This heartfelt cross was composed to read like a quiet benediction: a firm, verdant framework of large, glossy leaves supports a soft, layered tableau of white and pale cream blooms. The leaves, similar to Ti foliage, are arranged flat and slightly overlapping to form the cross's arms and central spine; their smooth surfaces catch a calm, even light, giving the piece a subtle, reflective base. Nestled along the central axis are clusters of ruffled lisianthus in creamy whites, their petals folding inward with a tender, paper-like texture, accompanied by small white chrysanthemums or miniature spray roses that create a luminous, textured field. Among these are fine sprays of pale lavender - tiny star-shaped blossoms such as limonium or asters - which punctuate the composition with a whisper of colour and lend an air of gentle melancholy. Delicate green filler foliage threads through the clusters, adding depth and the softness of meadow stems against the leaves' sleeker planes. The overall effect is spiritual and composed; the palette of white, ivory and lavender reads as purity, remembrance and quiet hope. The arrangement's scent would be subdued and green, the visual weight resting in its peaceful austerity rather than fragrance. Suitable for religious services, funeral chapels or a graveside setting in West Harrow or nearby Pinner Park, this cross embodies a careful balance of craftsmanship and compassion - an unobtrusive yet deeply expressive tribute that honours memory with restraint and grace.

A solemn, hand-crafted floral cross displayed against a clean white background, seen from a slight overhead angle so every detail reads clearly. The structural base of the cross is formed from broad, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti-like foliage with strong central veins and a deep, verdant sheen - laid edge to edge to create the defined vertical and horizontal arms. From the intersection outward a generous carpet of soft white and creamy ivory blooms rests atop the green platform: ruffled lisianthus with their layered, paper-soft petals and unopened buds, and tightly clustered small white chrysanthemums or miniature spray roses that carry a quiet, steady brightness. Scattered through these primary flowers are clouds of pale lavender, star-shaped accents - likely limonium or tiny asters - that introduce a gentle, cooling contrast and a subtle purple breath across the composition. Fine, delicate green fillers are woven through the flower clusters, adding depth and a natural, meadow-like texture against the waxy leaves. The lighting is even and gentle, lending the arrangement a calm, almost spiritual radiance that suits funerals, memorial services, or church tributes; the scent is faintly green and fresh rather than overpowering. As a sympathy piece this cross balances restraint with tenderness, the verdant foundation suggesting enduring faith while the pale florals speak of remembrance and peace. A local florist would describe it as appropriate for placement at a chapel altar, beside a graveside, or carried in procession - a respectful, composed tribute that reads both as an emblem of faith and a quiet expression of condolence in the West Harrow and wider Harrow area.

    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!
