Moss Heart Tribute

Mossed Heart Tribute with Floral Spray

Time: 21 minutes | Season: All Year Round (adapt to season)

Creating meaningful floral tributes is at the heart of thoughtful, bespoke floristry—and in this tutorial, we explore one of the most heartfelt designs: a mossed heart adorned with a delicate seasonal spray. This timeless tribute, suitable all year round, offers a beautiful way to express love, remembrance, and connection.

Guided by our experienced tutor, you’ll learn how to craft a natural heart-shaped base using sustainably sourced moss. From there, we build a floral spray that adds softness, movement, and colour—designed to feel fresh and elegant without overwhelming the form beneath. The result is an arrangement that feels personal and respectful, perfect for honouring a loved one with grace and subtle beauty.

Heart-shaped tributes remain a popular choice for funerals and memorials. Their symbolism is universal—representing eternal love, deep affection, and emotional closeness. This design blends traditional sentiment with a more modern, naturalistic feel, avoiding rigid formality in favour of a softer, garden-inspired touch.

If you wish to recreate this design, find the tools and plant materials below:

In this demonstration, you’ll see how to work with seasonal stems such as Muscari, Viburnum, Ornithogalum, Pussy Willow, Anemones, and Lisianthus. These flowers bring texture, gentle colour, and a sense of seasonality to the design. Depending on the time of year or client preferences, this tribute can be adapted to suit different palettes—from muted whites and greens to soft spring pastels or rich autumnal tones.

For those looking to extend the life of the fresh flowers, optional water vials can be incorporated discreetly into the moss base—ideal for longer services or warmer weather. However, the design is equally impactful without them, allowing for full creative flexibility.

Whether you’re designing for a client or developing your skills in tribute work, this tutorial offers a thoughtful and creative approach to sympathy floristry, combining natural materials with emotional sensitivity.
