In this heartfelt cross the design speaks of shelter and solace, displayed on a simple white field and seen from a modest overhead perspective that emphasises its clear, symbolic geometry. The cross's foundation is a mosaic of large, glossy tropical leaves-Ti leaves-with visible veins, their smooth waxy surfaces arranged to create solid arms and a defined central point. Nestled into that green canvas are clusters of soft white and ivory lisianthus, petals layered like quiet waves, alongside small white chrysanthemum sprays whose compact heads lend brightness and textual contrast. Interspersed among them are fine sprays of lavender-coloured limonium or tiny asters, their star-shaped florets adding a cool, ethereal counterpoint to the warm whites. Subtle wisps of fine green filler foliage are threaded through the blooms, offering softness at edges and a sense of natural growth. Light falls evenly, bathing the arrangement in a gentle glow that enhances the peaceful palette and suggests an almost spiritual calm. The ensemble has a restrained fragrance-green, fresh, and faint-reinforcing a mood of reflection and reverence. Crafted with sympathy and attention to proportion, this piece would be fitting for a church memorial, graveside service, or wake, offering both dignity and tenderness. For mourners in Ickenham and nearby communities, this cross embodies a quiet promise of remembrance and the comforting permanence of natural materials.

A solemn, carefully crafted floral cross photographed against a plain white background from a slight overhead angle, presented with the calm restraint of a memorial tribute. The structural base is composed of broad, glossy tropical leaves-think Ti leaves-with deep central veins and a smooth, waxy surface that catch a soft, even light and form the defined vertical and horizontal arms of the Christian cross. Concentrated at the crossing and flowing along each arm are clusters of pale blooms in a serene palette of soft white, creamy ivory and muted lavender. The principal flowers are ruffled white lisianthus, their layered petals and partly closed buds creating a soft, cloud-like presence, punctuated by small, pure white daisy-like spray chrysanthemums that add crispness and gentle contrast. Threaded throughout are tiny sprays of lavender-hued limonium or small asters, their starry shapes introducing a whisper of cool purple and delicate depth. Fine green filler foliage peeps through the floral clusters, softening edges and reinforcing the lush, living feel of the piece. The composition reads as both steadfast and tender: glossy leaves give permanence while the blooms suggest transience and reverence. There is a faint, green-tinged scent-clean and vegetal rather than sweet-that suits quiet reflection. The overall mood is dignified and comforting, appropriate for a funeral service, graveside tribute, or church memorial; its neat isolation on white highlights the symbolic cross and the workmanship behind it. For anyone in Ickenham seeking a respectful expression of condolence, this cross captures a sense of peace and enduring remembrance suitable for liturgical or secular ceremonies.

    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!
