In this heartfelt sympathy cross, every element is chosen to speak softly of consolation and quiet strength. Photographed from a modestly elevated angle on a clean white field, the cross is unmistakable: wide, glossy green leaves-the kind of Ti foliage we use for structure-are overlapped and aligned so their ribbed veins and waxy surfaces form a solid, verdant armature. Concentrated at the centre and extending along the shafts are clusters of pale lisianthus in white and creamy ivory, their multi-layered petals unfolding with a tender, almost fabric-like softness. Nestled among them are neat sprays of small white chrysanthemum-like blossoms that provide a bright, gentle punctuation, and starlike lavender accents-limonium or tiny asters-that bring cool depth and a breath of colour. The finer green fillers threaded through the bouquet give a willow-soft texture and a sense of natural movement, as if a light breeze has visited the arrangement. Light is even and soft, highlighting the contrast between the glossy leaf planes and the feathery petal edges, creating an almost spiritual radiance without theatricality. As a florist familiar with Kennington, I picture this cross carried into a small chapel service or laid near Kennington Park after a quiet procession, its restrained tones and refined craftsmanship designed to comfort mourners, honour faith traditions, and offer a composed, dignified expression of remembrance.

A solemn, quietly dignified funeral cross arranged on a stark white background and photographed from a gentle overhead angle, the composition isolating every detail so the symbolism reads at a glance. The structural base is built from broad, glossy green tropical leaves-think Ti leaves-with their smooth, waxy surfaces and visible central veins forming the horizontal and vertical arms of the Christian cross. At the intersection and running along the main axis, the design gathers into a dense, thoughtful cluster of pale blooms: soft, ruffled white and creamy lisianthus whose layered petals fold like silk; small, rounded white chrysanthemum or spray-rose heads that add luminous contrast; and sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender or light purple accents-likely limonium or small asters-that give the piece a whisper of cool colour and delicate depth. Finer green filler foliage is threaded through the floral clusters to soften edges and enhance the natural, garden-like texture. Soft, even lighting bathes the arrangement, catching the leaf gloss and lending the white and ivory tones a quiet, reverent glow without harsh shadows. The scent suggested is faintly green and floral rather than heady, a subdued presence that suits wake rooms and chapels. As a working florist in Kennington I imagine this cross standing at the head of a service near Kennington Park or placed gently at a graveside, chosen to convey respect, consolation, and hope-an arrangement that reads as faith, shelter, and enduring remembrance while maintaining an uncluttered, serene visual statement.

    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!
