SPRAYS/SHEAVES
An elegant sympathy spray stretches diagonally across a stark white background, its elongated, tapering shape reminiscent of a gentle teardrop laid to rest. The centre of the arrangement glows with deep scarlet tones: velvety red roses in various stages of opening, bold red gerbera daisies with darker centres, and clusters of frilled red carnations nestle closely together, suggesting love, devotion, and quiet strength. Bright lime-green button chrysanthemums are woven between the red blooms, their compact, rounded petals adding both playful texture and a fresh, contemporary edge that stops the design from feeling too heavy. Sprinkled among these bolder flowers are clusters of small white blossoms, perhaps daisies or gypsophila, which bring a softness, like light filtering through a window in a quiet Forest Gate chapel. Around this core, a rich framework of greenery unfolds: glossy dark green leaves, airy leatherleaf fern, and layered foliage that gives the spray depth and a natural flow. Towards the lower right, several long, arching leaves fan outward, guiding the eye along the graceful line of the piece, while at the upper left, a bundle of straight, upright stems and a single wrapped broad leaf introduce a refined, modern note. The overall impression is one of calm dignity and heartfelt condolence, a floral tribute that could be lovingly delivered to a Forest Gate funeral home or memorial gathering. Crafted with the sensitivity of a local florist who understands the area and its families, this design speaks gently of remembrance, respect, and the hope that beauty can offer comfort in times of loss.

£200.00
A serene teardrop-shaped sympathy spray of white lilies and lisianthus is shown laid diagonally against a clean white backdrop, its gentle movement echoing the quiet streets around Forest Gate. The eye is first drawn to the cluster of oriental lilies gathered toward the upper section: some blooms are fully open, their wide, pristine petals arching softly back, while others remain in graceful bud, tipped with a promise of ivory and pale green. Their subtle fragrance and golden stamens evoke a sense of stillness and reverence. Woven among these larger flowers are stems of lisianthus, their white, bell-like blossoms finely traced with lavender along the edges, as if brushed with twilight. Tiny buds and partially opened florets introduce a delicate rhythm, adding layers of texture that feel both natural and carefully considered. Beneath and around the flowers, an array of foliage forms a lush, structured base. Broad, glossy leaves anchor the composition, some folded and curled into elegant, ribbon-like forms that lend a contemporary touch. From the sides, especially the lower right, slender palm fronds and other linear greens extend outward, creating a sense of reach and gentle release as the spray tapers into a refined point. The entire arrangement seems to flow in one continuous, soothing line, like a quiet farewell carried along the pathways of Wanstead Flats or through the calm of a Forest Gate chapel. This floral tribute feels perfectly suited to honouring a loved one at a funeral, memorial service, or crematorium ceremony, embodying both love held close and the tenderness of letting go.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
Set against a pristine white backdrop, this substantial sympathy spray appears almost to float, its elongated teardrop form sweeping softly from the upper left to the lower right. The arrangement is densely composed, with deep red roses commanding attention at the centre. Their lush, velvety petals are fully unfurled, displaying that classic spiral shape which feels both timeless and profoundly respectful. Threaded among them are bright red spray carnations, smaller in size but rich in ruffled texture, filling every space so that no stem or mechanics are visible, only a seamless tide of crimson. Surrounding this core of red, layers of greenery form a calm, grounding halo. Dark, glossy leaves give structure and depth, while the rounded, silvery-green discs of eucalyptus add a gentle, almost smoky contrast. From the lower edge, finer stems and softer, trailing foliage arc outward, creating a feeling of gentle motion, as though the flowers are quietly cascading in farewell. The lighting is even and soft, enhancing the saturation of the reds and the fresh sheen of the leaves without harsh shadow. Emotionally, the design reads as deeply respectful and reassuring, the sort of tribute a family in Forest Gate might choose for a funeral at a local crematorium or church, conveying both sorrow and gratitude for a life well lived. It is a polished, traditional casket spray, crafted with an experienced florist's eye for balance and harmony, meant to rest gracefully on a coffin or stand as a central memorial display.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
A flowing sympathy spray is displayed on a clean white backdrop, its elongated, diagonal shape creating a soft sense of motion from the bound stems at the top left to the gentle point at the bottom right. The focal flowers are dramatic Stargazer lilies, their broad petals glowing with deep fuchsia-pink tones, edged in white and scattered with burgundy freckles that draw the eye into the heart of each bloom. Some lilies are fully open, while others remain in pale green and pink-tinted buds, echoing the bittersweet mix of memories and new goodbyes. Around them, creamy white roses and tightly ruffled white carnations cluster in little pockets of softness, their petals layered like folded fabric, inviting a sense of touch. Vibrant magenta gerbera daisies punctuate the design, their bold discs suggesting moments of joy remembered even in sorrow. Tiny white filler flowers, reminiscent of daisies or gypsophila, weave gently between the larger stems, adding lightness and texture. The entire piece is framed by abundant foliage: broad, glossy leaves offering structure, fern fronds providing feathery edges, and long, slender green blades cascading downwards like a final bow. The mood is serene but not cold, a comforting presence that would feel at home in a Forest Gate chapel of rest or a family home near Wanstead Park. This carefully balanced funeral arrangement embodies quiet respect and enduring affection, suitable for those wishing to send a meaningful condolence tribute across Forest Gate and neighbouring East London areas.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Displayed against a crisp white background, this elongated, teardrop-shaped funeral spray offers a serene blend of pastel pink and white flowers, thoughtfully composed to convey gentle condolence. The focal blooms are numerous pink roses, shaded from soft blush to slightly deeper rose tones, each one carefully spaced so that their layered petals have room to unfold. Some roses appear just past the bud stage, while others are fully open, their spiralling centres inviting the eye inward. Nestled among them are rounded tufts of white carnations, their finely ruffled petals providing a soft, cloudlike contrast in both color and texture. The flowers rest on an intricate bed of foliage: broad, deep green leaves form a solid, verdant base, while clusters of rounded eucalyptus in a silvery-green hue break up the depth with a cooler, misty note. Fine, trailing strands of dark ruscus extend from the narrow tip of the spray and from the sides, giving the impression of gentle movement and adding to the teardrop outline. The arrangement feels carefully balanced, fuller and rounder at one end and gracefully tapering at the other, mirroring the natural arc of a farewell gesture. Imagined as a tribute crafted by an experienced Forest Gate florist familiar with local chapels and family homes, it suggests quiet support during times of loss. Suitable as a casket spray or a prominent sympathy arrangement, this design could easily be pictured arriving fresh the same day to a Forest Gate address, bringing a soft touch of nature and tenderness to a sombre setting.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A refined white and green sympathy spray stretches diagonally across a clean white background, its graceful lines suggesting a gentle bow of respect. Dominating the composition are sumptuous white lilies, their trumpet-shaped petals fully opened on some stems while others remain in elegant bud, creating a rhythm of bloom and anticipation. Nestled close to them are soft white roses, some just beginning to unfurl, others already showing their layered, velvety hearts, intertwined with frilled white carnations that give the display a cloud-like texture. Scattered throughout are white Gerbera-style flowers, each with a pale cream or subtle yellow center, bringing a soft focal point to the eye. Fine white filler flowers sit like a delicate haze between the larger blooms, giving a sense of breath and lightness. The lush green foliage defines the overall shape: broad, glossy leaves form a deep green canvas; feathery ferns add an airy, cascading edge; and rounded eucalyptus leaves in muted blue-green tones offer a soothing, natural contrast. At the top, narrow green leaves are skillfully looped and tied, introducing a structured, vertical accent. From the lower right corner, a spray of slender palm fronds fans outward, giving the design its elongated, slightly asymmetric silhouette, as though it were flowing gently in the breeze along Forest Gate's quiet avenues off Woodgrange Road. The overall effect is tranquil and composed, a floral tribute that speaks of dignity, remembrance, and calm support, well suited for funeral services, memorials, or graveside tributes in and around Forest Gate.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
An elegant floral arrangement, flowing from the top left to bottom right like the familiar paths through Forest Gate's Woodgrange Estate, unfolds against a pure white canvas. Dominant white lilies, their large trumpeted forms exuding gentle fragrance, symbolize both innocence and reverence; some blooms are fully open, their golden centers glowing, while others rest in bud, signifying remembrance and hope. Dispersed between these luminous lilies, clusters of deep pink and fuchsia roses bloom vibrantly, providing passionate accents that carry an undertone of heartfelt tribute-much like the caring spirit shared at community gatherings off Sebert Road. Wisps of ruffled white spray carnations lend subtle texture, their softness contrasting the rounded, playful orbs of lime-green santini chrysanthemums, which sparkle with energy reminiscent of East London's nearby green spaces. Scattered throughout, bright red hypericum berries punctuate the arrangement, adding glimmers of optimism. The dense, varied greenery-broad glossy leaves folded with precision, airy feathery sprigs, and trailing palms-forms a lush, supportive backdrop, reminiscent of the neighborhood's own natural diversity. This floral composition, both structured and organic, radiates grace and calm, making it an ideal choice for expressing sympathy or marking a life of significance within Forest Gate's local community. Each element is chosen and arranged with care, reflecting the skilled touches of a neighborhood florist attuned to the needs and traditions of the area.

£75.00
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
A dignified red and white funeral arrangement is shown laid out horizontally against a bright white background, allowing every detail of the design to stand out clearly. The spray is shaped with intention: a generous, mounded cluster of flowers on the left gradually narrows to a delicate, tapering tip on the right, creating a gentle sense of direction and calm. Deep red roses, their petals velvety and rich, rise proudly from the centre and upper surface, each bloom placed to convey affection, devotion, and respect. Between and around them, pristine white carnations fill the spaces with their layered, frilled petals, softening the overall look and bringing a feeling of peace and purity. Beneath the blooms, a bed of glossy dark green leaves provides structure and depth, while sprigs of silvery eucalyptus weave through the flowers, adding a cool, muted tone and subtle texture. From the right-hand side, finer stems of lighter green foliage trail outward, giving the impression of a soft, flowing farewell. The design is calm and composed, typical of a casket spray or memorial tribute chosen to accompany a final journey. It feels at home in Forest Gate, perhaps resting in a chapel of rest near Woodgrange Road or accompanying a service close to Wanstead Park. The arrangement suggests the careful touch of a skilled local florist, thoughtfully composed for sympathy deliveries and funeral services throughout the Forest Gate area, offering families a graceful way to honour a loved one's memory.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A graceful sympathy spray of red roses and berries rests on a crisp white background, its diagonal placement drawing the eye from a neatly tied stem bundle at the top left down to a soft, flowing point at the lower right. The arrangement is dominated by sumptuous red roses in many stages of bloom, from tight, hopeful buds to fully open flowers revealing velvety petals and deep, shaded centers. Between these roses, small clusters of coral-pink Hypericum berries spill through the design, offering rounded shapes and a slightly lighter red tone that keeps the palette rich but not overpowering. The flowers are anchored in a bed of glossy dark green leaves, likely Ruscus or Salal, whose broad surfaces catch the light with a subtle sheen and frame the spray's elongated, almost crescent-like silhouette. Delicate palm fronds and finer foliage arc outward and downward, giving the tribute a gentle sense of movement, like a quiet bow or a final, respectful gesture. At the top left, the stems are gathered and wrapped with an elegant green leaf, folded and secured to look like a natural ribbon, reinforcing the sense of care and craftsmanship. The entire piece feels calm, composed, and deeply reverent-an arrangement that might be carried into a Forest Gate chapel or laid at a graveside in a nearby cemetery, offering a refined expression of sympathy and enduring love from family and friends who cannot always find the words themselves.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
An expansive white funeral spray is displayed on a pure white background, its form flowing like a gentle crescent from a lush, rounded head of flowers in the upper left down to a refined, tapering tip on the lower right. The arrangement is built around an abundance of white and cream roses, each at a different moment of bloom: some tightly furled, others half-open, and several fully unfurled so that their delicate, spiralling centres are clearly visible. Between them, smaller white carnations sit in textured clusters, their frilled petals giving the piece a soft, almost feathered appearance. The flowers are cradled in rich greenery that both supports and frames the blooms. There are cool-toned eucalyptus leaves with their distinctive silvery wash, darker polished foliage that anchors the design, and slender trails of green ruscus that extend from the tapered end, accentuating the elongated, teardrop profile so often chosen for meaningful farewell tributes. The overall palette remains strictly white and green, allowing the eye to rest on the calm harmony of tone and texture. The lighting is even and tranquil, with no harsh shadows, as if the arrangement were placed under the gentle daylight you might find in a quiet Forest Gate chapel or a family front room before the funeral. The design's careful craftsmanship and balance echo the thoughtful work of Forest Gate Flowers, reflecting the kind of respectful spray often delivered to local services along Romford Road or to gatherings near Wanstead Flats to honour a life with grace, tenderness, and quiet dignity.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
A serene funeral casket spray in soft pink and blush tones is displayed on a clean white background, the classic teardrop form suggesting it has been carefully prepared to rest atop a coffin or memorial table in Forest Gate. At the fullest end, an abundance of pink roses forms a lush, rounded crown: some blooms are wide open, revealing many layered petals in shades of blush and gentle rose, while others remain in tighter buds, hinting at love held close. Between these roses, smaller light peach-pink carnations nestle together, their ruffled petals creating a soft, quilted texture that feels almost cloud-like to the eye. The arrangement tapers elegantly down to the lower right, where sprays of slender greenery and trailing fronds extend outward, giving the piece a sense of quiet movement, as if bowing in farewell. Deep, glossy green leaves frame the pastel flowers, providing a striking contrast and a strong, supportive base, rather like the steady presence of family and friends at a service in one of Forest Gate's local churches. The spray feels balanced and thoughtfully designed, neither overpowering nor sparse, conveying compassion, warmth, and a gentle sense of peace. It evokes the impression of a tribute lovingly prepared for a funeral, wake, or graveside farewell, perhaps delivered from a nearby floral studio just off Woodgrange Road, and intended to offer solace and honour a life remembered with tenderness.

PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
A luxurious red casket spray is photographed against a clean white background, its elongated teardrop form carefully composed to convey honour and remembrance for a farewell in Forest Gate. At the centre, sumptuous red roses dominate, their velvety petals spiralling tightly at the bud stage and unfolding generously in full bloom. Around them, rich red carnations add volume and plush texture, their finely ruffled edges catching the light and creating a sense of softness amid the intensity of the colour. Interspersed among these are bold red gerbera daisies, their open, circular faces and darker eyes drawing the gaze and offering a contemporary counterpoint to the classic roses. Tiny white filler flowers, possibly baby's breath or petite chrysanthemums, are sprinkled throughout like flecks of light, gently breaking up the red and adding a sense of depth, similar to how distant lights shimmer along Woodgrange Road on an evening walk. The flowers rest on a foundation of lush greenery: long, arching palm fronds stretch outward from the base and sides, defining the length of the spray, while darker, broader leaves such as salal or ruscus form a dense, supportive bed below the blooms. Fine fern-like fronds slip between the larger leaves, giving a delicate, feathery finish. Near the top of the arrangement, a wide red satin ribbon is fashioned into a multi-loop bow, its sheen catching subtle highlights, with ribbons trailing down through the flowers as if gently guiding the eye along the tribute. The overall effect is solemn yet deeply warm, a fitting arrangement for a final goodbye or memorial service held in the Forest Gate community, whether in a local chapel or crematorium nearby.

£120.00
SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
An elongated casket spray is shown against a crisp white backdrop, its lush form gently narrowing from a wider head to a more pointed tail, like a floral river of remembrance flowing across the picture. The composition is rich and carefully considered, filled with velvety red, blush pink, and cream flowers, softened by clouds of white and cooled by subtle blue and purple accents. Deep red lilies sit prominently throughout the spray, their wide, star-shaped petals unfurling with quiet strength, while pale pink and ivory roses nestle beside them, some just beginning to open, others fully unfurled, suggesting the full span of a life remembered. Delicate pink carnations, with frilled edges, thread through the design, joined by smaller daisy-like white blooms that add brightness and gentle texture between the larger heads. Here and there, spiky blue thistles catch the eye, their silvery-blue tones and distinctive shape lending a contemporary twist to this otherwise classic funeral arrangement. Wisps of tiny lavender-blue filler flowers, likely statice or veronica, echo the cool tones and add a softly mottled depth in the background. All of this is supported by a bed of deep green foliage, with broad, glossy leaves and finer, feathered greens that extend beyond the flowers to define the long, flowing outline. The spray feels both traditional and quietly modern, perfectly suited to a funeral service or memorial in Forest Gate, perhaps accompanying a service near Wanstead Flats or en route to a local cemetery, created with the calm, practiced hands of a florist who has guided many families through similar moments.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Set against a crisp white backdrop, this elegant funeral spray stretches diagonally from upper left to lower right, creating a natural, sweeping motion that feels like a final, tender gesture of farewell. The arrangement is generously filled with flowers in shades of soft pink, vivid fuchsia, rich magenta, and calming white, all cradled in layers of fresh greenery. Large gerbera daisies stand out confidently, some in pale pastels, others in bolder jewel tones, their wide, open faces symbolising warmth and affection. Between them, classic pink roses unfold in tight spirals, their velvety petals adding a sense of romance and grace. Clusters of fluffy white blooms, resembling carnations or small chrysanthemums, bring gentle volume and a serene brightness, while tiny daisy-like flowers thread through the design, echoing the wildflowers you might notice in the green spaces around Forest Gate. Scattered red hypericum berries provide small, polished beads of colour that catch the light and offer visual depth. The foliage is thoughtfully layered, with glossy dark green leaves giving strength, feathery fern fronds adding softness, and silvery eucalyptus leaves suggesting a light, refreshing fragrance. From the lower right corner, long palm leaves arc outward, reinforcing the cascading, almost waterfall-like profile of the tribute. At the top, the carefully bundled stems are left visible, revealing the hand-tied nature of the work. This carefully composed spray feels deeply personal, ideal for resting atop a casket or standing as a main tribute at a Forest Gate funeral service, expressing love, remembrance, and quiet dignity for a life well lived.
