Nature de luxe
The base of this creation is an Oasis sphere decorated with Abies procera (nobilis) branches. A light structure of apple tree branches has been placed on the ball. Tillandsia xerographica plays a leading role in the composition together with the beautiful leaf of the Alocasia 'Polly'.
The structure is decorated with Christmas balls, 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
Three very simple materials underlie this pure arrangement: wrapping wire, pine needles and Ilex berries. Ten spools of wrapping wire have been kneaded into a beautiful shape on a metal rod. The shape is placed on a bucket with the wide side down. One by one, the Pinus pine needles are dipped in wood glue and then inserted into the structure – a labor-intensive job. Once finished, the shape is turned over and attached to a vase, and a wealth of Ilex crenata berries is inserted in the middle.
Elegance
An Oasis wreath (Ø 42cm) is completely covered with Icelandic moss (Cretaria islandica). Around that Tillandsia xerographica, the leaves of which are pinned to the wreath. The curly Tillandsia leaf provides movement, while the small Christmas baubles give the wreath an extra festive touch. The candles in candle holders are pricked into the wreath.
Scarlet Christmas
For this table decoration, various sizes of spheres were made from natural materials. For this purpose, kraft paper, peat, straw, and clay were mixed. A layer of paraffin makes them waterproof. Red Nerine 'Lydia', rosehips (Rosa corallo), Pinus branches, and kiwi vines connect the spheres in a harmonious way. The spheres are presented on narrow planks wrapped with kraft paper in the same color as the spheres. Pine cones, Malus apples, and red Christmas balls bring an extra decorative element.
A touch of blue
Bird seeds are glued onto an Oasis Black Biolit Planting ring. For this, the wreath is first covered with paper and tape. Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) branches give the wreath a grand allure. The blue berries are complemented by matte-gloss blue Christmas baubles. The wreath is filled with an Oasis Bio Ring in which Cedrus branches are inserted. The copper-colored Cymbidium (in water tubes) match the seeds on the wreath. The special orange powder brush (Scadoxus) and the Zygopetalum and Dendrobium orchids provide color, but also enhance the exotic aspect of the wreath. A few Cedrus pine cones connect the seed wreath with the blackthorn branches.
Xmas Fantasy
Pine cones and vases are extended into winding shapes with binding wire, around which Abies procera (nobilis) green is wrapped with binding wire and then with copper wire. They form the basis of this imaginative table decoration. The Leucadendron flowers are clamped in water tubes in the structure and resemble luminous chalice-shaped lamps in the whole arrangement. Fruits of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) decorate the richly filled table and climb up into the winter branches. Shiny and matte blue Christmas baubles provide contrast. Special Tillandsia accents complete the arrangement.
