how to make it
This isn't necessarily the best floral arrangement for beginners, so if you don't have much experience with arranging flowers, ask if your florist can make one for you. This one was made by florist A.P Bloem from Amsterdam. Still want to do it yourself? Of course you can!
Cut the oasis into an oblong shape. Are you using Spaghnum moss? Then roll it in chicken wire and secure tightly. Water the shape so that it is sufficiently moist. After this, you can poke the stems of the flowers into the oasis/moss.
Make sure you have a nice distribution of colour, shape and height. Do you want to keep the shape very organic or very tight? Do you also stick in a Christmas bauble or two, and a spruce branch, or do you stick just to flowers?
Slowly but surely, the flower arrangement will take shape. Clear the table as much as possible so you can place the flower arrangement in the centre of the table. Wow! What a showstopper.
