Variation

Magdalena Kahlina created this bouquet using Astrantia 'Star of Love', Dianthus 'Hypnosis', ranunculus 'Elegance Red', seed heads of Scabiosa stellata, and Talinum paniculatum 'Long John', among other flowers.

‘My floral language is rooted in a balance between clarity of form and sensitivity to plant material. Space, silence, and the relationships between the elements play an essential role. Simplicity, refinement, and respect for the natural character of flowers form the basis of my creative approach.’

Dandelion bouquet

Gábor Nagy created a loose, airy bouquet using his favorite flower, the dandelion. "The center of the bouquet consists of dry floral foam in a round shape that I glued onto cardboard. I spray-painted the surface brown, covered it with decoupage glue, and sprinkled it with red quinoa seeds. Then I glued mirror plexiglass elements around it. I added some wires that I covered with black yarn. This made it much easier to arrange the flowers around the frame." Gábor used dried Actinidia vines, Clematis, Scabiosa, ranunculus, Nerine, Sanguisorba, and dandelions in the bouquet, among other things.

Ode to the tulip

Simplicity in multiples (and repetition) often creates the most beautiful arrangements. The trick is to find the right balance and keep the whole thing exciting to look at with a little imperfection. This arrangement is a contemporary take on the old-fashioned tulip vase. By arranging the blossoms widely, with long tulips, delicate Scabiosa, and fresh green Viburnum in between, this ode to the tulip was created.

Strong and bright

A fan built with florist wire (1.6mm) on a central pin. The whole thing is sprayed in copper color and then wrapped with copper-colored bouillon wire. Water tubes make changing and refreshing flowers easy. The slender lines allow Phalaenopsis, Gloriosa, Talinum 'Long John' and Scabiosa to stand out well within a strong and clear silhouette.

Winter mix

A generous hand-tied bouquet showcases a distinct winter mix of plants and cut flowers. It is constructed of copper-colored sprayed florist wire (1.6 mm) with dried pieces of Corokia plant parts in between, for a gray, winter look. Tillandsia plants, twisted branches of salmon-colored plastic flowers on wire add detail and layering. Included in the composition are Gloriosa, Clematis Amazing Kibo, Scabiosa, Syngonium, Phalaenopsis, Bromelia inflorescences, aster, Polianthes tuberosa and Euphorbia in a beautiful mix of colors.

Two hearts in one

A heart of silver aluminum wire (2 mm) is given a soft, silver-gray skin v an Calocephalus brownii. It is secured by wrapping with silver bouillon wire. Inside, a second, intimate small heart shape is glued with fine flowers - a beautiful symbolism. Materials used: Chrysanthemum, Scabiosa, Tillandsia, lisianthus, Clematis Amazing Kibo, mini Phalaenopsis and leaves of Kalanchoe.
