Pink, I'm here for you
Pink Day (April 9th) is dedicated to love and care. Salix branches are interwoven into a heart, like people in a community, symbolizing resilience and connection. The pink Tulipa 'Double Future' represents tenderness, compassion, and hope. The arrangement reminds us how important it is to be there for each other. The whole forms a powerful symbol of love and support, fitting with the message of Pink Day: no one is alone.
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.
Play of lines
A rectangular wooden dish is filled with clay and covered with dried Tillandsia, which is secured with staples. Willow catkins (Salix) are inserted into the clay, then folded and also secured with the tip in the clay. The resulting tight shape has a beautiful interplay of lines; attention to the design is very important. Duck eggs are glued onto the construction with hot glue, alternating with small blue quail eggs. The duck eggs also act as water carriers, in which blue Muscari flowers are arranged.
More with less
The inspiration for this bouquet is the theme of sustainability – how to create a lot of impact 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. When the branches are firmly interlocked and the 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 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.
Blue treasure
A handmade unique bowl is filled with floral foam. The following materials are arranged in it; sprouting hazel branches with ‘catkins’ (Corylus avellana), tendrils of Dutchman's pipe (Aristolochia macrophylla), Salix viminalis, and blue grape hyacinths on bulbs (Muscari armeniacum). Feathers and quail eggs are glued onto the whole.
