SPRAYS/SHEAVES
Captured on a plain white background, this elongated sympathy spray appears calm and composed, as though gently resting before being placed beside a casket or memorial table. The arrangement sweeps from left to right in a tapered line, built around a lush gathering of deep red blooms at its centre. Roses with velvety petals, some still partially closed, mingle with strong-headed red gerbera daisies and layered carnations, together forming a dense heart of colour that symbolises enduring love and respect. Between these crimson flowers, clusters of lime-green chrysanthemum pompons catch the eye, their round, button-like forms bringing a fresh, contemporary feel and a sense of gentle brightness, echoing the small green spaces tucked between Shadwell's streets and the nearby Thames Path. Scattered petite white blooms, similar to tiny daisies or gypsophila, introduce a delicate, airy touch that lightens the overall effect. Encircling the flowers, a generous frame of foliage provides balance and structure: broad, glossy dark leaves offer a solid, grounding backdrop, while lacy fern fronds and other textured greens soften the outline. On the lower right, several long, tapered leaves fan outward, accentuating the spray's elegant, flowing shape. At the upper left, an upright cluster of tall green stems is bound neatly together, one broad leaf wrapped around the base with a sculptural flair. Designed in the style of an experienced Shadwell florist, this tribute feels both traditional and quietly modern, ideal for honouring a loved one at a funeral service, crematorium chapel, or intimate remembrance gathering in the local East London area.

An intimate, classic spray unfolds in pure white and lively greens, captured with the same soft grey background and broad sense of calm. At the heart, cranberry white roses mingle with cloudlike hydrangeas, their generous heads opening in stages to reveal layers of petal texture. Surrounding them, smaller white blooms-lisianthus and other lilylike whites-add air and grace, while hues of green enliven the scene. The bouquet feels open, inviting, and quietly luxurious, an ideal gesture for marking a poignant occasion with grace, as if the spring garden itself were arranged by hand. The greens are a chorus of contrasts: feathery ferns drift through the lower zones for motion; eucalyptus leaves provide a silvery underside and gentle scent; and glossy ruscus frames the composition with quiet drama. A slim white frame sits across the center, bearing the display label. Inside, 'Florist Choice' sweeps in elegant script, followed by a clean 'TODAY' in uppercase sans serif, and beneath it a bold '?100'. The effect is contemporary and premium: a 'Florist Choice' spray that promises top-tier design with a personal touch. For clients in East London, this arrangement embodies a refined, versatile option for sympathy flowers, anniversaries, or sophisticated home decor. Florist Shadwell offers this piece with dependable service and same-day delivery across Shadwell, Whitechapel, Stepney, and nearby wards, ensuring freshness and punctual arrival for thoughtful moments.

Bathed in soft morning light, this tranquil white spray feels like a breath of quiet air gathered from a well-tended garden. The arrangement stacks plush hydrangea beside velvety white roses, their petals ranging from tight buds to fully opened blooms, while a gentle ribbon of astrantia threads through as if drawn by a careful hand. A line of slender foliage - feathery, curling, and variegated - spills over the edge, and the whole composition rests on a bed of deep green leaves that give it depth and warmth. The textures are layered and tactile, from the velvety petals to the crisp, spiky heads of Nigella with their distinctive green centers. Soft dew seems to linger on a petal edge, catching light and hinting at morning freshness. In the middle, a clean white square frames the call to action: Florist Choice Today, above a large bold 200 in sans serif type, so the eye moves naturally from story to purchase. The background remains muted and gentle, letting the flowers breathe. For residents of Shadwell seeking a premium, wearable tribute or a striking centerpiece for a ceremony, this spray speaks of calm refinement and thoughtful design. Deliveries are available across Shadwell and nearby wards, with Florist Shadwell ensuring freshness and reliable service when you need it most.

Displayed against a clean, uncluttered white background, this sympathy spray stretches diagonally like a soft brushstroke, fuller at the top section and narrowing gracefully towards the lower point. White oriental lilies are the undeniable focal flowers, with several large blooms fully open, their star-like petals unfurling around pale pistils and delicate golden pollen, while others remain in elongated buds, still smooth and closed. Among and around these lilies, lisianthus stems offer smaller, ruffled cups of white, each petal brushed at the very edges with a suggestion of lavender, adding the quietest tone of colour, reminiscent of evening light slipping down over the Thames near Shadwell Pier. Sprays of tightly closed lisianthus buds are threaded through the design, providing small, rounded forms that keep the eye moving gently along the spray's length. Beneath this ensemble, a sophisticated layer of foliage provides both support and shape: wide, glossy leaves create a dark green foundation, some manipulated into precise curls and loops to bring structure and a contemporary twist, while slender, feather-like fronds extend from the sides, adding softness and flow. The impression is of a cool, calm composition, carefully balanced between formality and natural ease, as one might see at a memorial service in a local Shadwell chapel or community hall. The textures shift from the satin of the lily petals to the more delicate lisianthus and the firm, waxy greens, inviting an imagined touch. Overall, the arrangement conveys a sense of respectful farewell and gentle remembrance, well suited to honouring a loved one from the Shadwell area with quiet elegance.

A dignified red and green casket spray is shown against a clear white background, its elongated teardrop form flowing diagonally from the upper left down to a soft, trailing tip at the lower right. The upper section of the arrangement is densely layered with velvety, deep red roses, their fully open blooms revealing plush, spiralled petals that invite the touch. Nestled among them are abundant red spray carnations and ruffled carnations, their fringed, feather-like petals bringing an intricate texture that contrasts beautifully with the smoothness of the roses. Together, these flowers create a deep crimson tapestry that speaks of love, honour, and quiet grief. Encircling and underpinning the blooms is a generous mix of greenery. Broad, glossy leaves in a dark evergreen shade lend structure and shape, outlining the sweeping profile of the spray. Interspersed throughout, round, silvery eucalyptus leaves introduce a soft, muted green-grey that tempers the richness of the reds and gives the arrangement a calm, slightly misty appearance. From the tapering end, fine tendrils of light green trailing foliage extend outward and downward, adding a sense of gentle movement, as though the spray is slowly cascading like water. The composition feels composed yet natural, akin to the peaceful pause you might find in a quiet Shadwell church or community hall away from the hum of Commercial Road and the DLR tracks. It is a thoughtful sympathy tribute, perfectly suited for a funeral or memorial service in the Shadwell area, offering a floral expression of support, remembrance, and the unspoken warmth shared among family and friends as they say farewell.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
Within Florist Shadwell's workshop in East London, this abundant Florist Choice Spray reads like a quiet testament of empathy. The ivory roses, pristine and velvety, anchor the arrangement, while white lisianthus and freesia add purity and fragrance. Surrounding them, purples range from deep, regal lisianthus to soft lavender-tinted eustoma and freesia, with tall spikes of purple veronica lending architectural height. Lavender limonium clusters hint at delicate texture, and the greenery-fern fronds and glossy leaves-frames the bouquet with a lush, natural curve. The palette of whites, purples, and greens radiates calm dignity, a look that speaks of remembrance and grace. The design remains generous in scale, ideal for a funeral spray or a large sympathy tribute, yet balanced with light, airy spaces that keep the eye moving. Across the center, a white rectangle overlays the image, carrying Florist CHOICE SPRAY in contrasting type-Florist in script, CHOICE SPRAY in uppercase-and the minimal price ?300 below. This piece signals premium quality and thoughtful curation, made to convey care in moments of loss. Florist Shadwell serves families across Shadwell and neighbouring areas, offering same-day delivery and a trusted, local touch for memorial occasions, celebrations of life, or support for those in need of comforting beauty during difficult days.

This image presents a thoughtfully arranged sympathy sheaf set against a clean, white background, allowing its colours and textures to take centre stage. The arrangement stretches from the top left to the bottom right, forming a gentle, diagonal teardrop shape that suggests both movement and stillness, like a final bow of respect. Dominating the centre are generous Stargazer lilies, their large, open blooms glowing in rich fuchsia-pink with sharply defined white edges and dark speckles that speak of strong emotion and treasured memories. Some of the lilies remain as graceful green and pink buds, lending a sense of unfolding stories. Around them are placed bright magenta gerbera daisies, adding a vivid, contemporary touch, while white roses-some in tight buds, others just beginning to open-and soft white carnations create a soothing, peaceful contrast. Tiny white daisy-like blossoms are sprinkled delicately through the arrangement, adding visual lightness and intricate detail. Encasing the flowers is a lush collar of foliage: wide, glossy leaves give body and structure, feathery ferns reach outwards in gentle fronds, and long, narrow leaves arc and trail towards the bottom right, emphasising the elongated, cascading line. The bound stems at the upper left show skilled handwork, typical of a caring local florist such as Florist Shadwell, familiar with the needs of families in the area. The overall mood is reverent yet comforting, ideal for resting alongside a casket, placing by a memorial, or sending as a condolence tribute to homes and funeral venues across Shadwell, from the streets off Commercial Road down towards the Thames. It conveys sympathy, remembrance, and quiet support through its careful balance of colour and form.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
This large funeral spray, photographed on a crisp white background, is designed in a graceful teardrop shape and would suit a thoughtful memorial gathering in Shadwell or the surrounding East London neighbourhoods. The arrangement is richly filled with pastel flowers, dominated by soft pink roses that vary from tight, hopeful buds to fully open blooms showing off their layered, velvety petals. Their colours range from the palest blush to a slightly deeper rose tone, providing subtle depth and warmth throughout the design. Interspersed between the roses are tufts of pristine white carnations or spray carnations, each head made up of delicate, ruffled petals that create a plush, cloud-like texture and bring light into the heart of the spray. Surrounding and supporting the flowers is an abundant mix of greenery. Broad, glossy dark green leaves, likely salal or camellia, form a strong, structured base that anchors the piece and shapes its elongated, casket-style silhouette. Threaded throughout are rounded eucalyptus leaves in a soft, silvery green, their muted tone reminiscent of the gentle haze that sometimes settles over the Shadwell Basin on still mornings. Along the tapered right-hand edge, fine strands of trailing dark green ruscus extend outward and slightly downward, adding a natural, cascading finish that suggests a sense of gentle release. The overall mood is one of calm, respectful remembrance, the pastel palette chosen to comfort rather than overwhelm. This arrangement would rest beautifully on a casket or stand as a focal tribute near the lectern of a Shadwell service, offering a composed, floral expression of love and farewell.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00

Displayed against a crisp white background, this dignified sympathy spray creates a gentle diagonal line, flowing from a fuller top toward a tapered lower right corner. The eye is first drawn to the majestic white lilies that anchor the centre, their wide, trumpet-shaped blooms open in a gesture of calm and reverence. A few elongated buds remain closed, rising above the main cluster like quiet sentinels. Nestled among the lilies are clusters of ivory and cream roses, some with petals still tightly wrapped, others beginning to unfold, bringing a soft, comforting texture. White carnations add ruffled detail, and daisy-like white Gerbera blooms with pale yellow or darker centres introduce a fresh, uncomplicated charm. Interspersed throughout are tiny white filler flowers that seem to float between the larger blooms, giving the arrangement a delicate, cloudlike fullness. The floral cluster is framed by lush greenery: deep, glossy leaves form the backing, feathery ferns thread through for a lighter touch, and round, muted green eucalyptus leaves lend a modern, soothing tone. Carefully folded long leaves at the top provide subtle structure, while a graceful spray of slender palm fronds fans from the lower right, creating an elongated, asymmetrical silhouette that feels both classic and contemporary. Crafted as a one-sided piece meant to be viewed from the front, it is well suited to resting by a coffin or adorning a display stand. The overall impression is one of purity, serenity, and gentle strength, a heartfelt tribute for a Shadwell family saying goodbye, perhaps at a service near Shadwell Basin, St George in the East, or along the quiet streets off Commercial Road.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
This elegantly flowing arrangement pays tribute to life and memory with local character inspired by Shadwell's riverside heritage. The bouquet unveils its artistry diagonally, evoking gentle waves along Wapping's historic edges. At its heart, luminous white lilies expand in full bloom, some retaining their modest buds-symbols of enduring hope and compassion. Between them, clusters of deep pink, nearly fuchsia roses glow warmly, each unfurling petal suggesting tender remembrance. Layered ruffled spray carnations fill the spaces, infusing the ensemble with softness, while brilliant green santini chrysanthemums add playful, modern texture, reminiscent of spring's awakening around Cable Street. Scattered throughout, vivid red hypericum berries glimmer like tiny lanterns, their cheerful notes balancing the arrangement's subtle palette. The lush foundation is built with a rich tapestry of green: large, glossy leaves lending structure, their folded edges mirroring the lines of local bridges, and long, slender palm fronds trailing downwards with poetic grace. The design captures Shadwell's blend of old and new-a fitting tribute crafted for commemorations, funerals, or as a quiet expression of sympathy in the heart of east London. The overall effect is one of heartfelt beauty, offering gentle comfort and a sense of place tied deeply to Shadwell's familiar streets.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00

This image shows an elegant, cascading sympathy spray composed of blue and white roses, carefully arranged against a stark white background so that each bloom and leaf stands out. The arrangement forms a flowing teardrop shape, full and rounded at the top and gradually narrowing toward the lower right, reminiscent of a quiet procession moving through Shadwell's historic streets. At its heart sit numerous fully bloomed roses, each one open and velvety. Deep sapphire blue roses, saturated and intense, are evenly interspersed among creamy white and ivory roses, whose softly layered petals lend a sense of purity and gentle light. The colour contrast is striking yet soothing, offering comfort to the eye. Delicate tufts of white baby's breath are tucked between the rose heads, their small blossoms forming airy clusters that lighten the dense mass of petals. Surrounding this central cluster, lush greenery creates structure and movement: broad, polished dark green leaves anchor the design; feathery, bright green fern fronds stretch from the upper left; and long, slender palm fronds arc outward from the lower right, emphasising the cascading silhouette characteristic of formal funeral flowers. Sprigs of bluish-green, eucalyptus-like foliage are nestled discreetly between the blooms, adding another layer of texture and a cool, calming tone. Some of the larger leaves are intricately folded or wrapped into decorative, striped bands that curve around the arrangement, suggesting the practiced hands of a florist used to crafting tributes for services near Shadwell Basin and along Cable Street. The overall mood is composed, reverent, and tender, well suited to conveying sympathy and honouring a loved one at a memorial or funeral.
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00

Set against a pure white background, this horizontal funeral spray unfolds like a quiet procession of flowers, beginning with a fuller, mounded cluster on the left and tapering into a gentle, trailing point on the right. Deep red roses are the most striking presence, their velvety, tightly layered petals glowing with a rich crimson hue that speaks of enduring affection and solemn respect. Between them sit numerous white carnations, their softly ruffled, multi-petalled blooms offering a calm counterbalance and a symbol of innocence, remembrance, and peace. The flowers are cradled in a lush foundation of greenery that an experienced Shadwell florist might assemble for a farewell service near Cable Street or around St Katharine Docks. Broad, dark green leaves provide structure and volume, while silvery-green eucalyptus introduces a cooler tone and a slightly textured, matte finish that catches the light differently from the glossy foliage beneath. From the right-hand edge, slender sprigs of lighter green foliage spill outward in an elegant cascade, softening the outline and giving the arrangement a natural, flowing movement, as if the flowers themselves were offering a final bow. The lighting is even and gentle, enhancing the contrasts between crimson, white, and layered greens without casting harsh shadows. This classic red-and-white sympathy tribute feels both formal and deeply personal, ideal as a casket spray or memorial arrangement for services held in Shadwell and the surrounding riverside neighbourhoods, conveying love, respect, and a heartfelt goodbye.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
Laid against a pure white background, this elongated sympathy spray of red roses and berries forms a gentle, diagonal sweep, much like the quiet flow of people moving through Shadwell's historic streets on a day of remembrance. The arrangement centres on an abundance of deep crimson roses, each one carefully placed. Some roses are in tight bud, their petals still wrapped close, symbolising cherished memories that remain protected, while others open slightly, revealing velvety, swirling centres. Tucked between these blooms are clusters of coral-pink Hypericum berries that introduce a softer rosy hue and a rounded, pearl-like texture that contrasts with the smooth petals. The design is supported by a lush base of dark green foliage: large, glossy leaves layer outward in a supportive fan, creating both structure and depth. At the lower right, fine, feathery palm fronds extend the line of the spray, their lighter green tone adding movement and drawing the eye gently along the composition, as though guiding it towards the riverfront near Shadwell Basin. Threaded throughout are delicate, slender stems that lend extra texture and a natural, garden-like feel. At the upper left, the stems are pulled together in a clean, professional bundle, bound with a wide band of wrapped green leaf that acts as both handle and finishing touch. The overall silhouette is an elongated teardrop, dignified and serene, ideal for resting on a coffin or placed near a photograph at a memorial service. Against the simplicity of the white backdrop, the deep reds and rich greens stand out clearly, conveying a message of enduring love, sympathy, and quiet strength.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
A large, serene white sympathy spray is photographed against a spotless white background, running from the upper left to the lower right in a smooth, elongated teardrop shape. The eye is first drawn to the full, mounded section of blooms at the top, where numerous white and soft ivory roses cluster together, their petals at varying stages of unfurling, from firm buds suggesting new beginnings to open blossoms showing intricate spirals. Nestled among the roses, frilly white carnations provide delicate ruffles and depth, softening any harsh lines and giving the entire composition a gentle, cloud-like appearance. This abundant bloomscape is cradled within a border of lush greenery: muted, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves weave in and out, adding a cool, soothing undertone, while deeper green ruscus stretches outward and downward in slender arcs, guiding the gaze toward the tapered end of the spray. The foliage spills just beyond the flowers, creating a sense of natural movement, as if a light breeze could stir the leaves. With no distracting elements in the background, the contrast between the pristine petals and rich greens is particularly striking, evoking stillness and contemplation. This style of arrangement, so often requested in Shadwell for services at local churches and crematoria, reflects compassion and empathy from those who send it. It is well suited for resting on a casket, adorning a memorial table, or standing beside an urn, signalling respect, remembrance, and quiet support for families gathering along the East London streets between Shadwell, Limehouse, and Stepney.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
A refined funeral spray of yellow roses and red berries stretches diagonally across a crisp white background, crafted in a classic teardrop shape that draws the eye from the anchored top left down to a softly tapering point at the lower right. The central focus is a generous gathering of yellow roses, each bloom at a different stage of opening: some buds are still modest and contained, while others unfurl into layered rosettes of buttery gold, their petals appearing almost velvety to the touch. Nestled between these roses are many clusters of small, marble-like red berries, probably Hypericum, their deep crimson tones and rounded forms offering a striking visual counterpoint. Surrounding this interplay of yellow and red is a rich framework of foliage. At the top, broad, glossy dark green leaves are folded, wrapped, and angled in overlapping bands, creating an architectural base that shows the trained hand of a local Shadwell florist used to designing for intimate East London chapels and memorials along Cable Street. From the bottom of the spray, slender, palm-style fronds fan outwards, their narrow leaflets lending movement and a faintly tropical elegance, as if a soft breeze might set them rustling. The clear white background throws every detail into sharp relief, from the sheen on the berries to the ribbed veins in the leaves. The overall impression is calm and composed, a meaningful floral tribute ideal for funerals, memorial services, or quiet acts of condolence, offering a blend of warmth, respect, and grace to families gathering in and around Shadwell.
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
Buy now
Against a clean white backdrop, an elongated sympathy spray unfolds in a classic teardrop shape, its fullness at the top gradually narrowing to a refined point at the lower right, much like a gentle sigh of farewell. The main body of the arrangement is composed of numerous soft pink roses, layered together so densely that their petals seem to form a continuous tapestry of blush and pale rose tones. Some blooms are open wide, showing intricate spirals at their centers, while others stay modest and partly closed, suggesting both the fragility and endurance of love. Between these roses, light peach-pink carnations are carefully woven, their frilled petals adding movement and a delicate, tufted texture that softens every edge. Around and beneath the blooms lies an abundant bed of dark green foliage, with larger, glossy leaves creating structure and smaller, more slender sprigs providing airy accents along the sides and at the spray's tapered tip. This contrast of pastel flowers against rich greenery feels balanced and soothing, ideal for a funeral or memorial service. Imagined resting on a casket in Shadwell, perhaps in a quiet venue near the DLR line or close to the historic streets off Commercial Road, the spray becomes not just a decoration but a message of compassion. Each element suggests the care of a local florist attuned to the needs of grieving families. The overall impression is one of serene beauty and heartfelt condolence, a floral tribute that offers comfort and a sense of gentle support during a difficult goodbye.
COMPASSIONATE FEELING CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
An abundant cluster of soft pink roses, roughly two dozen in number, is photographed from above as it lies gracefully across a pure white surface, the blooms massed together in the foreground while their stems stretch away in a calm diagonal line. The roses share a delicate pastel palette, blending blush, powder pink, and the faintest tone of dusty rose or pale lavender that nests in the deeply layered centres. Most of the flowers remain in tightly coiled spiral buds, their petals wrapped closely and symmetrically, giving them a sense of poised restraint, while a selection of blossoms has unfolded a little more, revealing lush, cup-shaped hearts that invite quiet contemplation. The texture of the petals appears soft and velvety, with slight ripples and gently frilled edges that interact with the even lighting to create subtle highlights and shadows, as though the arrangement rested under the kind of clear light that drifts over Shadwell Basin. Framing this sea of pink, an abundance of dark green leaves presses around the blooms, the foliage dense, vibrant, and markedly healthy, supporting long, straight stems that converge towards the upper right corner of the image. The leaves provide a rich, grounding contrast to the airy, romantic hue of the roses, emphasizing the freshness of the bouquet and the care taken in its preparation. With the clean white background eliminating any visual noise, the focus remains entirely on the interplay of colour and form. The overall mood is one of calm, tenderness, and dignified elegance, making this bouquet a fitting choice for sympathy flowers delivered across Shadwell, Limehouse, or towards Whitechapel, offering a gentle, reassuring presence to those navigating grief.
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
Buy now
A richly textured red casket spray is showcased against a bright white background, its elongated, one-sided design flowing from a full central cluster of blooms into a gentle taper at one end. The heart of the arrangement is composed of velvety red roses, some still in tight bud, others fully open to reveal lush, spiralled centres that symbolise devotion and lasting love. Nestled closely among them, ruffled red carnations create a cloud of texture, their fringed petals softening the overall look. Flat-faced red gerbera daisies, with deep-toned centres and radiating petals, are interspersed to add bold structure and a modern edge. Threaded delicately through the sea of red, small sprigs of white filler flowers-likely baby's breath or tiny chrysanthemums-offer light, airy accents, helping each red bloom stand out more clearly. Surrounding this vibrant core, generous greenery frames the spray and gives it length. Long palm fronds sweep outward from the sides and base, defining the distinctive funeral-spray silhouette, while denser, darker green leaves such as salal or ruscus sit closer to the flowers, building depth and a sense of lush abundance. Occasional fern-like fronds peek through, adding intricate, feathery detail. Toward the top of the piece, an elegant red satin ribbon forms a large, multi-loop bow, its smooth, glossy tails trailing gracefully down through the flowers like a softly spoken farewell from family and friends. Crafted with the care one expects from Florist Shadwell, this arrangement feels deeply rooted in the local area, suitable for services near Shadwell Station, riverside chapels, or intimate gatherings in nearby Wapping, where it can stand as a powerful symbol of love, honour, and remembrance.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART CASKET SPRAY
£120.00
Buy now
An elegant, elongated funeral spray rendered in soft whites and vivid greens, set against a clean white background to underline its serene character. The arrangement centers on several creamy white roses-some opened into layered, velvety cups, some still in tighter, comforting buds-paired with pristine white calla lilies whose smooth, trumpet forms introduce a refined sculptural quality. Small clusters of lime-green button chrysanthemums punctuate the palette with their tightly packed, textured spheres, giving a quietly modern contrast that keeps the eye engaged without disturbing the calm. Sprays of tiny white baby's breath (gypsophila) float among the stems like a gentle hush, adding lightness and a breathable texture. The foliage is rich and varied: glossy deep-green leaves form a substantial foundation, variegated leaves with pale stripes add luminous depth, and delicate fern fronds at the top lend a soft, leafy fringe. Long, slender blades of bright green foliage arch over the composition, creating a gentle sense of motion and contemporary balance, while the whole form tapers to a smooth, bright-green tropical leaf that defines the pointed base. A soft, cream-coloured ribbon bow at the upper left provides a comforting, traditional finishing touch. The overall feeling is one of respectful simplicity and quiet care, a sympathy spray I would recommend for memorials in Shadwell, along The Highway, or at nearby chapels - a design that communicates peace and remembrance without words.
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00

This image captures a stately double-ended funeral spray, arranged with care and set against a plain white background so that every hue, shape, and leaf can be clearly distinguished. The arrangement stretches from left to right, fuller at the centre and gently narrowing to pointed tips, designed to sit proudly atop a coffin at a memorial or funeral service in the Shadwell area. Rich red lilies provide dramatic focal points, their large, star-shaped blooms opening outward, with a satin-like sheen on each petal. These lilies are intertwined with an abundance of roses in pale cream and soft pink tones, some fully open, others still in bud, signifying both cherished memories and the love that continues. Light pink carnations, with their frilly, layered petals, are woven throughout the piece, adding body and a tender, almost whisper-soft texture. Between the larger flowers, small clusters of lavender and purple blossoms add a cooler note, providing visual depth and a gentle contrast that keeps the composition from feeling heavy. Here and there, you can see thistle-like blooms in muted blue-grey, their spiky heads catching the light and bringing an unexpected, contemporary edge to the otherwise classic design. The entire spray is cradled by a base of lush greenery: broad, glossy leaves and delicate, ferny fronds radiate outwards, framing the flowers and softening the overall silhouette. This combination of colour, form, and texture creates a poignant tribute that feels both traditional and timeless, well suited to a thoughtful farewell in one of Shadwell's local chapels or crematoria, where families gather to say goodbye in a setting of quiet remembrance.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
A beautifully composed funeral spray is shown on a pure white background, arranged in a striking diagonal line that runs from a full, rounded cluster at the upper left to a more tapered, cascading finish at the lower right, as if poised to rest atop a casket in a Shadwell chapel. At first glance, the eye is drawn to the generous gerbera daisies, their wide petals unfurling in shades of soft blush pink, vivid fuchsia, and rich magenta. These bold faces anchor the arrangement and radiate a feeling of warmth and affectionate tribute. Interspersed with them are elegant pink roses, some just beginning to open and others more generous in bloom, the tightly layered petals suggesting depth of feeling and a sense of long-held memories. Around these main blooms, clusters of small, ruffled white flowers-likely carnations or miniature chrysanthemums-add soft volume and a gentle glow, while fine sprays of daisy-like white filler flowers introduce a more delicate, whisper-light texture. Dotted amongst the petals, bright red hypericum berries punctuate the design, offering a berry-like richness that contrasts with the softer pastel tones. All of this colour and texture is supported by lush greenery: broad, glossy dark leaves create a solid, confident base; feathery fern fronds soften the contours; and rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave through the arrangement, lending a cool modernity and hinting at a fresh, clean fragrance. From the lower right, long palm leaves sweep outward in a graceful arc, emphasising the arrangement's cascading movement. At the upper left, the gathered stems are neatly aligned, showcasing the careful, structured workmanship behind the spray. The overall mood is dignified and comforting, making it a fitting choice for a funeral or memorial service in Shadwell, offering quiet beauty and sincere condolence.
LIGHT IN YOUR HONOUR SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
Crisp, elongated and hand-tied, this bouquet reads like a study in white and green: creamy Calla Lilies with their sculptural, trumpet-shaped flowers are the focal point, angled downward and toward the right to create a poised, linear flow. The lilies' smooth, satiny petals contrast with a base of deep green, glossy foliage - folded tropical leaves that have been gently shaped to provide a strong, architectural spine. Interleaved among them are slender variegated leaves whose pale stripes flash through the middle ground, while soft fern fronds offer a lace-like texture that softens the arrangement's form. Small, pale green herbaceous sprigs nestle between larger elements, giving a subtle froth of colour and a hint of meadow-fresh scent, and a few long, grass-like blades arch outward to amplify the bouquet's sense of movement and natural rhythm. A delicate off-white ribbon, likely linen or a burlap-style weave, is tied at the upper left, its loose loops cradling the foliage and adding a quiet, tactile finish. Viewed against the stark white background, every shape and surface becomes legible: the glossy sheen of tropical leaves, the waxy smoothness of the Calla trumpets, and the airy lightness of fern and sprig. The composition reads as contemporary and respectful - appropriate for memorials, elegant funeral tributes, or pared-back bridal statements - and carries the softer, salt-tinged hush you might associate with the nearby Docklands and Shadwell Basin.
ETERNAL REST SPRAY
£70.00
Buy now
On a spotless white surface, a carefully gathered bouquet of approximately twenty-four yellow roses is arranged in a relaxed, fan-shaped cluster, as though resting between the hands of a florist in Shadwell who has just finished tying the stems. The roses themselves show an appealing mix of stages: some buds are tight and domed, their petals close and protective, while others have started to unfurl, revealing layered whorls of soft yellow that deepen toward the centre. The petals appear velvety and substantial, with gentle curves and faint ripples that catch the light in subtle, creamy highlights. Around the blooms, an abundance of rich green leaves frames the flowers, adding depth and structure. The foliage is mostly a strong, mid-to-dark green, with some leaves turning at angles that expose paler, more matte undersides, enhancing the natural, garden-fresh impression. The stems peek out in a compact bundle at one edge of the bouquet, a uniform light green that suggests they have been freshly cut and swiftly arranged, ready for delivery perhaps to a quiet street near Shadwell DLR station or overlooking the river. The arrangement is monochromatic in flowers yet visually complex, with the interplay of petal shapes, leaf textures, and delicate shadows. While the golden yellow brings to mind optimism, companionship, and thoughtful congratulations, the restrained composition also feels appropriate for sympathy, offering a calm, reassuring presence without excess. It is easy to imagine this cluster of roses being chosen to convey a message of gentle remembrance, a soft, enduring light for someone going through a difficult time.
