White Cross Funeral Tribute

Time: 16 minutes and 52 seconds | Season: All Year Round (and adapted to different colour palettes)

A white cross funeral tribute is a traditional and heartfelt way to honor a loved one. Symbolizing peace, purity, and remembrance, this floral tribute is often chosen for funeral services, memorials, and religious ceremonies.

In this tutorial, we guide you step by step on how to create a beautiful, professional white cross arrangement, incorporating fresh flowers and foliage to achieve a meaningful and elegant design. The composition incorporates popular flower varieties and greenery including roses, spray roses, spray carnations, eucalyptus, asparagus and skimmia.

For a fuller and more structured design, start with larger focal flowers such as roses or chrysanthemums to outline the cross shape. Then, fill in with smaller blooms and textured greenery to create depth and a polished, seamless finish. Add flowers, such as spray carnations to create recession on the tribute to ensure you can see each bloom to its fullest.
