer. This protective layer prevents the surface from transferring color and makes the base resistant to light impacts. As a result, the base can be reused more often. The flowers are glued directly onto the form: various small-flowered chrysanthemums form the compact base, with orchids and Gloriosa serving as accents. This technique results in a sleekly finished funeral arrangement with a distinct surface texture.
Wreath of Infinity
Dried seeds have been glued onto a homemade wreath made of Oasis SEC blocks. This long-lasting base can be prepared in advance and reused. Wet bio-floral foam is placed in a cut-out slot, from which the flowers and other materials draw water. The compact floral wreath consists of various small-flowered chrysanthemums, complemented by orchids and Gloriosa. Vines of Ceropegia woodii break up the closed shape and add depth to the arrangement. Thanks to the combination of wet floral foam and long-lasting chrysanthemums, the funeral arrangement can be delivered several days before the funeral.
With a shine
On warm days, this arrangement offers an alternative to a floral wreath.
The hand-blown vases are filled with Sanguisorba ‘Red Dream’, Talinum ‘Long John’, Craspedia ‘Paintball Pop’, Gloriosa superba ‘Simba Fifty Shades’, Panicum ‘Warrior’, and Chasmanthium latifolium ‘Mantis’. Dark Scabiosa from the Scoop series deepens the color palette. Ball candles in gold bowls and dinner candles in luster candlesticks add a touch of sparkle.
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.
