Funeral Flowers Bundle 2 Recipe

Florist Recipe: Classic All-White Funeral Bundle (3 Coordinating Arrangements)

This elegant, traditional design uses pure white flowers and soft silvery greenery for a serene, timeless tribute. Below are professional recipes with realistic stem counts and step-by-step instructions for each piece.

Shared Flower Palette

• White roses (standard)
• White Oriental lilies
• White hydrangeas
• White stock or snapdragons (line flowers)
• Baby’s breath (Gypsophila)
• Silver Dollar Eucalyptus + longer trailing eucalyptus stems

1. Standing Spray (Left Arrangement on Easel)

Finished size: Approximately 36–42″ tall × 24–28″ wide Mechanics:

• 1 OASIS floral foam cage or large foam block in a plastic cage
• Standard green metal funeral easel / tripod
• Waterproof floral tape

Stem Quantities:

• White roses: 18–22 stems
• White Oriental lilies: 5–7 stems
• White hydrangeas: 3–4 heads
• White stock / snapdragons: 8–10 stems
• Baby’s breath: 6–8 stems
• Eucalyptus: 12–15 stems (mix of silver dollar and longer trailing stems)

Construction Steps:

1. Soak the foam thoroughly and secure the cage firmly to the easel.
2. Establish the overall shape and soft cascade with eucalyptus. Place longer trailing stems at the bottom and sides for the gentle draping effect.
3. Insert the white hydrangeas as mass anchors at mid and lower heights for volume.
4. Place the white lilies as strong focal points at varying heights so they stand out clearly.
5. Cluster the white roses throughout the middle and upper sections, grouping some in threes for depth and fullness.
6. Add white stock or snapdragons as vertical line flowers, allowing some to rise above the roses and others to cascade softly.
7. Finish by weaving in baby’s breath throughout for a light, airy texture. Step back and adjust for a balanced, cascading silhouette.

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

Stem Quantities:

• White roses: 18–22 stems
• White Oriental lilies: 5–7 stems
• White hydrangeas: 3–4 heads
• White stock / snapdragons: 8–10 stems
• Baby’s breath: 6–8 stems
• Eucalyptus: 14–18 stems (heavier use for the cascading edges)

Construction Steps:

1. Secure the soaked foam firmly in the saddle.
2. Create a soft horizontal outline with eucalyptus, letting the foliage spill gently over the front and sides of the casket.
3. Place white hydrangeas low and centered for fullness and to anchor the design.
4. Position the white lilies as focal points along the length, keeping the overall height modest (around 10–14″).
5. Fill the middle section densely with white roses, creating a continuous soft mass of blooms.
6. Insert white stock or snapdragons in staggered heights for gentle vertical texture.
7. Weave baby’s breath throughout and finish with additional eucalyptus tips along the edges for a soft, finished look.

3. Table Arrangement (Silver Bowl)

Finished size: Approximately 12–14″ diameter × 10–12″ high Mechanics:

• Silver pedestal bowl or low silver container (as shown)
• Soaked floral foam cut to fit
• Optional waterproof tape for stability

Stem Quantities:

• White roses: 8–10 stems
• White Oriental lilies: 2–3 stems
• White hydrangeas: 1–2 heads
• White stock / snapdragons: 4–5 stems
• Baby’s breath: 3–4 stems
• Eucalyptus: 6–8 stems

Construction Steps:

1. Prepare the foam securely in the silver bowl.
2. Insert eucalyptus first to create a soft, rounded green base that slightly spills over the edges.
3. Place one or two white lilies slightly off-center as the clear focal points.
4. Add the white hydrangea low and central for mass.
5. Cluster white roses tightly around the lilies and hydrangea to build a full, dome-shaped form.
6. Insert short stems of white stock for light vertical accent.
7. Finish by adding baby’s breath throughout for airiness and a few eucalyptus tips at the base to soften the container edge.

Design Notes for Consistency

• Keep the same soft, full, and airy feeling across all three pieces so they read as a coordinated set.
• Condition flowers properly (especially hydrangeas and lilies) before designing.
• The overall style should remain elegant, traditional, and peaceful rather than tightly packed or rigid.
• Work from the largest arrangement to the smallest so stem counts can be fine-tuned if needed.
