Funeral
Opening this sympathy card feels a little like stepping into a soft, misty morning along a residential street in Plaistow, when the world is hushed and reflective. Fine, lace-like stems rise from the lower edge of the design, carrying clusters of umbelliferous flowers painted in gentle shades of violet, lilac, and blue-grey. Each bloom is drawn with a light, almost feathery hand, creating silhouettes that seem to sway, as though brushed by a passing breeze from nearby Plaistow Park. The background is a smooth watercolour wash of muted purples and pale greens, merging and dissolving into each other, so there is no hard line between sky and ground-only a dreamy, soothing gradient. Among the slender branches, butterflies drift and hover, their delicate wings only softly defined, suggesting both fragility and endurance. They appear to float between the flowers and the words of condolence above, linking message and image in a single, gentle gesture. The entire composition feels balanced and uncluttered, offering space for the eye to pause, much like a quiet moment taken on a familiar path near Greengate Street. The colours are cool yet comforting, evoking a sense of calm companionship rather than heavy sorrow. As someone who works with sympathy flowers for local families in Plaistow, I recognise in this design the same intention we bring to a condolence bouquet: to offer solace in a way that is respectful, understated, and sincere. This card's tranquil imagery supports the written message, creating a tender, thoughtful way to acknowledge loss and share in remembrance.
