This heartfelt floral cross, presented on a crisp white background and viewed from just above, reads as a composed prayer in foliage and bloom. Massive, glossy green leaves-reminiscent of Ti leaves-are arranged to form the unmistakable silhouette of the Christian cross; their smooth, dark surfaces and clear veins create a solemn, grounding frame. The floral focus rests at the cross's centre and flows outward along each arm in soft, measured sweeps. Pale lisianthus in shades of pure white and creamy ivory form the principal volume, their soft, ruffled petals folding inward like cupped hands. Interspersed among them are smaller, bright white chrysanthemum-like flowers that give points of clarity, while clouds of tiny lavender or light-purple limonium/asters float through the clusters, offering a gentle chromatic breath and subtle movement. Delicate green filler stems trace slender lines between blooms, integrating the floral mass with the leafy base. Even, soft lighting bathes the piece, enhancing the translucent edges of the lisianthus and the glossy highlights on the leaves, producing a serene, almost candlelit calm despite the plain backdrop. The overall effect is quietly spiritual: a dignified sympathy arrangement suited to funerals, memorial services, and church tributes that seeks to convey hope, continuity and pastoral solace. This is the kind of cross we deliver across Honor Oak and into neighbouring Brockley and Peckham for families asking for understated reverence and dignified remembrance.

A solemn, elegant floral cross photographed against a clean white backdrop and seen from a gentle overhead angle, this tribute reads as a quiet statement of faith and remembrance. The structural base of the cross is formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves-think Ti leaves-with their deep green sheen and visible central veins creating a defined vertical and horizontal frame. At the intersection and running along each arm sits a generous cluster of fresh blooms in a restrained palette of soft white, creamy ivory and pale lavender. The principal flowers are ruffled white lisianthus, their layered petals and half-closed buds offering a soft, pillowy texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, waxy leaves. Interspersed among them are small, rounded white chrysanthemum-like blooms that provide bright clarity and a slightly denser texture, while sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender or light-purple limonium/asters lift the composition with delicate color and airy depth. Fine green filler foliage peeks through the flowers, adding a subtle natural weave between petals and leaves. The arrangement is evenly lit, the soft light catching the glossy leaf surfaces and the fragile translucence of lisianthus petals, suggesting a calm, late-morning serenity. Scent is understated-green, fresh, almost herbaceous-matching the arrangement's restrained dignity. Crafted as a sympathetic floral cross for funerals, memorials or church services, it conveys quiet compassion, hope and the symbolism of the Christian cross. Suitable for services across Honor Oak and neighbouring Forest Hill or Brockley, this presentation communicates respect and thoughtful remembrance without excess, a restorative visual lull in times of mourning.

    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!
