A dignified floral cross laid out against a plain white background, viewed slightly from above so the cross geometry and floral focal point are immediately apparent. The composition relies on a verdant foundation of large, glossy tropical leaves - Ti-like foliage with smooth, waxy faces and clear veining - which are layered to form the four arms and central spine of the cross. Nestled along the centre and radiating gently along the arms are clusters of soft linens and pastels: creamy ivory lisianthus with softly frilled petals and a few unopened buds, compact white chrysanthemum or small spray roses lending tenderness and luminosity, and delicate sprays of pale lavender aster or limonium bringing a subtle lift of color and airy texture. Slim sprigs of fine greenery are interspersed to create depth and to soften the transition from leaf to bloom. The light is soft and even, enhancing the contrast between the smooth green leaves and the feathered bloom clusters without dramatic shadows.Emotionally the arrangement is meant to soothe; the glossy green base suggests shelter and continuity while the white and lavender flowers suggest purity, remembrance, and hope. There is a quiet, fresh scent of cut foliage and a gentle floral whisper rather than anything overpowering, suitable for chapel and graveside use. This kind of cross is frequently chosen for memorial services or as a church tribute down the road from Westferry and Manchester Road - a piece that reads as respectful, handcrafted, and appropriate for moments of mourning and reflection. The craftsmanship shows in the balance of texture and tone, producing a consoling touchstone for those gathered to remember a loved one.

A solemn floral cross arranged on a clean white backdrop, seen from a slight overhead perspective so the form reads clearly and simply. The rigid, sacred outline is built from broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti or similar large green foliage - their waxy surfaces and visible veins laid flat to form the horizontal and vertical arms and a pronounced central point. At the intersection and tracing each arm sits a dense, soft cascade of blooms in a restrained palette: creamy ivory lisianthus with ruffled, multi-layered petals and a few still-closed buds, clusters of small, rounded white chrysanthemum or daisy-like blooms adding bright punctuation, and tiny sprays of pale lavender star-shaped flowers, likely limonium or aster, that lift the composition with cool, whispering color. Fine green filler stems are woven lightly through the flowers, giving depth and a subtle natural edge against the sculpted leaf base. Light falls evenly across the piece, highlighting the contrast between the smooth, deep-green leaves and the feathered softness of the flowers without casting sharp shadows.This arrangement reads as a calm, respectful tribute - the green foundation suggests endurance while the white and lavender blooms speak of purity, consolation, and remembrance. To the nose there is a faint, fresh green perfume, not heady but comforting, like cut foliage after a brief rain; to the touch the leaves feel cool and satin-smooth while the petals are tender and papery. As a local florist's design for memorial services or graveside ceremonies on the Isle of Dogs and nearby Canary Wharf, it conveys quiet dignity and hope, suitable for chapel display or placed upon a coffin, offering a composed expression of sympathy and reverence.

    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!
