Floating Autumn
The base of this arrangement consists of a wooden plank to which five lampshades are attached. The wooden legs make it appear as if the plank is “floating.” The lampshades were filled with coiled grasses. A bird has even built its nest here—which remained among the lampshades after the eggs hatched. The inverted lampshades are filled with Oasis and arranged with, among other things: Dahlia ‘Hapet Harmony,’ Epidendrum, Phalaenopsis, Tillandsia, poppy seed pods, Sempervivum, wild marjoram, and Lagurus ovatus (hare’s tail).
On a standard—
Joyce combines five dried Heliconia into one large arrangement. She arranged beautiful flowers in between them. “It could easily be a cool bridal bouquet, but I hung this one on a stand.” Materials used include: Heliconia ‘She Kong,’ Phalaenopsis ‘Exclusivo Pikachu,’ Phalaenopsis ‘Crème,’ Tillandsia, clematis fluff, Sarracenia, and Physalis skeleton.
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’.
Flower boa
For a bride who wants to make a statement and has a bit of daring, you could suggest creating a stunning boa. This way, she’ll also have her hands free throughout the day. This boa has a very special base: it incorporates two hundred 3D-printed blossoms. The arrangement is a combination of flowers and plants. Among others, orchids, succulents, Tillandsias, Cryptanthus on wire, Kalanchoe leaves, and parts of Guzmania plants have been used. Cut flowers have also been incorporated, such as Lisianthus, Cymbidium, and Gloriosa.
Teardrop shape
This bridal bouquet is shaped like a teardrop. The base is 3D-printed and consists of fern-shaped ribbons. The teardrop shape incorporates leaves from Tillandsia ‘Xerographica’ and individual leaves from freeze-dried roses. You can create this base several days before the wedding. Then, on the day itself, all you need to do is attach the fresh materials. Fresh materials used here include: Phalaenopsis ‘Golden River’, Hypericum, ranunculus, and flowers from the Ludisia orchid.
Bridal blue
The base of this bridal bouquet is made of wood and finished in a deep blue hue. Living materials used include Nepenthes, Tillandsia, Talinum ‘Long John’, Agapanthus, orchids, and Gymnocalycium ‘Spineless’. Various types of foliage provide calm and balance to the overall composition. The use of unexpected plant parts, such as roots, stems, and
leaves, adds extra character.
