blanket
floral decoration
Quick Summary
A blanket can be used to cover or conceal, much like a piece of cloth, and can also refer to a layer of fog. In the context of floral decoration, a "blanket of flowers" is a decorative arrangement, often laid over a casket at a funeral or used in other commemorative displays. These blankets are constructed by stretching burlap over a frame, covering it with fern, and then attaching flower heads that have been wired and fastened to the underside. This contrasts with the general meaning of a blanket as a covering.12
