Funeral Flowers – A Helping Hand

Posted on May 23, 2010 under wreaths | Comments are off

Funerals are very mournful occasions, and they symbolise the care the survivors have for the life bygone. A lot of planning is required to organise a funeral service for our departed loved ones. One of the many tasks involves arranging funeral flowers for the wake or memorial service. Due to the sensitive nature of the occasion, utmost care needs to be taken to choose the appropriate flowers.

Funeral flowers tend to reflect the personality of the deceased. Sometimes they are symbolic of the relationship that existed between the survivor who is arranging the funeral service and the deceased. Your choice in flowers can show your love and respect for the deceased person.

What type of flower should be chosen?

- Rose – Carnation – Lily – Gerbera Daisy – Aster – Delphinium – Gladiolus – Chrysanthemum

While roses and carnations are considered classic and traditional, a more contemporary funeral flower arrangement combines two or more types of flowers to create a unique and beautiful style.

What is the correct colour to pick?

- Flowers can have a great effect on the moods of people. The mere presence of flowers can lift the spirits of a gloomy person. The colour of funeral flowers varies with individual preferences. It ranges from darker shades like purple to brighter ones like yellow. More often than not, we see funeral flowers in soft, pastel, and muted hues, rather than in loud and glaring tones.

- The colour of funeral flowers also depends on the venue of the funeral service. In a funeral home with collared halls, a large white wreath might look quite breathtaking. But this may not be the case if it is placed in a white church or a funeral home. Adding a dash of colour might provide some respite from the already gloomy surroundings.

What is the appropriate flower arrangement to choose?

- Funeral flower arrangements can be both formal and informal. Formal floral arrangements include wreaths and crosses. While flower covered crosses are appropriate for Christian funeral services, wreaths can be used in almost all kinds of funerals.

- Informal flower arrangements for funeral services can include baskets, cut flowers, potted plants, posies, pedestal arrangements, bouquets, planters, headstone flowers, casket lid floral arrangements, sprays, and even a bunch of floral sticks tied with a ribbon.

Many a times, sprays are placed over the deceased’s casket. Crosses, bouquets, and wreaths are generally used as displays. These are arranged around the room or hall in which the funeral service takes place. Flowers have the ability to make the ambience soothing and lighten the mood of the mourners.

In recent times, custom-made funeral flower arrangements have become increasingly popular. There are florists who specialise in creating arrangements that reflect the personality of the deceased. Different patterns, designs, and styles can be juxtaposed to create a unique funeral flower arrangement which will be a real tribute to the deceased. Funeral flowers are perhaps the most elegant and simple way to pay our respects to the departed soul.

Dried Poppies: How To Properly Dry & Display The Flowers

Posted on May 19, 2010 under wreaths | Comments are off

Many people enjoy arts and crafts and there are all kinds of mediums to work in.  Take, for instance, those that enjoy working with dried flowers, producing those incredible wreaths, vase arrangements and accent pieces that grace dining tables, walls, living rooms and bedrooms around the world. Dried poppy pods are one of the most sought after dried floral products for use in flowerarrangements and floral crafts.  Poppy pods are unique round dried seed pods with a flat cap on top and are sold complete with the stem. They are offered by numerous online sellers or you can buy poppy pods from your local craft store, though your local store may not offer the superb variety available from online retailers and wholesalers that offer poppy pods for sale. Also look for variety in the way that the pods have been dried. When dried in bundles upside down, the stems are almost perfectly straight, but when allowed to dry naturally, standing upright in a container, the stems can dry in unexpected and interesting ways that lend depth and architectural appeal to wreaths and floral arrangements. And don’t let your imagination stop at fall arrangements; though this is the most common usage, dried poppy pods are well-suited for displays for all seasons. A very light coat of air-brushed color can really stand out. Poppy pods for sale are usually offered in  four sizes; small, medium, large and mammoth.  The pods can be as large as  four inches in diameter and as small as two inches, so look for a site that offers a wide variety when looking to buy poppy pods. There are also a variety of different species of poppy pods for sale, so artists can pick and choose the size, species and decorative form when they buy poppy pods. Anyone can buy poppy pods in small enough amounts for making gifts for friends and family or just for home décor, or if this is for a commercial enterprise, suppliers may offer special pricing for bulk orders. Many casual hobbyists will go in together to buy enough quantity to qualify for bulk pricing. A quick search on the web will provide many sources from which you can buy poppy pods, some of which may offer free shipping along with an equitable value. Once the poppy pods are in hand the imagination is the only limit to what can be done with this striking floral medium that can be used in a myriad of ways. Dried field poppies look absolutely stunning in an herb wreath with more colorful dried herbs and flowers, like salvia borminum, pink pepper berries, marjoram and marigolds. The miniature dried poppy pods can make a more delicate wreath when combined with lacier plant varieties like baby’s breath or lavender. Use twisty poppy stems for more stately arrangements and a quite dramatic display is possible using oriental paper bush and large, bulky blooms that are balanced by being interlaced with the twisty dried poppy pod stems. Consider using the large globular poppy pods as accents for various seasons. Spraying them different colors and adding contrasting stencils in the form of black cats or witches for Halloween, snowflakes for Christmas or doves and crosses for Easter can make a new arrangement totally unique or freshen up a previously used arrangement to make it appear new. Just look online for any number of ideas on how to utilize this amazingly versatile floral medium.  Let your imagination run wild!
