Along the waterfront
Dried sunflower stems are the basis of this beautifully narrow and tall construction. The dried Typha cigars form the height of this summery arrangement. Flowers in blue tones, Centaurea, Delphinium, Scabiosa and Clematis ‘Star River’, together with the fresh green grasses, form an atmospheric 'along the waterfront' scene.
Whirlwind
A twisted frame of Akebia vines is fixed with the aid of a kenzan ring and placed in a beautiful bowl. Dicentra, Euphorbia and Allium flowers are placed in a twisted shape between them.
'Follow your feeling, make a translation'
Florist Sjacco Gerritsen is happy about the summer. 'The theme summer is great! When winter is over and spring begins, everything blossoms and colors come to life; that makes you happy, doesn't it?'
‘Summer is a busy, lively time for nature when everything is at its most powerful. Bright, saturated colors, warm and vibrant. The summer theme has a lot to offer; it is the time of outdoor living, conviviality and leisure.’
‘I mainly get my inspiration from nature, there are so many beautiful shapes, colors, and scents. Let nature influence you. Look around you and you will see beautiful fields with extending green grass, among which you can discover more and more flowering flowers. Isn't that happiness?’
‘In my arrangements, I only use seasonal flowers. I don't have a specific preference, but wild flowers, grasses, and sprawling branches make me very happy. Trends? Above all, do what makes you happy, whether it's trendy or not. What I often do is mix everything together in all colors, or just use that one branch or flower. Follow your feelings and make a translation.’
Layered contrast
A base has been created in an ascending shape with 'bowty twig' branches. The flowers inserted between the twigs add their own accent: the graceful grassy character of Chasmanthium and the refined elegance of Triteleia form a fascinating contrast and layering. The pink Freesia picks up the cool tones and adds a warm touch to the whole.
Character Heart
A sustainable BIO Oasis heart shape is divided into two contrasting halves, giving the whole a striking and modern look. One side is decorated with robust driftwood, which provides a natural look. The other half of the heart is richly filled with Rosa ‘La Paloma’. Delicate orchids break the clean lines and create a playful effect. A powerful and elegant arrangement, suitable for various occasions.
Seashell wreath
A BIO wreath from Oasis forms the sustainable base. On top of this is a straw wreath that is completely covered with shells, carefully stacked for a playful and natural effect. Shells (on sticks) are also incorporated between the flowers. The addition of pink Rosa ‘Star Trek’, Achillea, Eustoma, Gerbera and Freesia makes this arrangement a harmonious whole.
