This floral cross, photographed against a plain white field from a slight overhead viewpoint, balances structure and tenderness in equal measure. Large, lustrous green leaves form the architectural base - their smooth, waxy surfaces and pronounced veins arranged to define the arms, intersection and central axis of the cross with calm precision. Concentrated where the two axes meet and flowing along each arm are clusters of pale blooms: soft, ruffled lisianthus in white and creamy ivory create a feeling of quiet purity, complemented by compact white chrysanthemum-like flowers that bring gentle brightness and textural contrast. Delicate sprays of pale lavender or lilac tiny flowers - likely limonium or small asters - mingle through the whites, offering a faint, cool punctuation that deepens the palette. Fine green foliage is woven through the composition, adding breath and a soft halo where petals meet leaf. The photograph's soft, even lighting highlights petal translucence and leaf sheen, while the slight overhead angle allows the cross shape to read clearly and respectfully. The aroma is subtle and green, a hush of stem and leaf, reinforcing the arrangement's purpose as a reserved and comforting tribute. Designed with funeral and memorial services in mind, this cross speaks of faith, remembrance and gentle consolation. As a piece intended for the Crystal Palace community - from services at local churches to quiet graveside ceremonies near Crystal Palace Park or along Westow Hill - it embodies a poised, compassionate expression of sympathy and enduring memory.

A solemn, elegant floral cross pictured against a crisp white background and seen from a gentle overhead angle, offering a calm, isolated view of the tribute. The cross is carefully constructed from broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti or similar large green foliage - their waxy surfaces and distinct veins laid flat to form the vertical and horizontal arms and a strong central spine. At the intersection and reaching along each arm a generous cluster of fresh blooms gathers: soft, ruffled white and creamy lisianthus open like delicate rosettes, paired with small, rounded white chrysanthemum-type flowers that add bright, cushiony texture. Sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender or pale purple accents - likely limonium or small asters - thread through the white flowers, offering a gentle cool contrast against the warm ivory tones. Fine green filler foliage is woven throughout, giving the clusters depth and a lightly feathery edge where blossoms meet the smooth leaf base. The lighting is soft and even, the slight overhead perspective catching the sheen of the leaves and the layered petals, while the overall palette - glossy greens, pure whites and whisper-lilac - creates a mood of quiet reverence. The scent would be faint and green, more of leaf and fresh-cut stems than heady perfume, reinforcing a sense of dignity and restraint. As a sympathy piece intended for a funeral, memorial service or graveside, this cross conveys respect, consolation and a hope for peace. Locally crafted for Crystal Palace families, it reads as a careful, traditional tribute suited to services near Crystal Palace Park, Anerley or Upper Norwood.

    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!
