In this heartfelt memorial cross every element has been chosen to soothe and signify. Broad, emerald-green tropical leaves are layered to create a firm, sacred framework: their smooth, veined surfaces curve gently to outline the arms and centre of the cross, catching a soft, diffuse light that lends the piece a calm radiance. Nestled into that verdant bed are clusters of creamy ivory and pristine white lisianthus whose ruffled petals open like quiet prayers, paired with compact white spray chrysanthemums that add subtle points of contrast and resilience. Threads of tiny, lavender-hued star flowers - limonium or small asters - drift through the arrangement, their delicate shapes suggesting gentle hope and distance, a cool colour note that deepens the composition without overpowering it. Fine green fillers are woven through the blooms, lending an organic, meadow-like softness to the otherwise formal silhouette. Seen from a slightly elevated perspective against a simple white backdrop, the cross holds a solemn poise; its tactile contrasts - waxy leaves against velvety petals - invite remembrance and touch. The fragrance is faint and green, more like the memory of a garden than a strong perfume, which suits a funeral or memorial where restraint and dignity are paramount. Locally, this design would be chosen by families in Tulse Hill or nearby Dulwich and Streatham Hill seeking a reverent tribute that balances faith, comfort, and the quiet beauty of fresh flowers.

A solemn, elegant cross of flowers lies photographed against a clean white background from a gentle overhead angle, its shape unmistakably Christian and composed with quiet dignity. The structural base is a lattice of broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti leaves - their smooth, deep-green surfaces and visible veins forming the defined arms and central spine of the cross. At the intersection and running along each arm is a generous, tightly arranged spray of soft white and creamy ivory blooms: ruffled lisianthus with layered petals and closed buds, small rounded chrysanthemums or miniature spray-style roses adding bright, matte highlights, and finer green filler leaves tucked between blossoms for subtle texture. Interspersed through the white masses are delicate, powdery-lavender star-shaped accents - likely limonium or small asters - that give a whisper of cool colour and visual depth without disturbing the arrangement's serenity. The light is even and soft, catching a satin sheen off the leaves while allowing the petals' gentle translucence to read as fragile and consoling. There is a faint green, dewy scent suggested by the foliage and fresh blooms, a calming note rather than an overpowering perfume. As a funeral or memorial tribute, this piece reads as reverent and composed: the verdant cross conveys enduring life while the pale flowers speak of peace and remembrance. A Tulse Hill family might choose this at a service near Brockwell Park or a chapel on Effra Road when they wish to send a message of faith, comfort and quiet consolation to mourners and loved ones.

    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!
