In Harmony
This warm-toned arrangement was inspired by the classic Mobach vase, with colors drawn directly from its ceramic glaze. By working exclusively with warm hues, a dis
tinctly different mood emerges. The bold, full forms of Paeonia, Rosa, Chrysanthemum, Calendula, and Dahlia create a strong visual foundation, contrasted by the delicate, airy textures of Cotinus, Lathyrus, and Gloriosa. Key to achieving the sense of warmth and dimension is care
fully placed Viola, Paeonia, and Dahlia.
The arrangement was composed directly in the vase, without support materials.
Mirror, mirror
The base of this bridal bouquet is a round mirror with a frame of wooden sticks. A handle is made from rustic wire, which is wrapped with binding wire for a neat finish. Subsequently, all the flowers are glued to the mirror frame, with the unusual, and therefore exciting, use of color catching the eye. Flowers used: spray roses, lisianthus, spray chrysanthemum, Peperomia leaf, Craspedia, Chasmanthium grass, Limonium, Talinum 'Long John' and Gloriosa.
Sweeping
An Oasis basic holder in the shape of a heart was given a stem made of wire. To accentuate the heart shape a bit more, an extra layer of floral foam oasis was applied and finished with tape. The entire surface is sprayed copper-colored and then finished in several layers with deco sand (and glue spray). A sweeping wire construction with pink wooden flowers is placed over this. This is attached to the floral foam with copper-colored pins. The flowers are then glued into the arrangement: spray rose, (spray) chrysanthemum, Scabiosa stellata seed pods, lisianthus, Talinum ‘Long John’ and tendrils of Ceropegia woodii.
Challenging purple
Purple is not often the first choice for people ordering a bridal bouquet, but it is very beautiful. This generous bouquet is full of details such as various purple plastic flowers, beads and other items that have been placed on beautiful branches of purple aluminum wire (1 mm). Different types of flowers have been incorporated in a matching color palette: Talinum 'Long John', Clematis, Gloriosa, Phalaenopsis.
Diadem
On her big day, every bride is a princess. For brides who love attention, a floral diadem is the perfect crowning touch. A diadem (from a party store) is a perfect base for gluing materials directly onto. Fine fresh materials in purple, brown, and green hues, such as orchids, Gloriosa, Talinum ‘Long John’, and Osmunda fern fronds, are applied to the base.
Infinite
The symbol for infinity is a circle or wreath shape – a beautiful symbol for a bridal bouquet. The base, a photo holder, has a perfect model foot to serve as the foundation for this bridal bouquet. The foot is extended with black florist wire (1.6 mm), after which the whole thing is sprayed copper. The copper-colored flowers are made of foam, treated with copper leaf, and then individually wired and twisted into branches. The wreath shape is made from these. There are also a number of dark red plastic flowers incorporated that beautifully complement the flowers and Hypericum berries. The flowers used are Talinum 'Long John', Cambria, and Gloriosa.
