Posting in here for the traffic, hope ok.
I've been looking to get Dad and Grandad floral letters made for my dad's funeral. Having spent so much time looking at them it's began to occur to me that I could actually make them myself.
It's not a cost thing... I've researched the prices and it's probably going to work out a similar price. It just seems so much more meaningful to make them myself. I can source the letters and stand easily and have found a company who will supply the chrysanths. I'd source the accent flowers locally. I've looked up timings and what's involved. It's pretty straightforward really, nothing like proper flower arranging (which I'm rubbish at). I'm just worried as I haven't done this before that it might go horribly wrong and I'll be left with no flowers at all! I don't have time for a trial run.
Has anybody attempted this themselves before? Or are there any florists out there that would like to tell me it's not as simple as it looks and I should banish this from my mind immediately?! I do get that floristry is a skill... but the letters do look so simple with the right equipment!
Thanks for any help!
