Nature de luxe
The base of this creation is an Oasis ball raised with Abies procera (nobilis) branches. A light structure of branches of an apple tree is placed on the ball. Tillandsia xerographica along with the beautiful leaves of Alocasia 'Polly' play a leading role in the composition.
The structure is decorated of baubles, hanging crystal
pendants and silver ornaments
and some white Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium orchids. The silver glow of the materials used combines perfectly with the vase color and gives a luxurious look.
Christmas tradition
Underlying this pure arrangement are three very simple materials: winding wire, pine needles and Ilex berries. On a metal rod, ten bobbins of winding wire were kneaded into a beautiful shape. With the broad side down, the shape was placed on a bucket. One by one, Pinus pine needles were dipped in wood glue and then inserted into the structure - a labor-intensive job. Once finished, the form was inverted and mounted in a vase; a wealth of Ilex crenata berries was inserted in the center.
Elegance
An Oasis wreath (Ø 42cm) is completely covered with Icelandic moss (Cretaria islandica). Around it are Tillandsia xerographica whose leaves are pinned to the wreath with pins. The curly Tillandsia leaves provide movement while the small baubles give the wreath an extra festive touch. Candles in candle holders are pinned into the wreath.
Scarlet Christmas
For this table decoration, different sized spheres were made from natural materials. For this purpose, kraft paper, peat, straw and clay were mixed. A layer of kerosene makes them waterproof. Red Nerine 'Lydia', rose hips (Rosa corallo), Pinus branches and kiwi tendrils harmoniously connect the bulbs. The bulbs are presented on narrow shelves wrapped with kraft paper in the same color as the bulbs. Pine cones, Malus apples and red baubles bring an additional decorative element.
A touch of blue
Bird seeds were glued onto an Oasis Black Biolit Planting ring. To do this, the wreath was first lined with paper and tape. Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) branches lend the wreath a grand allure. Blueberries are complemented by frosted blue baubles. The wreath is filled with an Oasis Bio Ring into which Cedrus branches are inserted. The copper-colored Cymbidium (in water tubes) match the seeds on the wreath. The unusual orange powdered cedar (Scadoxus) and the Zygopetalum and Dendrobium orchids provide color, but also enhance the exotic aspect of the wreath. A pair of Cedrus pine cones connect the seed wreath to the blackthorn branches.
Xmas Fantasy
Pine cones and vases have been expanded with winding wire into sinuous shapes around which Abies procera (nobilis) green has been wrapped with winding wire and then copper wire. They form the basis of this imaginative table decoration. Leucadendron flowers are sandwiched in water tubes in the structure and look like luminous chalice-shaped lights in the whole. Fruits of the date tree (Phoenix dactylifera) decorate the bountiful table and climb up the winter branches. Shiny and matte blue baubles provide contrast. Special Tillandsia accents complete the look.
