Luxury in harmony with nature
In the theme Luxury in harmony with nature, connection with nature plays a leading role. The arrangers have chosen mostly traditional techniques and natural materials. The appearance is that of grandeur and exclusivity. Festive yet understated. Serene but also cozy and warm.
Winter Challenge
To move from the colorful fall to winter is a different mindset for many people. Not that the colors completely disappear from the landscape, but it's all a bit more subtle and monochromatic. For florists, especially those who want to work more sustainably, that can be a challenge. Getting into the shell of nature, the bare branches with larch or pine cones, the evergreen greenery, mosses and dried tendrils - it takes some adjusting.
Farewell with flowers: latest trends
With farewell flower arrangements, a florist can create significant added value during a funeral. On the initiative of VBW, Smithers-Oasis and Groothandelscentrum Plantion, the Funeral Event was held in Ede on March 5. During the event the focus was on various new trends that are playing in the funeral world. For example, the natural burial ground is on the rise, coffins are increasingly taking the place of traditional coffins and there is increasing demand for urn decorations.
