This heartfelt cross, photographed from a slight overhead perspective on plain white, reads as a composed act of remembrance-its foundation a mat of broad, glossy tropical ti leaves that form the arms and central spine with a sculptural, verdant strength. Against that deep-green base, clusters of pale, creamy lisianthus unfold in soft ruffles: layered petals and tender buds suggest both fragility and endurance. Intermingled are tight sprays of small white chrysanthemums, providing luminous points that brighten the heart of the composition. Threaded through these are many tiny, starry lavender flowers-limonium or similar-whose cool, powdery tone creates a gentle contrast, suggesting the hush of twilight or the calm of a quiet chapel. Fine green filler foliage lends air and filigree, separating textures and adding a natural, garden-like feel. Light falls evenly, revealing the waxy sheen of the leaves and the velvety softness of petals, while the overall scent profile is low and green, a subtle comfort rather than a strong perfume. The cross shape and restrained colour story-white, ivory and soft purple set against deep green-make this piece particularly suitable for religious services, wakes, or graveside remembrances near familiar local sites such as St George's Gardens or the riverside walks by Shadwell. It carries an ambience of calm compassion and thoughtful craftsmanship, a visual prayer that honours memory with quiet dignity.

A solemn, elegant floral cross captured from a slight overhead angle against a stark white backdrop, its silhouette clear and beautifully isolated. The structural base is formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves-think Ti leaves-with deep green sheen and visible veins that catch the soft light, their waxy texture lending a serene, protective quality to the piece. At the heart and along the arms of the cross a generous band of fresh blooms softens the foliage: creamy-white lisianthus with ruffled, multi-layered petals and tender closed buds sit beside small, round white spray chrysanthemums that add a gentle brightness and dense texture. Interspersed among them are sprays of pale lavender, star-shaped accent flowers-suggestive of limonium or small asters-introducing a quiet, cool contrast that deepens the arrangement. Fine green filler foliage is woven through the clusters, its delicate fronds providing subtle movement and natural depth. The overall palette of soft ivory, pure white and whispering lavender creates an atmosphere of calm reverence; the scent is faintly green and slightly sweet, as if a hush had fallen across a morning garden. Crafted with careful symmetry, the cross conveys faith and remembrance and is ideally suited for funeral services, memorial altars or graveside tributes in the local area, from Shadwell Basin to nearby St George in the East. The composition balances dignity with tenderness, offering a visual and emotional expression of respect and quiet consolation for those seeking a traditional, understated floral tribute.

    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!
