Spring
As far as we are concerned, spring cannot begin early enough. Immediately after the Christmas festivities, the beacons are immediately moved. There is a need for space and light. The first flowering branches, the snowdrops, the Helleborus flowers and blue grape hyacinths: let them come, we know what to do with them.
Shards
Fallen Christmas baubles are the inspiration for this
easy-to-make arrangement – which also works well
in a smaller format. The larger shards are glued to the
dish, the small pieces scattered. With beautiful candles
and here and there a whole Christmas bauble serving as a vase
– containing a carnation, Vanda or Nerine – a tasteful
ensemble is created.
Prickly
A polystyrene ball is wrapped with red wool, leaving
space so that the approximately one hundred tonkin sticks can be inserted between them. The tonkin sticks were sprayed red – in a quick movement – and then subtly sprinkled with glitter while the paint was still wet. A number of small Christmas baubles are glued into the heart. Finally, the Nerine and Gloriosa are inserted on floral tubes between the 'Corallo' rose hips.
Christmas baubles
For this cheerful trio, three polystyrene
balls are wrapped with red
wool – the wool is glued at a number
of crucial points. A floral tube is
inserted into the polystyrene ball
and filled with flowers:
Helleborus and Cyclamen. For
an extra Christmas accent, there are
some Nobilis and Ilex branches
and a number of wax apples
inserted into the polystyrene.
Colorful
An Oasis wreath is fully glued and fully inserted with
small glitter pine cones. The spaces between
the pine cones are filled with small glitter
stars. A color accent has been applied on one side
with Phalaenopsis flowers, these colors are
reflected in the twisted candles that are placed on the
wreath on the side of the Phalaenopsis. Calicarpa
berries and Ilex berries together with a
long garland of cucumber fruits and a small
silver thread give the colorful whole extra ‘schwung’.
Bulbs
On a glass dish, green wax
Amaryllis bulbs are inserted into a piece of oasis
floral foam. In the openings
between the Amaryllis bulbs are
green apples, green cucumber fruits
and glitter pine cones.
