In this tender cross arrangement every material is chosen to speak of comfort and quiet strength. The form is constructed from broad, glossy tropical leaves whose deep-green, waxed surfaces and linear veins are arranged to read unmistakably as a cross when viewed from the slight overhead angle used here. Nestled at the heart and trailing outward along each arm are abundant sprays of soft white and creamy lisianthus - their many-layered, ruffled petals unfolding like gentle breaths - set against clusters of small, bright white chrysanthemum-like blooms that add a clean, reassuring clarity. Delicate touches of lavender or pale purple limonium/aster lift the palette, their tiny, starry florets creating a whisper of contrast and a sense of depth. Fine green filler foliage is threaded through the bouquets, giving a feathery, natural transition from the dense floral centre to the leafy base. The lighting is even and serene, lending a muted radiance to the whites and a subtle sheen to the leaves; the faint, green-tinged scent of fresh foliage and blossom suggests a calm garden morning. This piece reads as a dignified memorial tribute - suitable for funeral services, wakes or graveside remembrance across Westcombe Park and the surrounding Greenwich and Blackheath communities - and is crafted to offer an uplifting, compassionate presence, embodying faith, remembrance and the quiet hope of eternal peace.

A solemn, elegant floral cross photographed against a pristine white background from a slight overhead angle so every line of the tribute reads with clarity. The structural base is a lush carpet of large, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti leaves - their deep green, waxy surfaces and visible veins forming the horizontal and vertical arms of the Christian cross. At the centre and running gently along each arm, clusters of soft white and creamy ivory blooms are densely gathered: ruffled lisianthus with layered, papery petals and tight buds sit beside small, rounded white chrysanthemum-like flowers that catch the light and add shimmering points of brightness. Scattered through those pale blooms are sprays of tiny, starry lavender-purple accents - limonium or aster - which give a delicate lift of colour and a sense of depth without overwhelming the overall tone. Fine green filler foliage is threaded through the clusters, adding texture and a natural softness where flower meets leaf. The lighting is even and quiet, a soft morning light that brings out the sheen on the leaves and the feathered edges of the lisianthus, while a barely-there green scent - fresh and calming - seems to hover. This arrangement reads as a dignified sympathy tribute, designed for a funeral service, graveside or church ceremony in and around Westcombe Park and neighbouring Greenwich or Blackheath; its shape speaks of faith and eternal peace while the palette conveys comfort and quiet remembrance. The craftsmanship is restrained and respectful, a composition meant to offer solace and a graceful, enduring expression of condolence.

    I was worried that the flowers wouldn't be delivered on time thus I called Handy Flowers to check the progress of my order. They contacted the couriers and told me when the flowers were expected to be delivered. Very professional service!
