At Flowers 4 Nelson we aim to satisfy all requests for floral design. Recently I was asked by a funeral director, to make a casket spray for a local Fisherman that had pased away. It was an interesting assignment , and the result was a casket spray with flowers around the sides as normal, but with the central top part in a fishing scene with a net stretched over the surface and wooden fish ‘swimming’ into it; also a couple of fishing rods complete with hooks made from florist wire. The white statice I used was suggestive of the sea foam of waves in the ocean. I find it great fun to work out and make designs to satisfy my customers.
It is amazing how often I hear the words ” These beautiful flowers have really brightened up my day”. I hear it when I deliver flowers someone has ordered, and when i go to a friends house and take a few flowers for them with me. People really get a kick out of someone giving them flowers. Flowers lift peoples spirits. No they won’t last forever; but the memories of receiving flowers from someone do last forever; and those memories are pleasant ones.
