This floral cross, captured on a stark white backdrop from a slightly raised angle, combines horticultural structure with gentle floral poetry. The sculptural framework is formed from large, vivid green tropical leaves - glossy, thick and veined - arranged with practiced hands to create clean, well-defined horizontal and vertical arms. The floral emphasis gathers at the cross's centre and extends outward along each limb: creamy ivory lisianthus take prominence, their petals layered and soft like small rosettes, complemented by clusters of compact white spray chrysanthemums that add density and luminous points across the composition. Interwoven among the pale tones are many tiny lavender-purple accents, likely limonium or fine asters, whose star-like florets lend depth and an understated coolness to the palette. Subtle green filler foliage threads through the flowers, offering filigreed texture against the bolder leaf planes and enhancing the sense of natural shelter. Light falls evenly over the piece, rendering the leaves with a gentle sheen and the blossoms with transparent delicacy; the imagined scent is muted and green, supporting a mood of quiet reflection. In Silvertown we often place arrangements like this at local church memorials, civic tribute services by the Royal Victoria Dock, or graveside in nearby cemeteries - an arrangement chosen for its dignity and symbolism, meant to convey consolation, steadfast faith, and the hush of remembered love.

A solemn floral cross photographed on a clean white background and seen from a soft overhead angle, this tribute rests on a foundation of broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti leaves - whose deep green, waxy surfaces and visible veins form the defined arms and central shaft of the Christian cross. The densest floral work sits at the intersection and runs gently along each arm: clusters of creamy-white lisianthus with their ruffled, multi-layered petals and closed buds provide a soft, almost fabric-like texture, while compact white spray chrysanthemums or miniature roses add round brightness and a gentle bounce of light across the surface. Interspersed through the pale blooms are sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender-purple flowers - likely limonium or small asters - that give a subtle cool contrast and a whisper of colour without disturbing the overall calm. Finer green filler foliage peeks through the clusters, lending delicate texture and anchoring the blooms to the leafy base. The arrangement is lit evenly, the soft light highlighting the satin sheen of the leaves and the tender translucence of the petals, suggesting a quiet, reflective mood suited to a funeral chapel, wake, or graveside service. Sense elements are intentional: the scent would be faint and green, the tactile impression a mix of smooth, waxy leaves and feather-soft blooms. As a local florist in Silvertown I often place similar crosses for services at nearby Royal Victoria Dock or Pontoon Dock chapels; the design reads as an expression of reverence and hope, a dignified emblem of remembrance and peace for family and friends to gather around.

    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!
