IPBI DPC Bandung Monthly Gathering: A Flower Decoration Demo for Easter

Hi All, long time no see, hope you guys are all ok.

Since we’re nearing Easter (wow time does fly so fast) as usual we’ll give you some ideas for flower decorations. Unlike last year’s Easter flower demo which full of serious theme arrangements, this year’s flower arrangements are more casual. A little bit taking much time for the structure but quite simple for the flower arranging. As we all know that Easter is always identical with eggs, that’s why Mrs. Ida Hermanto and Mrs. Kitty Catharina, the floral designers this time, use decorative eggs on their design, even the last one use a bunny head miniature on her design. She said that once upon the time, it is said the first animal to came out after the winter ends is rabbit.  Whether it is true or not, we don't know. However, the adding of those accessories have made the flower arrangement look more beautiful and really typical Easter.

And if you imagine the floral arrangement for Easter should be white, yellow, orange and purple, forget it!! That's the old opinion, now it's more colorful. You can use any color you like, just like the following image shown:

And here’s a sneak peek on the first session. Look at the nest made from natural sisal mesh and also the colourful eggs on top. Those eggs were made by Mrs Ida's child. Gorgeous!!

The finished look, this flower arrangement used grouping, basing, terracing and sheltering techniques. For the complete step by step tutorial, you can view them here.

For the beginners who would like to try this flower arrangement, we must remind it in advance that it's quite expensive since it needs a lot of materials. It's more suitable for commercial flowers hamper for Easter.

And the second session to perform the demo is Mrs. Kitty Catharina. Most of the materials she used here are flowers and foliage taken from her garden. So, who said garden flowers can't be beautifully arranged? This one proves it! 

For the complete step by step tutorial, you can view them here.

The detailed look seen from above. The bunny head miniature looks cute, right?

About 71 members were present at the last monthly gathering of IPBI DPC Bandung. And by voting, Mrs. Ling Ling was elected as the chairwoman for the period 2013 - 2016. Congratulation!!!

2 in 1 Natural Bird Nest Wedding Ring Pillow and Bible Tray

Our next item will still be a wedding ring nest, but this time they come in a package with the Bible tray. You see, we’ve heard and read all the time how people think that wedding accessories are just a temporary thing that will end up dusted in your storage loft once the wedding is done. So we tried to make a wedding ring nest that’s not too cheesy and can be used as home décor like our glamorous pink bird wedding ring nest and charming purple wedding ring nest.

On this 2 in 1 wedding ring nest and bible tray, both the two if put together will become a box that can be used as storage after the wedding is done. The box itself made of unpolished woven bamboo which can flow natural air...

On close-up, your wedding rings will be held by the natural fiber rope, watched by the birds of course… This time, we use multicoloured birds that looks similar with the real one so the whole nest and birds look natural.

This is how the tray will look with the Bible, cross and rosary in it, and the picture on the bottom shows how the tray and wedding ring nest look side by side.

After the wedding, the bamboo box can be used as a multipurpose storage for your stationaries or knick knacks. So you’re really not wasting any money on this wedding ring pillow.  If you’re interested, this lovely ring pillow and bible tray can be bought at our shop at www.floplus.com.

New Wedding Ring Pillow : The Charming Purple Wedding Ring Nest

And now we will introduce yet another wedding ring nest, this time with a bit of purple on it! Just look at the picture above, this is a wedding ring nest with a bird couple that will carry your wedding rings on their beaks, it’s so unique!! This time we made the birds more down to earth... I mean down to nest actually hahaha… if on the first wedding ring nest the birds perched on twigs, this time the birds sit on the nest.

A bit detail view from the front… except of the yellow carnation flowers, most of the materials are natural. We use real twigs and stems  for the nest, pine cones, grains of wheat, feathers and natural fiber. The orange and the tiny white swamp flowers are also natural materials.

This is how the ring nest looked from above

And here’s the close-up on the birds, a bit different from the pink bird nest, these purple bird couples looked at each other affectionately while carrying your wedding rings … so sweet…. This wedding ring nest is very affordable, not to mention very unique also. For pricing detail, just visit our shop at www.floplus.com

Pheew, maybe some of you wonder why we didn’t blog much these last few days, well, it’s because we’re preparing a series of birds nest ring pillow and flower arrangements so not much time for blogging… In this collection,  our main inspiration is birds and their nests. We’re using birds miniatures in different shapes and colours, I really hope you’ll like it, so here we go :

Okay, our first collection is a glamorous ring nest in pink tone. There’s of course the nest , filled with a small bouquet of pink roses and pinecones. The couple of birds with their long tails perched on the twigs and each of them will carry your wedding ring individually… No ribbons needed, since all you have to do is slid your wedding rings on the hooks at the beaks.

This is the view from the side, no matter the side, they’re still cute. Even after the wedding, this bird nest will be a great decoration when put on your rack or console table…. and if you have a simple tall white ceramic vase, you can put the nest on it, then place it on the corner table ... voila it looks glamorous n luxurious.

Flower Box

After introducing you a love tin in the last post, now we are using a small box as a vase. It is a floral design in a small box and we call it a flower box. Don’t use big box, it won’t be cute but neither do too small. The perfect size is ± 11 – 12  cm. It fits with your hands and light weight. Also do not use fresh flowers but artificial flowers instead. 

You can combine with artificial fruits to get more interesting look. Just arrange the artificial flowers and fruit as usual. It’s unique, isn’t it?
