Study level 1 and 2

Style: Biedermeier style, classical with circles.

Description:

This Biedermeier arrangement is a classical shape. We create different layers. The layers are in a ring shape. We advise to have a good contrast between the rings to be sure you see them well. In this arrangement there is not a large central flower, but in stead a nice elegant bunch of grasses. Because of the simple choice of materials this arrangement is easy to create.

We need for this lesson:

• A low container.

• Oasis, 1 or 2 bread.

• Green for the lower circle, we used Asparagus virgatus.

• Hedera leaves to have more contrast on top of the wild Asparagus.

• Rosen bottles or other red materials.

• Material for a green circle, such as moss or conifer.

• Material for another red circle.

• Hedera berries.

• A last circle for example conifer or leaves or another flower.

• Grass or another elegant material.

Step by step:

1. We put the oasis in the container and give it the shape of a half globe form. The better you do this, the more easy it is to create perfect circles.
2. Put in the central flower first exactly in the middle, or use a stick for measuring. You can easy find out the middle of the arrangement and can create good circles.
3. Start with the lowest circle and build up one by one.
4. Finally you put in the central flower or elegant bundle grasses.

Materials used are: Asparagus virgatus, Hedera, Rosa, Celocia cristata, Ligustrum berries, mos, Rucbeckia nitida, Miscanthus.
