Natural wreaths
For the base of each of these wreaths, a polystyrene ring is
used on which prepared foliage is glued with hot glue.
A layer of bullion wire is wrapped around the foliage for
decoration - it also ensures that the foliage stays nicely
within the shape everywhere. All materials are glued with hot
glue, including a number of Christmas baubles upside down
so that they can also serve as water carriers for Gloriosa
and a number of small Phalaenopsis and Nerine flowers.
Strong together
A series of multiple sizes sells better in the flower shop than a single item. People
like to have a choice in terms of size and budget. These rings already have a nice base on which
they stand, and are quick to arrange.
The rings are tightly wrapped with gold-colored bullion thread – which is both decorative and
technical here because all the processed materials are attached to it. All dried and preserved
materials have a long shelf life, with the exception of the white mini Phalaenopsis.
Love is all around
Perfect for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, this beautifully arranged heart! This Bio heart from Smithers Oasis is made in the Pantone Color of the Year 2024, Peach Fuzz. The edge is finished with light brown foam flowers in various sizes. Very decorative, but also a nice way to make this heart quickly and also save costs by achieving a lot of effect with relatively few flowers – and yet it looks precious.
The base consists of beautiful salmon-colored and light brown carnations in the center. To spice things up a bit, two Phalaenopsis flowers and Japanese Allium are incorporated. The lines of this Allium are very expressive – they change the appearance of any arrangement. In addition, they have a very long shelf life.
Radiant
A picture for Mother's Day! The base of this frame bouquet is made of wire with a wreath made of wooden coffee stirrers attached to it with Smithers Oasis paper wire. The color is neutral and very natural, giving you all the possibilities in terms of flower colors. A beautiful mix of Japanese Allium, chrysanthemums, Phalaenopsis, Clematis flowers and fluff, Scabiosa seed pods, and jasmine vines has been chosen.
Cuddly
A polystyrene heart with a felt layer is painted to tone down the bright color somewhat. The pipe cleaners – also soft and cuddly – are placed on a wire frame using a chicken wire technique and formed around the heart.
The various beautiful carnations fit well in terms of color and structure in this bouquet and are also very easy to incorporate between and under the pipe cleaners. Furthermore, Scabiosa flowers and seed pods are incorporated, as well as the pink bracts of Vriesea – beautiful varieties to incorporate in compact bouquets. The two Phalaenopsis flowers are in tubes; they match perfectly in color and complete the arrangement beautifully.
Subdued
For this Mother's Day bouquet in beautiful shades of brown, 5mm aluminum wires are wrapped with metallic wool, interspersed with a brown fabric heart. A beautiful symbolism: the heart is pierced with a single thread, and the remaining threads 'grow' around it, as do the flowers that weave through the threads. Sanguisorba, Talinum 'Long John', Cambria orchid, Phalaenopsis, Gloriosa, Japanese Allium, Scabiosa, beautiful brown carnations, and fragrant Polianthes tuberosa are incorporated here.
