Orchid

Orchids are exotic, refined flowers that represent eternal love, luxury, beauty, and strength of character. Their elegant appearance and long-lasting blooms make them an increasingly popular choice for funeral tributes in Cheltenham and throughout Gloucestershire. Orchids convey a message of deep respect and admiration for the deceased.

Several types of orchid are used in funeral floristry. Cymbidium orchids, with their large, waxy blooms, are the most common choice for arrangements — available in white, green, pink, and burgundy. Phalaenopsis (moth orchids) offer a graceful, cascading effect perfect for contemporary designs. Singapore orchids add exotic flair with their slender, vibrant blooms.

Orchids bring a sense of luxury and sophistication to funeral arrangements. They are particularly striking in casket sprays, where their architectural blooms create a dramatic focal point. In sprays and sheaves, orchids add an exotic element that elevates the entire design. Even a single orchid stem, placed thoughtfully, can transform an arrangement.

Due to their exotic nature, orchids can be a premium flower choice, but their exceptional longevity and striking beauty justify the investment. Our Cheltenham florists handle orchids with expert care, ensuring each bloom is perfectly positioned to showcase its natural elegance. Whether as the star of the arrangement or a luxurious accent, orchids make a funeral tribute truly memorable.
