Pronounced
This bouquet takes its inspiration from a single striking Heliconia, held in place by an XL ring wrapped in wool. From this central element unfolds a selection of flowers, chosen for their distinctive shape, character, and texture. The emphasis is on individuality and expression: each flower is given the space to shine within the hanging arrangement. This creates a powerful, characterful interplay of lines where tension and balance meet.
The materials used include Gloriosa superba ‘Simba Fifty Shades’, Rosa ‘Princess Hitomi’, Clematis ‘Amazing Kansas’, Cymbidium, Hypericum, and lisianthus.
Subtle
These necklaces are exquisitely crafted from Hypericum ‘Sisu Charm’, white cluster carnations, and hyacinth nails. They display a subtle interplay of form, rhythm, and proportion. In their individual variations—sometimes slender and understated, at other times slightly fuller and more layered—each possesses its own quiet beauty. It is precisely in their interplay that their power unfolds: together they form an elegant, almost sculptural necklace, in which softness and structure balance each other.
Pastel shades, spring green, and feather detail
Karmen Kovac "This Biedermeier bouquet has a spring-like feel. I played with pastel shades and a vibrant spring green color. Because spring is the time of year when nature awakens, birds return from tropical areas, and they have their Gregorian calendar, I added a feather detail." The flowers used in the bouquet are: ranunculus, hyacinth, clematis, and hypericum.
The power of simplicity
This design uses only a few materials, yet its simplicity creates a powerful image. The golden vase is filled with a single salmon-colored poppy, with a Hypericum form glued in place to connect the flower to the vase. The berries are attached using Smithers Oasis cold glue.
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.
Berry heart in simplicity
A small simple heart with a skin of tightly pinned Hypericum berries on a red heart-shaped Styrofoam base. The drying value causes the berries to darken, shrinking slightly, allowing the subtle red of the base to shine through later. A single Gloriosa sets a graceful line - the art of omission applies here.
