I did the flowers for this funeral and it was such a tender experience! The family wanted to personalize everything. It was for a female, but they wanted it very naturalistic. I think it turned out perfectly. The casket saddle was filled with Yellow and Confetti Roses, Cattails, leaves, Hypericum (Coffee) Berries, and so much more.
The family wanted to do an easel piece from the nieces and nephews, whom their dear aunt referred to as "My Littles". The Gerber Daisies were color coded - orange for one gender, yellow for the other. Then little tags with each of their names were attached to "their" daisy. Besides how cute this looks, another nice thing is that after the funeral and graveside service is over, each person can take their flower and press it or whatever they want to have as a keepsake.
Frogs was one of her favorite things. So I did this piece to celebrate that. Galax leaves were used as make-shift lily pads and little rubber frogs were wired on. It turned out so great! The container used here is a mache container. This line comes in off-white with natural flecks, this bright green, and dark brown. I use them constantly! They are versatile, look great in so many different settings, and are CHEAP!
