Floral cushion
With paper coffee filters, a structure has been realized that gives the impression of a large and soft cushion. Water tubes with flowers of Clematis 'Amazing Tokyo', tendrils of Ceropegia woodii and Alocasia 'Polly' leaf are evenly attached in this. The paper structure also has a lot of effect with relatively few flowers.
On a bed of clay
For the base, a clay foundation was created, which cracked upon drying, resulting in a weathered appearance. A light structure was bound with iron wire and wrapped with Oasis bindwire. Water tubes, partially wrapped with bindwire, are attached to this structure. After securing the structure in the clay, a floral display is created using robust Jatropha 'Firecracker', mini Anthurium, and Begonia leaves, combined with delicate Gloriosa superba 'Simba Fifty Shades'. Typha grass provides connection.
Heartwarming embrace
The dried leaf of the Strelitzia is tied around an Oasis wreath, which ensures a firm embrace of the red heart. This center of warm red flowers consists of Hydrangea ‘Ruby Red’, Rosa ‘Ducati’ and Scabiosa ‘Dark Cherry’. Playful twigs of Talinum paniculatum ‘Long John’ bring some lightness and refinement to the composition.
Translation of memories
Funeral flower arrangements come in many forms. But what is and remains important is a personal touch. Who the deceased was, and what he meant to his loved ones can be expressed very beautifully with flowers and symbolism.
Floating heart
A floating arrangement is very suitable for an ash scattering on the water, but also for a memorial service on the waterfront. To make the arrangement ‘float’, Oasis Sec blocks are attached under the wooden disc. Then holes were drilled in the wooden disc in the shape of a heart. A warm color palette of botanical materials has been placed in the holes. The materials ‘float’ above the wooden disc and drink their moisture directly from the surface water. Botanical materials: Astrantia, Chrysanthemum, Crocosmia, Dahlia, Heliopsis, lisianthus, Scabiosa and Zinnia.
Embrace
For the base of this arrangement, pieces of reed pith are glued parallel to each other with wood glue onto a cardboard circle. In the center, a bowl with Oasis Bio floral foam is placed and attached to the circle. The space where the urn will be placed is marked, after which the flowers are arranged around the urn at different heights and in different groups, as an embrace. Flowers and greenery used: Dahlia, Rosa, Daucus, Sandersonia, Ornithogalum, Oenothera (evening primrose), Centaurea (cornflower), and Asparagus plumosus.
