A carefully composed memorial cross set on a white backdrop and viewed slightly from above so every arm and the central junction are visible. The backbone of this design is formed by broad, lustrous green leaves - tropical Ti-like foliage whose smooth, veined surfaces create a rich, verdant base that frames the flowers. Clustered densely at the cross's heart and tracing each arm are creamy lisianthus blossoms with their soft, cup-like layers, interleaved with small white, daisy-style chrysanthemums that add concentrated points of light. Interspersed among these are sprays of pale lavender aster or limonium, tiny starry blooms that bring a gentle coolness and visual depth to the ivory palette. Fine, feathery greens are woven throughout the clusters to provide softness and to ease the transition between the sleek leaves and the floral masses. Light falls evenly across the composition, highlighting texture differences - the waxy sheen of the foliage versus the feathered edges of the petals - and lending an almost spiritual calm to the scene. Imagine this arrangement placed beside a memorial table at a family funeral in West Ham or set near flowers left at a graveside along Barking Road; its restrained colour story and clear Christian form communicate respect, solace and the hope of peace. The overall effect is one of thoughtful craftsmanship: a dignified expression of condolence designed for quiet reflection.

A solemn floral cross photographed against a plain white background, seen from a slight overhead angle so the full cruciform shape reads clearly. Broad, glossy tropical leaves - the deep green, waxy Ti-leaf variety with visible veins - form the structural arms and central spine of the cross, their smooth surfaces catching a soft, even light that accentuates the leaf contours. At the intersection and sweeping along each arm, dense clusters of gentle blooms create a soft, comforting focus: ruffled, creamy-white lisianthus with their multi-layered petals and tight buds; small, bright white chrysanthemum-like blossoms adding points of clarity; and fine sprays of powder-lilac, star-shaped asters or limonium that provide a whisper of cool purple. Finer green filler foliage is woven through the floral clusters, lending subtle texture and depth while maintaining the design's serene palette of white, ivory and lavender. The overall impression is one of quiet dignity - a tribute balanced between the permanence of glossy foliage and the ephemeral grace of the flowers - intended for a memorial or funeral setting where calm reflection is desired. There is an understated vegetal perfume, green and faintly sweet, that a florist might note when assembling the piece. As a local floral designer I picture this arrangement placed near a simple lectern in West Ham Park or beside a family photograph at a wake, its restrained colours and clear Christian symbol conveying peace, reverence and compassionate remembrance without excess ornamentation.

    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!
