In this reverent arrangement, the cross is both sculptural and tender, captured from a slight overhead angle on a plain white field so every texture and hue reads clearly. The foundational silhouette is formed from long, glossy green tropical leaves-their broad planes and visible veins creating a durable, almost architectural framework for the floral work. At the heart and extending along the arms sit clusters of creamy ivory and pure white lisianthus, their soft, ruffled layers suggesting warmth and purity. Interspersed among them are small white daisy-like chrysanthemums, compact and bright, which catch the eye and lift the composition. Delicate sprays of pale lavender limonium or tiny asters nestle throughout, offering soft, cooling notes of colour that speak of peaceful memory. Wisps of finer green foliage weave through the clusters, introducing subtle movement and a natural, garden-like softness against the leaves' waxy sheen. The gentle, even light in the photograph highlights both the satiny petals and the leaf surfaces, creating a serene, almost spiritual radiance. As a florist I imagine this piece placed with care at a church service or graveside in Malden Rushett or nearby parishes, a composed symbol of faith and lasting remembrance that balances strength and tenderness-an arrangement designed to comfort those gathered and to honour a life with calm dignity.

A solemn, elegant funeral cross photographed from a gentle overhead angle against a stark white backdrop, the composition deliberately isolated to emphasize form and texture. The cross is structured from broad, glossy green tropical leaves-think Ti leaves-laid edge to edge so their prominent veins and waxy surfaces form the strong horizontal and vertical arms. At the intersection and radiating along each arm is a dense, carefully worked carpet of blooms in a tranquil palette of soft white, creamy ivory, and pale lavender. The dominant flowers are ruffled lisianthus in creamy white, their multi-layered petals folding like silk; these are punctuated by small, rounded white spray chrysanthemums or miniature roses that add bright points of light and gentle, familiar texture. Scattered through the clusters are sprays of tiny lavender star-shaped flowers-limonium or small asters-whose delicate, papery petals lift the arrangement with subtle cool colour. Fine green filler foliage is woven between the blooms, softening edges and adding natural depth. The lighting is even and soft, catching the sheen of leaves and revealing the velvety centers of the lisianthus without harsh shadows, creating a mood of quiet reflection. The overall impression is one of respectful dignity: the cross symbol speaks plainly of faith and remembrance, while the gentle lavender notes and creamy whites suggest peace and consolation. This is the kind of tribute chosen for services and graveside ceremonies around Malden Rushett, Chessington, and neighbouring communities when families seek a restrained, comforting expression of sympathy.

    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!
