Personality

Aluminum wires are tied to a wooden base. These are knotted in a star shape with Cornus branches in between. A base of glued white hyacinth nails is made from the center – these extend over the entire frame. Flowers of Clematis Amazing Kansas are glued onto the frame.

Transparent

First, a transparent base was woven from 1.4 mm wire for this transparent floral arrangement. This was then sprayed in a beautiful green color. A base of Chasmanthium latifolium 'Mantis' is glued onto this. Finally, Tanacetum parthenium 'Vegmo Single' is incorporated. This cheerful addition gives the whole a positive natural look.

'Compared to nature, I remain a student'

‘Inspiration is everywhere,’ says floral designer Max van de Sluis, ‘but for me, nature remains the most important source. If you look closely, you can learn so much from nature. Not only how plants grow and bloom, but also about their lines, about transparency, or the lack thereof. But above all, you can find special color combinations in nature, often unexpected but actually always in a certain harmony.’

‘You sometimes see flowers in multiple together, but also in a solitary group. I then try to capture and isolate this emotion, sometimes to perfect it. But in the end, I remain a student in relation to nature – no matter how hard I try.’

‘I also use all this inspiration for my bridal work. I often apply it in small portions, for example, in the combinations of form and material or natural movements. All this with the aim of making the bride even more beautiful and completing this special day.’

Simplicity

This hand-tied bridal bouquet contains a multitude of beautiful flowers. The base is the very special Gypsophila 'Million Daisy', to which Anemone, Ranunculus, Eryngium 'Sirius Questar', Chasmanthium, and Clematis Amazing Kansas have been added.

Waterfall

A base of floral foam in a convex disc shape is filled with Gypsophila Xlence with Astrantia ‘Billion Star’ in between. Delphinium ‘Guardian Lavender is both inserted and knotted into long garlands, creating an elegant cascading waterfall effect.

Shining star

At every wedding, the bride is the radiant star. She is the most beautiful of the day, with festive clothing, a beautiful hairstyle and make-up, and with flowers that seem to tell the story of a long and happy marriage.
