Illusion
This asymmetrical design uses a simple wire structure, combined with a variation on the so-called spiderweb technique and executed with stripped conifer branches. This technique is incorporated into the first four arrangements and creates the illusion that the bouquets stand completely on their own. In reality, they are supported by subtle “legs” of the structure, which are virtually invisible due to their reflection in the water. For this design, Mike used, among other plants, Helleborus, Scabiosa, and Gloriosa from Marginpar.
A vibrant play of colors
An Oasis BioLine BioWave in a basket forms the basis of this colorful floral arrangement. The flowers have been deliberately mixed, creating a composition where color, flower shape, and texture alternate. Lilium ‘Apricot Fudge’ adds a warm apricot hue; Achillea ‘Neonglow Ember New Red’ adds a contrasting red. The pale pink Paeonia ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ and the more vividly colored Paeonia ‘Karl Rosenfield’ provide volume. Helleborus ‘Classic Grace’ introduces a calmer rhythm among the flowers. The dark foliage of Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’ adds depth, while Gleichenia polypodioides, or coral fern, connects the various flower shapes with its delicate branches.
Rhythm from the Sea and the Garden
Two Oasis BioLine BioWave bases are joined together to form a single funeral arrangement. Scallop shells and dried coral add rhythm to the composition. At the base, Pascal combines the blossoms of Cotinus “Royal Purple” with the delicate foliage of Ruscus. Shortly cut buds of Lilium ‘Apricot Fudge’ provide accents among the greenery, while Helleborus ‘Classic Grace’ rises up from the arrangement. The airy flowers of Sanguisorba ‘Red Dream’ and small pieces of Asparagus setaceus soften the transition between the floral arrangement and the casket.
Crocheted lace
The base of this bouquet is a small bag made of crocheted lace, which has been stiffened with starch. An iron handle—wrapped in white cotton using macramé—is attached to the bag. The flowers are arranged in small tubes of water inside the bag, which is further filled with white cotton. Materials used include green Viburnum opulus flowers, Rhipsalis tendrils, Hypericum berries strung on silver wire, Scabiosa ‘Bon Bon Scoop French Vanilla’ and Jasminum in shades ranging from white-pink to burgundy, Helleborus ‘Classic One’, and Scabiosa ‘Dark Cherry’. A Caladium leaf gives the bouquet a unique signature.
Subtle interplay
A delicate structure, crafted entirely by hand, makes this bridal bouquet unique. The base is woven with very fine, dried Hillflowers Burgundy, whose burgundy hue adds depth to the overall design. The woven pattern has a slightly curved shape, giving the bouquet a soft and harmonious appearance. The structure is then filled with a refined floral composition of Clematis ‘Amazing Kiev’, small buds of Chrysanthemum ‘Santini Doria Pink’, and delicate, bell-shaped flowers of Helleborus ‘Bella Belles’.
Timelessly charming
This round bridal bouquet combines timeless charm with elegant contrasts. The Helleborus ‘Classic One’, in a very dark burgundy shade, is accentuated by the delicate contrast with the David Austin rose ‘Keira’. The arrangement also features Chrysanthemum ‘Santini Doria Pink’ and Dianthus ‘Ledge Pink’, which add refinement and floral harmony. Delicate grasses of Sanguisorba ‘Red Dream’ have also been subtly incorporated into the composition. All the flowers are brought together in a structured arrangement, finished with tricolor foliage. This foliage envelops and supports the bouquet, thereby enhancing its classic, compact, and distinctly romantic appearance.
