To acheive the biggest show with the least amount of money select large blooms and place them at varying depths. Include a variety of greenery and filler for texture. Because the design is 3-D it appears much larger than it is.

Kathy Green TMF, Judy Gonzalez, and Tony Huffman

Floral design by Tina Stoecker AIFD
Expect the unexpected! Rather than just working vertically, make the most of your horizontal plane as well. Truly exceptional!

This parallel garden spray bar showcases a photo in the middle. Another occasion for this type of design is a wedding reception including a photo of a bride and groom.

This towering tribute features a hand made wreath suspended between curly willow branches.

Tina M Stoecker AIFD, a FTD Master Designer and Master Florist Manager, combines creative design techniques with a common sense approach to produce exquisite floral creations.

Tina Stoecker, AIFD, opened her shop, Designs of the Times Florist, in 1982. Past President of the Southern Region of AIFD, Tina has presented programs at both regional and national levels. In addition, Tina has worked at the Tournament of Roses Parade for Charisma Floats, been a part of the FTD Convention Team and has judged the FTD America's Cup and Southeastern Flower Show.

Using live plants in sympathy tributes is a wonderful way to offer blooms for the service and memories for the family.

A braided springeri swag and parallel floor arrangement made in spray bars place the casket in a comforting garden setting. (Thank you to Pat H Foley Funeral Home for loaning us the casket.)

Add pizzaz and extra value to plants with birch branches. This design includes "Dad" with galax leaves covering cardboard cut-outs.

Unfortunately, not all casket covers are for adults.
