Reflection
A considerable number of rolled Magnolia leaves, with the velvety brown side facing outwards, are connected to each other using cocktail sticks. These rolls are used to fill an aluminum bowl in a similar brownish tint. Within this arrangement, the flowers of Clematis Amazing Sevilla are incorporated in a mirror image of the bowl. Note also the mirroring of the shape and color of the Magnolia rolls in the flower buds and petals.
Through and through Clematis
A bouquet consisting solely of Clematis. The circular frame is knotted and braided in a spiral motion from Clematis vines. Clematis Amazing Tokyo is incorporated over and through it in a wreath shape.
Summer! Party!
For the base of this arrangement, an old Calocephalus brownii is sprayed in a bronze color and placed on a bronze-colored pot. White peacock feathers, Solomon's seal (Polygonatum), grasses and, slightly lower, beautiful Paeonia 'Claire de Lune' are applied, widely 'fanning out' from the base. The structure of Calocephalus fixes the plastic tubes with flowers well and invisibly. This impressive arrangement full of air and light is a real eye-catcher for a summer party!
Summer cocktail
In two tall black vases, long colored straws are placed, between which beautiful summer flowers, columbine and Monarda, Tagetes and sunflowers, are arranged at various heights. A single beautiful deep red branch of Berberis connects the flowers with the black vases.
Tenderness with zest
An Oasis sphere rests on a beautiful soft pink vase. For stability, a tonkin stick is inserted into the sphere down into the water-filled vase. A border of grasses is attached around the top edge of the vase with double-sided Oasis tape, which is then finished with ribbon in a matching shade. Solomon's seal (Polygonatum), Paeonia ‘Claire de Lune’ and yellow dill (Anethum graveolens) are then inserted into the Oasis sphere at different heights. Nostalgic dandelions and dandelion seed heads add that extra bit of spice and tenderness to the soft color palette.
Catchy blue
The use of a Kenzan ring is extremely durable. Start with the thinner stems and clamp them, as it were, between the pins. Then work towards increasingly thicker stems. Cut the ends of the stems straight with very sharp (Ikebana) flower shears so that you can get the most force out of the clamping. Materials used: Delphinium and Clematis. Chasmantium latifolium grasses and Sorghum complete the arrangement.
