Contemporary Venue Design


This design was created for Definitions, a hair dressers in South Cave. The black and white theme was chosen to match the salons contemporary decor. Gerbera, mini Anthurium and Black Tie leaves were used. The designs structure was created with black twigs, some of which were wrapped in white wool and bullion wire.

 
Adding a contemporary touch with curled medalino sticks and pearls and leaf manipulation of the Black Tie leaves.

Black cable ties secured the sea horse test tubes to the structure.

The finished design placed on a mirrored plate at the venue.

Christmas Poinsettia with Blue Spruce Collar


This Christmas design uses a hand-made wire frame to create a collar that fits perfectly around the Poinsettia. Small pieces of Blue Spruce are threaded through the framework to create a very seasonal design.

Cinnamon covered pine cones and dried lotus seed heads add the final Christmas touches to the design.

European Inspired Linea Design


A modern and stylish European inspired linear design which features elegant 'green eye' Roses, trailing Amaranthus, Ilex, a green Anthurium leaf, twisted Hazel and green twigs.

The design incorporates a great contrast in colours, shapes and textures.

Bird Nest Inspired Arrangements


A powerful but simple design. Quick and easy to make. Materials used include a single large Protea, Craspedia, Beargrass and flat red medalino sticks.

Circles are created by bending the Beargrass and red medalino.

This birds nest arrangement is much more angluar and features Strelitzia, Craspedia, Steel Grass and orange medalino sticks.

The angluar patterns are created by snapping the steel grass and medalino. This design demonstrates great use of space and colour in modern floristry design.
