hello frizzytwig, I've posted a mum letter frame I did in the gallery. I think greenery edging or the new abaca ribbon is rather lovely to use. I did 3 small sprays and used jasmine to join them up. Sorry to hear about your nan, it is always lovely to make your own tribute to a loved one, it will mean so much and its a nice way of giving something special to her for the last time.

Coffin spray
Mum has asked if I would do the coffin spray which I am happy to do as I have done many double ended at college, my only problem is knowing how big a piece of oasis to use, I did buy one at the wholesalers today which came with a tray and said coffin sprays but not sure how big I should go with the design. I ideally want it about 3 feet, so if the oasis was 205x190x80mm would this be ok.
Sorry to bother you all with this.

A standard block is only 230x110x80 and that is more than big enough for a 3' spray. it does depend on the sort of flowers you are using. If they are all long stems you could do it on a block half that size. The larger block allows you to use shorter stem flowers as well as long stems.
oops..look at the time..gotta go..

thanks fly2hi, I feel better about doing it now, will probably go for longer stemmed flowers to give me the most options.

Hi fly2hi
I haven't given it much thought yet, are there any that you would recommend or avoid. Mum told me no lilies, so they are out.

If you were going roses carnation spray carnation chrysanths as mains and fill in with maybe bouvardia alstromeria lizianthus stock tulips the list is endless

Spring is in the air!
Hyacinth, daffodils, veronica, anemone, freesia, muscari, etc It's very fiddly and you need to use stem phials to bed some of these but most people love the effect at this time of year.
