Spring luxury
The basic form of this arrangement is an iron frame to which willow catkins (Salix) are attached with binding wire. The construction is placed in a glass bowl. The longest flower stems, such as Polianthes, are placed first, and the shortest ones last. Each flower stem is attached to the construction with binding wire. Spring flowers in pastels add color: Jasminum, Hyacinthus, Ranunculus, Anemone.
High contrast
Faded grasses from the garden are tied into small bundles with fine bullion wire – for this arrangement, some 350 bundles have been inserted into a base of Oasis Sec floral foam. Centrally in this grass object, or table piece for Easter, glass tubes have been inserted into the floral foam and filled with spring flowers: Craspedia, French tulips, mimosa ‘Mirandol’, small-flowered daffodils and Ranunculus ‘Butterfly’.
A touch of sun
The mix of light-colored grasses and flowers in all shades of yellow, together with a soft and airy structure, ensures that this bouquet radiates energy and optimism. The base is a metal wreath on which fine grasses such as Stipa pennata and yellow hare tails (Lagurus) are bound. In the heart, a sheaf-bound bouquet with soft yellow Ranunculus, warm yellow spray roses, cream-green Helleborus, green-yellow Fritillaria, and sturdy yellow Craspedia.
Soft floral heart
Central is the soft, sweet character of willow catkins (Salix). The centerpiece of the bouquet is a polystyrene sphere that is completely covered with catkins. Three skewers are inserted into the edge of the polystyrene and form the handle. Several Salix branches are attached to a metal ring with binding wire to form an airy wreath. The wreath is attached to the sphere. The flowers are inserted between the willow branches – with their soft, warm colors they emphasize the softness of the heart of the bouquet. Flowers used: Tulipa, Ranunculus, Dianthus.
Floral nestlings
In the spring, birds build their nests. For this, they carefully select all the materials to create a beautifully structured nest. For the base of this fan bouquet, a structure is made of stub wires wrapped with brown floral tape and decorative gold wire. The flowers of Dianthus, Ranunculus, Mentha, Clematis, and Scabiosa are inserted through the structure and then tied in a sheaf. A nice spring accent is formed by the wired eggshells filled with a rose, which are inserted between the flowers as flower nests.
Symphony in yellow
Plastic dishes with Oasis have been placed between the small wooden logs of the substructure. The flowers in yellow and green hues are arranged in these: Ranunculus ‘Clooney Green Super’, yellow French tulip, Viburnum ‘Roseum’, Salix ‘Snowflake’, broom (Cytisus scoparius) and various dried grasses.
