Seasonal
A generous bouquet symbolizes the transition from late summer to fall. Powerful branch structures combined with Rosa 'Corallo' branches, berries and full flower heads. The layered structure and rich color gradient make the bouquet a real eye-catcher for entrance or counter. The sculptural vase underlines the showstopper allure to welcome the new season already at the entrance. Materials used: blackthorn, hawthorn, rose hips, Heliopsis, Dahlia.
Pure texture
By mid-August, autumn is already in the air. The atmosphere is changing. It is moister, there is dew on the grass, you smell the earthy scent and there are lots of cobwebs in often unexpected places.
Bowl Bouquet
An impressive autumn bouquet with a brown frame, handmade vase, and flowers in mostly orange hues. The base is made using the chicken wire technique with 1.6mm florist wire. Young shoots of fruit trees, pruning waste from the garden and therefore free, are woven through this. Together with the wire, these form a kind of basket. Woody mossy branches that blew out of the trees in the garden after a heavy storm are also incorporated into the basket. This old dead wood is not only decorative but also technical: they lend themselves well to incorporating the Physalis seed pods between them. The seed pods are individually wired and joined together to form branches. Beautiful striking flowers are placed between all the branches: Celosia, Gloriosa, Zantedeschia, Guzmania, germinis, chrysanthemums, and beautiful accompanying materials such as Talinum, Hypericum, and Sanguisorba.
Twins
This set on two beautiful handmade bowls is arranged in bio-foam from Smithers Oasis. The bowls are also the starting point for the shape – continuing the shape of the surface in the floral work is always particularly powerful. All flowers and berries have been thoroughly cleaned. The leafless stems really participate decoratively in this story. The flower heads and berries are inserted in a kind of screen. Many chrysanthemums and also Hypericum berries are used: real autumn materials. Also discover the processed Astrantia, Scabiosa, Guzmania, Phalaenopsis and Dianthus.
Better together
A wonderful set of beautiful objects of which the base can easily be reused. The base is self-made from two decorative garden stakes in flower form – they were flat when purchased. The two stakes are drilled into the wooden blocks and unfolded to make them spatial. To create even more possibilities, thick aluminum wire is incorporated through and around it – so that tubes can easily be attached to it and flowers woven through it. Zantedeschia is perfect for weaving through the frame, with the stems also participating beautifully. Talinum ‘Long John’ is processed dry here – it always dries beautifully. Furthermore, Gloriosa, some orchids, and Scabiosa are beautifully in place in these autumn objects.
Stewed pears
The stewed pears that blew out of the tree after a heavy storm were given a new lease on life. The colors in the pears are beautiful and, together with the beautiful flower hues, form a lovely whole. The base is a wooden MDF board with small water tubes drilled into it. The board is spruced up with metallic spray paint from Smithers Oasis. For an extra accent, satin cord is glued around the edge of the disc. This object can be reused many times. The flowers used are Cambria orchids, lisianthus, chrysanthemums, dill, Scabiosa, and Phalaenopsis.
