Simplicity
On a zinc pot in ‘oil’ colors, a stacking is made of oasis cake shapes – to two-thirds of the pot size. A thin layer of cling film is applied around the oasis to retain the water. Three tonkin sticks are inserted through all layers to give the whole thing firmness. You can also easily insert the flower stems through the layer of plastic. A number of wired pine cones are inserted into the base in a nice distribution. After this, the green materials are cut short until the entire column is filled: pink spray chrysanthemum, Hydrangea ‘Revolution’ and different types of Cape green. Two Nobilis branches have been stripped until only the tips are filled with green. These are attached to the side of the column at two points with binding wire.
In Balance
For the base, a vase has been chosen in the same colors as the
arrangement. Subsequently, six black pokes are wrapped
with brown painter's tape, inserted into an Oasis Bio wreath and
bent and secured so that the wreath is higher on one side. The six
pokes are tied to a binding point so that they fit well in and
on the vase. Subsequently, dark brown rustic wire is wrapped
around the wreath in large strokes and secured downwards in a
waterfall shape.
First, the pink hydrangea and lisianthus varieties,
'Sabrina Orange' and 'Terracotta', are inserted. Subsequently, 'air'
is created with the other flowers: orange Gloriosa, hanging
Amaranthus, rosehip 'Zaffiro', Anthurium, orange spray
chrysanthemum, salmon-colored spray rose, Syngonium leaf, Rosa
'Esmeralda' and disbudded chrysanthemum. All flowers follow
the line of the waterfall-shaped construction. All tendrils and
long flower stems are additionally secured with binding wire.
Exotic accent
Oasis mini deco Ideals are affixed within interconnected halved coconuts (with holes) – these have been pre-sprayed brown. Spray chrysanthemums ‘Lets Go Pink’ form the base, interspersed with Dianthus ‘Antigua’, Chamelaucium ‘Grande Adi’ and Celosia ‘Pink Plume’. Dried bamboo rings, Cymbidium mini superba and tropical fruits, secured between the coconuts, provide an additional exotic accent. The flexible stems of Calla ‘Sumatra Purple’ are inserted through the coconut holes and thus secured in the bridal bouquet. As the crowning touch, small Phalaenopsis ‘Kolibri Basel’ are glued onto the bridal bouquet.
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.
In my heart
A heart remains a preferred shape for funeral flower arrangements. For this arrangement, a circle is cut from a wooden plate. Lotus leaves, Nelumbo nucifera, are coated with wallpaper paste on both sides and glued onto the circle. The greenery is arranged first in an Oasis Bio heart: Stachys leaves, Myrthus communis, and Acer leaves made of silk. Santini spray chrysanthemums and a few carnations provide the floral filling. After the base is completely dry, the heart shape is attached to the circle. Tendrils of Passiflora and Stipa grass provide a playful finish.
