Memorial Arrangement in a Triple-Cylinder Pottery Vase

A set of three nested pottery cylinders (8.5", 7.5", 6.5") in blues calls for a cohesive, meaningful design.

Suggested Design

• Tallest cylinder: Curly willow or flowering plum branch (3–4 ft) for height and grace.
• Middle cylinder: Heather heart—wire two sunset heather stems into a heart shape. Attach a small photo frame with ribbon at the heart's base.
• Shortest cylinder: Single large open rose (cream or pale pink) at the same height as the photo—a visual echo.

Sourcing Sunset Heather

Available at floral wholesalers spring–early summer. If unavailable, substitute with wired silk heather, forsythia, or spirea—any flexible, small-leaf branch that bends without snapping.

Assembly Tips

• Use dry foam in each cylinder (no water needed for branches/silk).
• Cover foam with sheet moss.
• Secure heart with floral wire to a pick inserted in foam.

This trio tells a story: life (willow), love (heart + photo), remembrance (rose).
