DIY Peaceful Remembrance Rose Arrangement
DIY Peaceful Remembrance Rose Arrangement
Soft, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, the Peaceful Remembrance Rose Arrangement by our floral designer Clare offers a beautiful way to honor and remember a loved one. This timeless memorial piece features a graceful blend of creamy ivory and blush roses accented with delicate pink filler florals and lush greenery, creating a look that is both comforting and serene. This Memorial Arrangement varies from our other Memorial pieces because it uses a Clay Pot as the base/vessel. This is a great alternative if you do not have a vase to hold an arrangement at the Cemetery.
Supplies needed:
- (1) Clay Pot of your choice
- Several rocks to weigh down the Base
- (1) Styrofoam Block
- (2) White Open Rose Bush
- (2) Light Peach Rose Bush
- (1) Pink Garden Valerian Bush
- (2) Blush & Cream Peony and Hydrangea Mixed Bush
- (1) Spring Fuchsia Heather Bush
- (2) Silk Leather Leaf Bush
- Wire Cutters
- Hot Glue
- Here is a look at everything that was used in this Arrangement.
- Clare began this Arrangement by first filling the Pot with rocks to help weigh down the Pot. This is a crucial step to keep the Arrangement from being top heavy after adding all of the florals and will help it from being blown over once it is outside. Once the Pot was full she used the Styrofoam Block to cover the rocks. She glued this into place.
- Once the Styrofoam had been added Clare moved on to adding the florals. She took the first Open White Rose Bush and stuck the entire bush down into the center of the Styrofoam. She did add Hot Glue to the end of the main stem first. Once that Bush was placed she separated the stems slightly and began adding individual pieces of the Light Peach Bush.
- She then alternated between the White Roses and Peach Roses working her way around the Arrangement. She worked her way down in size from the center stem being the tallest point.
- Once all of the Roses had been added Clare began working on adding the accent florals throughout. She cut the Mixed Blush Bush into individual stems. She also did the same with the Fuchsia Heather Bush. She added these pieces throughout the Arrangement.
- Clare cut apart the Pink Garden Valerian Bush into individual pieces to add the final accents to this Arrangement.
- Clare added a Leather Leaf Skirt to the bottom of the Arrangement when she was done adding the Florals. She also added a few pieces to the interior of the Arrangement.
- When she was finished we were left with a gorgeous Memorial Arrangement perfect for honoring anyone's loved one.
