Dried versus living
The special base of this bridal bouquet is made of dried and stabilized materials. Brown bark is glued onto a half styrofoam ball, and a jute cord serves as a handle. The Oasis ring, glued to the half ball, is filled with stabilized pale Eucalyptus and dried Lagurus plumes. Then the living materials are processed: spray chrysanthemums 'Ellison Salmon' cover the exposed floral foam. Ranunculus 'Manuela' and the spray rose 'Keijsers Coral' and Rosa 'Salty Caramel' provide trendy color. Furthermore, bleached teasel (Dipsacus) is processed as well as dried Papaver, Cymbidium 'Balou' and Dianthus 'Caramello'. Chrysanthemum 'Kalimba Salmon' is placed along one side and provides.
A touch of magic
The foundation of this magical bridal bouquet is a halved polystyrene sphere covered with dried lotus leaves. The handle is crafted from bamboo sticks inserted into the sphere. An Oasis Bio ring is glued into the sphere and filled with spray chrysanthemums 'Ellison Salmon'. Protea 'Grandicolor' provides height to the bouquet. Additional materials include Fagus, stabilized beech leaves, Eucalyptus in brown/orange hues, Chrysanthemum 'Pip Salmon', Ranunculus 'Manuela', Cymbidium 'Going West', spray rose 'Keijsers Coral', and Rosa 'Kahala'. For a playful touch, wire-wrapped aluminum wire is coiled around the creation.
Macramé
When you think of a bohemian wedding, you immediately envision a macramé backdrop, a dress with macramé elements, and macramé decorations. This bridal bouquet was created in a macramé 'handbag' made on a wooden circle with a 30cm diameter. Typical for this style is the addition of foliage such as Tillandsia and a spotted Begonia leaf. Flowers used: Rosa 'Living Coral', spray rose Azore, Eustoma 'Sabrina Orange', Jasminum, Gloriosa 'Exotic Orange', Phalaenopsis, and Chrysanthemum Santini Doria Cherry.
