SPRAYS/SHEAVES
Set against a clean white background, this elongated funeral spray unfolds like a thoughtful gesture of farewell, its tapered shape reminiscent of a gentle teardrop laid to rest. Deep, velvety reds dominate the centre, where classic red roses, some in tight buds and others fully open, are nestled alongside bold red gerbera daisies and frilled red carnations. These blooms seem to glow with quiet intensity, conveying love and remembrance that feels especially meaningful for families in Old Ford saying goodbye to someone dear. Threaded among them, clusters of bright lime-green chrysanthemum pompons punctuate the design, their neat, rounded forms adding a fresh, almost luminous energy. Soft white filler flowers, perhaps small daisies or gypsophila, drift lightly between the stronger tones, introducing a whisper of brightness and delicacy. The entire composition is supported by a lush base of greenery: broad, glossy dark green leaves create a solid, reassuring backdrop, while feathery leatherleaf ferns and other textured foliage extend outward in layered waves. At the lower right, long, graceful leaves are splayed in a fan-like sweep, guiding the eye along the arrangement's elegant line, and at the upper left, a structured bundle of straight green stems adds height, with one wide leaf wrapped neatly around their base for a contemporary flourish. This floral tribute feels both traditional and modern, the kind of considered, hand-crafted spray you might choose for a funeral service near Victoria Park or a memorial gathering in the Old Ford community, offering comfort through colour, texture, and thoughtful design.
FAITHFUL GUARDIAN SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
This pristine white-and-green spray radiates quiet confidence, a refined statement of grace captured against a soft grey background. At its core, generous white hydrangeas bloom in full, their plush clusters forming a cloud that anchors the arrangement, while white roses appear in various stages of opening, from buds to blooms that unfurl like folded notes. Interspersed among them are slender bells-lisianthus or eustoma-showing up on the left and lower right with delicate green tinges that pick up the surrounding foliage. The greens soften and lift the composition: feathery ferns sweep along the bottom and right, muted grey-green eucalyptus adds cool depth, and broader, darker leaves such as ruscus provide a crisp frame. Tiny pale green buds punctuate the density, hinting at freshness to come. A clean white border sits over the central mass, housing the bold white text that reads Florist Choice at the top, with SPRAY clearly displayed beneath, and a large ?100 at the bottom. The overlay's gentle glow lets the leaves and petals breathe through, signaling a premium, designer spray intended for meaningful occasions. Available for same-day delivery across Old Ford and neighbouring districts, this arrangement carries the assurance of professional care, freshness, and ceremonial grace to every order.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £100
£100.00
Buy now
This spray offers a quiet, restorative grace, a study in pristine whites set against lush greens. The arrangement reads as a tranquil embrace: plush hydrangea clusters in creamy white, velvety roses opening softly, and a dance of feathery astrantia that lends texture at the heart. Wisps of slender foliage spill over the edge, with curling vines tracing a gentle arc that echoes the cycle of the season. A touch of dew clings to a petal edge, catching the light as if the morning itself lingered in the bouquet. The central panel remains a white square that frames the scene, where "Florist Choice" flows in a refined script, followed by "CHOICE SPRAY" in bold uppercase, and the striking "?200" at the base. The composition uses a painterly balance of generous white blooms and verdant greens-deep, broad leaves as a dark stage, variegated greens for a soft ripple, and fine, fern-like fronds to whisper movement. This spray speaks of calm, purity, and quiet elegance, designed as a thoughtful offering for remembrance, ceremonial display, or a refined home display. It would suit a ceremony near Victoria Park or Mile End, delivering with care to nearby streets and shops, a small reminder of peace in a busy day.

A serene sympathy spray, shaped like a slender teardrop, lies diagonally against a clean white background, as if ready to be placed beside a casket or at the front of a small chapel in Old Ford. The eye is drawn first to the large white oriental lilies, their generous, trumpet-shaped blooms fully open in places, revealing soft yellow stamens and gently ruffled petal edges. Some lilies remain as elegant buds, still closed and tinged with green, suggesting quiet hope and the continuation of life's story. Threaded among these are clusters of lisianthus blooms, their white petals edged with a fine halo of lavender and subtle purple veins that resemble watercolour strokes. Tiny buds peep through the foliage, adding texture and a sense of unfolding time. The foliage itself is rich and varied: a deep carpet of broad, dark leaves anchors the design, while slender palm-like fronds extend outward, giving movement and a sense of release. A few leaves are folded and curled with florist precision into architectural accents, adding structure without disturbing the arrangement's softness. Every stem seems carefully angled to encourage the eye to travel from the full, rounded top towards the narrow tip, mirroring the journey from grief towards peace. The flowers look freshly arranged by a local Old Ford florist, ready for same-day delivery to a funeral service near Roman Road or a quiet family gathering at home, offering a message of respect, remembrance, and gentle comfort through their white and green palette.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
A sweeping, teardrop-shaped funeral spray fills the frame against a pristine white backdrop, its form wide and full at the top left and gently narrowing into a graceful point at the lower right. The arrangement is dominated by sumptuous deep red roses, each bloom open and generous, with velvety petals that curl softly outward, evoking tenderness and dignity. Interwoven among the roses are clusters of bright red spray carnations, their ruffled petals catching the light and lending a lively, textured counterpoint to the smoothness of the roses. The flowers rest upon a bed of abundant foliage: broad, dark green leaves create depth and shadow, while rounded eucalyptus leaves in a soft, silvery green weave between the stems, bringing a cool, calming note. Delicate strands of trailing greenery, reminiscent of ruscus, extend from the lower right edge, gently cascading and giving the tribute a flowing, organic silhouette, almost like a quiet river of petals. The neutral background allows every detail of red and green to stand out clearly, from the intricate carnation frills to the subtle sheen on each rose petal. Designed as a casket spray or large sympathy arrangement, this piece feels especially suited to a thoughtful farewell in Old Ford, perhaps for a service close to Victoria Park or one of the local churches. The combination of deep reds and layered greens speaks of enduring affection, respect, and the quiet support of family and friends coming together in a moment of loss.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
From the heart of Florist Old Ford's workshop, this spray carries a quiet message of empathy and remembrance. At its centre are pristine white roses, their blooms velvety and pure, surrounded by regal purples that speak of dignity and hope. Soft viburnum greens and trailing fronds frame the composition, giving it a verdant, tranquil halo. The interplay of creamy whites and gentle lilacs creates a soothing harmony, while hints of blue-violet veronica offer a note of quiet resilience. The arrangement is full and balanced, with lisianthus and freesia adding texture and fragrance that you can almost sense as you stand nearby. This premium piece rests on a soft grey backdrop and exudes a calm, respectful mood that is perfectly suited for bereavement, memorials, or a heartfelt gift of consolation. Florist Old Ford designed it with an attentive hand, reflecting East London warmth and artistry, a neighbourly promise you can count on for timely, same-day delivery across Old Ford and the surrounding streets. Overlayed on the image is the Florist CHOICE SPRAY label, sitting within a crisp white block and accompanied by the price ?300 in bold type, underscoring the value of a design crafted by a local craftsman who understands the community's needs.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00

A graceful sympathy spray stretches diagonally across a pure white background, its elongated form resembling a gentle cascade of colour and comfort. The eye is first drawn to the striking Stargazer lilies that dominate the centre, their large petals awash in vibrant fuchsia-pink, edged with white and sprinkled with fine burgundy speckles that lend depth and drama. Some lilies are in full, star-like bloom, while others remain as plump buds tinged with green, suggesting the continuation of life and memory. Nestled beside them are deep magenta gerbera daisies that add bold, cheerful notes, balanced by clusters of creamy white roses and soft, ruffled white carnations that introduce calm and serenity. Tiny daisy-like white fillers thread between the larger blossoms, giving the design a lace-like delicacy. The flowers sit on a bed of luxuriant greenery: broad, dark leaves form a strong, structured base; feathery ferns soften the edges; and long, slender blades of foliage sweep outward and downward, reinforcing the teardrop shape and giving the piece a sense of gentle movement. The stems at the top left are tightly bound, revealing a hand-crafted funeral sheaf created with care and intention. Lit evenly against the white backdrop, every petal, vein, and frond is clearly defined, emphasising freshness and detail. Ideal for a funeral or memorial gathering in Old Ford, perhaps in a local church or crematorium near the canals and walkways by the River Lea, this arrangement expresses quiet strength, love, and respect, offering a dignified floral message of condolence.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
A softly elongated, teardrop-shaped funeral spray is shown in full view against a crisp white backdrop, its tranquil colours and flowing form immediately drawing the eye. At the heart of the design sit numerous pink roses, their shades shifting gently from delicate blush to deeper rose tones, each bloom layered with intricate petals that curl and fold like fine satin. Interspersed throughout are fluffy white carnations and spray carnations, their ruffled, cloud-like heads providing a luminous contrast to the smoother rose petals. The flowers seem to nestle into one another, creating a dense, comforting blanket of pastel tones that feels both tender and reassuring. Around and beneath the blooms, a careful mix of greenery gives depth and structure: round, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves soften the palette, while darker, glossy green leaves create a rich frame that holds the composition together. From the tapered tip, slender trails of dark green ruscus sweep outward, adding movement and a sense of gentle descent. The arrangement is fuller towards the upper left and narrows neatly towards the lower right, suggesting a single, graceful tear drawn out in flowers. This design feels especially fitting for a casket spray or key tribute at a funeral service in the Old Ford area, whether accompanying a quiet farewell near Roman Road or a more traditional ceremony close to the canal. It expresses sympathy and remembrance with quiet elegance, reflecting the kind of thoughtful, handcrafted work you might expect from a dedicated local Old Ford florist who understands how flowers can bring solace at a difficult time.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
Displayed against a crisp white backdrop, this elegant sympathy spray forms a gentle diagonal, as if softly flowing from left to right, its shape reminiscent of a leaf caught in still air. The composition is dominated by large, pure white Oriental lilies, some fully open with velvety petals and prominent yellow-green stamens, others still in tall, poised buds that hint at life continuing. Around them cluster creamy white roses, from newly unfurling buds to more open cups of layered petals, their classic form echoed by ruffled white carnations and simple white Gerbera daisies with subtle cream or soft yellow centres. Tiny white filler blooms, like clouds of gypsophila or waxflower, thread between the larger flowers, lending delicacy and lightness. The lush greenery is carefully chosen and structured: broad, glossy deep green leaves provide a solid frame; airy fern fronds add feathery texture; round, blue-green eucalyptus leaves introduce a muted softness. At the crown of the arrangement, slender green blades are artfully folded and bound, creating a refined, architectural touch. From the lower right, a dramatic sweep of narrow palm fronds fans outward, giving the design its elongated, contemporary outline and sense of onward movement. The overall impression is one of quiet strength and gentle consolation, a fitting floral tribute for funerals and memorial gatherings across Old Ford, whether delivered to a family home off Roman Road or placed beside a loved one's resting place as a symbol of purity, peace, and enduring love.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
This elegant sympathy spray, artfully designed by a florist near Old Ford, evokes a sense of serene dignity amid life's solemn moments. A harmonious diagonal sweep of white lilies commands the eye, their trumpet-like blooms opening to reveal tender golden stamens, symbolising purity. Nestled alongside, clusters of deep pink roses add gentle warmth, each petal softly spiralling outward in a gesture of remembrance and love. Dainty white carnations and ruffled mini-blooms fill the gaps with subtle texture, their crispness highlighting the arrangement's fullness. Unique pops of mossy green appear from button chrysanthemums, their spherical clusters lending a contemporary touch, while small, bright red hypericum berries scattered throughout introduce a cheerful accent. Verdant foliage of every shade-broad, glossy leaves folded into modern lines, feathery wisps of light green, and gracefully trailing palm fronds-creates a lush, layered backdrop that catches and reflects soft natural light. The craftsmanship echoes the character of Old Ford, perhaps reminiscent of mornings in nearby parks or a stroll along the canal, offering peaceful reflection. Designed with artistry and care, this spray conveys heartfelt condolences, making it an ideal floral tribute for funerals or memorials across the local community.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
Set against a clean, white studio background, this elongated funeral spray unfolds in a graceful arc, as if gently leaning in a gesture of sympathy. At its centre, a generous gathering of roses in two distinct tones creates a striking yet soothing harmony: deep sapphire blue blooms glow with rich colour, while creamy white and ivory roses offer a soft, luminous counterpoint. Each rose is fully open, the petals layered like fine fabric, and together they form a continuous ribbon of colour that draws the eye along the length of the spray. Threaded between them are light tufts of white baby's breath, their minute blossoms forming a misty halo that softens the strong lines of the roses. Around this floral core, lush greenery provides structure and depth. Dark, glossy leaves sit low and solid, suggesting stability and support, while fresh ferns at the upper left lift the design with a feathery, almost woodland lightness that might remind someone of the green corners around Victoria Park, close to Old Ford. From the lower right, long, slender palm fronds trail and curve outward, lending the arrangement its distinctive teardrop or crescent profile and evoking the sense of a gentle farewell. Here and there, bluish-green foliage, reminiscent of eucalyptus, adds a cool, silvery accent and additional texture. Broad leaves are folded or wrapped into elegant bands, subtly guiding the eye and showcasing skilled florist craftsmanship. The spray conveys quiet dignity and heartfelt remembrance, perfectly suited to accompany a coffin or rest by a memorial table at a funeral service in the Old Ford area, offering comfort through its calm blue and white palette.
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
Buy now
Set against a pure white background, this elegant sympathy spray appears almost to float, its shape gently sweeping from a fuller, rounded left side to a tapered, trailing right, echoing the motion of a slow farewell. At its heart are rich, deep red roses, each bud tightly layered, their velvety petals catching the light and drawing the eye. They stand as quiet beacons of devotion and remembrance. Nestled among them are numerous white carnations, their soft, frilled petals adding volume and tenderness, like small cushions of snow resting between the roses. The interplay of red and white creates a dignified contrast, suggesting both the depth of grief and the hope of peace. Supporting this cluster of blooms is an abundant base of greenery. Shiny, dark green leaves create a sturdy framework, while paler, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves introduce a softer, smoky tone and a hint of fresh, clean fragrance. From the right side, fine, trailing stems of lighter foliage extend outward, lending a sense of gentle movement, as though the arrangement has been shaped by a quiet breeze coming off the River Lea near Old Ford. The spray is clearly designed to lie flat, suitable for a casket, chapel display, or a graveside tribute in one of the local East London cemeteries. The mood is solemn yet warm, like a carefully worded goodbye. It looks like the kind of memorial arrangement a family from Old Ford might choose when they want something classic and heartfelt, crafted by a florist who understands how to express love, respect, and final thanks through flowers.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
A serene funeral spray composed of classic red roses and lush greenery stretches diagonally across a crisp white background, creating a striking, respectful focal point. The roses, in various stages of bloom from tight buds to half-open and fully unfurled flowers, form a continuous ribbon of deep, velvety red that feels both traditional and deeply personal. Nestled among them, rounded clusters of coral-pink to pinkish-red Hypericum berries offer a subtle brightness and a gentle, tactile contrast, reminiscent of raindrops resting on foliage. The body of the arrangement rests on a generous layer of broad, dark green leaves that gleam softly, catching the light and grounding the design with an almost sculptural presence. From the lower right side, fine palm fronds and arching stems of lighter greenery extend outward, lengthening the shape and giving the spray a natural, flowing rhythm, as if echoing the curve of the River Lea that borders Old Ford. At the upper left, the gathered stems are expertly wrapped in a smooth band of green leaf, completing the tribute with a clean, contemporary finish that reflects the care of an experienced local florist. The white background allows every detail to stand out clearly-the glossy greens, the rich red petals, and the soft sheen of the berries-so that the entire arrangement feels calm, composed, and reverent. This is the kind of floral tribute that might be delivered to a quiet chapel service near Roman Road, or laid gently at a graveside, conveying love, sorrow, and support for Old Ford families during a final farewell.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
Buy now
A dignified, elongated funeral floral spray rests diagonally across a clean white backdrop, its form swelling into a rich mound of blossoms at the upper left before softening into a slender, trailing tip at the lower right. The overall silhouette suggests a crescent or teardrop, the kind of comforting shape often chosen for casket or chapel tributes in Old Ford's quiet churches and crematorium chapels. At the core of the design, a lavish gathering of pristine white and soft cream roses fills the centre, each bloom at a different stage of opening: some tightly furled, others revealing intricate spirals of velvety petals, and a few fully unfurled with cupped, open hearts. Interwoven among these classic roses are frilly white carnations, their finely serrated, ruffled petals creating a soft, cotton-like texture that gently cushions the larger blooms. The flowers rise slightly in the centre, giving the spray a subtle, three-dimensional depth, as if the blooms are gently lifted towards the viewer. Lush greenery provides a calm, verdant frame. Silvery eucalyptus leaves, muted and cool in tone, nestle between the blossoms, while darker green foliage and slender ruscus fronds arc outward and downwards, especially along the right edge, emphasizing the taper and suggesting a natural, flowing movement. The overall colour palette remains serene and restrained-whites, creams, and deep greens-so that the emotions it conveys are of purity, remembrance, and quiet strength. The photograph's soft, even lighting casts no harsh shadows, keeping the focus on the gentle textures and subtle shade differences. This thoughtfully crafted spray would feel at home at a memorial gathering for an Old Ford family, offering a tender, respectful way to say farewell and express sympathy when spoken messages feel too small.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
A refined sympathy spray of yellow roses and red berries is shown laid out on a clean, white studio background, highlighting the elegance of its teardrop form. The eye is first drawn to a generous cluster of vibrant yellow roses, arranged from the upper left and streaming gently down toward the lower right, like a soft floral river. Some roses are just beginning to open, their petals cupped and tight, while others are fully unfurled, revealing layered, golden centres that feel warm and reassuring, much like a shaft of afternoon light over Old Ford's tree-lined streets. Threaded among the blooms, small clusters of round, deep red berries provide a subtle but striking counterpoint, their smooth, polished surfaces catching the light and adding texture without overwhelming the roses. The foliage has been composed with clear intent. Sturdy, dark green leaves at the head of the spray are folded into structured shapes, creating a firm foundation that suggests strength and support. From the tail of the arrangement, long, palm-style fronds stretch outwards, each leaflet slim and pointed, lending a graceful, almost tropical sweep that softens the overall design. Every stem is securely bound and concealed, a sign of professional work by a florist who understands funeral tributes for services around Old Ford and nearby Bow. This arrangement balances brightness and serenity, making it suitable for a memorial service, crematorium farewell, or a home gathering where family and friends share memories in gentle, comforting surroundings.
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
Buy now
Set against a clean white background, this elegant sympathy spray forms a classic casket-style teardrop, broad and generous at the top left, then gently narrowing into a quiet, tapering point. The entire surface is carpeted with soft shades of pink: open-faced roses in blush and dusty rose tones, alongside clusters of light peach-pink carnations whose ruffled petals give the design a velvety, comforting depth. Some roses are at full bloom, revealing spirals of delicate petals, while others remain partially closed, suggesting a life cherished at every stage. Dense, dark green foliage runs along the base and sides, with broad, sturdy leaves anchoring the flowers and finer strands of greenery spilling delicately from the lower edge, much like the overhanging branches you might notice walking through nearby Victoria Park from Old Ford. The pastel blossoms glow gently against the greenery, creating a feeling of peace, warmth, and remembrance rather than stark sorrow. There is no visible ribbon or ornament, allowing the natural beauty of the blooms to speak on their own. This is clearly a funeral or memorial spray, designed to lie flat on a casket, memorial stone, or fronted display during a service. Every element appears thoughtfully placed, suggesting the careful hands of an experienced local florist who understands how to create a tribute that offers solace to grieving families in Old Ford, expressing love, gratitude, and a final, tender farewell.
COMPASSIONATE FEELING CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
An abundant bouquet of blush pink roses rests horizontally on a pure white background, captured from above so that every spiral of petals can be appreciated in quiet detail. Around two dozen long-stemmed roses cluster together at the lower left, their blooms forming a soft, billowing mass that looks almost like folded satin. Each flower carries subtle shifts of colour, from delicate ballet-slipper pink at the outer petals to muted dusty rose and very pale lavender within the deeper curls of the centers. Most roses are poised in that serene moment just before fully opening, the buds still tight but clearly unfurling, while a few blossoms reveal more of their layered hearts, suggesting time and unfolding memories. Strong, straight stems fan out towards the upper right of the frame, surrounded by dense, dark green foliage that appears fresh, hydrated, and carefully cleaned of thorns, as a professional Old Ford florist would do before tying a hand-tied bouquet. The leaves' deep emerald tone contrasts beautifully with the pastel blooms, making the pink appear even softer against the bright, uncluttered white surface. The lighting is gentle and even, without harsh shadows, evoking a calm studio space or a quiet back room of a flower shop just off Old Ford Road where sympathy arrangements are thoughtfully prepared. This rose bouquet conveys a sense of peace and solace, the kind of comforting floral tribute that might be sent to a family in mourning in Bow or Fish Island, expressing love, remembrance, and support when words feel inadequate.
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00

A luxurious red casket spray is photographed against a stark white background, highlighting the intensity of its colour and the care in each placement of flower and foliage. The composition forms a long, tapering oval, widest at the centre and narrowing gently towards each end, like a soft teardrop resting in stillness. At its heart are sumptuous red roses, their petals dense and velvety, mingling closely with clusters of deep red carnations that add a plush, cushion-like texture. Scattered among them, flat-faced red gerberas introduce a bolder, modern note, their daisy-like blooms opening outward in clean circles that catch the light. Small white filler flowers, airy and delicate, nestle between the larger blooms, offering quiet flashes of brightness that prevent the reds from feeling too heavy. A vivid red satin ribbon, tied into a graceful bow near the upper section, sends its long streamers weaving through the flowers, suggesting a final, loving inscription. Surrounding the blooms, sweeping palm leaves fan out in arcs, while darker, broader foliage and feathery fronds layer underneath, giving the spray depth and an almost cradle-like shape. The overall mood is solemn yet warm, suitable for a memorial or funeral service in Old Ford, perhaps travelling from a family home near Old Ford Road to a local chapel. Crafted with the kind of thought and experience you'd expect from a neighbourhood florist, the arrangement expresses enduring love, respect, and a heartfelt goodbye.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART CASKET SPRAY
£120.00
Buy now
Arranged in a classic cascading teardrop form, this sympathy spray balances quiet dignity and modern refinement in tones of white and green, an arrangement we might prepare at Florist Old Ford for deliveries across Old Ford and the nearby Roman Road Market. Several creamy white roses, some unfolding their layers like gentle breaths and others held as compact buds, create a tender central cluster whose petals suggest softness under the hand. Two elegant white calla lilies, their trumpet shapes almost sculptural, rise with serene authority, while vivid lime-green button chrysanthemums - densely petalled and spherical - offer both texture and a bright visual heartbeat against the pale flowers. Fine clouds of white baby's breath are interwoven throughout, diffusing lightness and a delicate, floral whisper. The supporting foliage is rich and varied: deep glossy leaves provide depth and weight, variegated foliage with crisp white stripes lifts luminosity, and soft fern fronds at the top recall a quiet woodiness. Long slender blades of bright green foliage sweep over and around the spray, suggesting motion and direction, and the composition tapers to a large, smooth, bright green tropical leaf that forms a pointed tail. A wide, cream-toned fabric bow at the top-left corner adds a comforting, formal touch. In soft studio light against a white backdrop the textures read clearly - satiny blooms, feathery fillers, and polished leaves - and the overall impression is one of calm remembrance, a piece appropriate for funeral tributes or condolence services in the local community.
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Buy now
Set against a crisp white backdrop, this long, graceful funeral spray stretches diagonally across the frame, full and abundant from end to end. The composition is anchored by dramatic deep red lilies, their large, star-shaped blooms opening outward and drawing the eye in the way a strong, comforting presence might in a room of mourners. Around these lilies, layers of roses in cream, blush pink, and subtle lavender soften the overall effect; some roses are tight, hopeful buds, while others are fully open, revealing spirals of velvety petals that speak of shared memories and lasting affection. Light pink carnations, with their finely ruffled edges, create texture and depth, mingling with clusters of white spray chrysanthemums and tiny daisy-like flowers that lend a sense of quiet purity. Scattered among the warmer tones, spiky blue-purple thistles and wisps of lavender-blue filler blooms provide cool accents, like shadows on a calm day over Old Ford's green spaces and towpaths. The entire display rests on a generous mass of greenery, including glossy oval leaves and soft, ferny fronds that extend beyond the flowers, giving the spray an almost flowing, river-like outline. There is a feeling of calm movement, as though the flowers are gently drifting, making this design especially fitting for a final farewell or memorial gathering. Created in the spirit of a local Old Ford florist who understands how flowers can hold a family's emotions, this tribute is ideal for honouring a loved one with grace and heartfelt sincerity at a funeral service or cremation ceremony.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Buy now
A sophisticated, hand-tied sympathy spray rests visually on a clean white backdrop, its form stretching diagonally from a full, rounded top left to a softly trailing lower right, as though it were designed to lie gracefully along a coffin or be displayed as a standing tribute. At the heart of the design are large gerbera daisies, some in a tender powder-pink and others in bold fuchsia and magenta, their layered petals radiating from dark centres that add quiet depth. Between them, pink roses with elegantly spiralled centres provide a classic touch, each bloom poised at just the right stage of opening to suggest tenderness rather than drama. Framing these are clouds of small white flowers, likely carnations or dianthus, whose frilled edges lend gentle texture and contrast. Scattered throughout, dainty white daisy-like blossoms evoke the charm of wild chamomile, recalling the soft, informal beauty of green spaces around Old Ford and the towpaths near Mile End. Small clusters of bright red hypericum berries nestle among the petals, offering warm, berry-red highlights that subtly ground the palette of pinks and whites. The entire spray is anchored by layered foliage: glossy, dark green leaves forming a deep base; bright green fern fronds adding light, feathery movement; and rounded, silver-green eucalyptus leaves that hint at a cool, soothing fragrance. Long, slender palm leaves extend from the lower right side, reinforcing the sense of gentle motion and a flowing farewell. At the upper left, the trimmed stems are visible, tightly gathered to show expert, careful workmanship. This thoughtful funeral arrangement, much like those created for services in and around Old Ford, is designed to express sympathy, comfort grieving hearts, and honour a cherished life with refined beauty.

This elongated, hand-tied floral tribute presents a quiet study in white and green, its visual line sweeping diagonally from top-left to bottom-right like a gentle salute. Several creamy white Calla Lilies form the principal voice-each trumpet-shaped bloom sculpted with waxy, luminous petals that tilt gracefully toward the right, suggesting purity and reverence. Surrounding them, a rich assortment of foliage creates contrast and structure: large, glossy tropical leaves folded and layered to provide an architectural base; variegated striped leaves that breathe lightness into the centre; and soft, ferny fronds that peek out to soften edges and add depth. Narrow, grass-like blades arch with delicate movement, while tiny, pale-green leafy clusters sit between the larger elements as natural, textural fillers. A generous off-white linen or burlap-style bow anchors the upper-left corner, its tactile weave bringing a handcrafted, almost heritage feel. The composition sits on a pristine white background, allowing subtle shadows and the flowers' sculptural forms to show clearly-an effect I craft often at Florist Old Ford when preparing pieces for local services near Victoria Park or deliveries along Old Ford Road. The scent is discreet: clean floral notes with a hint of green earthiness from the foliage. This arrangement reads as dignified and contemporary, appropriate for memorial occasions, serene wedding moments, or elevated home decor. It is designed to convey solace and timeless taste through its clean lines, natural textures, and careful balance-an arrangement that translates well into the quiet streets and canal-side spaces around Old Ford.
ETERNAL REST SPRAY
£70.00
Buy now
This studio image presents a carefully gathered cluster of yellow roses, approximately two dozen in all, arranged with the quiet elegance that suits a sympathy bouquet. Spread across a pure white background, the roses form a loose fan, with each bloom thoughtfully angled so the layered petals can be seen. Some flowers are still tightly wrapped at the centre, while others are beginning to unfurl into open cups of soft, buttery yellow, echoing gentle sunlight over the terraces of Old Ford. The colour is vivid but not harsh, lending a sense of calm reassurance rather than celebration. Rich, dark green foliage weaves between the heads, the leaves showing both their deep upper surfaces and lighter undersides, adding texture and a subtle, natural rhythm similar to the greenery you might notice on a quiet walk towards Roman Road. The stems, a fresh light green, extend together in one direction, hinting at a hand-held bouquet that has just been laid down in a moment of reflection. There are no ribbons or decorative extras, only the honest beauty of the roses themselves, making this image especially suitable for condolence messages, funeral tributes, or memorial services. The arrangement suggests both remembrance and gratitude, as if each petal holds a shared story. It feels like the kind of understated floral gesture a family in Old Ford might choose when they wish to say, simply and sincerely, that someone is loved and will be missed.
