Dancing Queen

The base of this playful and airy bridal bouquet is Oasis Rustic Grapevine Wire: beautiful, sturdy, and natural-looking wire that curls down in a light, flowing manner. Hanging from it are ribbons in various colors and all kinds of trims strung on thin bouillon wires. Peacock feathers and the bold, unconventional flower colors give this bridal bouquet—which seems to “dance” as the bride walks—extra character. Flowers used include: violas, Saxifraga flowers, Muscari, and beaded hyacinth nails. All flowers have been dipped in FloraLife Quick Dip for longer-lasting freshness.

Rhythmic

The base of this piece consists of a semicircular, decorative form made of dry Oasis (sec) with a plywood top. The handle is constructed from multiple wires and wrapped in silver-colored wire.

Torn, handmade paper in deep blue hues is applied layer by layer to the mold using wallpaper paste. This creates a layered surface where texture, color, and movement blend together, enhancing the decorative contours. On top of this base, a hundred blue Muscari flowers are carefully stacked and glued into a rhythmic, circular composition. A few accents of Alocasia leaves add a striking contrast.

Layered composition

The petals of orange lilies are carefully separated and sorted by size and shape. They are then meticulously reassembled into a single harmonious whole. During this process of gluing with cold Oasis glue, a layered composition emerges in which other flower varieties also find their place. Subtle accents of Chasmanthium latifolium ‘Mantis’, Clematis ‘Amazing Kibo’, white Muscari, and Fritillaria weave their way among the lily petals, enhancing the whole into a rich and dynamic floral form.

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'.

Wedding Blue

Blue stands for loyalty and chastity, an appropriate color for a bridal bouquet. A hanging bridal bouquet has been created between two Kalanchoe leaves with garlands of various flowers. The base is Limonium 'Skylight', but Clematis Amazing Sofia plays the leading role. The processed bright blue Muscari and hyacinth nails provide sparkling accents.

Circle of blue grape hyacinths

First, two different sizes of Oasis Biolit Bio dishes are filled with branches, after which the flowers are incorporated. Floral materials used: Narcissus, Clematis, Crocosmia, Sanguisorba and Salix. The edge of the floral foam is finished with Muscari bulbs that are clamped between the floral foam and the edge of the dishes. Butterflies folded from paper provide an extra spring feeling.
