This heartfelt floral cross, photographed from a slight overhead perspective on a neutral white ground, balances structure and softness with a skilled florist's touch. The frame is formed from expansive, verdant tropical leaves-think Ti leaves with their smooth, glossy surfaces and clear linear veins-that create a solid, sheltering silhouette for the cross. Concentrated at the central meeting point and flowing along each arm is an abundant composition of creamy ivory and pure white blooms: the main notes are soft lisianthus, their ruffled layers and gently curving petals evoking a feeling of shelter, while clusters of small white chrysanthemums add tightly packed texture and luminous points within the design. Interspersed among these are many tiny, lavender-purple accent flowers-limonium or diminutive asters-that provide cool, airy contrast and a sense of depth. Subtle wisps of finer green foliage are threaded through the clusters, their filigree-like presence softening transitions and lending a natural, lived-in quality. The lighting is even and unobtrusive, accentuating the sheen of the leaves and the tender translucence of the petals, suggesting a calm morning light over West Wickham Common. The arrangement is intended as a respectful sympathy tribute-suitable for funeral chapels, memorial services, or family tributes-expressing consolation, faith and quiet remembrance rather than ostentation.

A solemn floral cross photographed from a slight overhead angle against a plain white background, its clean presentation emphasizing every texture and tone. The cross is built on a foundation of large, glossy tropical leaves - the broad, veined Ti-style foliage laid edge to edge to form the arms and central spine of the Christian symbol. At the intersection and running gently along each arm is a lush, centered spray of soft white and creamy ivory flowers: ruffled lisianthus with their layered, delicate petals and unopened buds, interspersed with small, rounded white chrysanthemums that read like soft points of light. Woven through those pale blooms are sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender-purple accent flowers-limonium or small asters-that add a whisper of cool colour and visual depth. Fine green filler foliage threads through the clusters, its slender stems and tiny leaves giving a natural, airy finish against the heavier waxy leaves beneath. The lighting is soft and even, a neutral daylight that catches the sheen on the leaves without casting strong shadows, lending the composition a quiet, reflective radiance. The scent would be faintly green and powdery rather than floral-heavy, suited to the arrangement's purpose: a dignified sympathy tribute for funeral, wake, or graveside, conveying peace and remembrance. As a local West Wickham floral piece, it would sit respectfully beside programs at a nearby service or crematorium, offering a gentle, crafted expression of condolence and hope for those who see or touch it.

    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!
