Lisianthus Structure & Balance | Zero Waste & Thoughtful Floral Design | Max van de Sluis Tutorial

Hello, I am Max from Holland. I'm going to make a bouquet today with Lysianthus. And I will use it for a structure made of Clematis. It is a nice, thin wine. And I'll tackle it with a paper cutter. And I start with the smallest part to make it into a small circle. We take the enemy on both sides. And I'll take care of it. One, two, three, four times. I will do this at several locations. So later I can keep adding more and more. So that we can obtain a very nice disc of this Clematis enemy. Here it is. Now we have finished the structure. And you can see that we've been working right over the surface. But at the end, I also placed some extra enemies on top. So that I can play a bit more with my Lysianthus in the center. I also use this paper file, as you can see, because of the color. Because it has the same color, but later becomes more or less indistinct. I have a beautiful Lysianthus here. And what you see now are flowers with a different tone of color in another phase. But you can also hear the voice here. All the flowers are green. If I keep my flowers at the front of my structure, Do you see that the flowers maintain their beautiful structure? But the color also faded. What happens if I remove all the flowers? I'm removing the green one. Like in a painting. In a painting, you don't always need the green color either. Thus, without the green color, I enhance the hue of the Lysianthus. I'm giving it even more power. And they last longer. Because all the energy is now going toward the flowers I want to use. And now you see the difference. With the color, the Lysianthus, and the structure. What is very important. It is very important to work cleanly. He cleaned the table and selected all the flowers. In length and in another phase of open flowers. Now I can later perfectly and very quickly select the white flower for the white spot. It is important that when you start working, you are organized. have a good overview and work cleanly. You will see that it will greatly help you in your design process. Now I have my structure. The voices also form a beautiful spiral. Now I can put my flowers in it. When I see this entire structure, I can completely hide it with flowers. But it will be a real one. It will be painful for the beautiful structure I have. It also doesn't display the correct value for my beautiful Lysianthus. When I make a balance between the structure and the Lysianthus. Both will gain more strength and become more beautiful. Now I can easily add the flowers in the position I want. Due to the structure, I can place my flowers between the gaps. Then they hang down. Then I can easily place them in the correct position where I need them. In this way, it works very easily. The only thing you need to do is constantly work with the spiral, so that all the flowers are facing the right direction. In this way, I can keep adding more flowers. Everything will be in the correct position later. Even when I make my bouquets, I don't put pressure on my voices. I only hold my bouquets with two fingers. Not with the whole hand. I'm not putting any pressure. Everything must be light so that I don't harm my flowers. My voice isn't warming up, and everything is going easily. Right now you can already see what happens when you work with the structure. The open spaces in my structure have the same value as the spot where I use my flowers. As you can also see when I talk about colors, I'm not taking very dark brown glides, but a bit of purple. Thus, the purple feeling I have in my clematis is also present in my sliding doors. So I'm making a color combination, perfect, with my sliders and with my structure. All aspects are important and you must reflect on them. When you buy your flowers and your materials, everything. Everything has something to say. Every decision instantly changes your entire design. You see, I can place in-between flowers wherever I want. As I already said earlier, since I remove the smallest flowers, I am cutting the flowers. The skis will remain longer than usual. Thus, a very strong, long-lasting bouquet is created. Maybe it's already more of an arrangement than a bouquet. Sometimes, when you insert the flower, it's difficult to reach the small hole. What you must do is use the flower's voice exactly as it wishes. You have to turn it a bit, so it can find its way. And then you don't need to use any strength. If you have to use force, it won't work out well. Because then something is wrong. Therefore, never use force when making a bouquet. All the time, find the good and easy way. You can see it too; sometimes I arrange the flowers together in clusters. Sometimes apart in the middle. That also makes it interesting. If you place the flowers equally everywhere at the same distance, by the same majority, and the bouquet becomes difficult and looks too artificial. Here is my little bouquet with purple-pink glissants. I'm putting it in a convenient container with water now. And he is standing well on the table. Empty from the side. Even more beautiful from above. Work only with one botanical material. And this is the magnificent gliding and sandy ridge climate. Thank you very much, and I hope you follow. I'll see you next time. Goodbye.
