Assemble the letters by clipping or sliding them onto the bar. Make sure enough space is left between the letters for flowering. Add the end panels to the bar firmly. Chamfer the edges of the letters slightly to give a bevelled look. This will help to achieve a good rounded shape when the letters are flowered. Take to the sink and pour water over the letters, do not over soak as the tribute will become too heavy.

Soak two OASIS® NAYLORBASE® LE BUMP® and position on the two end letters by screwing firmly into the floral foam. Cut the ends of the yellow Chrysanthemum stems on a slant to ensure easy insertion into the floral foam. The Chrysanthemum stems should be approximately 4cm (1 ½ “) in length. Start by adding the outer edge of Chrysanthemum to the sides of the floral foam making sure they sit over the lip to hide the base. Add a double row of single yellow Chrysanthemums first around each letter and then finish with a single row of white Chrysanthemums. The finished flowered base should look even and slightly domed with no gaps between the flowers. Make sure the letters have a space between each one for easy reading.

Add a circle of Leatherleaf around the base of each OASIS® NAYLORBASE® LE BUMP®. Ensure the foliage sits flush onto the base flowers. Insert the focal Rose into the centre of the OASIS® NAYLORBASE® LE BUMP®, and then continue to add the other focal Roses. Make the outline of the sprays with white Freesia and Astrantia. Fill in and recess Dianthus barbatus to give the design depth. Ensure all stems are cut diagonally and firmly anchored into the floral foam. Finish by linking the two sprays with a garland of Ivy. Spray well and add an OASIS® Floral Elegance memorial card, protected by a cellophane sleeve to one of the sprays using a Card Holder.
