Florist celebrates summer with Zentoo

Thursday 02 July 2020

Florist Hanneke Frankema received colourful spray chrysanths from Zentoo and immediately turned them into a happy summer arrangement. She poured the design into a DIY especially for the florists of ³ÉÈËÊÓÆµz. Where does she get her inspiration from and what technique does she like to use?

: ‘The different colours reminded me of a rainbow. This effect allows you to bring out the variation of the colours.’ The stunning Zentoo colours were the main source of inspiration for this arrangement.

Step 1

The chart is mostly built with floral foam. Hanneke: ‘I’ve cut them in halves, the more you use, the thicker the ring becomes.’ To build the chart, you can also use a wreath instead.

Step 2

‘The chrysanths are cut short and put in tightly’. Tip: As long as the oasis is kept wet, it won’t have a negative effect on the lasting of the flowers if you put them into the foam this way.

Step 3

‘The circle in the middle was created as follows: I used the binding technique and paper wire to secure the rustic wire. I applied this particular pin technique to all the materials that were used over the chrysanths. You can also use other materials for the inner circle, such as felt, bark, moss etc.’

Tips!

Hanneke says that these type of arrangements are very easy to make and long-lasting if the floral foam is kept wet. Her tip is to create one huge arrangement to draw people’s attention. Surround it with smaller versions, which will make perfect gifts. These will also sell quicker thanks to the presence of the big arrangement. This phenomenon is called satellite sales. Hanneke: ‘Remember to tell your customers that the design will keep for a very long time if they keep the flower foam wet!’
