A Botanical Landscape
The flowers of Vanda ‘Jeff Leatham’ are arranged on water tubes positioned above the composition. The tubes are wrapped in Oasis’s naturally biodegradable twine, making the technique a visible part of the design. At the center lies a small garden landscape of Sempervivum. Soil has been removed from beneath the plants, creating variations in height and thus a sense of relief. Curcuma fruits in various sizes bring rhythm to the arrangement; the delicate branches of Talinum ‘Long John’ add movement. The result is a stylized botanical landscape at the intersection of gardening and floral art.
With a shine
On warm days, this arrangement offers an alternative to a floral wreath.
The hand-blown vases are filled with Sanguisorba ‘Red Dream’, Talinum ‘Long John’, Craspedia ‘Paintball Pop’, Gloriosa superba ‘Simba Fifty Shades’, Panicum ‘Warrior’, and Chasmanthium latifolium ‘Mantis’. Dark Scabiosa from the Scoop series deepens the color palette. Ball candles in gold bowls and dinner candles in luster candlesticks add a touch of sparkle.
Ornament
The decorative element inside this bouquet was created entirely using a 3D printer and consists of branches adorned with 3D-printed pearls. All the fresh flowers were secured using Smithers Oasis cold glue. The bouquet features Fritillaria, Gloriosa, ranunculus, Hypericum, Tillandsia ‘Xerographica’, and Talinum ‘Long John’.
Chic headband
In addition to a bridal bouquet, the bride can also wear a floral tiara. This tiara was created using a 3D printer. All fresh flowers are glued directly to the base using Smithers Oasis cold glue. The tiara features various small and delicate materials. It incorporates Talinum ‘Long John’, Madiba chrysanthemums, buds from the Cambria orchid, Hypericum, Phalaenopsis, and dried Mikado buds.
Lady-Round
This mysteriously colored bridal bouquet is arranged on a Smithers Oasis lady-round. The advantage of this is that the flowers don’t dry out. A spiderweb has been created from salmon-colored aluminum wire extending from the lady-round. The flowers can be secured to this frame. Personally, I find this color combination very beautiful: all those burgundy tones with brown and salmon. The arrangement includes Gloriosa, Cymbidium, carnivorous plants, ranunculus, Talinum ‘Long John’, various orchids, chrysanthemums, jasmine vines, and dried Chasmanthium grasses.
Dried fruit
The lid of an old hatbox serves as the base for this bouquet. The handle is made of several strands of wire. A layer of felt provides a neat interior finish. A small wreath made of Oasis is attached to this, onto which dried fruit is glued. The wreath is filled with delicate Talinum ‘Long John’, Scabiosa ‘Dark Cherry’, and Clematis ‘Amazing Kyiv’. Hypericum berries add a touch of extra color. Flowers from Fritillaria persica ‘Purple’ create a connection between the fruit and the rose-red flowers. The bouquet is finished with a tendril of Hedera.
