The Casket Spray
Designing for today’s competitive sympathy market requires a creative flair. This piece is graceful in style and form.  It’s made of two islands of flowers and greens, which are bridged by an arch of curly willow.  The arrangements are designed in two ‘Grande’ floral cages. Contributing to the modern feel and impact is the grouping of the flowers, complemented with knotted green organza fabric.
