Autumn basket
A half hollow polystyrene ball is covered on the outside with birch bark and on the inside with terracotta-colored clay. An Oasis ball filled with chrysanthemums is placed in the bowl shape. Materials that dry nicely, such as Rudbeckia, rosehip, Viburnum berries, and Scabiosa stellata, are then glued to the edge of the bowl.
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.
Circle full of power
A circle radiates strength, is protective but also stands for perfection, infinity and friendship: characteristics that can symbolize the deceased. The base is a cardboard cat bed. The cardboard harmonica forms a beautiful natural base that can be unfolded in various round shapes. The shape is placed on a glass dish, then glass test tubes are placed in the openings of the harmonica. With loose (dried) flowers without glass, it is a nice alternative to a natural burial site – then it can completely blend into nature. Here, the glass tubes are filled with Abelia, Astrantia, Clematis, Crocosmia, Dahlia, Gomphrena, Houttuynia, Rubus, Scabiosa, Sempervivum and Viburnum.
Heartwarming embrace
The dried leaf of the Strelitzia is tied around an Oasis wreath, which ensures a firm embrace of the red heart. This center of warm red flowers consists of Hydrangea ‘Ruby Red’, Rosa ‘Ducati’ and Scabiosa ‘Dark Cherry’. Playful twigs of Talinum paniculatum ‘Long John’ bring some lightness and refinement to the composition.
Floating heart
A floating arrangement is very suitable for an ash scattering on the water, but also for a memorial service on the waterfront. To make the arrangement ‘float’, Oasis Sec blocks are attached under the wooden disc. Then holes were drilled in the wooden disc in the shape of a heart. A warm color palette of botanical materials has been placed in the holes. The materials ‘float’ above the wooden disc and drink their moisture directly from the surface water. Botanical materials: Astrantia, Chrysanthemum, Crocosmia, Dahlia, Heliopsis, lisianthus, Scabiosa and Zinnia.
