Wishes provides a wide selection of bespoke funeral and sympathy arrangements, working with you to choose the perfect personal tribute for a loved one.
Flowers are an ideal way to express your condolences and pay your last respects.
Your tribute flowers will be delivered directly to the funeral director, so you don’t have to worry about anything else.

The range of tribute designs covers all budgets, and includes :
Full casket/coffin tribute sprays (from 3ft to 4Β½ft in length);
Pedestal arrangements and various styles of funeral venue displays;
Double-ended tribute sprays (from 2ft to 3ft in length);
Single-ended tribute sprays (from 1Β½ft to 2Β½ft in length);
Round open wreaths and round posy-pad styles (various diameters, starting at 1Β½ft);
Heart-shaped wreaths (open style, or full heart - various diameters, starting at 1Β½ft)
Bouquet/tied sheaf style (from 2ft to 3ft in length);
Crosses (from 3ft in length)
Pillows (chrysanthemum-based with ribbon border)
Open teardrop-shaped laurel wreaths (for military tributes).

Things to consider when you are ordering :
β€’ Possible favourite colour(s) and flower(s) of the deceased.
β€’ Any message you would like included; (we can help with wording, if required).

These are some of the most important items a florist can make, and so all the designs are constructed with care and attention to detail, and organised for you to ensure everything is taken care of at such a sensitive and difficult time.

A big "Thank you !" to the Committee of the SAFAS Club in Busby for their welcome and their hospitality last Tuesday.
I demonstrated some designs to start off the club's season. Hope the raffle winners enjoyed their arrangements 🀞

I have included pictures below, each inspired by lines in Keats' poem :

"Days of mists..." (Parallel design with alliums, scabiosa, bunny tails, p***y willow, eucalyptus & silver grasses).

"Drowsed with the fume of poppies" (Linear symmetrical design in red/black/gold with poppy seed heads, "Tacazzi" magenta roses, black pampas grass, crimson antirrhinums, gold lotus seed heads, black mitsumata sticks, ruscus foliage)

"To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core" (Symmetrical basket display with coral roses, purple lisianthus, red solidago, purple trachelium, cypress, leather leaf & pumpkins).

"While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue" (Linear horizontal design using bleached mitsumata sticks, coral dahlias, white alliums, pink charmelias, ruscus & cream midelino sticks).

"And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease" (Triangular symmetrical arrangement with mini sunflowers "Sonja", "Peach Avalanche" roses, Anigoz "Gold Fever" kangaroo paw, solidago, antirrhinum "Potomac orange" snapdragons, cypress, ruscus.

Privileged to be asked to do September's demonstration for the SAFAS Club (Scottish Association of Flower Arranging Societies) in Busby.
This starts off the club's season and I'll be creating some designs inspired by Keats' beautiful poem. This is being held at the Giffnock Bowling Club, so any interested persons can come along on the night and get the chance to win one of the floral designs via the raffle 🌺🌻πŸͺ»πŸ‘

Some lovely "in-situ" photos from attendees of last weekend's workshop.
Love seeing the end result in people's homes, giving some great focal points for their designs. Thank you to Janice, Isobel, Yvonne and Anne for all the lovely pics - fabulous work, ladies πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜
(P.S. For the lady who enquired about the wire gauge, it was a 2mm, however you could create the t-light holders with a narrower gauge wire if it is made from a stronger metal; it just depends on the wire's firmness versus flexibilityπŸ‘πŸ•―)
