This floral cross is composed with a gentle restraint that reads as both comforting and reverent. Photographed against a plain white backdrop from a slight overhead angle, the cross's outline is crisp and the craftsmanship obvious: broad, lustrous green leaves-the kind of tropical foliage florists use for a glossy, uniform base-are overlapped to form the vertical and horizontal arms, their surfaces catching a soft, even light that highlights each vein. Nestled at the intersection and trailing along the arms are clusters of tender lisianthus in pale cream and pure white; their layered, papery petals create a feeling of quiet grace. Small white chrysanthemums add compact texture and points of light, while sprays of powdery-lavender aster or limonium introduce a delicate wash of purple that lifts the palette without overpowering it. Fine green fillers slip between blooms, giving the composition a natural flow and preventing visual hardness at the edges. Emotionally the piece reads as a tactile benediction: the glossy leaves suggest shelter and permanence, the soft blooms imply fleeting beauty and solace. I can imagine this cross resting near a chapel altar in Worcester Park or placed by a graveside service in nearby Motspur Park, offering a gentle, composed expression of sympathy and faith. The scent is understated-green and slightly floral-so the arrangement supports reflection rather than distraction, and the overall design communicates compassion, quiet strength and the hands-on care of an experienced local florist.

A solemn floral cross photographed from a slight overhead angle against a crisp white background, the image emphasising the clean silhouette of the Christian symbol. The structural base is formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti or similar waxy green foliage - layered with care so the veins and smooth surfaces catch a soft, even light. Centered where the arms meet is a generous cluster of pale, ruffled lisianthus in creamy ivory and soft white, their layered petals opening like gentle waves. Interspersed among them are small, rounded white chrysanthemums that add brightness and a compact texture, while sprays of tiny lavender-hued asters or limonium give a delicate dusting of cool purple tones that deepen the composition. Finer green filler stems weave through the blooms, softening edges and adding subtle depth. The overall palette is peaceful: cool greens, warm ivories and whispery lavenders that together convey calm and respect. The arrangement's craftsmanship is evident in the balanced density of flowers at the intersection and the gradual tapering along each arm, creating a dignified, contemplative presence suitable for funerals, memorial services, or church tributes. Imagine this piece placed near the lectern at a graveside service in Worcester Park, or beside a framed photograph at a wake in a local community hall - it reads as a quiet expression of remembrance, designed to comfort and to honour. The tactile contrast between waxy leaves and soft, papery petals, and the faint, green-tinged scent of fresh foliage, completes the composition's gentle, reverent mood.

    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!
