Tips For Planning Funeral Flower Wreaths

Funeral wreaths are popular choices of decorative features at a visitation and formal service. There are a number of designs, shades, and flower choices available including synthetic or fresh. Taking the time to build your own wreath range can save a great deal on expenses and offers a personalized alternative.

A wreath is a gesture of respect and serves to honor the memory of the deceased. It can include many different colors and even flowers that were favored by the person who has passed on. Tones and styles can be selected according to the season and create a beautiful theme for the proceedings.

For flowers that do not include the desired color or tone, it can be dyed or sprayed to represent the desired style. The items that need to be purchased for decorative purposes include a foam wreath, flower pins, fresh or synthetic flowers, a glue gun, wiring, and ribbon. The ribbon will need to include a broader width allowing for a loop around the ring and over the sides.

Flowers should be pinned to the wreath surface for security. The flower wiring should be used to pin the different decorative features including pine cones and natural elements. The ring should be filled with the different items and may be glued or pinned with the soft wires.

The stems of both fresh and synthetic flowers should be pushed through the foam and secured. Modern options include the placement of small photographs and accessories on the wreath that represent the life of the individual who has departed. Ribbon can be applied for additional security and to fill any holes.

Funeral wreaths can be created in a variety of styles and materials. There is option to incorporate personalized touches including images and other preferred decorative items. If you are interested in purchasing these items, consider discussing available features with a professional.
