This mournful yet uplifting cross is assembled with horticultural sensitivity and presented on a pure white background so every detail reads clearly from a mild overhead viewpoint. The structural silhouette is created from expansive, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti leaves with deep green tones and visible veins - layered to form the cross's arms and central spine. Concentrated at the meeting point and flowing outward along each arm are clusters of pale, creamy lisianthus whose ruffled petals open into soft rosettes, and small, white chrysanthemum sprays that add compact texture and a luminous presence. Interwoven are tiny lavender or light-purple spray flowers, likely limonium or small asters, that provide a cool whisper of colour against the neutral whites and greens. Fine green foliage is woven between the blooms to soften transitions and give a living, garden-like feel. The lighting is even and gentle, allowing the leaves' sheen and the blooms' delicate translucence to coexist in a serene palette; one can almost sense the faint, green-tinged aroma suggestive of freshly cut foliage. This arrangement reads as both a religious emblem and a human gesture - a symbol of faith, consolation, and memory - and would be appropriate for funeral services or graveside remembrances in the New Addington area, from Addington Hills gatherings to family services near Central Parade. I describe it as a florist would to someone who cannot see: a tactile, composed refuge of colour and texture, offering calm and quiet dignity.

A carefully composed floral cross, photographed against a clean white backdrop with a slight overhead tilt so the form reads clearly as a single, calm symbol. The structural arms and centre are built from large, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti leaves - their deep green sheen and prominent veins creating a smooth, protective foundation that frames the flowers. At the intersection and tracing each arm is a generous, dense massing of soft white and creamy blooms: ruffled lisianthus with their multi-layered petals and unopened buds, compact white chrysanthemum sprays that add bright, rounded texture, and tiny ivory accents that lift the palette. Threaded through this pale scheme are sprays of powdery lavender and light purple accents - small, star-shaped limonium or aster-like flowers - which give the composition gentle contrast and depth without disturbing the arrangement's quiet dignity. Finer green fillers nestle between blossoms, softening edges and suggesting natural growth. The lighting is even and soft, catching a faint gloss on the leaves while allowing the lisianthus' delicate translucence to show, and the overall scent one might imagine is green and soft rather than perfume-heavy. As a sympathy tribute this cross reads of reverence and consolation, a piece suitable for services in and around New Addington - from Central Parade to Addington Village - where families often choose traditional, faith-led expressions of remembrance. I describe it as I would to a client unable to see: a tactile, comforting shape whose balanced colours and textures speak of peace, respect, and steady support during times of mourning.

    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!
