This heartfelt cross is presented against a clean white surface and photographed from just above, so the crafted geometry and textures speak plainly. Large, glossy green tropical leaves create the strong, verdant backbone of the Christian cross; their smooth, reflective surfaces and visible veins give a sheltering, almost wing-like impression. At the cross's centre and flowing along its arms is a generous arrangement of creamy-white lisianthus, their soft, ruffled petals and occasional closed buds creating a faithful softness, while clusters of small white chrysanthemum-style blooms add concentrated brightness and a compact textural counterpoint. Interspersed throughout are sprays of tiny lavender or light purple limonium/aster blossoms that offer delicate colour and a whisper of depth. Fine green filler foliage is woven into each cluster to soften transitions and enhance a natural, hand-assembled look. The overall effect balances the permanence of the glossy foliage with the fleeting grace of the blooms; light rests evenly across the composition, lending a serene, almost spiritual glow. As an experienced florist who works locally around Westcombe Park and near Greenwich Park, I see this design as a dignified sympathy tribute-quiet, consoling, and suitable for church services, wakes, or graveside ceremonies. Flower Delivery Westcombe Park occasionally creates pieces like this for neighbours around Maze Hill and Blackheath, chosen to express solace and enduring remembrance without grand gesture.

A solemn floral cross captured from a slight overhead angle against a stark white background, its shape defined by broad, glossy tropical leaves that form the horizontal and vertical arms. The leaves, reminiscent of Ti or similar waxy foliage, are a deep verdant green with visible veins and a gentle sheen that catches the even studio light, creating a living foundation for the blooms. At the intersection and tracing each arm is a concentrated band of flowers in a tranquil palette of soft white, creamy ivory, and pale lavender. Ruffled white lisianthus with layered petals and a few gently closed buds provide a soft, billowing centre; interspersed among them are small, rounded white chrysanthemum-type blooms that add bright punctures of purity and a more compact textural contrast. Threading through the clusters are sprays of tiny star-shaped lavender or light-purple accents-likely limonium or small asters-that introduce a fragile, airy depth and a quiet pop of colour. Fine green filler foliage, delicate and feathery, is woven into the composition to soften edges and add a natural finish. The overall texture balances the smooth, almost waxy leaves against the tender, feathery blooms, while the gentle scent suggested is faintly green and peaceful rather than sweet. This design reads as a respectful sympathy tribute, carrying a mood of calm remembrance and hope-an arrangement one might choose for a funeral service, chapel, or graveside ceremony in Westcombe Park or nearby Blackheath, where quiet, dignified flowers are often requested to express condolence and steady comfort.

    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!
