Being a florist provides a privilege to participate in other people’s memorable moments. Often we get to highlight a union, new birth, and other joyous moments with our floral designs. Sometimes flowers are ordered to ease the pain of a passing. Creating floral arrangements for clients is hard because you work hard to create a floral arrangement that you want to attempt to commiserate someone’s loss. However, it is even more challenging when it is someone you know. Yesterday we made floral arrangements for our dear friend who recently passed away from cancer. I remember just 15 years ago creating flowers for his wedding to my best friend. It was very emotional for me to do his funeral flowers, especially the bleeding heart arrangement ordered by his loving nephews and nieces. The white roses are symbolic of one of the purest hearts I have had the pleasure of knowing.
