Cool and romantic
The base of this floral crown is made of dried grasses, which highlight the bride’s rugged character. The romantic garden roses in soft pastel shades convey the message that behind the tough exterior lies a very romantic soul. The beige tones of the grass and the brighter colors of the flowers combine two seasons: a fresh, fruity spring and a dry, warm summer. The base of the floral crown is a headband with Oasis floral foam.
“The Bride in the Spotlight”
Seda Virabian, a floral designer of Armenian descent, has lived in Belgium since she was ten. “I’ve always loved flowers. I could spend hours looking at them, smelling them, and admiring them.”
In 2017, she launched a pop-up shop, which was an instant hit. This spring, she moved her shop to a new location in downtown Kortrijk. Seda organizes individual and group workshops and decorates store windows, parties, and weddings. Still, her dream remains to take on even more artistic commissions. “I hope that someday there will be a TV show for florists, which will lead to greater understanding and appreciation for our wonderful profession!”
For her bridal work, Seda draws inspiration from paintings by artists such as the Pre-Raphaelites, who highlight the beauty of women. Through floral crowns, Seda seeks to express a woman’s inner beauty. In doing so, she pays close attention to her clients’ floral preferences and personality traits. “Floral crowns can be a perfect alternative to bridal bouquets. The bride herself essentially becomes the bridal bouquet.”
Tropical Wedding
This bridal bouquet features a tropical, bold, and opulent style. Its exotic look combines rich textures and elegant lines. The floral arrangement highlights the orange Gloriosa, and the unique flowers add movement and sparkle. It also incorporates tropical leaves (Philodendron ‘Xanadu’), red bromeliads, Dianthus barbatus, and long French tulips. The long leaves of the Rhipsalis add an elegant line. The whole is brought together in the form of elongated leaves, carefully woven with Oasis Bindwire. This sculptural base emphasizes the contemporary and refined character of the bouquet.
Cascade Bouquet
The cascading shape gives this bridal bouquet a sophisticated and unique look. At its center is a circular arrangement of poppy seeds, which adds richness in texture and character. Wrapping around this centerpiece is a structure of twisted aluminum wire, elegantly finished with glass beads and small, holographic plastic flowers. The floral composition is further built up with small leaves of Peperomia ‘Red Luna’, complemented by flowers of Chrysanthemum ‘Santini Doria Pink’, Clematis ‘Amazing Kiev’, and Phalaenopsis ‘Montreux’.
Subtle interplay
A delicate structure, crafted entirely by hand, makes this bridal bouquet unique. The base is woven with very fine, dried Hillflowers Burgundy, whose burgundy hue adds depth to the overall design. The woven pattern has a slightly curved shape, giving the bouquet a soft and harmonious appearance. The structure is then filled with a refined floral composition of Clematis ‘Amazing Kiev’, small buds of Chrysanthemum ‘Santini Doria Pink’, and delicate, bell-shaped flowers of Helleborus ‘Bella Belles’.
Distinctive silhouette
This teardrop-shaped bridal bouquet features an elongated and distinctive silhouette for a refined and contemporary look. The stylish, diamond-shaped glass handle adds a touch of luxury to the overall design. The delicate and airy structure of the bouquet is crafted using Paper Covered Wire—iron wire wrapped in white paper. Strings of glass beads are incorporated within the teardrop shape. The floral composition is then enriched with various varieties of Clematis: ‘Amazing London,’ ‘Amazing Kansas,’ and ‘Amazing Rome,’ and complemented by the small flowers of the Astrantia ‘Billion Star.’
