An expertly balanced sympathy cross captured from a slight overhead angle on a stark white ground, its design grounded in the deep, glossy green of large tropical leaves that form the clear horizontal and vertical arms. Those leaves-smooth, vein-marked and rich in tone-create a strong, sheltering silhouette for the floral accents. Nestled into the centre and following the axis are densely arranged clusters of white and creamy lisianthus with their softly ruffled petals and occasional closed buds, combining with small, pure-white daisy-like chrysanthemums to build a textured, luminous heart. Interspersed among the white blooms are numerous stems of pale lavender limonium or small asters; their tiny, star-shaped flowers introduce a refined wash of purple that adds depth without overpowering the serene palette. Thin sprigs of fine green filler foliage are woven throughout the composition to enhance dimension and to blur transitions between leaf and bloom. The piece is lit with gentle, even light that preserves the arrangement's tranquil tones and highlights the tactile contrast-the waxy sheen of the leaves against the feathery softness of the petals. As a local florist's tribute suited to services across Keston and surrounding parishes, the cross communicates respect, peace and enduring remembrance. Its restrained colour story and classic silhouette make it appropriate for both religious ceremonies and small, private memorials, reflecting professional craftsmanship and an understanding of quiet, consoling floral design.

A solemn, elegant funeral cross photographed on a pristine white background from a slight overhead angle, the kind of arrangement chosen for church services or graveside farewells in Keston and nearby Bromley. The structural arms and centre of the cross are formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves-think deep green Ti-style foliage-laid with careful symmetry so their veins and smooth, waxy surfaces catch a soft, even light. At the heart of the cross and tracing each arm sits a generous, thoughtfully composed band of flowers in a tranquil palette of soft white, creamy ivory and pale lavender. Ruffled white lisianthus with layered petals and unopened buds create a tender, cloud-like texture, while small, rounded white spray chrysanthemums or daisies add bright, comforting points of light. Interspersed among them are sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender limonium or asters, their powdery purple tones lending gentle contrast and depth. Fine sprigs of delicate green filler foliage weave through the clusters, softening edges and adding a subtle organic movement. The overall impression is one of quiet dignity-polished but not ornate-the green leaf foundation suggesting protection and eternity, the pale blossoms offering purity and consolation. A whisper of green, slightly herbaceous scent is implied, the composition evoking calm reflection as if placed before a service at a chapel near Keston Common. This image conveys respect, serenity and remembrance, a classic sympathy tribute crafted to express heartfelt condolences with understated grace and careful floral workmanship.

    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!
