There is a calm reverence to this floral cross, photographed from a slight overhead angle on a plain white background so every element reads with clarity. The cross's skeleton is a tapestry of large, glossy green leaves-tropical Ti-style foliage with smooth, waxy surfaces and visible veins-arranged to create sturdy, graceful arms and a centred focal point. Crowning that verdant base is a dense but airy arrangement of soft white and creamy ivory lisianthus, their layered, ruffled petals opening like pale seashells, contrasted by tight sprays of small white chrysanthemum-type blooms that act as luminous punctuation. Threaded through the clusters are innumerable tiny lavender-hued blooms-limonium or petite asters-that lend a misted lilac halo and subtle texture under gentle lighting. Slim, finer green sprigs are tucked in to blur edges and provide a natural, garden-like finish. The overall scent is understated-green and clean rather than heady-amplifying the piece's mood of peaceful reflection. Crafted to convey solace and enduring remembrance, this arrangement reads as both a statement of faith and an act of tender care, fitting for services near Highgate's historic churchyards or quiet corners by the pond in Waterlow Park. A thoughtful composition by a seasoned hand, the cross communicates compassion and steadiness to grieving families and offers a graceful floral language of hope.

A solemn, carefully composed floral cross captured from a slight overhead angle against a plain white backdrop, its form clear and dignified. The structural base is built from broad, glossy tropical green leaves-think Ti or similar waxy foliage-laid edge to edge to define the horizontal and vertical arms of the Christian cross; their smooth surfaces and visible veins catch a soft, even light and give the piece a deep, verdant foundation. Centered where the arms meet is a generous cluster of pale, ruffled lisianthus in creamy ivory and soft white, each bloom opening in layered petals with a gentle, velvety texture. Interspersed among those are compact white chrysanthemum-like blooms providing bright, matte highlights, and sprays of tiny lavender-hued star flowers-likely limonium or small asters-that thread through the composition to add cool contrast and delicate depth. Fine green filler foliage peeks through the floral mass, softening transitions between petals and leaf and lending an organic, garden-fresh feel. The scent is discreet and green rather than sweet, a quiet note that supports rather than overwhelms. Overall the cross reads as a traditional sympathy tribute: restrained in palette, refined in construction, and meant to convey reverence, peace, and consolation at a funeral, memorial, or service. Imagined for places of remembrance around Highgate-near the calm paths of Waterlow Park and the historic gates of Highgate Cemetery-this arrangement offers a comforting, respectful presence and communicates careful florist craftsmanship in both structure and floral choice.

    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!
