DIY | Perfect for a wedding
The flower cloud is a popular trend. This flower creation is often used as a table decoration for example, at weddings or other events. Our arranger Tessa has been busy and gives a number of useful tips!
Fresh flowers, or not?
"The nice thing about this creation is that there are all kinds of different materials to use," says Tessa . "If it happens to be for a wedding then different kinds of fresh flowers are suitable. But do you have any flowers left over in the store?. If so dry them and process them into a cloud of flowers. "
We don't often see such a beautiful and efficient eye-catcher: use flowers that would otherwise be thrown away and create a beautiful decoration.

Elegant grasses.
To create an airy arrangement it is important to use protruding and prominent materials. Think, for example, of elegant species such as the Pampas Grass.
Nice detail *. For these dried grasses, floral designer Tessa has even picked useful species from the roadside!
One last tip: "Provide a well-filled base of green, because making adjustments later is difficult. In addition, do not work too neatly. The wilder the creation, the more natural the effect. "
