Special
In this arrangement, a structure made of insulation tubing, wire, and tape provides a unique base. The structure is covered with Oasis Terra Brick, creating a natural effect. Two sizes of Oasis Biolit Bio Bowl are attached to it. Geertje then arranged warm, colorful flowers at various heights in the Oasis, including Rosa ‘Vuvuzela’, Lilium ‘Fairy Morning’, Chrysanthemum ‘Kalimba Salmon’, Ammi majus ‘Green Mist’, and Chasmanthium.
Fragile
Two small logs are attached beneath a beautiful branch. Holes were then drilled into the logs, through which wire was threaded. The wires are bent upward and serve as a base for attaching the tubes. At the top, round wooden discs are strung on an aluminum wire and secured to the top. Beautiful, delicate flowers have been arranged in the tubes. Materials used include Clematis ‘Amazing Miami,’ Veronica ‘Fascination,’ and Chasmanthium.
Pastel Wreath
This black, open wreath made of Oasis is lined with wax paper and
and then filled with pieces of Oasis Renewal Bricks. Pastel-colored flowers have been arranged within it, which complement the color of the paper beautifully. Loved ones can write a text or message on the pieces of handmade paper, which are then clamped between the wax paper. This arrangement is completely biodegradable. Materials used include Ammi majus ‘Green Mist’, Clematis ‘Amazing Miami’, Dahlia ‘Café au Lait’, Gerbera, Scabiosa caucasica, Chasmanthium, and Chrysanthemum ‘Kalimba Salmon’.
Golden Keepsake Mold
The unusual cushion shape is constructed from Oasis SEC blocks and spray-painted gold. Crumbs of dried Craspedia are glued to the base and secured with a layer of veneer. This protective layer prevents the surface from transferring color and makes the base resistant to light impacts. As a result, the base can be reused more often. The flowers are glued directly onto the form: various small-flowered chrysanthemums form the compact base, with orchids and Gloriosa serving as accents. This technique results in a sleekly finished funeral arrangement with a distinct surface texture.
Wreath of Infinity
Dried seeds have been glued onto a homemade wreath made of Oasis SEC blocks. This long-lasting base can be prepared in advance and reused. Wet bio-floral foam is placed in a cut-out slot, from which the flowers and other materials draw water. The compact floral wreath consists of various small-flowered chrysanthemums, complemented by orchids and Gloriosa. Vines of Ceropegia woodii break up the closed shape and add depth to the arrangement. Thanks to the combination of wet floral foam and long-lasting chrysanthemums, the funeral arrangement can be delivered several days before the funeral.
Heart with volume
The base of this large, freestanding heart is a 75-centimeter form made of Oasis BIO floral foam. The wooden stand is spray-painted rose gold, so that even the back looks neat when the funeral arrangement is displayed freestanding in the room. Instead of arranging the flowers flat against the base, Hanneke built up the front in three dimensions. While this requires more attention during the initial arrangement, it results in a fuller silhouette and a distinctly three-dimensional effect. The fully finished base and the arrangement’s volume make the heart suitable for display from various angles.
