Flower arrangements: alternative Advent wreath making

Advent wreath different views:

BASIC THOUGHT

Peace and quiet, a dull sheen that remains after the departure of summer and fall does our desire for brilliance and color, the period before Christmas is the run through the creative and playful of the following proposed table arrangement we give our living room has an extra dimension of celebration and longing.

Advent, which begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas is an important period of Christianity in the church year. Traditionally we decorate our interiors with an Advent wreath, the wreath that I proposal differs somewhat from the classic pattern but is strikingly beautiful and harmonious. In this alternative arrangement, the circular movements (infinity), the crown (a sign of warmth and hope litter) and the four lights (symbols of the four Sundays) back to a rather playful way. We anticipate using as many natural elements and green ditto most notably bolkaarsen 4. Although color is purple for Advent in the church liturgy, is the main tone of this settlement contrasting green and red.

This seating arrangement in a flat bowl is made according to the multi-point principle.

The moss will later cover the openings.

Place the candles, to taste, or not at the same level on the floral foam and draw some concentric circles in the oasis.
Cut the green at the same height and position type by type on the created circles. Place the same hollow, cut Polygonumstokken.

Place the decorative red apples (one red varieties: Profusion, Red sentinel, Red obelisk) and fill the hollow Polygonumstokken go with green.
The greater the color contrast the more lines and circular movements reflect.

Then insert the greenery, the hydrangea flowers, chestnuts (advance toothpicks or skewers inserted). Make that everything fits and that no more green floral foam can be seen.

Place the rest of the greenery, holly berries and homemade little bundle of ornamental grass to full-scale outlet. Place the moss.



Put on the edge of the dish kussentjesmos (moss or other) so that everything fits well and there are no more openings.
