fresh talk

Welcome to another issue of fresh and it’s full of wedding ideas.

Firstly we bring you Neil Whittaker who impressed

Australian florists when he toured here in 2007.

He gets us in the mood on page 3 with a wedding

proposal then his other designs can be located on

pages 14 and 15. Neil belongs to an elite group of

UK designers who have stood the test of time.

He definitely hasn’t run out of steam after thirty

years in the business and continues to push the

boundaries of design and technique. Being a natural

competitor makes Neil ambitious and focused when

he constantly challenges himself to produce truly

individual designs with impeccable style. His influence is evident everywhere in

the UK and he’s heavily sought after for professional floral demonstrations and

workshops like the ones we experienced here.

Neil has won numerous awards and when he isn’t jetting around the world he’s

happily working at The Design Element in Irlam, Manchester with his partner.

There they cater for a wide range of customers requesting signature designs or

weekly sympathy flowers and nothing is too small for

their specialist care.

David Denyer is similarly well known in the UK where

he has won five gold medals in competitions at the

RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

He is the lead designer

at Lansdowne Florist,

Bournemouth frequently giving

workshops, demonstrations

and consultancies. David’s

sense of fun and creative

signature designs wow

audiences so we hope that

you are similarly impressed with his work.

Unique collars surround his bouquets and some have

even been tapped with a magic wand. David uses our

brand new topiary stands to complete the wedding

sequence and demonstrates their suitability for

receptions. Narrow stems adorned with trailing Ivy and Morning Dew Drop lead to

a profusion of the latest bridal colours so see them in action on pages 16 and 17.

Don’t forget to catch up

with the latest Designz®

Cup winners on pages

10-13.

ProposalTHE

Set the wedding wheels in motion by surrounding a diamond ring with seductive petals.

Who could refuse? The design is perfect for Valentine’s Day or any other occasion that demands

a proposal and the Carmen Rose effect provides a perfect cushion for the ring. Diamond Pins will

keep the Rose petals secure while a coating of Waxflower over the rest of the floral

foam gives contrast. Insert Heart Shaped

Pins throughout for a final

flourish of romance.

It’s not obligatory for every

groomsman or usher to have the

same buttonhole.

In fact it shows imagination to have similar

flowers made into bespoke buttonholes for the

gentlemen at a wedding.

Individuality is the name of the game and

shown here are three gents’

buttonholes to put the wow back

into wearable designs.

There is profit in

buttonholes but particularly

when they can be constructed

in ten minutes.

David Denyer knows that unique bouquets require special sales skills.

Often brides are stuck in the

concept of the round Rose

style that they see in glossy

magazines so David gives

them other options. They

naturally want a bouquet to

complement their dress but

it should also stand the test

of time in photographs.

Showing examples of your own

bouquets is essential and the

best way is a professional portfolio

of bridal designs. Here David takes

the posy concept then wraps it in a

blushing stand up collar that accentuates

the ethereal beauty of the soft, white

flowers.

The bouquet is made on an OASIS® Grand

Lady with dancing Morning Dew Drops that

will gently move as the bride glides down the

aisle.

PastelsPowerful Soft seductive shades of pale are set to be the trend for

brides this year.

Here is a new take on the Rose posy using

creamy, pastel shades that put originality back

into the design. A beaded collar emphasizes

the beauty of the flowers that have been

inserted into an OASIS® Grande Straight

Handle. This bouquet holder has a slender

handle along with enough floral foam to keep

flowers looking fresh all day long.

BridesOnly the best for

Nothing beats a classic shower bouquet for elegance and style.

Add a twist of modern design plus the glimmer of cascading

Beads and it’s a bouquet made in heaven. Showing off your

floristry skills is essential and brides will expect to pay more

for quality and premier styling. Here’s how to make it.

Step 1

Soak the OASIS® Grande Straight

Handle Bouquet Holder in water

then drain any excess away. Start

by making the trail with the longest

flowers. Remove any lower flowers on

the Dendrobium stems and then make

a sharp clean diagonal cut at the

stem end. Push the stems firmly into the floral foam.

Step 2

Continue at the back and sides of the

bouquet holder to make the outline

with Fatsia leaves, Dendrobium buds

and Umbrella Fern. Use the whole

expanse of floral foam to ensure the

bouquet has a rounded profile. It’s

very important for security that the

stems are clean and cut diagonally for maximum anchorage

particularly around the perimeter of the bouquet. Place folded

Aspidistra leaves plus three Anthuriums into the centre of the

floral foam to start constructing the focal area.

Step 3

Tuck ‘Avalanche’ Roses into the

centre of the bouquet, again

pushing the stems firmly into the

floral foam. Note how the widest

part of the bouquet is at the focal

area. Add groups of Bouvardia

and then thread Beads and

Stephanotis onto Steel Grass to overlay the bouquet. Loop

the Steel Grass so that it criss-crosses the flowers to create

a domed layer. Once all the floral foam is concealed finish

the back of the bouquet holder with large leaves. Spray with

OASIS® Floralife® Finishing Touch for added longevity.

MagicalIt’s

Bridesmaids can only cast a lucky spell if they have a wand.

Wands are back in fashion and most of the construction can be made ahead of time using a

variety of OASIS® floral products. Flowers can be added on the day of the wedding and you don’t

have to be a wizard to follow our step-by-step guide to making this perfect bridesmaid design.

Aluminium Wire Beads Metallic Wire

OASIS® Floral Adhesive Parafilm

Step 1

Shape six leaf outlines with Aluminium

wire at the top of a long length of wire

that will form the handle. Bend the wire

leaves back into a horizontal position.

Place the wire leaves together to make a

posy shape.

Step 2

Use Metallic Wire to pinch and wire

together two locally available Bleached

Leaves that have been sprayed a colour

that will complement the bridesmaid’s

dress. Make about ten of these Leaf

groups. Place these around the edge

and centre of the wire leaves. Cover the

stems with Parafilm, pad out with wool

then add a topping of Metallic Wire.

Step 3

Add a small amount of glue to the

flower stems. Leave the glue for a few

minutes to go tacky and then tuck the

flowers into place between the Bleached

Leaves. Thread ivory Beads onto wool

and attach to the handle of the wand

then spray everything with glitter for a

stardust effect.

depicted dancers in

her Strictly Ballroom

design. Phalaenopsis

orchids were a focal

point for the surrounding

movement in Calla lilies,

hanging Amaranthus,

bronze Anthurium and

Cordyline leaves. Fabric fell

dramatically through the

separate tiers like a cloak

from the Spanish dance of

the Paso Doble.

“It’s very rewarding being

part of the process that

combines creativity

and flowers into an end

result that gives so much

pleasure,” said Adriana.

Bottom left: Finding Nemo

captivated Jessica Southers

so she included glass baubles

along with a fishing line in her

design. Carnations, Orchids,

Oyster Shells and Lipstick

Berry have been selected in

shades of pink, purple and

green for a harmonious result.

Left: The cycle of love was portrayed by Hisae Samuels in her

version of The Piano. The initial seed was visible in the Barley which

then blossomed into flowers. Driftwood and Seaweed symbolised

the sea journey undertaken by a woman and her piano.

Bronze net lightly covered with fine strands of glue created a

keyboard and also highlighted the flowing effect of Calla lilies,

Dancing Ladies and Barley. Brown colours graduated into yellow

then white to express pureness of feeling. “I enjoy being able to

create designs that spring from my emotions, feelings and life,” said Hisae.

Priscilla popped out of the desert and

down to Sydney for the Designz® Cup.

Anastasia Chartorisky has watched Priscilla Queen

of the Desert many times. She was inspired by the

spectacular costumes and especially those worn

during the desert performance for a local tribe. This

led to a headdress which is similarly unforgettable.

Fishbone fern weaves its

way through a profusion of

Roses, Gerbera, Asters and

Sweet William which keeps

the eye busy while Triple Head

Pearl Pins give glamour. The

OASIS® Designer Sheet was

perfect for the polka dots

on the dress and meant that

Anastasia could fill each dot

with a floral design. Aluminium

Wire kept them secure on

the mannequin with more

pins being used for further

decoration.

“The design I created for the

Designz® Cup shows just

how creative you can be with

flowers. People get to see the

fun side of floristry and that it

isn’t just about gift bunches or

mini boxes.”

“I love floristry as

it makes many people happy and

you can show your creative

side,” said Anastasia

Chartorisky.

Left: Isobel Neild was influenced by the

strength and hardship that Ned Kelly’s

helmet represents. This iconic image was

strategically placed. Several species of

Leucadendron and Banksia captured the

resilient landscape in the film based on

our Australian legend and starring Heath

Ledger.

Most of the flowers were placed into

a parallel design to reflect the vertical

palings of the fence that Isobel made

from scraps of wood. Soft unstructured

strands of Fountain Grass created

contrast and helped to make the design more

eye-catching. “I love the joy that flowers bring

to people and the endless possibilities of what

can be made using a little bit of creativity along

with what nature has already provided for you,”

said Isobel.

Right: It’s clear which Australian movie took Jessica

Howie’s fancy. The comedy in Kenny came through her

design when she fitted an OASIS® Wreath into a toilet

because its cardboard base and pop-out centre moulded

the bowl perfectly.

Jessica filled it with an explosion of yellow Roses while

more of them have been inserted into an OASIS® bouquet

holder to create a whimsical plunger. A puddle of petals and

bucket of cleaning products completed the design. “As this

was my first competition I wanted to have fun and hoped

people would share my sense of humour. I was happy

to hear people have a chuckle at my design during the

competition,” said Jessica.

“I enjoy being creative and seeing the joy that flowers bring

to all occasions. I am also enjoying learning this industry

which is new to me and it’s very exciting being on my way

to a new career.”

A pelican named Mr Percival

took out First Prize in

Brisbane.

He was impressive when he first

appeared in the Australian film Storm

Boy but also had an effect on Alan

they judged the following results:

The close bond between a child named

Storm Boy and Mr Percival has remained

with Rebecca Kerdel since she studied

the story in primary school. She enjoys

how the Australian coastal imagery is

so strong and raw in a film that conveys

such valuable lessons to the audience.

Use of and respect for the natural

environment reverberates throughout.

It encouraged Rebecca to honour the

shapes and forms that may be found in

all flowers and foliage by constructing

a diagonal design. Her layers created

depth. Real feathers in white, black and

grey accentuated the feathery feel of

Silver Leucadendrons, white Heath and

black Sedge.

Rebecca’s choice of native grasses

complements the Orchids and Old Man’s

Beard that may be found growing in the

Coorong where the film was set. Her

wooden pallets signified the ‘knocked-

together’ home where Storm Boy

lived and the pelican’s

head was fashioned out

of floral wire and wool.

OASIS® Floral Foam

supports the design

which was set into a tray

bound by OASIS® Jute

and covered with sand.

“I enjoy Floristry because it combines my two most favourite things: art and nature. I’ve always

appreciated elements such as colour, texture and line so being able to discover these within flowers and foliage is

amazing.

I love that I can work alongside nature and also push it to create beautiful

designs,” said Rebecca Kerdel.

How to make:

Step 1

Cover the box

with black

paper making

neat envelope

ends and

sealing with

OASIS® Floral Adhesive. Make a neat band

using a locally available non-woven wrap

and glue down the centre length of the box.

Place dark red cord lengthwise and then

across the width, one-third from the end of

the box. Fasten into position.

Step 2

Wet the

OASIS® Mini

Deco then

push it firmly

onto the

box and if

necessary for added security use OASIS®

Floral Adhesive. Cut small squares of non-

woven wrap and pinch them together to

form rosettes. Make seven of them using

green lacquered wire at the base to secure

each one.

Step 3

Add the rosettes

to form a frill

around the bottom

of the OASIS®

Mini Deco. Insert

trails of Hedera

into the floral foam to form an elongated shape

and cover any exposed floral foam with Hedera

leaves. Take Aluminium Wire and make three

swirls to encircle the design. Place one special

Rose into the centre. Cut the hearts from the

pins and glue one to the centre of the Rose then

decorate the box as desired with the remaining

heart shaped pins.

A dramatic floral statement should

await the guests at a wedding

reception. Often one large

arrangement has greater impact

and is more cost effective than

several small designs.

This design is made on the new versatile Topiary

Stand from Smithers-Oasis Australia Pty Ltd. It

rises above any table conversation leaving plenty of

space for the glasses of champagne below. Everyone

will enjoy a full view of the bridal party along with the floral

coated spheres that hover above their heads.

However topiaries like these deserve wider audiences and

exposure. While brides prepare for their weddings other girls are

getting ready for even bigger crowds. Four-legged super models will

look spectacular throughout the Spring racing carnival so why not

test out a stand in your favourite marquee. It won’t block the view.
