Rose disc
A thick, round MDF disc was used as the base for this table arrangement. Holes were drilled into this for the approximately 60 glass tubes. After drilling, clean the holes thoroughly and first spray with copper metallic paint. A braid of Talinum ‘Long John’ is made between the tubes – these will dry beautifully. The showstoppers in this arrangement are the Avelanche Peach roses! These are in the tubes together with a number of beautiful ranunculus, almost black Scabiosa and Anthurium. The base can be reused endlessly or even rented out.
Expressive
For a smaller budget, working on a Smithers Oasis bridy can be a solution. This bridy already has a very beautiful stem of its own. In principle, this bridal bouquet is arranged in a round shape, but the flowers are at very different heights because working with depth is very beautiful here. However, a number of expressive flowers have been incorporated that should not compete with each other and must all have their own place, so the placement of the materials is very important. The flowers used are Avalanche Peach roses, Scabiosa, Clematis fluff, orchids, Anthurium, ranunculus, germinis, Talinum 'Long John', and Sanguisorba.
Winter happiness
An oval pot is filled with Oasis floral foam. The base of this floral arrangement consists of Amaryllis bulbs in various sizes and branches with larch and pine cones. Various flowers, candlesticks with handmade candles, pine cone varieties, cinnamon sticks, and dried lotus fruits are incorporated in between. Greenery: Helleborus, Nerine 'Sophie', prepared dandelion, burnet (Sanguisorba), Salix catkins, and wild Asparagus.
Bowl Bouquet
An impressive autumn bouquet with a brown frame, handmade vase, and flowers in mostly orange hues. The base is made using the chicken wire technique with 1.6mm florist wire. Young shoots of fruit trees, pruning waste from the garden and therefore free, are woven through this. Together with the wire, these form a kind of basket. Woody mossy branches that blew out of the trees in the garden after a heavy storm are also incorporated into the basket. This old dead wood is not only decorative but also technical: they lend themselves well to incorporating the Physalis seed pods between them. The seed pods are individually wired and joined together to form branches. Beautiful striking flowers are placed between all the branches: Celosia, Gloriosa, Zantedeschia, Guzmania, germinis, chrysanthemums, and beautiful accompanying materials such as Talinum, Hypericum, and Sanguisorba.
On discovery
Oasis TerraBrick Floral Media is placed in a beautiful handmade bowl. All processed flowers are first carefully cleaned, after which all flower heads are processed at one height and only using insertion techniques. Many beautiful varieties in colors appropriate to the theme are incorporated into the disc shape, which is built up with a curve. To be discovered are: chrysanthemums, Zantedeschia, Sanguisorba, Guzmania, dill, Talinum, Dianthus, lisianthus, Rudbeckia, grasses, and Clematis fluff.
Surprise Bouquet
The base of this surprise bouquet is a bowl made of salmon-colored aluminum wire (2 mm) using the chicken wire technique. The flowers, in burgundy, deep red, and lighter shades, are incorporated along the sides in the bowl shape of the frame, the stems also hold the frame up. A number of flowers have special shapes such as Guzmania, Phalaenopsis, chrysanthemum, Gloriosa, and Celosia. Sanguisorba, Talinum, Scabiosa, Clematis Amazing Kibo, lisianthus, Zantedeschia, and grasses are incorporated in between and along the outside.
