Harbinger of spring
Oasis TerraBrick is used as a base at the bottom of a beautiful earthenware oval pot, in which dried grass (Panicum virgatum) from the winter garden has been inserted and wedged. Withered branches from the garden (Spirea japonica, Solidago, Lunaria annua) have been inserted between the dry grass, creating a beautiful winter silhouette. Spring becomes visible in the subtle shape and color of the dwarf iris bulbs. Seen up close, this delicate soft yellow Iris 'Katharine's Gold' has a beautiful bright yellow with blue markings.
Roots
A dried root system of an old rosemary bush is used upside down as a frame for this natural-looking bouquet in pink, white and green tones. All flowers and grasses have been given their own place and thus come into their own. Materials used: Tulipa, Panicum virgatum fresh and dried, Lunaria annua, Scabiosa BonBon Scoop 'French Vanilla', Alstroemeria florinca 'White Pearls', Ranunculus 'Pon Pon Malva', Ranunculus 'Charm Pink', Agapanthus 'Gletsjer', cherry blossom, Anethum graveolens, Chasmanthium latifolium.
Circles
One hundred Aspidistra leaves are rolled up and pinned together to form a large organic circle. This structure stands independently and is placed in a round water bowl with a texture of many small circles. The flowers are arranged within the Aspidistra circle, placed directly in the water. The varieties used are: Clematis ‘Amazing Miami’, Panicum ‘Heavy Metal’, Eryngium ‘Sirius Questar’, Polianthes ‘Epic Elsa’, Helleborus ‘Bella Belles’, Ranunculus, and Muscari.
Grown together
Salix branches bent into a U-shape are fixed with 1.8mm braided wire. A refined selection of flowers is placed at different heights in this frame and tied in a sheaf: Chaenomeles, Nerine, Gloriosa superba ‘Simba Fifty Shades’, Ranunculus ‘Butterfly’, Scabiosa ‘Bon Bon Scoop French Vanilla’, Talinum ‘Long John’, Tulipa jonquieres, Panicum ‘Heavy Metal’ and Limonium ‘China White’.
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue
This blue bridal bouquet incorporates tradition in a contemporary way. Pieces of dried finger grass, Panicum 'Northwind', are glued onto a bouquet holder. The base materials for the bouquet are Eryngium 'Sirius Questar Green' and 'Supernova', complemented by Eucalyptus 'Baby Blue', Limonium 'Pearl Wings', and Clematis 'Star River'. Delphinium 'Navy Blue' defines the height of the bouquet. Finally, Vanda Ansu n°1 flowers and Delphinium florets are glued onto the bouquet. As a delightful detail, Hypericum 'Coco Gelato' berries are inserted onto the ends of the grasses.
Lush
The eye-catcher of this bouquet is the handle made of dried Panicum grass. Eucalyptus bark is glued onto an Oasis cake form. Large Rosa ‘Pink Floyd’ on a base of stabilized Eucalyptus crowns. Gloriosa ‘Exotic Orange’ is placed on water tubes and decorates the sides of the bouquet. Vanda ‘Natcha Princess Orange’ is glued in a diagonal line on the bark.
Other materials: spray chrysanthemums ‘Ellison Salmon’ and ‘Willem Orange’, Tulipa ‘Columbus’, Vanda ‘Citronella’, Jatropha ‘Firecracker Red’, Craspedia ‘Dubium Orange Fire’, Limonium ‘Yellow Sun Birds’. As a finishing touch, jute cord is draped over the bouquet.
