Viewed from a slightly elevated angle against a stark white background, this floral cross reads as a composed and compassionate tribute, where horticultural form meets spiritual symbolism. The underlying structure is crafted from large, lustrous green leaves-reminiscent of Ti-with broad surfaces and visible midribs that create a strong, protective silhouette for the floral focal point. At the heart and along the arms, clusters of pale, creamy lisianthus bloom with multilayered petals and soft curves, interspersed with small white chrysanthemum-like flowers that lend delicate contrast and a quiet sparkle. Tiny lavender-hued star flowers-probably limonium or diminutive asters-thread through the assemblage, lifting the palette with a whisper of purple and adding visual depth. Slender sprigs of fine green filler are tucked into the composition, their smaller scale balancing the boldness of the leaves and enhancing the natural, hand-made quality. The lighting is soft and even, bathing the arrangement in a gentle glow that emphasizes the creamy tones and the subtle purple accents without introducing harsh highlights. The overall impression is one of respectful calm: a fitting choice for funerals, memorial services, or chapel tributes in West Heath, placed alongside a lectern or arranged at a graveside. The craftsmanship suggests a florist mindful of texture, proportion, and the quiet language of flowers-an arrangement meant to offer solace, dignity, and a tender reminder of enduring memory.

A solemn, hand-crafted floral cross displayed on a pure white background and photographed from a gentle overhead angle, the composition precise and quietly reverent. The cross's structural base is formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves-think Ti or similar large green foliage-laid edge to edge so their prominent veins and waxy surfaces catch a soft, even light and read as a rich, verdant frame. At the meeting point of the arms and running down the central axis lies a concentrated carpet of blooms in a tranquil palette: creamy-white lisianthus with their soft, ruffled layers and unopened buds, clusters of small white chrysanthemum-type florets that add a bright, rounded texture, and sprays of tiny lavender star-shaped accents, likely limonium or small asters, that give a gentle lift of cool colour. Delicate wisps of fine green filler thread through the flowers, lending depth and a natural, garden-like feel against the smooth leaves. The overall balance is soothing-the dense floral heart softened by the expansive green wings-invoking peace and steady presence. Light is diffuse and calm, enhancing the creamy tones and the pale purple whisper of the accents without harsh shadows. This piece reads as a traditional sympathy tribute, designed for wakes, funeral services, or quiet graveside moments, conveying respect and gentle remembrance. As a local florist, I imagine it placed by a church lectern or set beside a simple coffin in a West Heath chapel, offering a quiet, comforting emblem of faith and enduring care for those saying 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!
