Funeral Flowers Bundle 4 Recipe

Shared Flower Palette

• White lilies (Asiatic or Oriental)
• White roses
• White chrysanthemums (mix of standard daisy-style and button/pompon)
• White carnations (or similar ruffled white blooms)
• 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)
• Standard black funeral easel
• Waterproof floral tape and floral wire as needed

Stem Quantities:

• White lilies: 8–10 stems
• White roses: 8–10 stems
• White chrysanthemums: 12–15 stems (mix of sizes)
• White carnations: 6–8 stems
• Leatherleaf fern: 8–10 stems

Construction Steps:

1. Soak the foam wreath thoroughly and secure it firmly to the easel.
2. Cover the form with leatherleaf fern, angling stems outward to create a full, rounded base while keeping the center open.
3. Place the white lilies first as strong focal points, spacing them evenly around the circle at slightly different angles for dimension.
4. Insert white roses next, distributing them evenly between the lilies.
5. Add white chrysanthemums (both larger and button styles) to fill and soften the design.
6. Tuck in white carnations for extra texture and fullness.
7. Finish by checking coverage from all angles and adding any final fern tips to complete the clean circular shape.

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:

• White lilies: 8–10 stems
• White roses: 10–12 stems
• White chrysanthemums: 14–18 stems
• White carnations: 8–10 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.
3. Place the white lilies as primary focals along the length, keeping the overall height modest (around 10–14″).
4. Insert white roses throughout the middle section to build a continuous mass of blooms.
5. Fill with white chrysanthemums (larger blooms toward the center, button styles toward the edges) for texture and volume.
6. Add white carnations to soften transitions and increase fullness.
7. Finish with additional fern tips along the edges for a soft, finished cascade.

3. Table / Vase Arrangement

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

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

Stem Quantities:

• White lilies: 3–4 stems
• White roses: 5–6 stems
• White chrysanthemums: 6–8 stems
• White carnations: 3–4 stems
• Leatherleaf fern: 4–6 stems

Construction Steps:

1. Prepare the foam or mechanics in the clear vase.
2. Insert a few leatherleaf fern stems first to create a soft green base.
3. Place one or two white lilies slightly off-center as the main focal points.
4. Cluster white roses around the lilies to build a rounded form.
5. Add white chrysanthemums and carnations to fill gaps and create a full, compact dome shape.
6. 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 clean, full, and balanced look across all three pieces so they clearly belong together.
• Condition all flowers properly before designing (especially lilies).
• The overall style should remain classic, pure, and peaceful.
• Work from the largest arrangement to the smallest so stem counts can be adjusted if needed.
