This cross is a studied gesture of consolation, presented against an unadorned white ground and viewed from a soft overhead vantage that honours its symbolic shape. The foundation is a lush field of large, gleaming green leaves - tropical, Ti-like foliage whose sculpted veins and smooth surfaces create the pronounced horizontal and vertical lines of the Christian cross. At the centre and radiating along each arm, I arranged clusters of pale, ruffled lisianthus in creamy ivory and soft white, their multi-layered petals suggesting tenderness and purity. Small, rounded white chrysanthemums are tucked in to provide luminous nodes amid the gentler blooms, while sprays of tiny lavender-purple flowers - limonium or delicate asters - float like distant stars across the composition, offering a cool counterpoint and subtle depth. Thin, silky green fillers thread through the flowers, adding texture and the sensation of a gentle, living weave. Light plays evenly across the piece, bathing it in a tranquil glow that feels almost devotional; the overall tone is one of respectful calm, a visual hymn of remembrance. This design reads well in a chapel setting or at a graveside and is often chosen for services in and around Harringay and nearby Finsbury Park, where families look for arrangements that balance faith, beauty, and quiet hope.

A solemn, elegantly composed floral cross photographed on a clean white background from a slight overhead angle, its form immediately legible and reverent. The structural base is a rich carpet of large, glossy tropical leaves - think Ti leaves - their deep green surfaces catching a faint sheen that highlights the central veins and the sculpted arms of the cross. At the heart and running along each arm sits a generous cluster of soft-hued blooms: creamy ivory and pure white lisianthus with their gently ruffled petals and tucked buds, compact white spray chrysanthemums lending bright points of light, and tiny star-like sprays of lavender to pale purple, likely limonium or small asters, that add a whisper of cool colour and delicate texture. Fine, feathery filler foliage is threaded through the clusters, softening edges and creating subtle depth against the smooth waxiness of the leaves. The light is even and quiet, giving the arrangement a calm, almost luminous quality that feels suitable for a funeral chapel, memorial service, or graveside tribute. You can almost sense a faint, green-vegetal scent, undercut by powdery florals, and the overall impression is one of respectful serenity - the cross shape signalling faith and enduring remembrance. Crafted for compassionate service and local delivery across Harringay, including Green Lanes and surrounding streets, this style of cross is a traditional choice to express sympathy with dignity and gentle restraint, suitable for family-led services or church altars in the neighbourhood.

    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!
