For my love
You don't always have to express your love with a large bouquet – why not with a beautiful wreath? A strip of felt is glued around a Bio wreath from Smithers Oasis for finishing. Incidentally, the Bio floral foam can simply remain visible – not completely filled saves a lot of time and material costs. The processed flowers are: Talinum ‘Long John’, carnations, Clematis fluff, Cambria orchid, Scabiosa flowers and seed pods, Ludisia orchid, Syngonium leaf, Japanese Allium and jasmine vines. For the ultimate feeling of love, a number of beautiful wooden hearts have been incorporated in beautifully matching colors.
Radiant
A picture for Mother's Day! The base of this frame bouquet is made of wire with a wreath made of wooden coffee stirrers attached to it with Smithers Oasis paper wire. The color is neutral and very natural, giving you all the possibilities in terms of flower colors. A beautiful mix of Japanese Allium, chrysanthemums, Phalaenopsis, Clematis flowers and fluff, Scabiosa seed pods, and jasmine vines has been chosen.
Cuddly
A polystyrene heart with a felt layer is painted to tone down the bright color somewhat. The pipe cleaners – also soft and cuddly – are placed on a wire frame using a chicken wire technique and formed around the heart.
The various beautiful carnations fit well in terms of color and structure in this bouquet and are also very easy to incorporate between and under the pipe cleaners. Furthermore, Scabiosa flowers and seed pods are incorporated, as well as the pink bracts of Vriesea – beautiful varieties to incorporate in compact bouquets. The two Phalaenopsis flowers are in tubes; they match perfectly in color and complete the arrangement beautifully.
Subdued
For this Mother's Day bouquet in beautiful shades of brown, 5mm aluminum wires are wrapped with metallic wool, interspersed with a brown fabric heart. A beautiful symbolism: the heart is pierced with a single thread, and the remaining threads 'grow' around it, as do the flowers that weave through the threads. Sanguisorba, Talinum 'Long John', Cambria orchid, Phalaenopsis, Gloriosa, Japanese Allium, Scabiosa, beautiful brown carnations, and fragrant Polianthes tuberosa are incorporated here.
Wonder
It is fascinating how an egg breaks open and new life emerges from it. This creation symbolizes that wonder. The base is a polystyrene hemisphere on which a (duck) egg is first placed centrally. Quail eggs are then glued around this egg. The polystyrene serves as a mold and is removed after gluing. A piece of Oasis Bio floral foam is placed on a dish – the hemisphere with quail eggs is placed on top of this. A variety of spring flowers are then inserted into the floral foam. Flowers used: Clematis, Muscari, Scabiosa, Delphinium, Achillea and Limonium.
Floral nestlings
In the spring, birds build their nests. For this, they carefully select all the materials to create a beautifully structured nest. For the base of this fan bouquet, a structure is made of stub wires wrapped with brown floral tape and decorative gold wire. The flowers of Dianthus, Ranunculus, Mentha, Clematis, and Scabiosa are inserted through the structure and then tied in a sheaf. A nice spring accent is formed by the wired eggshells filled with a rose, which are inserted between the flowers as flower nests.
