A poignant funeral flower arrangement in the form of a Christian cross is presented against a clean, high-key white background, its lines crisp and symmetrical. The cross itself is completely covered in a tightly packed layer of white spray chrysanthemums, each head freshly opened, creating a plush, velvety surface that suggests purity and peace. There are no gaps between blooms, so the floral base looks like a continuous blanket of soft snow. Tracing the outer contours of the cross is a refined border of royal blue satin ribbon, slightly gathered and expertly secured, adding a slim yet striking frame of colour that defines the silhouette. At the heart of the cross, where the horizontal and vertical arms meet, a generous spray of royal blue flowers becomes the visual centre: ruffled blue carnations are mixed with more slender blue blooms that resemble delphiniums or orchids, their petals and spikes adding height, rhythm, and texture. Deep green fern fronds and other foliage are woven through this spray, their feathery edges extending over the white chrysanthemums and bringing life, contrast, and a sense of garden freshness. Along the vertical stem, the word "DAD" is lovingly shaped with loops of the same royal blue ribbon, each letter clearly readable and standing slightly raised against the white floral bed. The composition feels dignified and deeply personal, ideal for a Forest Gate farewell-perhaps resting in a local church off Woodgrange Road or travelling with the cortege to a crematorium nearby. Soft, even lighting and a faint shadow beneath the piece emphasize its depth and careful construction, evoking love, remembrance, and quiet gratitude for a devoted father.

A substantial floral cross designed as a tribute for a father is laid out against a bright white studio-style background, the absence of distractions focusing attention on the flowers and ribbon. The entire cross, from top arm to base, is lushly carpeted with fresh white spray chrysanthemums, their small, rounded blooms pressed closely together to form a smooth, cushion-like surface that feels gentle and comforting. Around this white expanse, a narrow yet bold band of royal blue satin ribbon runs continuously, the fabric softly pleated to create movement while giving a clean, defined outline to the cross. At the central meeting point of the cross, a carefully composed cluster of royal blue flowers forms a striking focal point: layered blue carnations with frilled petals mingle with more slender, upright blue blooms reminiscent of delphinium or orchid flowers. Nestled among them are arcs of deep green fern and leafy foliage, adding texture, depth, and a hint of natural woodland fragrance. On the vertical arm, just beneath the central spray, the word "DAD" is clearly spelled out in loops and folds of the same blue ribbon, the letters standing out in poignant contrast against the white chrysanthemum bed. The overall design feels formal yet tender, perfectly suited to a funeral or memorial service in Forest Gate, perhaps travelling from a family home near Wanstead Flats to a nearby chapel or cemetery. Balanced, even lighting highlights the contours of the flowers and casts a soft shadow beneath the cross, reinforcing its three-dimensional form and the careful craftsmanship behind this loving farewell tribute.

    The tribute was perfect. I requested to have the ribbon color changed and they were nice enough to arrange that. Good florists.
