Emotion as a starting point
For Magdalena Kahlina, a bouquet is not just a form, but a way to convey emotion through flowers. "I created these bouquets with feeling as my starting point. Emotion is subtle and understated, but present in every detail. Flowers are not treated as decoration, but as expressive elements, each contributing through rhythm, line, texture, and space." The bouquet included tulips 'Double Price', Muscari, and lisianthus 'Botanic Blue'.
Classic spring
Helen Jamieson presents a classic British spring bouquet that she also sells in her shop. By working with two main colors and a combination of Hyacinthus, Syringa, Bouvardia, and Lisianthus, she creates a familiar, commercial, and recognizable image.
Soft collar
Franka Roenhorst worked with a collar of soft pink Lagurus ovatus (rabbit tail grass) as the supporting base. Amaryllis, lisianthus, and Vanda were placed in it, supplemented with a few garden branches. Although the design differs from other Dutch work in this series, the materials used and the approach make it recognizable as typically Dutch.
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.
Layered contrast
For this arrangement, Krisztian Köver chose a striking mustard-colored ceramic bowl. The inside is lined on both sides with a woolen scarf, while the flowers are placed in floral foam in the center. Lisianthus, Phalaenopsis, Cambria, and Kalanchoe form the core of the design, complemented by subtle details. The interplay of ceramics, textiles, and floral material gives the work a tactile and layered appearance.
Spring frame
This large bouquet is held by Krisztians daughter Hanna and is technically constructed on a base of wires and sticks. The outer line is finished with painted feathers, which give the arrangement a distinctive frame. Cymbidium, lisianthus, lily, Viburnum, and additional materials have been incorporated into this construction. The bouquet is bound using the spiral technique and combines a strong structural base with a soft, expressive finish.
