MEMORIAL DAY FLOWERS
Monday, May 30th is Memorial Day. Your local
florist can provide fresh or silk flowers for honoring the memory
of your loved ones. There are many options available when taking
flowers to a gravesite. Many people choose a cone arrangement,
which can be placed into the ground.
Here are some things to keep in mind when taking
loose fresh flowers to a gravesite. If you will be placing them in
a cone, you should take a couple of supplies with you. A pair of
scissors and a jug of water. When you arrive at the gravesite,
place the cone in the ground. If you have floral preservative add
this to the cone first. Fill the cone with water 3/4 full. Remove
the leaves that fall below the water line from the stems. Finally
clip off an inch or so from the bottom of the stems and place the
flowers into the cone. You can then arrange the flowers to fill in
the cone.
Silk floral designs can also be created. Ask your
local florist for silk floral suggestions and design options for
memorial pieces. Bouquets, Wreaths and Custom Memorial Design forms
are all popular choices in silk flowers. You can even customize the
design to reflect military service (red, white & blue flowers, flag
design, etc.) to honor your loved one's service.
Memorial Day has also become a popular time for
Family Reunions and Get Togethers. Consider having your local
florist create centerpieces for your weekend celebration.
We suggest ordering your memorial flowers a few
days ahead of time to ensure the best selection. Remember to ensure
your floral order is filled to value, order direct from a local
florist. No middleman, No extra fees!
