Intertwined
This arrangement features a hand-knotted, semi-circular frame made from 1.4 mm black floral wire. Woven through the structure are a variety of roadside grasses and seed pods, creating a natural, textural base. The frame is placed over a large bowl filled with water, the whole thing is placed on a glass cake stand to give the piece height and elegance. The flowers are arranged directly into water - no floral foam required. While the materials are biodegradable, the frame itself is durable and can be reused many times.
Love tendrils
The base for this bridal bouquet is an Oasis bridy bridal bouquet holder. The insertion technique was used. The chosen flowers are Clematis, Lathyrus, Viburnum, and Stephanotis bridal flower tendrils in cream and lilac shades. Together with the fine structure of Talinum 'Long John', it becomes a graceful and refined whole of love vines.
In balance
The base consists of a beautiful square dish with three specimens of
the new corner shape from Smithers-Oasis, the Bioline Bio Half Quadro. Elaeagnus leaves (back side up)
are attached to the wooden part of the corner shapes with a staple gun.
To create height differences and dimension in the creation, two shapes are attached
to each other on one side of the dish, and one shape is placed on the other side.
Then, Viburnum davidii berries are inserted shortly into the floral foam; the pale
back of the olive willow leaf contrasts nicely with the dark Viburnum davidii berries.
The whole is finished with mossy branches and Symphoricarpos berries, with some
ornamental pears (Pyrus calleryana) in the middle.
Pirouette
For the base of this elegant spring arrangement, a floral foam vase is covered with cork, filled with floral foam, and provided with a base. In circularly arranged layers, from top to bottom, dried grasses, Amaranthus 'Yearming Desert', white feathers, Helleborus 'Mammoth Red', French tulip 'Parrot White', Viburnum 'Roseum', and reed plumes are incorporated.
Symphony in yellow
Plastic dishes with Oasis have been placed between the small wooden logs of the substructure. The flowers in yellow and green hues are arranged in these: Ranunculus ‘Clooney Green Super’, yellow French tulip, Viburnum ‘Roseum’, Salix ‘Snowflake’, broom (Cytisus scoparius) and various dried grasses.
Spring welcome
The sturdy base is made of a wooden pillar of scaffolding wood to which birch logs are attached. The two large water pipes are each mounted on wooden panels with a structure of gold-colored tile adhesive. The whole is interconnected by a branch construction made of wild honeysuckle vines. The following materials are incorporated in the water pipes: French tulip, Crassula 'Paintball Pop', Sandersonia, Viburnum 'Roseum', Chaenomeles, and pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana).
