This floral cross is composed to read as both a symbol of faith and a careful, tactile gesture of sympathy, photographed on a plain white field from a modest overhead angle so the cross silhouette remains the focus. The foundation consists of wide, glossy green tropical leaves, their waxy surfaces reflecting a soft studio light and revealing elegant vein patterns that ground the design in a leafy permanence. At the intersection and along the arms, pale, ruffled lisianthus in creamy-white and ivory forms a plush, cloud-like centre, accented by neat clusters of small white chrysanthemums that lend compact texture and brightness. Interspersed throughout are sprays of tiny lavender or light purple flowers - likely limonium or asters - which create a gentle contrast and a feeling of depth without overwhelming the calming palette. Delicate bits of fine greenery are tucked among the blossoms to soften edges and suggest the quiet resilience of nature. The scent would be faint and green, like a morning walk through a local garden, reinforcing the arrangement's mood of contemplative peace. Crafted with care and restraint, this cross is ideally suited for religious services, memorials, or cemetery tributes, and I imagine it placed near the altar of a Sydenham chapel or beside a graveside beneath the trees of Mayow Park or near Crystal Palace, offering a dignified, consoling presence to families in the local community.

A solemn, handcrafted sympathy cross captured on a clean white backdrop and seen from a gentle overhead angle, this piece reads as a quiet, visual benediction. The structural arms and centre of the Christian cross are formed from broad, glossy green tropical leaves - think Ti-leaf or similar - their smooth surfaces catching a soft, even light and revealing subtle vein patterns that lend an almost architectural calm. At the heart of the cross, and tracing its horizontal and vertical lines, a generous composition of pale florals unfolds: ruffled, creamy-white lisianthus with their layered petals and tender buds provide a soft, embracing texture; clusters of pure white, daisy-like chrysanthemums punctuate the design with bright, rounded forms; and sprays of tiny lavender-hued asters or limonium offer delicate points of cool colour that lift the palette without startling it. Interwoven among the blooms are slim fragments of fine green foliage that add depth and a natural, meadow-like softness. The overall scent is barely there - a faint green, leafy whisper beneath the sweeter lisianthus notes - reinforcing the arrangement's mood of reverent calm. Crafted with balance and restraint, this cross is intended for funeral services, graveside ceremonies, or church memorials where dignity and hope are asked for in equal measure. As a Sydenham florist I picture this laid near the altar at a service on Sydenham High Street or beside a graveside in Mayow Park, the arrangement acting as a gentle emblem of remembrance and quiet consolation for grieving families across SE26.

    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!
