This floral cross is composed as a considered act of remembrance, its silhouette formed by broad, glossy tropical leaves that create a deep-green, almost protective ground for the softer blooms above. Viewed slightly from overhead, the leaves' smooth, waxy surfaces and visible veins provide a calm architectural base for the dense floral work concentrated at the centre and along the arms. The blooms themselves are an exercise in subtlety: pale, creamy lisianthus with their soft, ruffled petals and delicate unopened buds sit at the heart, paired with compact white chrysanthemums whose round forms add quiet punctuation. Threaded through these are sprays of light-lavender, star-shaped accent flowers - reminiscent of limonium or small asters - that introduce a faint, consoling hue and deepen the arrangement's tonal range. Smaller green fillers are tucked between flowers, lending breath and a lived-in, garden-fresh texture against the formal leaf base. The overall lighting is gentle and even, bathing the whites and ivories so that they read luminous against the green, while the lavender notes remain cool and comforting. The piece communicates dignity and compassion - appropriate for memorial services, funeral chapters, or for placing beside a graveside in Hendon's quieter corners such as Church End or near Hendon Park. It's a tribute that embodies steadiness and tenderness, the kind of floral offering many families in the area choose when they seek a respectful, faith-oriented expression of sympathy.

A solemn, elegant floral cross photographed on a clean white background and seen from a slight overhead angle, its form simple and dignified. The structural base is formed from large, glossy tropical leaves - the broad, waxy Ti-type foliage creating the unmistakable arms and central shaft of the Christian cross, each leaf laid to show its smooth surface and pronounced veins. At the intersection and running along the cross's length is a generous, clustered spray of fresh blooms in a tranquil palette of soft white, creamy ivory and pale lavender. The dominant white flowers are ruffled lisianthus, their layered petals and tender buds opening with a quiet refinement, paired with small, rounded white chrysanthemums that bring tiny, bright points of texture. Interspersed are delicate sprays of lavender-hued aster- or limonium-like flowers that read like a gentle wash of purple against the whites and greens, while finer green fillers thread through the composition to lift and naturalise the clusters. Light falls evenly across the piece, softening the gloss of the leaves and giving the petals a slightly luminous, serene glow. The overall mood is one of calm reverence - an arrangement chosen to express sympathy, remembrance, and hope at funeral services, wakes or graveside ceremonies. As a local Hendon touch, this style of cross is often requested by families arranging services near Hendon Cemetery or for quiet gatherings in Hendon Park, where the colours and textures echo the area's cool morning light and subdued greenery.

    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!
