Six ways to build with flowers

From orchid webs hung between columns to a single pine branch on still water. Each collection follows one idea about how flowers can be shaped, held and shown.

Orchid Web: white phalaenopsis orchids, dendrobium orchids, green amaranthus

4 pieces

Spun and Suspended

Flowers lifted off the table: webs, clouds and chandeliers hung from wire, line and frame.

Equinox Ring: deep red roses, peach roses, white lisianthus, birch twigs

4 pieces

Sculpted Forms

Competition-stage structures where the frame matters as much as the flowers.

4 pieces

Line and Space

Few stems, a lot of air. Arrangements built on the angle of a branch and the empty space around it.

After the Masters: parrot tulips, peonies, fritillaria, garden roses, hellebores

4 pieces

Still Life

Full, dark and painterly arrangements in the spirit of the old flower painters.

English Border: foxgloves, delphiniums, garden roses, alchemilla

4 pieces

Garden and Wild

Loose, seasonal arrangements that look as if they were cut and carried straight in.

Long Table: white roses, white ranunculus, olive branches

4 pieces

Tables and Ceremonies

Large event work: long tables, arches, aisles and flowers made to be worn.

Every piece in this gallery is a digital design study made for Spinning Web Florist. The photographs on the competition pages are real event photos, credited to the people who took them.
