You can’t design flowers for your own funeral BUT you can do so for your wedding (Video)

Even if you want to effect life insurance with a beneficiary being yourself, this idea does not work out because you have already died when the payment from insurance is made. You cannot get any money as a beneficiary of life insurance. Since the beneficiary is yourself, nobody other than you cannot get payment from insurance company. Even a family member such as your spouse, children or parents cannot get any money according to my guess work as far as they are not a beneficiary of life insurance.

The same story about funeral floral decorations. It does not make sense to learn funeral floral decorations for the purpose of making funeral flower arrangement for your own funeral. When a funeral ceremony is held, you have already passed away. Therefore you cannot do the floral decoration for your own funeral. In this particular case, the project of DIY does not work out.

However when it comes to wedding floral decorations, story is totally different and you COULD do it for your own wedding. In this case, the project of DIY works out. As a matter of fact, from time to time, we have students who want to learn wedding flower arrangement so that they will make wedding flowers for their own wedding. Actually they take lessons of Wedding Floral Arrangement Basic Course, Wedding Ceremony Arrangement Course and/or Wedding Floral Decoration Advanced Course..

When taking lessons, their fiancé and family members often join classes because they would like to help make floral decorations at a wedding.

What is the purpose and merit of DIY for wedding flowers. They need to earn reasonable flower arranging skills by attending classes before their own wedding. Can they really save the cost of wedding flowers ? Can they make the use of their flower arranging skills after their own wedding is over ?

Answer is Yes. However as you can easily guess, they are obliged to spend an extremely busy day on the day of their wedding because they must spend time not only for preparing for the wedding ceremony but also for working as a floral decorator to make floral decorations for their own wedding. This may be a really really busy project even if a fiancé and family members help make decorations.

The merit and advantage found in this kind of project is that they can use the skill of wedding floral decoration for other people such as family members, friends or relatives who may get married after their own wedding is over. This means if they are interested in offering wedding floral decoration services either as a volunteer or professional wedding decorator, they MAY have opportunities of making the best use of their flower arranging skills. If they are business savvy and familiar with how to do business, they COULD start up their own floral business engaged in wedding floral decorating services.
