Playfully warm
A hand-tied bridal bouquet with a frame of bindwire and striking Guzmania flowers whose stems are wrapped with natural-colored bindwire and gold wrapping wire. Added to this are Phalaenopsis, Poppy, Scabiosa, roses and Bromelia. The whole has a striking warm color scheme of rose red, apricot and ochre, and is wrapped with jasmine, making it playful.
Pronounced elegant
This hand-tied bridal bouquet features distinct flower shapes. The bouquet is worn on the arm for an elegant and natural look. Materials used: Poppy, Sandersonia, Gloriosa, Lathyrus, Scabiosa and (of course!) Stephanotis; bridal flower tendrils.
Freestanding
The structure of Cornus branches appears as if floating and very light. To achieve this effect, black pokes (1.8 mm) were drilled into a weathered block of wood, and the Cornus branches were impaled on the pokes. The whole is given strength by connecting each Cornus stem in at least three places with bindwire and pierced with pieces of black pokes. The flowers, Papaver, Clematis Amazing Kansas, Tulipa, Ranunculus, are placed only at the top to show off the structure and make the whole look elegant.
Spring Explosion
In a glass bowl filled with clay, pieces of bamboo stem varying in height were inserted - these, to prevent splintering, were cut into pieces with a band saw. The bamboo serves as a water carrier but also as a support to hold the flowers in place. A wide variety of spring flowers were incorporated: Gloriosa, Papaver, Anemone, Ranunculus, Polianthes tuberosa, Sanguisorba, Talinum 'Long John' and Chasmanthium latifolium.
Christmas cones
On a Styrofoam base wrapped with cork strips, flexible
willow branches attached in an arch shape. On some of the arches, yew greenery is
with wrapping wire attached all around. Between the willow branches are
wooden horns clamped, filled with Oasis floral foam. The red
fruits and flowers - Rosa 'Red Naomi,' rose hips, Gypsophilla,
Dendrobium - form a contrast to the greenery. In gold color
sprayed Asparagus plumosus and poppy fruit boxes provide the
the finishing touch.
Dry versus live
The special base of this bridal bouquet is made of dried and stabilized materials. Brown bark is glued to a Styrofoam half sphere; a burlap cord acts as a handle. The Oasis ring, glued to the half sphere, is filled with stabilized pale Eucalyptus and dried Lagurus plumes. Next, the living materials are incorporated: spray chrysanthemums 'Ellison Salmon' cover the vacant floral foam. Ranunculus 'Manuela' and spray roses 'Keijsers Coral' and Rosa 'Salty Caramel' provide trendy color. Also incorporated is bleached teasel (Dipsacus) as well as dried Papaver, Cymbidium 'Balou' and Dianthus 'Caramello'. Chrysanthemum 'Kalimba Salmon' is placed along one side and provides.
