a friend of mine just lost her son and we are going to the wake tommorow....he was creamated...i am sending flowers to the church and i was wondering who i am supposed to address it to...do i put his name on the delivery or the mothers....also i decided on red and white carnations on a stand...do you think there better in a pot?
Sympathy flower arrangements?
I would put to the family of...and his name. But as for flowers or potted flowers, I'd recommend a dish garden. Its all live green plants. Some florists put cuts mums in it to give it color and usually bow. I like this better than the cut floral arrangement for sympathy because the dish garden will live on and on just like you want the departed's memory to live on and on. But if you have your heart set on red and white carnations, I dont think thats a bad idea either. Good luck with the decision and please tell your friend sorry for her loss.
Reply:As a florist I recommend writing his name on the card and then c/o or care of and then his mother's name. That way the funeral home get's it to the correct wake. Oh and on the pot, just a tip if the florist where to add water to the pot to keep the flowers longer the funeral home would probably pour it out. Most don't like the water to spill on the carpet.
Reply:Having been on the receiving end of this, the flowers are all beautiful. But the live plants live on and they are wonderful remembrances. But to answer your question, on a stand with the carnations and you put the mother's name on the delivery.
Reply:You can either put his name or "To the family of [his name]" or to his mother. All will be appreciated. When my son died suddenly, we received flowers and cards all ways. What will matter to her is that you remembered.
As to stand or pot, either will be just fine. The florist will put those on a stand in oasis so they will stay fresh.
Please be sure to remember her later as well, and let her talk about her son (don't avoid his name). Every time someone tells her a story about him or lets her talk about him, it gives her back a piece of him. If you want to email me privately, I'll send you my son's web page address and you can look at some of the things his friends said about him. Those young people will never know how very much their comments and stories helped me.
One more thing, please give her a hug from one mother who lost her son to another who lost her son. Please assure her that even though it will always hurt, she will learn to live around the pain and have a full life again, not now, not tomorrow, but it will happen, piece by piece.

Is there a web page where I can actually see the flower arrangements?
Almost all the wedding pages have a section called "flowers" but usually they just talk about it and do not show any flowers at all. That makes me mad, i want to choose flowers for my bouquet and center pieces not to grow them or get to know them. Any tips for me? Thank you.

Try www.theknot.com they show lots of pictures of bridal bouquets. Congrats and Good Luck!
Reply:Just about any florist has a web site that shows their designs and selections. Try doing a search for "wedding flowers." Doing that I found:
http://www.weddingflowersbyannette.com/
which has some great pictures.
And a search on Yahoo! Images turned up these pictures:

A lot of cities have classes put on by their respective Parks %26amp; Rec. Departments. I know in my towm, there is something very similar to what you are looking for being offered, as well as art, pottery, dancing, and other types of classes. Good luck in your search!
Reply:You could look for books at the book store, discount stores and home improvements stores.
On the internet, you should check out Carol Duval TV episodes on www.hgtv.com. She probably has some information.
Also check your craft stores. They will have information. Good Luck!

I an a retired person.I would like to persue, flower arrangement as a hobby. Is there any body who can teach?
Are there any books available, if so where in Bangalore. I reside in Bangalore, Koramangala. Please let me know the details

Check out the continuing ed courses at your local university or tech school. Sometimes these such non-credit courses are offered. Also, talk to your favorite florist to see if he/she might have some recommendations or suggestions.
Reply:Check up at a local Book stall for books on IKEBANA. That is a good start with some standard styles.Make a beginning with collecting Driftwood and dried creepers which can serve as good props for cut creepers for a one-day show or for seasonal display of theme arrangements using dry or durable flowers.
While decorating in imitation of Ikebana Book illustrations ask yourself the simple question "Can I use other variations using similar or different kinds of flowers or props"
Keep experimenting and soak up all the kudos that come your way. cs r

What's the best flower arrangement for center table?
It all depends on the party at the time
I prefer low cut arrangements small so you can have nice talks across the table if your trying to keep it quiet and to the person next to you like a formal party try long stems in a high vase so you can't see the person across the table so you don;t have to talk across just to the person next to you
Low cut flowers that are nice and cheap carnations you can get any color and high cut if your not worried about seasons i love lilies or tulips
Good luck and have fun with it
If your doing a kids party try the colorful tissue paper bunch it up and make it into flowers.

What's the best flower arrangement for center table?
colors that match the room
Reply:Keep in mind that artistically, one item on a surface looks better than two, and three look better than two or four. Two of anything to look mitchy-matchy is not pleasing. Either one in the center or one with two smaller ones to complement.
If you're referring to a low coffee table, one glass vase is pretty so you can observe the water level halfway up. The flower arrangement should not be so tall that it obstructs the people's view. You don't want to have to peer around an arrangement in order to make eye contact and carry on a conversation.
My coffee table holds a fat pillar candle in a hurricane vase with a couple of large shells to one side to offset it. (there's your three) Or put a candle and two staggered pictorial books. Or a natural African Violet and two staggered books. Later in the Fall or for Thanksgiving I just lay a natural harvest wreath in the center (big so it comes to 10" of the edge) and I may put the pillar candle in the center but not unless we're sitting around in there to enjoy the candle glowing. Consider a seasonal wreath and change it through the year.
Sometimes the stack of coasters works as the third item.
I have sometimes chosen green branches for a vase arrangement when things are not flowering in my yard. I make a green arrangement with even pine, grasses, small palm fronds. An amber glass vase on my corner table holds a single elephant-ear leaf and it gives a serene look.
