(Paperback Option - Gloss Satin Cardstock with Plastic Waterproof Page over Front Cover)
A reconceptualized sympathy flower book for florists, flower farmers, funeral directors, home funeral guides, grieving families, and anyone who has ever grieved for a loved one and/or works in any facet of the funeral industry. This book was created to help florists return to their traditional way of constructing and sourcing flowers and foliage specifically in the funeral flower industry. It is intended to replaced outdated funeral flower displays reminiscent of Victorian era meets 1950's style stagnant and unattractive arrangements that we have all grown to associate with a sorrowful funeral service.
In the opening of the book you will find a welcome page, a note to grieving families, and a note to funeral directors and home funeral guides. Following these introductions is the gallery section of reconceptualized sympathy arrangements starting with winter, and leading to spring, late spring & early summer, late summer & early autumn, autumn, tropical and patriotic. The closing finishes with a designer reference guide for the returning home florist. It is laid out in an easy floral recipe form including tips and tricks here and there, and even suggestions to offer grieving families along the way. Some arrangements have extra pictures showcasing howo the arrangement was internally construced with only re-purposed/donated items.
