ABSTRACT:
A decorative assembly for a floral grouping which includes a floral holding material and a sheet of fluid impermeable material disposed about the floral holding material. The floral holding material is a preformed shape-sustaining support member which is moveable between an expanded condition and a flattened condition. In the expanded condition the preformed shape-sustaining support member as an open upper end, an open lower end, a peripheral sidewall defining an internal chamber extending between the open upper end and the open lower end thereof and a groove disposed circumferentially about the peripheral sidewall. The peripheral sidewall is provided with creases to facilitate movement of the preformed shape-sustaining support member between the expanding condition and the flattened condition. To stabilize the preformed shape-sustaining support member in the expanded condition, a stabilizing member is positioned within the groove formed in the peripheral sidewall of the preformed shape-sustaining support member for stabilizing and maintaining the preformed shape-sustaining support member in the expanded condition. A securing element is employed to secure the decorative cover formed from the sheet of fluid impermeable material about the preformed shape-sustaining support member.
