In this heartfelt floral cross, photographed from a slight overhead perspective on a white field, every element has been chosen for its visual calm and symbolic strength. The cross's backbone is a bed of broad, tropical green leaves - Ti-like in their glossy finish - their veins and waxy texture forming a protective platform for the flowers. Centered at the cruciform juncture and extending along the arms are clusters of pale, ruffled lisianthus in creamy ivory and soft white, each bloom folding upon itself with delicate grace. Complementing these are small, rounded white chrysanthemums that add a cheerful yet reverent sparkle, and sprigs of tiny lavender or light purple limonium/aster that provide a subtle, cool contrast and a sense of depth. Thin, lacy fillers of green foliage are woven through the clusters, softening edges and lending a garden-fresh nuance. The overall colour story - quiet whites, creams and a whisper of lavender against deep greenery - creates a sense of purity, consolation and gentle hope. The light is soft and even, revealing texture without drama and allowing the arrangement to read as both a spiritual emblem and a tender expression of mourning. This piece would be appropriate for church services in Southgate, a graveside at Broomfield Park area or a remembrance gathering on Bramley Road, offering families a composed, respectful way to say farewell with dignity and care.

A solemn, elegant floral cross photographed from a slight overhead angle against a plain white background, presented with the quiet dignity of a traditional sympathy tribute. The cross framework is entirely formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti leaves - their deep green surfaces catching a soft, even light so that the prominent veins and smooth waxy texture are clearly visible. At the intersection and running along the vertical and horizontal arms sits a concentrated massing of blooms in a calming palette of pure white, creamy ivory and pale lavender. Ruffled lisianthus in ivory and soft white provide the principal sculptural form with their layered petals and occasional closed buds, while clusters of small, daisy-like white chrysanthemums thread brightness and texture through the composition. Sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender accents, likely limonium or small asters, add gentle color punctuation and visual depth without overpowering the serenity. Fine green fillers are interlaced among the flowers, their delicate fronds softening transitions between blossom and leaf and lending a natural, garden-fresh feel. The overall finish is restrained and tender, the blooms packed densely at the centre and tapering outward along the arms to emphasize the cross shape. The quiet palette, cool greenery and balanced texture make this a fitting floral expression for a funeral service, memorial or church ceremony in Southgate - a piece that reads as both an emblem of faith and a comforting, peaceful gesture for mourners and family. The arrangement evokes the hush of an early morning stroll through Southgate Green, a floral pause for remembrance 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!
