Top Tips For Planning Wreaths For A Funeral

Funeral wreaths are common decorative features that are present at a wake, service, and memorial. It can be designed in various colors and include different types of flowers that may be purchased fresh or artificial. Learning to build a wreath provides numerous design options including a personalized appearance.

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.

There is the choice of purchasing ready made funeral wreaths for the ceremony. It is a good idea to determine whether the wreath range can be personalized to meet individual needs and interests. The costs should be considered to ensure that a valuable and affordable decision is made to honor the memory of a loved one or close friend.
