Eternal Garden

Regular Size

Shared Flower Palette

  • Lime green / chartreuse Asiatic lilies
  • Bright orange Gerbera daisies
  • Deep purple lisianthus
  • Cream / ivory roses
  • Green button chrysanthemums (pompons)
  • Leatherleaf fern (primary greenery)

1. Standing Wreath (Circular Easel Arrangement)

Finished size: Approximately 24–28″ diameter Mechanics:

  • 1 OASIS wet foam wreath form (or mossed wire wreath frame with foam inserts)
  • Standard black or green funeral easel
  • Waterproof floral tape and floral wire as needed

Stem Quantities:

  • Lime green lilies: 7–9 stems
  • Orange gerberas: 6–8 stems
  • Purple lisianthus: 8–12 stems
  • Cream roses: 6–8 stems
  • Green button mums: 12–15 stems
  • Leatherleaf fern: 8–10 stems (plus extra tips for filling)

Construction Steps:

  1. Soak the foam wreath thoroughly and secure it firmly to the easel.
  2. Cover the entire form with leatherleaf fern, angling stems outward and slightly forward to create a full, rounded base. Leave the center open.
  3. Place the lime green lilies first as strong focal points, spacing them evenly around the circle at slightly different angles for dimension.
  4. Insert the orange gerberas next, distributing them evenly so the bright color reads clearly from a distance.
  5. Add cream roses in small clusters, tucking them between the lilies and gerberas.
  6. Fill with purple lisianthus for rich color contrast and texture.
  7. Finish by adding green button mums throughout to soften and unify the design. Check for even coverage and balance from all viewing angles.

2. Casket Spray

Finished size: Approximately 36–42″ long × 16–20″ wide × 10–14″ high Mechanics:

  • Full-size casket saddle or long foam tray
  • 1–2 soaked OASIS bricks secured with waterproof tape
  • Optional chicken wire over the foam for extra hold

Stem Quantities:

  • Lime green lilies: 8–10 stems
  • Orange gerberas: 8–10 stems
  • Purple lisianthus: 12–15 stems
  • Cream roses: 8–10 stems
  • Green button mums: 15–18 stems
  • Leatherleaf fern: 12–15 stems (heavy use for cascading edges)

Construction Steps:

  1. Secure the soaked foam firmly in the saddle.
  2. Create a strong cascading base with leatherleaf fern. Let the fern spill generously over the front and sides of the casket for the soft, overflowing look in the photo.
  3. Place the lime green lilies as primary focals — distribute them along the length, with a few slightly higher in the center for gentle dimension (keep overall height modest).
  4. Insert orange gerberas next, spacing them evenly so the bold color runs the full length of the spray.
  5. Cluster cream roses and purple lisianthus throughout the middle section to build full, continuous mass.
  6. Fill remaining spaces with green button mums for texture and to soften transitions between larger blooms.
  7. Add final fern tips along the edges and between flowers. Step back and adjust so the spray looks balanced and abundant from the front and sides.

3. Table / Vase Arrangement

Finished size: Approximately 12–14″ diameter × 12–14″ high Mechanics:

  • Clear glass vase or fishbowl (as shown)
  • Soaked floral foam cut to fit, or a flower frog / chicken wire for a natural water look
  • Optional waterproof tape across the rim for stability

Stem Quantities:

  • Lime green lilies: 3–4 stems
  • Orange gerberas: 3–4 stems
  • Purple lisianthus: 5–6 stems
  • Cream roses: 4–5 stems
  • Green button mums: 6–8 stems
  • Leatherleaf fern: 4–6 stems

Construction Steps:

  1. Prepare the foam or mechanics in the clear vase so stems remain visible if desired.
  2. Insert a few leatherleaf fern stems first to create a soft green base and light edge.
  3. Place one or two strong lime green lilies slightly off-center as the main focal points.
  4. Add orange gerberas around the lilies, keeping the shape compact and rounded.
  5. Cluster cream roses and purple lisianthus tightly to build fullness and color contrast.
  6. Fill gaps with green button mums for texture and to complete the dome shape.
  7. Finish with a few fern tips at the base to soften the vase edge and unify the arrangement with the larger pieces.

Design Notes for Consistency

  • Maintain the same color ratios across all three pieces so they clearly belong together as a set.
  • Condition all flowers well (especially gerberas and lilies) before designing.
  • The overall feeling should be full, vibrant, and celebratory rather than sparse.
  • Work from the largest piece (casket spray or wreath) to the smallest so quantities can be adjusted if needed.
