Natural Heart
Twisted hazel branches form a heart, serving as a natural base for “Phlox van Marginpar” and dahlias. The surprising yet successful combination of materials makes this a very personal tribute.
Garland to wear
This portable floral arrangement exudes a distinct Scandinavian vibe. The garland is strung on wire and shaped to follow the backline of the dress, making it comfortable to wear. The fall color palette makes it perfect for a seasonal event or a personal farewell.
Wool Wreath
A large, wreath-shaped wire frame is covered with wool in a variety of textures. The autumn hues provide a warm backdrop for Cymbidium orchids, roses, Lisianthus, and Santini chrysanthemums. As a wall decoration, this design really stands out on a special occasion.
Like a ribbon
For this autumn-themed memorial arrangement, we chose an Oasis heart-shaped base and flowers that aren’t typically associated with funeral arrangements. Cluster roses, astrantia, jatropha, and amaryllis drape over the base like a ribbon.
Summer: Fitness and Technique
This issue of Floral Fundamentals focuses on experimentation. International floral designers demonstrate how materials, structure, and technique come together in a variety of summer designs—from open table arrangements and circular compositions to sophisticated bridal arrangements and wearable creations. Each design starts with a clear concept and shows how you can create a strong, distinctive look using seemingly simple elements.
Sunlight
Frèrejean combines her expertise as a florist with her background as a gardening enthusiast. She used seashells to conceal the water tubes, creating a structure reminiscent of a field bathed in sunlight.
