The floral tones - in fuchsia pink, blue, purple, orange - give the playful combination a hefty dose of boldness. Materials used: Gerbera 'Pasta', Delphinium, Zantedechia, Clematis, Polianthes tuberosa, red Eucalyptus with berry. A branch of gold sprayed judas pennywort, peacock feathers and some hummingbird ornaments enhance the colorful exotic look.
Playful connection
A wooden trough containing ball moss and a frame of reused wooden elements can either be placed on the ground or placed freely in the room on a pedestal - to be admired from all sides. The object continues to attract attention through its different textures and structures. Spray roses, orchids, Clematis and lisianthus are placed in glass water carriers. Rosehip branches, peacock feathers, golden fern leaf (silk), salmon pink Lagurus, Christmas ornaments, paper butterflies and graceful hummingbirds provide playful connection.
Chic Christmas wreath
This stylish wreath is presented on a wooden base with an artisan character. Attached to this is Oasis Renewal floral foam - a sturdy durable base with an elegant deep black color. On top of this, Decorum's Rose Lily is inserted in a graceful moon shape. The refined look of this special lily stands out beautifully against the contrasting black - the whole forms a chic, modern arrangement that shows craftsmanship.
Christmas, feast of light
Just when the days are shortening, floral designers can add warmth, glow and a festive touch to interiors with their arrangements. Handcrafted creations, natural materials and playful accents in wine red, bronze, gold or surprising black link an individual story to every room. Family and friends gather around the table, floral creations bring warmth and coziness. In the darkest time of the year, Christmas is rightfully the feast of light.
