he COVID pandemic has impacted our
lives in myriad ways—among them
being where and how we grieve. Saying
goodbye to loved ones during these times
is challenging, so I was inspired to create
a design that could be used as a backdrop for a
cremation urn at a memorial service, placed at a
grave site or displayed a church altar.
I intentionally selected botanical materials that
are seasonal and a color palette that is feminine,
but this design concept is extremely versatile,
and the design can be created using virtually
any types of flowers, in any and all colors, to
suit a client's specific needs. e idea is also
adaptable for other occasions such as parties
and events as well as office décor—and more!
This versatile design, created as a backdrop for a cremation urn, is adaptable for myriad
other uses, including event work, office décor and more.
