This heartfelt cross, photographed from a slight overhead perspective against a clean white field, reads like a quiet hymn in foliage and bloom. Large, lustrous green leaves - the kind of Ti or tropical leaves we choose for their sculptural strength - are arranged carefully to form the cross's arms and central spine; their glossy planes and visible veins provide a calm, protective backdrop. Nestled at the centre and tracing each arm is an abundant assemblage of soft white and creamy blooms, the lisianthus taking centre stage with their delicate, ruffled faces and buds that suggest both innocence and endurance. Intermingled white, daisy-like chrysanthemums add compact brightness and texture, while clusters of tiny lavender or pale purple limonium or asters create a gentle, ethereal contrast that lifts the palette. Slender sprigs of fine green filler foliage are woven through the flowers, adding small pockets of depth and a whisper of meadow-like movement. The lighting is even and forgiving, enhancing the soft tones and the tactile contrast between waxy leaves and feathery petals. The scent is subtle - fresh green with a faint floral powder - reinforcing the arrangement's peaceful character. Designed for memorials, church services, or graveside farewells in Plaistow and surrounding Newham neighbourhoods, this cross speaks of reverence, comfort, and the quiet promise of enduring memory.

Seen from a gentle overhead angle against a plain white backdrop, this solemn floral cross reads as a quiet declaration of remembrance. Broad, glossy tropical leaves - likely Ti or similar waxy foliage - are layered to form the defined horizontal and vertical arms of the Christian cross; their deep green surfaces catch a soft, even light that highlights each prominent vein and gives the base a protective, sheltering feel. Centered at the intersection and running along the main axis sits a dense carpet of blooms in a restrained palette of soft white, creamy ivory, and pale lavender. The white and ivory flowers are dominated by ruffled lisianthus, their gently unfurling petals and unopened buds lending a tender, almost fabric-like softness, while clusters of small white, daisy-like chrysanthemums add bright punctuation and a compact texture. Scattered through the composition are sprays of tiny, star-shaped lavender accents - limonium or small asters - that bring a cool, subtle contrast and a sense of depth without breaking the arrangement's peaceful tone. Finer green filler foliage is woven sparingly among the blooms, enhancing the illusion of natural growth and adding delicate detail where the leaves meet the flowers. The scent is suggested rather than strong: a faint, green freshness with a whisper of floral powder from the lisianthus. The overall effect is dignified and comforting, suited to funerals, memorial services, or church tributes in Plaistow and the wider Newham area, offering a visual expression of peace, faith, and gentle consolation for those gathering to remember a loved one.

    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!
