Airside is a working business park rather than a high street, so it has a slightly different feel to a typical florist tucked between a cafe and a newsagent. The shop front is genuinely open to walk-in customers though, exactly the way a high street florist would be.
Funeral flowers in Ireland fall into two main categories. Formal tributes such as wreaths and sprays are placed at the service itself and are usually ordered by immediate family. Sympathy bouquets are sent to the family home and can be ordered by anyone. This guide covers both, what each one is, who orders what, what flowers are appropriate, how much they cost and how to order them.
Knowing how long different flowers last in a vase takes the guesswork out of ordering and helps you know whether your bouquet is performing as it should. The numbers below are based on flowers arriving fresh and cared for reasonably well. Care makes a real difference and is covered at the end.
Cut flowers wilt faster in summer because heat increases water loss, speeds up bacterial growth in the vase and pushes flowers through their natural lifecycle more quickly. Most of it is preventable once you know what is causing it.
The Irish summer is short and people make the most of it. Garden parties, BBQs, graduations, communions and birthday gatherings all tend to land between June and August, and the right flowers can pull a space together without much effort.
