Persian elegance

A spang, or one-piece necklace, is completely covered with the purple bell-shaped flowers of twenty branches of Fritillaria persica, the Persian imperial crown. Together, the delicate bell flowers form an almost graphic pattern. The unique and elegant necklace adds a stylish touch to any wedding dress.

'Mono is trending. The more pure, the more beautiful'

'My love for flowers started when I was a little girl,' says florist Claire van der Velden. 'That passion has brought me to where I am today. After years of experience as a manager and running my own store in Delft, I found my passion in bridal floristry by creating unique creations for the most special day in life: the wedding. This has since grown into Beyond Blossom with which we go one step further. Beyond Blossom gives me the opportunity to make my dreams come true: putting together wedding designs that are not only beautiful, but also unique and personal.'

'I draw inspiration from my travels to Kenya, Thailand and Sri Lanka, among other places. My style is playful and generous. I also like to work with rare and unusual flowers. Besides bows, mono arrangements are trend for bridal work in 2025, the more pure, the more beautiful.'

Love Drinks

The base for this bridal bouquet is an Oasis bridy bridal bouquet holder. Stitch technique was used. The flowers chosen are Clematis, Lathyrus, Viburnum and Stephanotis bridal flower tendrils in shades of cream and lilac. Together with the fine texture of Talinum 'Long John' it becomes a graceful and refined arrangement of love vines.

'Flowers are an experience'

'Nothing beats the beauty of flowers in their purest form,' states floral designer Johan Martens. 'As a floral designer, I see daily how powerful and expressive flowers can be. For years I have been working for companies at home and abroad, where I lovingly and diligently create floral creations that touch, surprise and connect.'

'My style is recognizable for combining decorative forms with natural lines and textures of plants. No excess, but rather the power of simplicity and respect for the natural growth of each flower or branch. That balance creates arrangements that breathe. Sometimes they are playful, sometimes subdued, but always in harmony with the environment and with the moment.'

'The greatest pleasure in my profession? Making people happy, especially at special and emotional moments like a wedding, where flowers often say more than a thousand words. Each creation is unique, tailored to the people and their story. Flowers are not a decoration, they are an experience.'

Circle of Life

A sophisticated and meaningful arrangement constructed in an elegant gold-colored circle that symbolizes the infinite cycle of life. In creating this arrangement, bindwire, wire and cold glue were used to attach the materials in a subtle and careful manner. The flowers used - waxflower (Chamelaucium uncinatum), Tillandsia, Helleborus, Rhipsalis and Chrysanthemum - make it a harmonious arrangement with a contemporary romantic look.

Lively

The base of the bridal arrangement is a metal ring, symbolizing unity and connection. The ring is completely turned up with various plant materials, creating a natural and playful texture. The materials are carefully attached with wire, binding and gluing techniques. Chrysanthemum, Scabiosa, Sandersonia, Phalaenopsis and Gloriosa, among others, complemented by beautifully drawn Begonia leaves and a waterfall of tendrils of Ceropegia woodii, have been incorporated into a vibrant whole that is beautifully balanced.
