Between layers
A considerable number of bamboo sticks are wrapped with rope using a drilling machine and secured at both ends with binding wire. These wrapped sticks create an airy base for this bouquet, consisting of a large and a small base. These are attached one above the other. In between, all the flowers are tied in a sheaf-like manner – the flowers are between the two layers. Flowers used: orange disbudded chrysanthemums, Germini in orange and salmon shades, Avalanche Peach rose, red Helleborus and Hydrangea, Euphorbia 'Autumn Leaves' and Amaryllis 'Maestro'.
Spring embrace
The spring bloomer Forsythia gives this bouquet the wow factor. The Forsythia branches are attached to a gold-colored metal circle in a sheaf-of-wheat manner using binding wire. Gold-colored tendrils made of pokes (with the drilling machine) wrapped with gold wire are attached all around, with leaf shapes of aluminum wire wrapped with gold wire on them. In the bouquet, Craspedia and Helleborus (in glass tubes) are incorporated with the stems on the inside – only Forsythia branches are visible on the outside: the embrace of winter by spring. The bouquet is placed on an iron stand in a glass water bowl with gold-colored pebbles.
A touch of sun
The mix of light-colored grasses and flowers in all shades of yellow, together with a soft and airy structure, ensures that this bouquet radiates energy and optimism. The base is a metal wreath on which fine grasses such as Stipa pennata and yellow hare tails (Lagurus) are bound. In the heart, a sheaf-bound bouquet with soft yellow Ranunculus, warm yellow spray roses, cream-green Helleborus, green-yellow Fritillaria, and sturdy yellow Craspedia.
Pirouette
For the base of this elegant spring arrangement, a floral foam vase is covered with cork, filled with floral foam, and provided with a base. In circularly arranged layers, from top to bottom, dried grasses, Amaranthus 'Yearming Desert', white feathers, Helleborus 'Mammoth Red', French tulip 'Parrot White', Viburnum 'Roseum', and reed plumes are incorporated.
Spring statement
On a robust, self-made base of sawn and burnt wooden planks, large, rubber-wrapped injection tubes are placed for the water supply of the flowers. These contain pink Tulipa ‘Royal Ten’, snowball (Viburnum ‘Roseum’), Salix ‘Snowflake’, Amaranthus ‘Yearming Desert’, Helleborus ‘Mammoth Red’, Vriesea, Pieris japonica and Magnolia.
Harmony
Red Cornus is woven and knotted in an open structure woven from 1.8mm wire in the shape of a round open sphere. Various glass test tubes are also woven between the Cornus branches. The most beautiful flowers from the Marginpar collection, supplemented with some spring flowers, are placed in the glass tubes. The flower stems are left as long as possible so that the flowers have a nice movement and form a unity with the frame. Gloriosa superba 'Simba Fifty Shades', Clematis 'Amazing Miami', Talinum 'Long John', Helleborus 'Mammoth Red', Tulipa 'Avignon', Nerine 'Elegance Amor' and Ranunculus.
