It is his goal to tell a story with every floral creation, and he wants to inspire customers to do the same, using the wonderful world of flowers.
Create a floral still life yourself
Just like painters, florists have their signatures. So do you! And the beauty of this flower still life is that you can turn it into an authentic showpiece that's entirely to your taste. Will you choose flowers in bright colors, or will you keep it quiet and serene? And do you make a still life for yourself, or do you dedicate it to someone you love? As Alexander says: "Everyone can make a still life. It is all about the story you want to tell and the moment you want to tell it.
What you need for a floral still life
- Biodegradable floral foam (oasis)
- Flat moss
- A vase or pot that matches the still life you have in mind
- Flowers of your choice with long stems, such as hydrangea, dahlia, tulip, eremurus, sandersonia, gloriosa, wisteria, sunflower, and peony
- Flowers of your choice with stems that are sturdy and easy to cut short, such as chrysanthemum, rose, and rhododendron
