Crocheted lace
The base of this bouquet is a small bag made of crocheted lace, which has been stiffened with starch. An iron handle—wrapped in white cotton using macramé—is attached to the bag. The flowers are arranged in small tubes of water inside the bag, which is further filled with white cotton. Materials used include green Viburnum opulus flowers, Rhipsalis tendrils, Hypericum berries strung on silver wire, Scabiosa ‘Bon Bon Scoop French Vanilla’ and Jasminum in shades ranging from white-pink to burgundy, Helleborus ‘Classic One’, and Scabiosa ‘Dark Cherry’. A Caladium leaf gives the bouquet a unique signature.
A stunning bridal bouquet
For this bouquet, a section of an old horn was used as the base. The Oasis foam sphere attached at the center is filled with Craspedia ‘Paintball Pop’. Using cold glue and gold thread, garlands were created from Craspedia and the delicate flowers of Polianthes ‘Elsa Blush’. The garlands are inserted into the central sphere and secured with hot glue. Other materials used include: Scabiosa ‘Bon Bon Scoop French Vanilla’, Rhipsalis, Delphinium ‘Bella Andes White’ flowers, and Clematis ‘Amazing Vienna’, which was given a central place in the bouquet.
Tropical Wedding
This bridal bouquet features a tropical, bold, and opulent style. Its exotic look combines rich textures and elegant lines. The floral arrangement highlights the orange Gloriosa, and the unique flowers add movement and sparkle. It also incorporates tropical leaves (Philodendron ‘Xanadu’), red bromeliads, Dianthus barbatus, and long French tulips. The long leaves of the Rhipsalis add an elegant line. The whole is brought together in the form of elongated leaves, carefully woven with Oasis Bindwire. This sculptural base emphasizes the contemporary and refined character of the bouquet.
What reflects
Two golden yellow glass vases that perfectly coordinate with the gold-rimmed mirror form the base. Branches and a metal leaf carefully integrated into this composition play a connecting
factor in this creation. Branches of chamber pines hang in the branches as natural Christmas decorations. Amaryllis, Anthurium and Rhipsalis enhance the green lines. Vanda orchids are placed outside the vases in water tubes while Clematis fluff provides a frilly effect. A work that looks at what reflects. In the mirror, direction becomes visible, as well as returning light, life.
Guard post of light
Refined woven willow branches form the
sturdy base of this natural candlestick. Metal branches, leaves and a candle holder bring balance. Chamberlains, Vanda, lily and Rhipsalis make up the floral fill. A single white candle
symbolizes a sentinel of light. The wood reaches to the earth, the flame to the sky. In between, the field, nature, a reminder of what continues to burn.
Circle of Life
In this creation, a willow circle is the support for a special combination of botanical materials: chamber pines, Vanda, Amaryllis, Clematis fluff, lilies, Leucospermum, Calathea and Rhipsalis. Metal sprite lines and self-created metal leaves help direct the creation. A work that listens to space. The circle catches the light as the field catches the sun. Christmas as a return of life that never completely disappeared.
