Gentle and reverent, this floral cross rests against a pure white field and is seen from a slightly elevated viewpoint so its symmetry and textures are clearly read. The structural arms are formed from wide, lustrous green tropical leaves whose waxy sheen and visible veins capture the light like quiet armor. At the heart, and tracing each arm, is a plush composition of soft white and creamy lisianthus - their layered, almost papery petals unfurling with a tender elegance - paired with small, rounded white chrysanthemum blooms that add concentrated points of light and texture. Sprays of fine, lavender-tinted star flowers, such as limonium or asters, drift through the clusters, offering a cool, violet breath against the pale palette. Fine green foliage and delicate fillers are woven through the blooms to create a soft halo where flower meets leaf. The lighting is serene and even, lending a subtle translucence to the petals and a faint green, floral scent reminiscent of a quiet morning in a suburban garden. Crafted with the care of a seasoned local florist, this piece evokes both consolation and hope: a fitting tribute for funerals, memorials or church services in Upminster - whether laid by the altar at a neighbourhood church or delivered respectfully to a wake near the station.

A solemn, dignified floral cross photographed on a clean white background from a slight overhead angle, the composition deliberately isolated to focus on its form. The cross is built on a foundation of broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti or similar green foliage - their smooth, waxy surfaces and prominent veins arranged to define the horizontal and vertical arms with a reassuring symmetry. At the intersection and running along each arm sits a concentrated ensemble of soft ivory and pure white blooms: ruffled lisianthus with layered, delicate petals, and smaller daisy-like white chrysanthemums or spray blooms that add pinpoint brightness and gentle texture. Scattered among them are sprays of tiny lavender-purple star-shaped flowers, likely limonium or small asters, that create a whisper of contrast and depth without breaking the quiet mood. Fine green filler foliage is threaded through the clusters, lending softness to the edges where blossom meets leaf. The lighting is even and calm, catching a faint sheen on the leaves and revealing the petals' subtle translucence; the suggested scent is faintly green and clean, as if cut from a garden at dawn. This arrangement reads as a traditional sympathy tribute-meant for a funeral, memorial or church service-conveying peace, respect and a gentle remembrance. As a local Upminster florist's piece, it would sit comfortably near St Laurence Church or be delivered to services close to Upminster station, offering a composed, comforting expression for times of mourning and reflection.

    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!
