When words fall short, flowers speak volumes in honouring our loved ones. Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy, but flowers can help express our feelings when words are not enough.
Flowers play a big role in funerals. They show love, respect, and sympathy. At Bridge Road Florist, we know how important it is to choose the right flowers to honour your loved one.
There are many types of funeral arrangements to choose from. Wreaths, symbolising eternal life, are often placed on the casket or at the service. Casket toppers rest on top of the casket, providing a beautiful tribute. Sheaf bouquets are hand-tied and can be placed anywhere, while vase arrangements are perfect for placing around the service area.
When choosing flowers for a funeral, consider the meaning behind different blooms. Lilies represent peace and the restored innocence of the soul. Roses come in different colours, each with its own meaning: white for purity and innocence, red for love and respect. Carnations are long-lasting and come in many colours; white carnations stand for pure love and innocence. Orchids symbolise eternal love and are a beautiful choice for funerals. The colour of the flowers also carries special meanings. White signifies purity, peace, and innocence. Red stands for love, respect, and courage. Yellow represents friendship and remembrance, while pink conveys grace, admiration, and gentleness.
Adding a personal touch can make the flowers even more special. Include the loved one’s favourite flowers in the arrangement, or add a photo of the loved one to the display. Ribbons with special messages or the loved one’s name can also add a unique touch. Choosing the right funeral flowers can be a daunting task. Talk to family and friends; they might have ideas or preferences that can guide your choice. Consider the loved one’s personality and choose flowers and colours that reflect who they were. Think about the service location and make sure the flowers fit the space where the service will be held.
