‘Every creation tells a unique story’

In 2021, during an internship with Hanneke Frankema in the Netherlands, Claudia Tararache participates in an online competition with a floral dress. She immediately catches our attention. A year later, she wins another prize at Fleuramour in Alden Biesen with a special bridal bouquet.

The current era.

In the base, a piece of wooden beam (residual wood), a number of gold-colored metal fern-like leaves are placed in a regular rhythm: very straight upwards. To create a nice contrast between the two elements, the flowers are placed organically. The arrangement symbolizes the time of now, where the gold-colored ferns are the people, and the flowers are the surrounding nature. Very different and yet not clashing, they form a beautiful whole.

Back to nature

A beautifully robust slate container is filled with Oasis Terra Brick. Many different special types of flowers have been incorporated, placed as they naturally grow from the earth. A beautiful mix of French tulips, orchids, Cambria, Ludisia, Cornus, Talinum 'Long John', Osmunda fern curl, Ranunculus, and Nerine are incorporated here. All materials are biodegradable and can return to nature.

Beautifully fragile

A fully biodegradable arrangement with beautiful water carriers in a beautiful model. The water carriers have an opening at the bottom that exactly fits a bamboo stick. The bamboo sticks are then placed in drilled holes in a beautiful wooden disc. Beautiful fragile flowers with thin stems are incorporated in the water carriers. By cutting the tubes shorter, the opening becomes larger and thicker stems also fit in. Talinum 'Long John', Clematis, Cambria orchid and a beautiful purple Gloriosa are processed as they grow in nature.

Flower garden

The icing on the cake.

The base of this graceful floral ensemble is a brown Bio Cake dummy from Smithers-Oasis that has been dipped in candle wax several times. This makes it waterproof – and you can process this surface as such. The flowers are vegetatively inserted into the floral foam. The brown variant can remain visible and therefore requires fewer flowers. Placement of the flowers and materials is very precise: all flowers must have their own place. Make sure you insert correctly in one go so that no holes are visible in the floral foam.
