SPRAYS/SHEAVES
Set against a stark white background, this elongated funeral spray takes on a graceful, tapering form, beginning tall and structured at the upper left and gradually softening into a pointed tip at the lower right. The emotional core of the arrangement lies in its deep reds: velvety roses at different stages of bloom, bold red gerbera daisies with dark centres, and frilled red carnations cluster together to create an impression of love, strength, and reverence. Weaving through these rich tones are clusters of vivid lime green chrysanthemum pompons, their compact, spherical blooms offering both a modern edge and a refreshing contrast, like the bright green of trees around Bankside on a clear day. Delicate white filler flowers, possibly miniature daisies or gypsophila, are scattered lightly throughout, softening transitions and adding gentle highlights that catch the eye without overwhelming the composition. The flowers nestle into an abundant bed of foliage: broad, glossy dark green leaves, feathery fern fronds, and varied textured greens provide structure and depth, echoing the layered greenery of nearby riverside gardens. Toward the lower right, sleek, elongated leaves fan outwards, reinforcing the sense of movement and direction, while at the upper left a bundle of tall, upright stems and one elegantly wrapped leaf draw the gaze upward, giving a contemporary sculptural finish. Created in the calm, considered style of an experienced local florist near Bankside, this tribute spray is ideal for a funeral service, wake, or memorial gathering, offering a dignified, heartfelt expression of sympathy and remembrance for families across SE1.

A refined sympathy spray of white lilies and lisianthus lies on a crisp white background, its elongated form arranged on a soft diagonal that draws the eye from fullness to a delicate point. The composition begins with a generous cluster of white oriental lilies, some open and radiant, revealing pale green throats and golden stamens, others still resting in elegant buds, symbolising lives in different chapters of their journey. Around and between them, smaller lisianthus blooms unfold like silken bells, white petals traced with a whisper of lavender that recalls the quiet, muted tones of an evening sky over Bankside's riverside paths. Tiny, tightly furled lisianthus buds punctuate the design, adding movement and a sense of unfolding time. The foliage is rich and thoughtfully layered: broad, deep green leaves create a firm foundation, while a series of longer, narrow fronds sweep outward from one side, echoing the natural arc of a casket spray or sheaf placed beside a memorial. Several leaves are artistically rolled and looped, giving a contemporary, almost architectural touch without disturbing the gentle mood. The textures shift from the smooth, slightly waxy lily petals to the soft, ruffled lisianthus and the cool, glossy greenery, creating a tactile richness you can almost feel. The spray's overall impression is one of calm composure and tender remembrance, ideal for a farewell at a local Bankside chapel, a ceremony near Southwark Cathedral, or a simple family gathering to say goodbye, where quiet beauty speaks more eloquently than words.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
Set against a clean, white backdrop, this substantial funeral spray sweeps across the frame in a graceful diagonal, wider and fuller at the top left and gently tapering to a fine, trailing point at the lower right. The arrangement is densely filled with deep red flowers that seem to hold both sorrow and gratitude in their colour. Large, velvety roses in a rich, dark crimson take centre stage, each bloom fully open and perfectly cupped, their layered petals forming soft, spiralling hearts. Between them, clusters of ruffled red spray carnations bring a lighter, brighter scarlet note and an intricate, feathery texture, creating a tapestry of red tones that feel both powerful and tender. The flowers are cradled by a generous foundation of foliage, as a local Bankside florist might prepare for a memorial at a nearby church or crematorium. Broad, deep green leaves form a solid base, shaping the elongated teardrop silhouette, while scattered sprigs of rounded, silvery eucalyptus add a cool, mist-like accent, reminiscent of the soft river light along the South Bank. From the lower edge and right-hand side, fine, trailing strands of lighter green foliage drift outward, imparting a sense of natural flow and gentle movement, as though the blooms were slowly cascading downward. The lighting is gentle and even, allowing the rich reds and layered greens to stand out clearly without harsh shadow, and giving the roses a faint, almost satin-like sheen. This classic casket spray or sympathy arrangement feels thoughtful and composed, an expressive tribute suited to funerals and remembrance services around Bankside, quietly honouring a life with beauty, dignity, and enduring love.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
Set against a clean white background, this refined sympathy spray stretches diagonally like a gentle crescent, guiding the eye from the bound stems at the top left down through a cascade of colour toward the bottom right. The focal point is a cluster of dramatic Stargazer lilies, their petals a rich fuchsia-pink fading to white edges and marked with dark burgundy speckles, some blooms fully open and others still in bud. These star-shaped flowers are surrounded by plush magenta gerbera daisies that add warmth and energy, while clusters of creamy white roses and ruffled white carnations introduce calm, tender contrast, suggesting love, remembrance, and peace. Tiny white filler flowers, reminiscent of miniature daisies, weave through the design like delicate constellations, softening transitions between the larger blooms. Around this heart of colour, a generous collar of greenery provides structure and texture: broad, glossy leaves frame the spray, feathery fern fronds extend outward with airy grace, and long, blade-like leaves sweep down and outwards to accentuate the elongated shape. The composition feels both composed and organic, as though it could have been gathered from a riverside garden along Bankside and arranged with care for a memorial at a local church or crematorium. The balance of vivid pinks and serene whites, set against deep greens, creates a mood of quiet strength and gentle condolence, making this floral tribute a fitting choice for offering comfort and respect during difficult farewells.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
An elegant sympathy spray in a classic teardrop form is displayed on a clean white backdrop, its soft colours and flowing lines immediately evoking peace and reflection. At the centre, numerous pink roses dominate, some just beginning to open and others fully unfurled, revealing layers of silky petals in tones from gentle blush to deeper rose pink. Between these, white carnations and petite spray carnations create a snowy contrast, their frilled petals catching the light and adding depth to the design. Surrounding the blooms, a mix of verdant foliage brings structure and richness: wide, glossy deep green leaves form a strong foundation, while rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves weave through the flowers, softening the arrangement with their muted, almost powdery hue. From the more rounded upper section, the spray narrows into a refined point, with slender strands of trailing greenery extending outward to create a graceful sense of movement, reminiscent of water flowing along the Thames by Bankside. The composition feels both traditional and contemporary, suitable as a dignified casket spray or as a major tribute at a memorial service. Carefully crafted by local florists familiar with the quiet courtyards and streets around Bankside, this floral design expresses sympathy, comfort, and enduring love, ideal for funeral flower delivery to local chapels or crematoria when words alone are not enough.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A graceful white and green sympathy spray is photographed against a bright white backdrop, its form flowing diagonally as though gently leaning in a gesture of respect. At the centre of the display, large white Oriental lilies dominate, some fully open with broad, satin-like petals and pale green throats, others still held in elegant bud, suggesting continuity and hope. Around them, soft white and cream roses gather in small clusters, their layered petals forming classic, rounded shapes, while fluffy white carnations and simple white Gerbera-style daisies with delicate yellow or darker centres add contrast and rhythm. Fine sprays of tiny white filler blooms drift between the larger flowers, softening the transitions and lending an airy, almost ethereal quality. The arrangement is anchored by a rich blend of foliage: deep green, glossy leaves that frame the flowers; light, feathery fronds that introduce movement; and muted blue-green eucalyptus that adds a subtle, cool note. At the top, slim green leaves are folded and bound into neat, vertical ribbons of colour. From the lower right, numerous slender palm fronds fan outward, creating a striking, asymmetric line that lengthens the silhouette and gives the piece a contemporary feel. Designed to be viewed from the front, this tribute feels composed and serene, perfect for placing beside a coffin, at a memorial table, or in a quiet corner of a Bankside chapel. It evokes the stillness of a peaceful walk along the river, offering comfort and a gentle expression of condolence to family and friends.

GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
Set against a simple white backdrop, this sympathy floral spray appears as a serene, horizontal composition, shaped fuller at the left and gently narrowing to a refined point on the right. The heart of the design lies in its deep red roses, each flower tightly furled and velvety, rising slightly above the rest of the arrangement like quiet beacons of enduring love and respect. Interwoven among these roses are generous clusters of pure white carnations, their soft, frilled petals creating a cushion of lightness that balances the intensity of the crimson tones. Beneath and between the blooms, a rich foundation of dark green foliage anchors the display, the broad leaves providing glossy depth and structure, much like the sturdy, familiar trees that line the walkways around Bankside and the nearby river paths. Threaded through the flowers are muted, silvery-green eucalyptus stems, adding texture, movement, and a gentle, soothing contrast in colour, while slender sprigs of trailing greenery sweep gracefully outwards on the right, giving the spray a subtle sense of forward motion, as though guiding a final, gentle farewell. The arrangement feels solemn yet warm, ideal as a casket spray or memorial centrepiece for a service held in one of Bankside's chapels or crematoriums. Its classic trio of red, white, and green reflects profound grief, reverence, and cherished memory. Created with the thoughtful craftsmanship of a local florist, each carefully placed flower offers a quiet message of sympathy and support to the family, providing a comforting focal point during the funeral or wake.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A refined funeral spray of red roses and berries lies diagonally across a pristine white background, as if waiting in the quiet of a Bankside chapel before a final service. The stems are gathered at the upper left, bound neatly with a wide band of folded green leaf that looks both natural and carefully tailored, like a ribbon cut from the garden itself. From this binding point, the flowers spread out in a long, tapering sweep, forming a classic, elongated teardrop shape that narrows delicately at the lower tip. The focal flowers are deep red roses, velvety and lush, arranged so that buds, half-open blooms, and fuller blossoms intermingle, giving the piece a sense of life and unfolding emotion. Between the roses, generous clusters of pinkish-red Hypericum berries provide a lighter, almost coral-red highlight and a fine, bead-like texture that softens the bold drama of the roses. All of this rests on a foundation of rich green foliage: wide, glossy leaves create a dark, steady backdrop, while bright green, feathery palm fronds and slimmer stems stretch beyond the main body of the spray, adding length, lift, and a gentle, airy movement. The contrast between the intense reds, varied greens, and the stark white background allows every petal and leaf edge to stand out clearly, much as floral tributes do when they arrive at local Bankside services or crematorium chapels. The arrangement feels calm, dignified, and heartfelt, perfectly suited to conveying sympathy, gratitude, and enduring love at a funeral or memorial gathering.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
An elongated crescent of white funeral flowers stretches diagonally across a pristine white backdrop, the composition full and rounded at the upper left and thinning gracefully into a delicate point at the lower right. The spray is composed primarily of white and soft cream roses, some tightly closed and others opening into generous, cupped blooms, their velvety petals forming gentle spirals that suggest both tenderness and farewell. Nestled among them, smaller white carnations provide a ruffled contrast, their intricate edges creating a soft, cloud-like texture that fills the gaps without overwhelming the roses. All of this rests on a bed of rich green foliage: broad, slightly silvery eucalyptus leaves peep through the blooms, their cool tone lending calm, while deeper green leaves give the piece structure and quiet strength. From the tapered end, slender stems of ruscus and other trailing greenery flow downward, echoing the natural movement of a river and guiding the eye along the length of the spray. The neutral white background keeps attention firmly on the flowers, highlighting every shade from warm ivory to crisp white. The mood is reflective and serene, ideal for honouring a life at a Bankside crematorium or for delivery to a memorial gathering near the Tate Modern. This thoughtfully arranged sympathy spray offers a gentle way to express condolences across Bankside, speaking in the language of flowers when spoken words feel too small.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
An elongated sympathy spray in shades of soft pink and fresh green stretches diagonally across a clean white background, shaped like a classic teardrop that broadens at the top left and narrows to a graceful point at the lower right. The arrangement is densely woven with pastel blooms, dominated by elegant pink roses whose layered petals open in spirals of blush and rose-pink, some fully unfurled, others still opening, suggesting both memory and continuity. Clustered among them are numerous light peach-pink carnations, their ruffled, almost feathery petals adding a gentle texture that softens the overall silhouette. Deep green foliage cradles the flowers: large, ovate leaves provide structure and a sense of weight, while slimmer, slightly curved leaves and delicate sprigs of greenery peek between blossoms and trail from the pointed end, giving the spray a feeling of natural flow, like the gentle movement of trees along the Thames by Bankside. The flowers appear freshly cut, petals smooth and unblemished, as though arranged that morning by a local Bankside florist preparing for a funeral at a nearby church or crematorium. The white background isolates the tribute, focusing the eye entirely on the interplay of pinks and greens and on the thoughtful craftsmanship that went into its design. It feels calm and reverent, ideal for resting atop a casket or placed at the front of a memorial service in Southwark, quietly expressing affection, respect, and a peaceful goodbye to a loved one.

PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
A rich red funeral spray stretches diagonally across a clean white backdrop, its elongated, slightly arched form resembling a peaceful crescent of flowers. The eye is immediately drawn to a dense cluster of deep red roses in the centre, their velvety petals tightly layered, some blooms fully open while others remain in elegant bud form. Around them, red carnations build a plush, textured carpet, each frilled blossom adding warmth and volume. Interspersed among these are bright red gerbera daisies, their daisy-like faces and darker central discs bringing openness and a modern touch to the traditional sympathy palette. Fine sprigs of white filler flowers, such as baby's breath or tiny chrysanthemum sprays, flicker between the red blooms like scattered starlight, creating pockets of lightness that keep the composition from feeling too heavy. A bold red satin ribbon, polished and reflective, forms a large bow near the top centre, its flowing streamers trailing down and gently nestling among the petals, as if framing a final message of love and remembrance. The flowers are cradled in a generous base of greenery: sleek palm leaves fan out along the sides and base, defining the spray's outline, while darker, broader foliage, likely salal or ruscus, supports the blooms from beneath, giving the arrangement a full, grounded presence. Feathery fern fronds add a touch of delicacy at the edges. This red and green tribute feels both passionate and composed, an arrangement that would sit gracefully atop a casket or stand at the front of a memorial service in Bankside, evoking the quiet dignity of the nearby river and the thoughtful craftsmanship of florists who regularly serve local families in SE1 with same-day funeral flower delivery.

£120.00
SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this elongated funeral spray appears almost to float, its colours arranged to offer calm and consolation. Rich red stargazer-style lilies anchor the design, their open, star-like blooms and gently curling petals drawing the eye along the length of the tribute. Around them, ivory and pale pink roses are tucked in at varying stages of bloom, from shy buds to fully unfurled flowers, soft as satin and suggestive of cherished memories unfolding. Light pink carnations with frilled edges create a cloud-like fullness, while white daisy and chrysanthemum-type blooms add brightness and purity. Here and there, spiky blue-purple thistles and miniature lavender-blue filler flowers peek through, lending texture, depth, and the cool tones of a late-evening sky over Bankside. The base of the arrangement is woven with lush, dark green foliage: broad, polished leaves, airy fern tips, and trailing greenery that extends beyond the main cluster to form a gentle, tapering silhouette suited to a coffin or memorial table. The composition feels carefully considered yet natural, like something crafted by a florist who understands the quiet rituals of farewell in local Bankside chapels and crematoriums. One can almost sense the mixed fragrance of lilies, roses, and fresh leaves - soothing, slightly sweet, and grounded - offering comfort to family and friends as they gather to remember a loved one with a dignified, beautifully arranged floral tribute.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Displayed against a crisp white backdrop, this asymmetrical funeral spray creates a gentle diagonal sweep from the upper left to the lower right, echoing the flow of the nearby Thames as it passes Bankside. The arrangement is luxuriously full, resting on a rich base of foliage with broad, glossy dark green leaves, soft feathery ferns, and rounded eucalyptus leaves in a muted silvery-green, all layered to give depth and structure. At the heart of the tribute are generous gerbera daisies in soft powder pink and bold magenta, their wide, daisy-like faces instantly catching the eye. Tucked among them are elegant pink roses, each bloom tightly petalled and delicately cupped, adding a note of romance and grace. Fluffy white flowers-likely carnations or petite chrysanthemums-are scattered throughout, providing a bright contrast and a cloud-like softness. Fine stems of tiny white daisy-style blooms weave in and out, contributing a light, meadow-inspired texture that feels both fresh and comforting. Clusters of shiny red hypericum berries are placed with intention, supplying subtle bursts of colour and a slightly rustic accent. The composition tapers towards the lower right where long, slender palm fronds trail outward, accentuating the cascading motion of the spray. At the upper left, a neat bundle of exposed stems reveals the hand-crafted nature of the design, as if just finished by an experienced florist near Bankside's galleries and theatres. The overall impression is serene and respectful, a thoughtfully composed sympathy arrangement well suited for a funeral, wake, or celebration of life service in the local area, expressing loving remembrance and quiet strength.
