Abstract: A decorative assembly for a floral grouping comprising a floral holding material and a sheet of material. The floral holding material is a shape-sustaining support member having an open upper end, an open lower end and a peripheral sidewall defining an internal chamber extending between the open upper end and the close lower end. A plurality fo apertures are provided in the peripheral sidewall of the floral holding material, each aperture adapted to receive a stem portion of a floral grouping. The sheet of material is extended about a portion of the floral holding material to form a decorative cover and the decorative cover cooperates with the shape-sustaining support member to define a reservoir for confining a liquid and a securing element secures the decorative cover about the shape-sustaining support member to hold the decorative cover about the floral holding material.

Abstract: A decorative assembly having a shape-sustaining support member and a decorative cover. The shape-sustaining support member defines an internal chamber and has a plurality of pleats extending from an open upper end and terminating a distance from an open lower end thereof. The shape-sustaining support member is constructed of a semi-circular sheet of flexible material having a plurality of score lines extending radially from a centrally disposed recess. When the sheet of flexible material is formed into the shape-sustaining support member, the score lines assist the formation of the pleats. The decorative cover is formed from a sheet of fluid impermeable material disposed about the shape-sustaining support member. The decorative cover cooperates with the internal chamber of the shape-sustaining support member to define a reservoir for confining liquid when the decorative cover is disposed about the shape-sustaining support member.
