This floral cross, arranged with intentional restraint and photographed from a slight overhead perspective on a plain white plane, feels like a quiet ceremony captured in still life. The backbone of the design is a mosaic of large, glossy Ti leaves, their smooth surfaces and linear veins laid to define the cross's arms and centre with a sculptural clarity. Concentrated at the junction and extending along each limb are soft, layered clusters of flowers: velvety, cream-to-white lisianthus with their multi-petalled faces and closed buds provide the arrangement's calm heart; small white chrysanthemum sprays or daisy-like florets intersperse to catch the eye with tiny, luminous points; and feathery sprays of pale lavender limonium or asters add gentle color and depth, like a faint echo of dawn. Smaller green fillers are woven through the clusters, lending a natural, hand-touched texture against the leaves' sleek backdrop. The lighting is even and forgiving, allowing tactile contrasts - the leaves' sheen versus the petals' satiny softness - to be read easily by touch and imagination. In tone this piece is reverent and consoling, commonly chosen for funerals or memorial services in Keston and nearby neighbourhoods such as Keston Park, where families often seek a simple, faith-affirming tribute. It balances the permanence of evergreen structure with the ephemeral grace of blossoms, offering both dignity and a gentle promise of remembrance.

A solemn floral cross photographed on a clean white background from a slight overhead angle so the shape reads clearly and simply. The structural foundation is a bed of large, glossy tropical leaves - the kind florists call Ti leaves - their smooth, waxy surfaces and pronounced veins forming the unmistakable arms and central column of a Christian cross. At the intersection and running along each arm a generous, carefully layered cluster of pale blossoms rests against the deep green: ruffled, creamy-white lisianthus with their soft, curling petals and unopened buds provide a gentle, layered volume; small, rounded white chrysanthemum sprays or miniature daisies add bright points of texture; and airy sprays of tiny lavender-hued asters or limonium lend a hint of pale purple that deepens the arrangement without overwhelming its serenity. Finer green filler foliage is tucked through the blooms, softening edges and enhancing the natural, garden-fresh feel. Light falls evenly across the piece, revealing the contrast between the leaves' glossy sheen and the blooms' delicate matte petals, and a barely-there, green-tinged scent can be imagined - the faint, comforting aroma of fresh foliage and cool florals. The effect is dignified and consoling, designed for use as a sympathy or memorial tribute at funerals, church services, or graveside ceremonies in Keston and surrounding Bromley villages. As a florist's composition, it balances reverence with quiet hope, offering a visual expression of remembrance and peace that reads clearly even from a distance and comforts those gathered in quiet 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!
