This heartfelt cross is presented from a slight overhead perspective on an uncluttered white background so every detail - from leaf texture to petal edge - is clear and intimate. The architecture of the piece depends on broad, green tropical leaves with smooth, glossy surfaces and visible veins that create a stable, sculpted foundation: the leaves are layered and cupped to form the unmistakable silhouette of a Christian cross. Concentrated at the intersection and flowing along each arm are clusters of pale blooms: creamy and pure white lisianthus with their soft, billowing petals, contrasted by small, round white chrysanthemum-type blooms that add punctuation and tactile variety. Scattered among these are sprays of tiny lavender or light purple aster/limonium, their delicate, star-like flowers introducing cool tonal shading and visual depth. Slender strands of fine green filler foliage are woven through the clusters, softening transitions and lending a natural, garden-fresh feel. The lighting is soft and even, giving the leaves a gentle sheen and the flowers a luminous, almost spiritual quality; the overall scent would read as faintly green and floral, unobtrusive and comforting. Crafted with reverence and care, this arrangement reads as both a traditional funeral tribute and a personal expression of mourning, suitable for services and memorials across Whetstone, from High Road addresses to local church gatherings. The composition communicates steadiness and compassion - a visual prayer in greens, whites, and lavender that offers quiet consolation to those remembering a loved one.

A solemn, elegant floral cross viewed from a slight overhead angle against a plain white background, the image emphasising careful structure and serene colour. The cross is built on a foundation of broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti leaves or similar - their deep green surfaces laid in a precise overlap so their central veins form clear arms and a defined centre. At the heart and sweeping along each arm is a generous carpet of blooms in a tranquil palette: creamy ivory and pure white lisianthus with their soft, ruffled layers and occasional closed buds, intermingled with small, bright white chrysanthemum-like daisies that lend a crisp, textural sparkle. Sprays of tiny lavender-hued aster or limonium thread through the clusters, the starry little flowers giving gentle contrast and depth while finer green filler foliage peeks between blooms to soften edges. The lighting is even and soft, picking out the satiny sheen of the leaves and the delicate translucence of the lisianthus petals, suggesting a faint, green-tinged scent and a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Crafted with sympathy and restraint, the cross reads as a dignified expression of remembrance, appropriate for funerals, memorial services, or graveside tributes across Whetstone and neighbouring Barnet. An experienced florist's hand is visible in the measured balance - leaves forming a protective frame, flowers concentrated at the intersection to draw the eye, and delicate accents placed to honour simplicity over ornament. The overall impression is one of peace and quiet respect, a floral gesture that offers comfort without excess and communicates faith and lasting memory in a language of soft whites and pale lavender.

    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!
