This heartfelt cross is composed to speak of both shelter and solace: broad, lustrous leaves form the solid framework while a cluster of pale blooms gathers at the heart to offer tenderness. The dark, waxy tropical leaves-arranged to reveal their veins and curved edges-define the cross's arms and central point with architectural clarity, their green surface catching even, soft light that gives the piece a quiet glow. At the cross's centre a generous grouping of ivory and soft white lisianthus provides plush, ruffled texture, complemented by smaller white spray chrysanthemums that introduce crisp highlights. Interwoven throughout are delicate sprays of light lavender flowers, likely limonium or petite asters, whose star-shaped blooms create a gentle dusting of cool purple that deepens the visual rhythm without overwhelming the serenity. Thin filler foliage and tiny buds nestle between flowers, creating nuanced depth and a sense of natural cohesion. Viewed from a slight overhead angle against a plain white field, the arrangement reads as a composed, reverent tribute - ideal for a funeral chapel, graveside service or church memorial. As an experienced florist working in and around Seven Sisters and Finsbury Park, I often craft such crosses for families seeking a dignified, understated expression of remembrance; this piece would be especially suited for services on Seven Sisters Road or at local community chapels where calm, traditional designs are requested.

A solemn, elegant funeral cross laid flat against a stark white background and photographed from a slight overhead angle, its clean presentation emphasizing the symbol's quiet dignity. The structural base is formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves-think Ti or similar large, waxy foliage-arranged with care so the veins and smooth surfaces of each leaf trace the arms and central shaft of a classic Christian cross. Centered at the intersection and flowing gently along each arm is a generous cluster of soft, creamy-white lisianthus with their ruffled, multi-layered petals and unopened buds, contrasted by small, bright white daisy-like spray chrysanthemums that lend clarity and delicate texture. Interspersed throughout are fine sprays of pale lavender, possibly limonium or tiny asters, whose starry shapes introduce a whisper of purple that deepens the arrangement's calm palette. Slender green filler foliage peeks between blooms, adding natural definition without stealing the focus. The light is even and diffused, highlighting the subtle sheen of the leaves and the tender translucence of petals, while the overall scent would be faintly green and floral rather than overpowering. This is a traditional sympathy piece meant to convey reverence, consolation and enduring remembrance for a graveside, funeral service or placed by a church altar. As a local florist familiar with the area around Seven Sisters and nearby Finsbury Park, I picture this cross delivered with care to chapels along Seven Sisters Road or memorial services on Tottenham High Road, its tranquil colours and measured texture offering a respectful expression of love and farewell.

    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!
