In this heartfelt cross, each element is chosen to convey solace and quiet reverence, shown against a plain white surface and captured from a modest overhead angle so the symbolism reads plainly. The armature of the cross is crafted from broad, gleaming green leaves-tropical in character, with a satiny finish and visible veins that create a protective, wing-like outline. Nestled at the centre and along the axis of the cross are delicate clusters of creamy lisianthus, their soft layered petals curling gently outward, paired with compact white chrysanthemums that add small points of brightness and a gently rounded texture. Threaded through these larger blooms are sprays of tiny, star-like lavender or pale purple limonium/aster blooms, which introduce a faint, cool color note and a twinkling sense of depth. Smaller fronds of green filler break up the floral masses and lend an organic, garden-like softness to the design. The lighting is even, lending a serene radiance to the white and ivory tones while allowing the lavender accents to register as modest but meaningful contrasts. Texturally the piece balances the smooth, waxy foliage with the feathered, unfolding petals to produce a composition that reads both strong and compassionate. As a traditional sympathy or memorial arrangement, this cross would be appropriate for chapel services, funeral processions or a graveside setting in White City, near landmarks like Westfield and the BBC Television Centre; it stands as a dignified emblem of remembrance and calm reflection.

A solemn, elegant floral cross photographed against a clean white background and viewed from a gentle overhead angle, the composition isolated so every detail reads with clarity. The cross's structure is formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves-imagine Ti or similar large green foliage-with visible veins and a waxy sheen that give the piece a rich, verdant foundation and clearly defined arms and centre. At the intersection and running along each arm is a generous, tightly composed spray of fresh blooms in a tranquil palette of soft white, creamy ivory and pale lavender. The dominant white blossoms are ruffled lisianthus with layered, delicate petals and some closed buds, joined by small, rounded white chrysanthemums that lend brightness and a soft cushion-like texture. Sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender or light purple accents-likely limonium or small asters-are threaded through the clusters to add depth, gentle contrast and the feel of quiet spring meadows. Finer green filler foliage weaves subtly through the flowers, softening edges and enhancing the natural, handcrafted look. The lighting is even and soft, bathing the arrangement in a calm, almost reverent glow that underscores its use as a sympathy or memorial tribute. Tactile contrasts-the smooth, waxy leaves against the feathery, unfolding lisianthus petals-create visual interest without disturbing the overall serenity. This cross is clearly intended for funeral services, a chapel display or graveside remembrance, offering a message of peace and enduring memory; its restrained palette and classic form make it a dignified choice for moments of reflection in White City and neighbouring Shepherd's Bush.

    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!
