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.

Tropical contrast

An arrangement as a decorative ornament with some clear showpiece shapes such as Gloriosa and Epidendrum orchid, processed solitarily. The tropical materials ‘grow’ around a frame of bundled birch branches, forming a beautiful contrast. These birch bundles can be reused, and banana flower (Musa), kumquat fruits (Citrus japonica), Hedera and umbrella plant (Cyperus) also have a nice long vase life.

Summer flash

With an explosion of color, this arrangement depicts the vibrancy of summer. Orange and lilac flowers dance on a striking green, handmade wooden frame. With a mix of Kniphofia, Digitalis, elegant long Gloriosa, Lathyrus and other flowers, it is an ode to the warm season.

The frame is cleverly designed for double-sided and multiple use, making it both practical and sustainable. Whether you use it in its original state or turn it around for a fresh new look, the arrangement showcases as a striking piece of art for virtually any space.

Sea Lavender

Working with steel grass is labor-intensive, but the result is always truly special, and it dries very nicely – so after the wedding, the dried object can be preserved for a long time. The steel grass is processed using a braiding and weaving technique around a wire base. A beautiful winding is made at the ends with copper-colored bullion wire. Two beautiful Gloriosa flowers make
‘t complete.

Bowl Bouquet

An impressive autumn bouquet with a brown frame, handmade vase, and flowers in mostly orange hues. The base is made using the chicken wire technique with 1.6mm florist wire. Young shoots of fruit trees, pruning waste from the garden and therefore free, are woven through this. Together with the wire, these form a kind of basket. Woody mossy branches that blew out of the trees in the garden after a heavy storm are also incorporated into the basket. This old dead wood is not only decorative but also technical: they lend themselves well to incorporating the Physalis seed pods between them. The seed pods are individually wired and joined together to form branches. Beautiful striking flowers are placed between all the branches: Celosia, Gloriosa, Zantedeschia, Guzmania, germinis, chrysanthemums, and beautiful accompanying materials such as Talinum, Hypericum, and Sanguisorba.

Better together

A wonderful set of beautiful objects of which the base can easily be reused. The base is self-made from two decorative garden stakes in flower form – they were flat when purchased. The two stakes are drilled into the wooden blocks and unfolded to make them spatial. To create even more possibilities, thick aluminum wire is incorporated through and around it – so that tubes can easily be attached to it and flowers woven through it. Zantedeschia is perfect for weaving through the frame, with the stems also participating beautifully. Talinum ‘Long John’ is processed dry here – it always dries beautifully. Furthermore, Gloriosa, some orchids, and Scabiosa are beautifully in place in these autumn objects.
