Stef Adriaenssens turns church of Alden Biesen into a cathedral

Stef Adriaenssens sees it every time as a challenge to surpass himself.
At Alden Biesen during the great flower arranging happening, he surely succeeded!

Together with a loyal group of his pupils he decorated the church at the domain of Alden Biesen this year richly with pink Lisianthus and pink and purple orchids.

In the church a construction was built of steel which had to be self supporting because it was not allowed to even put a nail into the antique walls.

At great height (12 mtrs) pieces were weld together and branches were attached to it to conceal the construction. In the branches small vases with water were tied and filled with the Lisianthus. The total construction weight about a ton!

Because the form of the church is so symmetric, Stef choose for an asymmetric design. Apart from the bow over the altar several other half bows were made in the church and the small altars were decorated with creations of orchids. With all these rich decorations the church got the allure of a cathedral!

The visitors looked with open mouth to so much beauty and glamour.
