Off to floristry class again today, it had to happen at some point, and today was it - we did a funeral arrangement. Part of me has been dreading it, but I have to be realistic, funerals do make up a large portion of a florists work, so I have to be able to understand and undertake them. Sue had tried to make the tribute as adaptable as possible, so we could use them at home if we choose to, but I have put mine outside in Nelson's favourite place to sleep in the garden for Mika and Nelson. We did have a bit of a chuckle in class as it was one of the other girl's wedding anniversary, so we suggested she may not want to take it home for her husband!
You can see the ribbon around the edge of the tribute, a single pleat this time. The body is gypsophilia (that took forever to put in!), some spray carnations and a small posy on top. It is simple but would make a simple tribute.
A closer look at the posy, a single rose, white freesia, stem carnations, leather leaf and asparagus. The posy is raised by adding an extra piece of oasis onto the main pad.
Ciao
