Brother Wreath: Blue and White Funeral Flower Tribute

The flowers in this brother wreath

The design brings together white carnations, blue iris, white daisies and blue lisianthus, with a little green foliage that is more than decorative, set all the way round the ring so the circle looks full from every side. This is an open ring rather than a based wreath, where a ring of laurel and moss carries a single cluster on top. Blue and white is a quiet, steady colour scheme that many families choose for a man, and it sits well beside darker funeral arrangements on the day. In the old language of flowers, the iris stood for faith and hope and the daisy for loyalty, so the mix says a good deal without any words.

The circle itself carries the meaning: it has no beginning and no end, a symbol of eternal life and of love that goes on after a loved one has died. It is displayed flat, usually beside or on the coffin, and after the service many families lay it on the grave or leave it at the crematorium's garden of remembrance, where it becomes a quiet memorial for a few more days.

Sizes and prices of the floral tribute

Choose from three sizes. Standard is £60.49, Preferred is £71.49 and Elegant is £82.49. The larger sizes keep the same design and add more stems of the same flowers, so the piece looks fuller and more generous. If one flower isn't available that week because of seasonal availability, our florists may substitute a bloom of the same colour and style, of equal or greater value, so the look stays true to the photo.

Choosing funeral flowers that feel like him

There is no rule for what to send. Some people pick flowers that reflect something he loved, such as the sea; others want something simple and dignified, and this blue and white design suits both. If he preferred deep reds, the Red Rose Funeral Sheaf or a coffin spray of red roses may feel closer to him, and if you would like matching tributes in these shades, see our blue and white funeral flowers. Siblings often share the cost of one larger funeral tribute and put all their names on the card, while nephews, nieces and friends send a smaller posy or a sheaf. What makes the flowers meaningful is that you chose them to honour him.

Some shops sell a letter tribute that spells BROTHER or BRO, made from white chrysanthemums, or an artificial tribute wreath in silk, but we don't make those: every piece we sell is fresh and made to order by a local florist. You can see all our brother funeral flowers together, or find softer pink and purple designs among our funeral wreaths.

How to personalise the tribute

Every tribute comes with a card for your message. There is no ribbon or sash on this design, so the card is where you make it personal, and many people keep a copy as a keepsake. A few honest words are enough: "To my dear brother, always in my heart", "Forever missed, never forgotten", or simply your names and "with love". A shared memory, a nickname or a line he used to say can mean more than a long verse, and religious words are fine if they fit his faith. Our guide on what to write on funeral flowers has more ideas for when you are grieving and the words won't come.

Other funeral flowers for the same service

A tribute from a brother or sister often sits beside the main coffin flowers, which the closest family usually choose. If no one has ordered those yet, our coffin sprays include a blue and white design that pairs well with this one. Friends and colleagues who want to send something smaller can choose a funeral spray, a sheaf tied with stems on show, or a posy. At the graveside, some mourners also lay a single funeral rose of their own. For the family home, a basket arrangement or a bouquet tends to last longer than the day itself and is a kind way to show you are thinking of them.

Local delivery before the service

Give us the address of the funeral home, the church or the family house and the date of the service. A local florist will arrange the flowers and take them there by hand. Deliveries run Monday to Saturday, from tomorrow onwards, but not on Sundays or bank holidays, and AB10 postcodes are outside our area. Delivery is one charge of £12.49 per order to one address, added at checkout. Choose a delivery day before the service so the tribute arrives in good time.

Questions before you order

What flowers are in this design?

White carnations, blue iris, white daisies and blue lisianthus, arranged in a full circle of fresh flowers.

How much does it cost?

Standard costs £60.49, Preferred £71.49 and Elegant £82.49, plus £12.49 delivery per order.

When do I need to order it by?

Order at least a day before the funeral, and earlier if you can. The first delivery day we offer is tomorrow, and deliveries run Monday to Saturday.

Can I change the flowers?

We don't make a bespoke arrangement; the florist makes this design as described, in the size you choose. If you would like something different, each design in our shop lists its own flowers.

Can I send flowers to the family home as well?

Yes. For the family of the deceased, and for those who mourn at home, a sympathy bouquet or a basket is a gentle way to send your condolences. Some include lilies, which are toxic to cats. If it goes to a different address, it is a separate order with its own delivery charge.
