Movement
Hellebore, lisianthus, Eryngium, and Viburnum are incorporated into this bouquet on a spring wood frame. The construction gives the arrangement clear movement and direction. The number of stems used and the loose structure make this work a contemporary interpretation of the Dutch hand-tied bouquet.
Purely balanced
Simplicity is central to this composition. A low bowl with soft, rounded inner shapes forms the basis for a sustainable flower arrangement. Several round kenzans lie in the bowl, subtly hidden beneath the surface of the water. They hold each stem separately, allowing the flowers to retain their natural growth direction.
Delicate, whimsical lines of Hamamelis and Cornus define the silhouette and add height and airiness. Clematis 'Kansas' stems move between them. The round flower shapes of French tulips, ranunculus, daffodils, and Helleborus provide rhythm and repetition.
The kenzan technique eliminates the need for floral foam and supports a sustainable approach: less material, more attention to nature, and longer-lasting flowers.
Winter Flower
Who doesn't love Helleborus? They are beautiful and this variety, called "Winterbells," is perfect for a hand-tied bouquet during the upcoming winter months.
Subdued
A square sheet of styropor is pasted on the sides and top with prepared Cobra Leaves. The underside is finished with felt. An Oasis Bio Solo Ring is attached in the center of the plate with Nobilis sprigs inserted into it. Inserted between these are a selection of fresh flowers such as Hypericum, Clematis Amazing Kibo, Talinum 'Long John', Helleborus 'Mammoth Red', Astrantia 'Star of Desire', lisianthus and Cymbidium. Also incorporated is a string of LED lights, as well as small Christmas balls and pine cones. For a little more elan, needles were rustled from the Nobilis branches and sprinkled over the Cobra Leaves.
Christmas Moonlight
The base of the Christmas Moonlight is formed by a larger and a smaller frame that
fit together. First, the large frame was filled with LED lights, then the frames were wrapped with double-sided tape on which stars and rectangles of "sola wood" were stuck. Both shapes were firmly attached to each other. The small frame is finished
with white felt. Starlets made of birch bark, glass baubles and glass tubes with white Vanda and green Helleborus hang from a curly metal wire wrapped with string. The transparent dandelion fluff balls add a mysterious effect.
Radiant star
A star shape of Oasis floral foam was lined with bands made of braided reeds. The dry floral foam was coated with snow and filled with fine dried sprigs with gold-colored dried fruit in between for a festive effect. A half Styrofoam sphere lined with mulberry fiber and filled with Oasis floral foam was placed centrally on the star. Inside the sphere is a floral feast of roses, carnations, Chamelaucium and thistles. Curled metal wire wrapped with white mulberry fiber, and Helleborus and Phalaenopsis in water tubes provide playful accents.
