When creating sympathy flowers, I strive to make each arrangement deeply personal by incorporating the deceased person's favorite blooms. This approach ensures that every design is unique and serves as a heartfelt tribute to the individual being celebrated. In this particular arrangement, I've chosen elements that reflect the person's love for nature, gardening and indigenous beauty. The palette features soothing shades of green, complemented by masculine and locally sourced elements wherever possible. The arrangement showcases an exquisite combination of 'Koedoe klappers' (monkey oranges or Strychnos), sustainably sourced hardwood from the Bushveld, delicate pinkish waxflowers, and roses to honor his late wife. The addition of stunning protea and Finebush adds a touch of elegance, making this tribute truly special.
