Every artist expresses themselves in a different way. Some work with paint. Others work with music. Still others work with flowers, and these individuals call themselves florists. The bouquets and flower arrangements that florists create are true works of art. They are designed to express emotions and evoke certain feelings. You can order a bouquet for a graduation, an anniversary, or even a birthday, and that bouquet will be made uniquely for your needs. If you would like to learn more about florists and their art, then we invite you to read the articles on this blog, and also to strike up a conversation with your florist the next time you see them.

Three Types Of Sympathy Floral Arrangements To Consider Sending

There are many different ways that you can express your sympathy following someone's passing. While attending the funeral service and sending a sympathetic card to the family of the deceased are effective ways of showing your support, another option is to send a sympathy floral arrangement. You can visit a florist in your community, choose an arrangement that you think the deceased's family will appreciate, and then arrange to have the florist deliver the flowers to the funeral home in advance of the funeral service. There are many different types of arrangements that you may wish to send, including the following options.
Funeral Wreath
A popular type of sympathy floral arrangement that people send to funeral homes is a funeral wreath. When you think of displaying a wreath, you might picture it hanging on a door or even on a wall. People typically set up funeral wreaths, however, on metal stands. This type of arrangement is available in different sizes and even shapes. While circular wreaths are common, another option is a wreath in the shape of a heart. Florists can use many types of flowers to construct their wreaths, and you'll commonly have the option of having a ribbon with a message of sympathy hanging from the wreath or stretching across its front.
Floral Basket
Another option that your local florist likely has available is a floral basket. As its name suggests, this is a floral arrangement that comes in a basket. Florists generally have a wide range of basket designs, so you can choose one that you think will go well with your choice of flowers and that you feel the family of the deceased will appreciate. One benefit of sending this type of arrangement is that after the blooms die, the family can use the basket. For example, the family might put a potted plant in the basket and, in doing so, remember your kindness in sending this arrangement.
Floral Bouquet
A traditional type of arrangement to send as a way of expressing your sympathy is a floral bouquet. Bouquets generally consist of several flowers with their stems cut long and placed in a vase. As with a floral basket, choosing a bouquet with a vase can be ideal because the family may wish to keep the vase after eventually discarding the flowers. There are many options for suitable flowers for floral bouquets, and your local florist can help you to make the right choice. Contact a florist for more information about sympathy floral arrangements.
