Circle of blue grapes
First, two different sizes of Oasis Biolit Bio bowls were filled with branches after which the flowers were incorporated into them. Floral materials used: Narcissus, Clematis, Crocosmia, Sanguisorba and Salix. The edge of the floral foam is finished off with Muscari balls sandwiched between the floral foam and the edge of the bowls. Butterflies folded from paper add to the spring feel.
Pink, I am here for you
Pink Day (April 9) is all about love and caring. Salix branches are intertwined into a heart like people in a community, symbolizing resilience and connection. The pink Tulipa 'Double Future' represent tenderness, compassion and hope. The arrangement reminds us how important it is to be there for each other. The whole arrangement forms a powerful symbol of love and support, fitting the message of Pink Day: no one is alone.
Springtime
The basic form of this arrangement is an iron frame to which willow cattails (Salix) are attached with bindwire. The structure is placed in a glass bowl. The longest flower stems such as Polianthes are arranged first, the shortest last. Each flower stem is attached to the construction ¬ attached with bindwire. Spring flowers in pastels bring color: Jasminum, Hyacinthus, Ranunculus, Anemone.
Line play
A rectangular wooden bowl was filled with clay and covered with dried Tillandsia, which was secured with staples. Willow cattails (Salix) were inserted into the clay, then folded and also fixed with the tip in the clay. The resulting sleek shape has a beautiful interplay of lines, attention to design is very important. With hot glue, duck eggs were glued to the construction, interspersed with small blue quail eggs. The duck eggs are also water carriers, in this blue Muscari flowers are suitable.
More with less
Inspiration for this bouquet is the theme of sustainability - how to create a lot of effect with few flowers. The base is a structure of fine branches: Salix and Chaenomeles japonica. Vertical branches are attached to two circles of fine Salix branches each time. When the branches are firmly together and structure remains stable, the fine flowers can be added: Craspedia, Gloriosa, French tulips, Sandersonia and leaves of Begonia maculata leaves. Then the whole is placed in a flat gold-colored bowl with water.
Symphony in yellow
Plastic bowls with Oasis were placed between the wooden stems of the base. In these are inserted flowers in yellow and green shades: Ranunculus 'Clooney Green Super,' yellow French tulip, Viburnum 'Roseum,' Salix 'Snowflake,' broom (Cytisus scoparius) and various dried grasses.
