The cost of white double used for basing has rocketed and this is having an impact on funeral work. Although we might be a long way from seeing it disappear altogether, the traditional white double chrysanthemum-based tribute is slowly giving way to more imaginative designs.

Although it’s helpful to see what other florists are doing that is not always practical, which is when social media can be a useful tool. To get a broader look at new basing ideas and techniques, we put the call out to the Flowerphiles Facebook group and came back with some great designs, tips and ideas.
