A Guide to Bespoke Funeral Tributes in South Ayrshire

Saying goodbye to a loved one is one of the hardest things we face in life. During times of grief, words can feel impossible – and that’s where flowers can speak for us. At Bespoke Blooms Floristry in Ayrshire, I believe funeral flowers are more than decoration; they are a way to honour a life, share love, and offer comfort when it’s needed most.

Every farewell is unique, and so every tribute I create is bespoke, heartfelt, and crafted with care. Here’s a guide to the types of funeral flowers I can design, and how they can help reflect the memory of your loved one.


Casket Sprays & Coffin Dressing

A casket spray is often the most significant floral tribute at a funeral. Designed to sit beautifully on top of the coffin, these arrangements are created with love and dignity, reflecting the personality and life of the person being remembered. Some families choose soft, timeless whites and greens, while others prefer bright, bold colours that celebrate a vibrant life.

I can also create full coffin dressing, where flowers and foliage are carefully placed to surround the casket – a natural, gentle way of saying goodbye.


Wreaths & Posies

Wreaths are a traditional symbol of eternity, representing never-ending love. They can be crafted in a circular, open design or created with seasonal blooms that carry special meaning.

Posies are smaller, round arrangements that are suitable from close family, friends, or colleagues. They’re a simple yet thoughtful way to pay tribute and share love.


Bespoke Tributes

Sometimes, the most meaningful tributes are those that carry a personal touch. I often create bespoke funeral tributes such as names, hearts, crosses, or even custom shapes that represent something special about your loved one’s life.

I’ve also worked with families who wanted to include flowers or foliage from their loved one’s own garden – a sentimental and comforting detail that makes the arrangement deeply personal.


Church & Venue Flowers

Beyond individual tributes, I also design florals for churches, chapels, or other funeral venues. From altar arrangements to entrance flowers, these displays create a serene, beautiful setting that honours your loved one and brings comfort to those gathered.


A Compassionate Approach

My own journey into floristry began with grief, when I created a tribute for my mother-in-law. That experience shaped everything I do today. As a community nurse as well as a florist, compassion and care are at the heart of how I work with families. I know these are tender conversations, and I will always take the time to listen, guide, and support you.

Families often tell me they can see the heart I put into my flowers, and for me, that’s the most meaningful part of my work.

There’s no right or wrong when it comes to funeral flowers – it’s about what feels right for you and your family.
