Autumn wreath in the mix
On a bio-wreath from Smithers Oasis, many dried skeletal Physalis seed pods are glued. All kinds of dried flowers are incorporated on this base, which makes this wreath largely durable. There are many small buds to be found as well as Helichrysum, Gomphrena and Zinnia. Some beautifully drying fresh materials have also been incorporated. To break up the whole and create a contrast between the natural materials, beautiful (fully biodegradable) satin cord has been incorporated.
Lasting memory
This handmade frame is 90% made of wood. The base construction is digitally designed and cut using a laser cutter. The remaining wood has been transformed into a top part, where wood powder was mixed with water and wood glue. For the flower combination, Clematis, various grasses, blackberries, Viburnum berries, Zinnia, and other beautiful seasonal flowers in soft purple and pink hues were chosen. This arrangement can first be beautifully placed next to the coffin as a tribute and then taken home as a lasting memory.
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.
