Funeral Tribute Inspired by a Flowering Plant Pot
A Thoughtful Tribute: Creating a Funeral Design Inspired by a Flowering Plant Pot
Time: 13 minutes and 42 seconds | Season: Spring/Summer
Welcome to this month’s floral design lesson. In this heartfelt and creative video, we’ll show you how to make a bespoke funeral tribute that mimics the look of a flower-filled plant pot, offering a gentle and personal way to celebrate someone’s life.
Using a plant pot, a foam posy pad, and a layer of soft cushion moss as the base, this tribute is designed to resemble fresh blooms growing naturally from the earth. It’s a design that beautifully bridges the traditional and the whimsical — ideal for gardeners, nature lovers, or anyone who found joy in simple, homegrown beauty.
Watch the video to follow each step as we build up the tribute with cheerful yellow and white flowers, soft lavenders, and textured foliage to create something that feels truly special and full of life.
