A spray of flowers in shades of pink.

Your florist will make you a beautiful arrangement called a “spray”, the freshest flowers of the season arranged into florist foam. The foam holds water meaning that your tribute will arrive at its destination in perfect condition. The shape is roughly a teardrop shape, tapering to a point at one end. This is a traditional and natural looking display, where the flower stems are left that little bit longer than on say a wreath or posy.

Many varieties of flowers can be used, often including oriental lilies, longi lilies, lizianthus, roses, carnations, spray carnations, statice, wax flower, september flower, solidago, eryngium, hypericum berries, eucalyptus, ruscus, parviola, leather leaf, aspidistra leaves, palm leaves, twigs, pussy willow and bere grass strands.

For this tribute, mainly pink lilies, roses and carnations will be used.
