This heartfelt cross is presented on a plain white background and seen from a slightly elevated perspective, a view chosen to show the deliberate geometry and tender detailing together. The foundation is a lattice of broad, gleaming tropical leaves - Ti leaves with visible midribs and a satiny finish - arranged to define the vertical and horizontal arms with natural symmetry. At the intersection and tracing each arm, lush clusters of creamy white and ivory lisianthus create a soft, ruffled focal point; these blooms unfold with a layered grace that reads as purity and calm. Dotting the composition are compact white chrysanthemums that lend a crisp, textured clarity, while sprigs of tiny lavender-toned limonium or asters weave through the white flowers, offering a pale purple counterpoint that deepens the arrangement's visual and emotional nuance. Slim green fillers are tucked discreetly to balance negative space and give the impression of a living wreath sheltered by protective leaves. The overall light is soft and even, producing a quiet luminosity that underscores the piece's devotional tone - suitable for a funeral, memorial service, or church tribute. Locally, I imagine this arrangement placed in a Wapping parish hall or beside a graveside at St George-in-the-East, an expression crafted to honour life and to suggest the possibility of peace and continuity beyond loss.

A solemn, hand-crafted floral cross photographed from a slight overhead angle against a clean white backdrop, the composition focused and quietly reverent. The structural form is built from broad, glossy tropical leaves-think Ti leaves-laid with care so their pronounced veins and waxy sheen form the unmistakable arms and centre of the Christian cross. At the crossroads of the arms a generous cluster of blooms gathers: soft, ruffled lisianthus in creamy ivory and pure white, their layered petals folding like small cup-shaped prayers. Interspersed are compact, daisy-like white spray chrysanthemums that add bright punctuation and a delicate, rounded texture. Threaded through these are sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender to pale purple accents-limonium or small asters-that introduce a gentle coolness, a whisper of colour against the green base. Fine green filler foliage is woven sparingly through the clusters, softening edges and lending a natural, garden-like depth. Lighting is even and soft, the white background giving the composition a sense of calm clarity and making each petal and leaf read cleanly for someone relying on touch or description. The overall impression is one of peaceful dignity and quiet remembrance: a sympathetic tribute suited to funeral services, memorials, or a church ceremony. The arrangement suggests the hush of a chapel and the hush of early morning in Wapping, where such a piece might be laid near a grave or placed beside an altar to speak of consolation and enduring hope.

    I wanted to let you know that I received a phone call from my friend today telling me how fabulous the sympathy flower arrangements were, and also what a wonderful job you did in getting them here on time. It was really important to her that everything be exactly right, and it was!! We will certainly use your services again when needed. Thank you for helping her out with such short notice.

    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!
