Jacket of hay
Inspired by the countryside, the base of this arrangement, a half polystyrene sphere, is wrapped with hay and secured with gold wire. With the same gold wire, hay is wrapped around a stub wire into rolls with a pointed end. The gold wire provides a trendy and elegant touch. The hay rolls are attached to the half sphere with a stub wire. Oasis floral foam, pre-wrapped in plastic foil, is applied in the sphere. Hedera and jasmine form a green base between which colorful spring flowers are playfully arranged.
Play of lines
A rectangular wooden dish is filled with clay and covered with dried Tillandsia, which is secured with staples. Willow catkins (Salix) are inserted into the clay, then folded and also secured with the tip in the clay. The resulting tight shape has a beautiful interplay of lines; attention to the design is very important. Duck eggs are glued onto the construction with hot glue, alternating with small blue quail eggs. The duck eggs also act as water carriers, in which blue Muscari flowers are arranged.
Trendy spring
The spring trends Peach Perfect and Fluor Future are the foundation for this tightly bound bouquet with various flowers: spray rose Rosa ‘Azore’ and Rosa ‘Kahala’, small Craspedia spheres, Phalaenopsis flowers, Dianthus ‘Caramel’, and Eustoma ‘Alissa Light Apricot’. The fluorescent plastic circles are tied to aluminum wrapping wire, placed around the bouquet, and provide a fun, trendy 'disco' accent.
More with less
The inspiration for this bouquet is the theme of sustainability – how to create a lot of impact with few flowers. The base is a structure of fine branches: Salix and Chaenomeles japonica. Vertical branches are attached to two circles of fine Salix branches. When the branches are firmly interlocked and the structure remains stable, the fine flowers can be added: Craspedia, Gloriosa, French tulips, Sandersonia and leaves of Begonia maculata leaves. Then, the whole is placed in a flat gold-colored bowl with water.
High contrast
Faded grasses from the garden are tied into small bundles with fine bullion wire – for this arrangement, some 350 bundles have been inserted into a base of Oasis Sec floral foam. Centrally in this grass object, or table piece for Easter, glass tubes have been inserted into the floral foam and filled with spring flowers: Craspedia, French tulips, mimosa ‘Mirandol’, small-flowered daffodils and Ranunculus ‘Butterfly’.
A touch of sun
The mix of light-colored grasses and flowers in all shades of yellow, together with a soft and airy structure, ensures that this bouquet radiates energy and optimism. The base is a metal wreath on which fine grasses such as Stipa pennata and yellow hare tails (Lagurus) are bound. In the heart, a sheaf-bound bouquet with soft yellow Ranunculus, warm yellow spray roses, cream-green Helleborus, green-yellow Fritillaria, and sturdy yellow Craspedia.
