This sympathy cross, photographed from just above on a stark white field, reads like a gentle benediction rendered in leaf and bloom. The structural arms are built from rich, glossy tropical leaves whose smooth waxed surfaces and visible veins create a deep green framework that feels protective and enduring. At the meeting point of the arms, and flowing outward along each limb, I have arranged clusters of soft ivory and white lisianthus - petals layered like quiet whispers - alongside neat, rounded white mums that offer small, luminous points amid the softer shapes. Sprays of delicate lavender tiny flowers, likely limonium or small asters, drift through the composition like a soft, cooling breeze, their star-like florets adding both distance and tenderness to the palette. Finely textured filler foliage peeks through, lending a natural, garden-walk feel that prevents the piece from feeling formal or stiff; you can almost imagine the faint, green scent of crushed leaf and the lightest trace of floral sweetness. Even lighting washes the scene evenly, emphasizing the creamy tones and the sheen on the leaves while maintaining an overall serenity. The densest concentration of blooms at the cross's centre gives focus and meaning - a point of calm and remembrance - while the tapering arms carry that sentiment outward. For those in Upton Park arranging a memorial near West Ham Park, or wishing to lay a tribute at a local church service, this cross embodies both faith and consolation: crafted to comfort, to honour, and to speak softly of remembrance.

Seen from a slight overhead angle against a clean white backdrop, this dignified sympathy cross measures out its quiet message in deep, glossy green leaves and soft, pale blossoms. Broad tropical leaves - the kind we use in house-wiring and Ti leaf arrangements - form the structured arms and central shaft, their waxy surfaces catching a faint, even light so the veins read like gentle lines across a verdant canvas. At the heart and running along each arm, clusters of creamy-white lisianthus with their layered, ruffled petals sit beside small, bright white daisy-like chrysanthemums, creating a stacked textural contrast between lush petals and compact, round heads. Interspersed among these are sprays of tiny lavender-purple accents, the delicate star-shaped blooms of limonium or small asters, offering a cool, lifting note that breaks the pale palette with subtle depth. Finer green filler leaves are woven through the flowers, softening edges and lending a natural, garden-fresh feel; the overall scent is discreet and green, more like crushed leaf and early morning air than an overwhelming perfume. The composition feels carefully weighted - densest at the crossing point, tapering outward along the arms - which lends a classical, reverent silhouette suited to funeral chapels, graveside services, and memorial vigils. A soft, neutral illumination bathes the arrangement, enhancing the creamy whites and muted lavenders while keeping the glossy leaves visually dominant. For families arranging tributes in Upton Park, from small services near Upton Park station to quiet memorials by West Ham Park, this cross reads as a composed, compassionate emblem of remembrance and faith, offering a gentle, timeless expression of condolence.

    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!
