TRIBUTES
A graceful Christian cross made of flowers dominates the image, floating against a clean white background in a way that draws the eye first to its colour and then to its meaning. The entire surface of the cross is covered with roses, carefully wired and placed so that no bare space shows through. Deep crimson red roses form the foundation, their velvety petals unfurled and touching, giving the tribute a sense of depth and quiet luxury. Interwoven along the vertical and horizontal bars are fuchsia-pink roses or similar garden-style blooms, slightly lighter in tone and more frilled around the edges, which lend the design a gentle energy amid the solemnity. Tiny rosebuds in red and pink punctuate the arrangement, adding small pockets of texture that feel like whispered memories. Around the outer edge of the cross, run neat clusters of tiny white flowers-possibly miniature chrysanthemums, gypsophila, or delicate spray carnations-creating a fine border that highlights the cross shape with a soft, halo-like effect. Tucked discreetly beneath this border are slender green leaves or subtle ribbon work, providing a fresh frame and a hint of structure that betrays the skilled hands behind the piece. The overall lighting is clear yet sympathetic, catching the natural sheen on the petals without harsh shadows, and giving the arrangement a respectful, chapel-like atmosphere. Crafted in the spirit of the Old Ford community, where families gather in local churches and funeral homes to say their goodbyes, this floral cross would feel at home beside a coffin or on a stand at the front of the service, conveying love, remembrance, and spiritual comfort.
SINCEREST CARE CROSS
£115.00
Captured against a bright white background, this heart-shaped funeral tribute appears almost to glow, its surface entirely made up of countless small white spray chrysanthemums placed so closely together that they form a smooth, velvety cushion. Every blossom seems freshly opened, the petals clean and unblemished, evoking a sense of calm, purity, and the stillness that follows a farewell. Following the curves of the heart is a fine emerald green ribbon border, neatly pleated around the shape to create a polished, defined edge, like a gentle frame around a treasured memory. On the upper left side of the heart, extending diagonally towards the lower centre, a vivid spray of deep magenta and fuchsia pink calla lilies draws the eye. The larger lilies at the top are fully unfurled, their trumpet-like forms showcasing rich colour that appears almost velvety beside the white chrysanthemum base, while a couple of more slender, partially open blooms drift downward, suggesting a quiet, graceful movement. Interwoven with the lilies are clusters of small, white, bell-like flowers, likely freesias, which add both texture and the suggestion of a light, sweet fragrance. Around them, varied greenery - fine, feathery ferns and glossy, darker leaves - creates a natural, flowing frame to the spray. This considered blend of white, pink, and green conveys deep affection and respect, the kind of sympathy heart families in Old Ford might send for a funeral at a nearby church or cemetery to honour someone dearly loved. The design feels thoughtfully composed, as though a local florist has carefully balanced every flower to convey comfort and remembrance.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED HEART
£95.00
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
A tender heart-shaped floral tribute is shown in close detail, crafted as a serene cushion of white chrysanthemums that completely blankets the interior of the heart. Each small bloom is packed tightly together, forming a smooth, plush surface that suggests softness to the touch, like a comforting embrace during a difficult farewell. Set against a plain white background, the flowers stand out clearly, making the subtle shadows between the petals and the curve of the heart easy to appreciate. At the upper left sweep of the heart, three rich crimson roses form a focal point, their velvety petals unfurling in layered spirals. They are framed by dainty white filler flowers and a medley of green foliage, from broad, glossy leaves to slender, feathery fronds that echo the greenery you might see in the quiet corners of Old Ford's residential streets. Further down towards the right side, two more red roses rest upon the chrysanthemum base, visually anchored by trailing strands of bright green ornamental grass that arc gently across the design. These grass strands create a sense of movement, almost like a gentle breeze passing through a garden. Encircling the tribute, a dark green satin ribbon forms a continuous, ruffled edge, giving the heart a clear, defined outline and a traditional funeral finish. The arrangement conveys a mood of deep sympathy and remembrance, perfectly suited to honour a loved one at a funeral or memorial gathering in Old Ford, where families seek a floral tribute that speaks quietly yet powerfully of love, loss, and lasting connection.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
A floral cushion tribute, carefully composed in the style favoured for Old Ford funeral services, appears almost like a bed of petals floating against a clear white background. The arrangement forms a soft rectangular pillow with rounded edges, completely covered in blooms so that the flowers seem to nestle closely shoulder to shoulder. Rich fuchsia roses and gentle baby-pink roses open wide across the surface, their velvet petals catching the light and drawing the eye to their spiralled centres. Creamy pale yellow roses are woven among them, lending a calm glow and a feeling of warmth and gratitude. Deep purple lisianthus flowers, with their multi-layered, almost frilled petals, bring depth and contrast, giving the design a dignified, serene character. Between the larger blooms, smaller spray roses, clusters of lavender-blue statice, and other tiny filler flowers create a delicate, lace-like undercurrent of texture, as though the cushion were stitched together with miniature blossoms. Silvery eucalyptus leaves arc gently outward, their rounded shapes and muted green tones softening the overall look, while slender fern-like greenery adds fine detail and a natural frame around the edges. The lighting is even and gentle, casting a faint shadow that makes the pillow shape more tangible, as if it were resting on a table in a quiet Old Ford florist workshop before being delivered to a nearby church or crematorium. This floral cushion conveys tenderness, respect, and enduring love, offering a comforting and eloquent farewell when spoken words feel too small.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION
£95.00
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
This image reveals an elegant Christian cross made entirely from flowers, set against a clean white backdrop that makes every detail stand out with calm precision, much like a display you might encounter at a thoughtful farewell service in Old Ford. The entire surface of the cross is densely carpeted with small, pristine white chrysanthemums or similar cushion blooms, placed so closely together that they form a smooth, velvety texture. Each bloom appears fresh and luminous, suggesting purity and peace. Running neatly around the outer perimeter is a narrow border of vivid green foliage that neatly frames the white centre, giving the cross a strong, defined outline and a fresh, natural contrast. At the central junction of the cross's arms, a gentle burst of colour forms a focal cluster. Here, larger roses in soft peach, delicate blush pink, and creamy ivory unfold their layered petals, creating a sense of warmth and human tenderness. The roses are surrounded by airy fern leaves, fine blades of bright green grass curving softly outward, and tiny purple filler flowers that peek through, introducing subtle notes of lavender and lilac tones. The composition feels balanced and reverent, designed to convey both spiritual faith and heartfelt remembrance. It is easy to imagine this floral cross resting on an easel near the front of a chapel or at a graveside in one of the cemeteries near Old Ford, offering quiet comfort to those gathered. This is the kind of carefully composed funeral tribute a local Old Ford florist would create to honour a life with grace and dignity.
DEEP SYMPATHY CROSS
£90.00
A beautifully composed floral cross, photographed against a bright white background, embodies a sense of quiet reverence suited to a memorial service anywhere from Old Ford Road to the peaceful paths of Victoria Park. The cross shape is completely enrobed in fresh blooms, so full that no frame is visible, only a tapestry of soft colour and texture. Large roses in white, creamy ivory, pale peach, and blush pink are scattered throughout the vertical and horizontal arms, some perfectly opened, others just starting to blossom, their layered petals suggesting both fragility and strength. Around and between them, fluffy white hydrangea heads and clusters of smaller white roses or spray roses fill out the form, building a thick, cushion-like surface that appears both luxurious and comforting. Just peeking through, tiny tips of green foliage add depth, helping the edges of the cross stand out subtly against the backdrop, while preserving the overall light, pastel impression. Delicate hints of lavender-toned statice or similar filler flowers are tucked in sparingly, lending gentle touches of purple that draw the eye to the intricate detail. The outline of the cross is soft and rounded, giving the impression of a piece lovingly shaped by experienced hands in a local Old Ford florist studio. A faint shadow beneath the arrangement enhances its sculptural quality, as though it has just been set in place for a service. This floral cross, created as a sympathy or funeral tribute, speaks of faith, peace, and treasured memories, offering solace to families gathering in Old Ford and the surrounding East London neighbourhoods.
DIVINITY CROSS
£105.00
A softly illuminated heart-shaped bouquet, composed by a seasoned florist from Old Ford, fills the frame with tender affection and artistry. This arrangement features around thirty delicate roses in varying shades of blush pink and creamy white, each bloom lovingly nestled amongst feathery sprays of pure white baby's breath. The interplay of blossoms creates a lush, cloud-soft texture, striking a harmonious balance between the gentle pinks-echoing the shades of local cherry blossoms in nearby Victoria Park-and the warm, creamy roses that add subtle depth and grace. Sprigs of baby's breath seem to float between the velvety petals, forming a light and airy halo that softens the overall design and enhances its serenity. Each rose is expertly placed, from tight buds to more expansive blooms, ensuring a tapestry of texture and movement within the heart's boundaries. Crafted for intimate gatherings or significant farewells, this arrangement radiates a sense of comfort, remembrance, and enduring affection-perfect for local Old Ford residents wishing to express sympathy or celebrate special milestones. The pristine white background highlights the freshness and care of each flower, reflecting the meticulous touch that trusted Old Ford florists bring to their tributes, whether for anniversaries, Mother's Day, or heartfelt moments in the community.

ETERNAL PEACE TRIBUTE
£90.00
A reverent floral cross fills the image, set against a pure white background that allows every petal and fold of ribbon to stand out with clarity, much like a tribute you might see at a quiet Old Ford church service. The cross itself is completely carpeted in dense white button chrysanthemums, their tiny, rounded heads packed edge to edge so the surface looks almost like soft snowfall. This thick cushion of blooms runs along both the vertical beam and the shorter horizontal arms, forming a traditional Christian cross shape associated with remembrance and hope. At the very heart of the design, a gentle posy of larger flowers provides a focal point. Several roses-some in soft blush pink, others in creamy ivory and warm peach-open their layered petals, surrounded by delicate green fern fronds and wisps of light lavender or pale purple filler flowers. Around the entire perimeter of the floral cross, a slim lime green ribbon traces a continuous border, just visible beneath the chrysanthemums, giving a careful outline that frames the pure white centre and adds a contemporary touch of colour. The lighting is bright but soft, with a slight drop shadow that makes the tribute seem almost tangible, as though you could reach out and feel the cool, fresh petals. This arrangement suggests a thoughtfully crafted funeral or memorial tribute, suitable for wakes, church services, and crematorium chapels across Old Ford, providing a gentle symbol of faith, comfort, and lasting memory for families saying their final goodbyes.

A classic heart-shaped sympathy tribute is presented on a bright white backdrop, its entire surface densely covered with pure white chrysanthemums arranged so closely they create a seamless, cushioned blanket of blooms. The flowers are uniform in size and tone, forming a tranquil canvas that radiates stillness and respect, much like the quiet corners of Old Ford on an early morning. Around the outer edge, an emerald green satin ribbon is precisely pleated and ruffled, its sheen catching the light and defining the heart's outline with a graceful, scalloped frame. This green border not only adds contrast but also evokes the calm of nearby green spaces such as Victoria Park. Nestled into the upper left curve of the heart is a carefully constructed focal spray. Two fully opened white roses sit at its centre, their creamy petals spiralling gently outward, conveying love, reverence, and farewell. They are accompanied by smaller, delicate white blooms-likely freesias or similar flowers-which introduce subtle variation in shape and texture. Around them, deep green foliage fans out, combining broad, polished leaves with soft, feathery greens that occasionally trail over the chrysanthemum base, breaking the symmetry just enough to keep the design natural and alive. The composition is balanced and intentional, every flower placed with a sense of purpose and care. This heart-shaped arrangement is well suited for funeral services, memorials, or tributes at local churches and crematoria serving Old Ford families, offering a dignified way to express sympathy, remembrance, and enduring affection when words alone are not enough.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
A cross-shaped sympathy arrangement is displayed on a pure white background, angled slightly as if gently reaching from upper left to lower right, creating a sense of flow and quiet movement. The outline of the cross is composed of small, white spray chrysanthemums, packed closely together so they resemble a soft cushion of petals, clean and serene. Just beyond this border, a narrow band of folded light green ribbon or foliage forms a delicate halo around the design, its subtle sheen echoing the fresh greens you might notice walking along the canals and side streets of Old Ford. Inside this defined frame, the floral work becomes more vibrant and expressive. Large roses in vivid hot pink and soft, creamy yellow or peach bloom fully across the surface, their velvety petals layered and open, offering a feeling of tenderness and love. Between these focal roses, bright lime-green button chrysanthemums cluster like tiny domes, adding a playful, pom-pom texture that enlivens the tribute without disturbing its respectful tone. Deep purple and violet blossoms, possibly lisianthus or statice, weave through the composition, filling gaps and creating pockets of rich, contemplative colour that balance the brighter hues. The overall design feels abundant and deliberate, as if each stem has been thoughtfully chosen and placed by an experienced Old Ford florist who understands the sensitivities of local families arranging funeral flowers. Bathed in bright, even light, every detail is clearly visible: the layers of petals, the contrast of colours, and the polished edges. This floral cross conveys gentle remembrance, faith, and a whisper of hope, ideal for a church service, crematorium tribute, or memorial gathering in and around Old Ford.
PRECIOUS MEMORY CROSS
£95.00
BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
£190.00
A refined heart-shaped funeral tribute fills the frame, positioned against a spotless white background so that every petal and detail can be clearly imagined. The heart is split evenly down the middle, like two stories woven into one. On the left, rows of creamy white to pale yellow roses are nestled closely together, their petals unfurling in layered rosettes that feel calm and soothing, like soft light over the rooftops of Old Ford on a quiet morning. On the right, an equal number of medium pink roses repeat the pattern, their slightly deeper hue adding warmth and a gentle sense of affection. The join between the two colours is crisp yet tender, with no harsh line, just a natural blending. Around and between all the roses, clouds of white baby's breath (gypsophila) fill the tiny gaps, wrapping the entire heart in a delicate, lace-like halo. The gypsophila creates a feathery texture that contrasts with the waxy, velvety surface of the rose petals, giving the design depth and softness from every angle. Everything is meticulously placed so the heart looks full and rounded, symbolising wholeness and unity even in times of loss. Crafted in the style often requested by families around Old Ford and neighbouring areas, this arrangement feels ideal for a tribute that needs to convey devotion, remembrance, and quiet romance-perhaps resting on a coffin during a service, or displayed at a wake as a graceful reminder of a life loved dearly.
INFINITY ROSE HEART
£105.00
A refined funeral tribute of three interlinked hearts appears to cascade like a gentle vine of memories, set against a pristine white background that catches soft, diffused light. Each heart is completely filled with miniature roses, their petals forming a plush, cushion-like surface in tones of dusty lavender, soft mauve, and delicate pastel pink. The colours blend seamlessly, creating a romantic haze of purples and pinks that feels both soothing and deeply affectionate. The roses are tightly clustered, giving an impression of careful, loving craftsmanship, as though every bloom has been chosen to represent a cherished moment. Around the edges of each heart, fresh green ivy curls and loops, its slender tendrils and pointed leaves defining the contours and linking the shapes in a downward diagonal flow. This greenery acts as a living thread, binding the three hearts together and suggesting a bond that neither time nor distance can break. The arrangement's clean, modern setting, with faint vertical glimmers hinting at glass or polished panels, gives it a contemporary elegance while keeping the focus firmly on the blossoms. This is the kind of thoughtful design a local Old Ford florist might create when a family wants to express devotion, unity, and gratitude at a farewell ceremony. It would sit beautifully beside a framed photograph at a service in or around Old Ford, its soft colours and cascading form offering quiet comfort and a visual echo of enduring love. The overall effect is calm, poetic, and deeply personal.

COMFORTING FEELING

A luxurious heart-shaped floral arrangement fills the frame, its outline and surface completely covered with blossoms so that the flowers form a continuous, velvety carpet of colour. Set against a crisp white background, the tribute feels calm and contemplative, inviting the eye to rest on each detail. At the centre, large cream and buttery yellow roses glow with gentle warmth, their petals tightly coiled in elegant spirals that suggest steadfast love and quiet strength. These central blooms are surrounded by a generous halo of pastel pink carnations, their frilled, cushiony petals layered so closely that they create a soft, feathery texture that defines the heart's curves. Piercing through this softness are white spider chrysanthemums, each bloom formed from many long, slender petals radiating from vivid green cores, bringing brightness and a sense of airy delicacy. Nestled between the lighter tones, pockets of deep magenta-pink lisianthus add richness and emotional depth, their ruffled, cup-shaped flowers drawing the gaze inward like small, thoughtful pauses. Delicate green foliage and petite buds weave through the composition, suggesting freshness and life, as if these flowers were gathered that morning from a well-tended garden near the canals and backstreets of Old Ford. At the narrow point of the heart, a soft pink ribbon peeks out, subtle yet poignant, marking this as a tribute made for moments of farewell. The entire design has the feeling of a personal, handcrafted piece from a trusted Old Ford florist, chosen to express remembrance, comfort, and enduring love at a funeral, memorial, or crematorium service in the local area.

DEVOTED HEART
£130.00
A luxurious heart of red and green blooms appears to float against a plain white background, every petal placed with deliberate care. At its core, several large, deep red roses create natural anchors for the eye, their layered, velvety petals spiralling inward like secret whispers of love. Nestled closely around them, bright red spray carnations and mini carnations fill the heart's interior, their frilled edges forming a rich, textured tapestry of crimson. Scattered thoughtfully throughout are vivid lime-green button chrysanthemums, each one a perfect, rounded cluster of tiny florets that brings a fresh, modern lift to the traditional red palette. The greens seem to glow against the warmer tones, symbolising hope, renewal, and the continuation of memory. Around the outer edges, variegated foliage in shades of green and cream gently frames the design, while a few dark fern fronds peek out subtly at the heart's tip, grounding the arrangement with a touch of woodland calm. The heart is full, symmetrical, and generous, conveying both strength and tenderness. It is easy to imagine a local Old Ford florist shaping this tribute for a family gathering in a nearby church or crematorium, or for delivery to a quiet home off Old Ford Road as a gesture of sympathy. Although the image is still, the composition feels alive with emotion-the silky roses, the softly ruffled carnations, and the crisp, almost citrusy greens combining into a floral message of love, remembrance, and respect that lingers long after the first glance.
ENDURING LOVE HEART
£95.00
A serene funeral flower cross is shown lying on a white studio background, captured in soft, even light that highlights every petal and edge. The cross itself is sculpted from hundreds of fresh white chrysanthemums, each bloom carefully placed by hand to form an unbroken, cushion-like surface. The petals overlap into a dense, cloud-like texture, their cool whiteness subtly warmed by the tiny pale green hearts at the centre of each flower. Around the entire perimeter of the cross runs a slim, vivid lime-green ribbon, neatly tucked and smoothed so it hugs the contours and frames the floral design without overwhelming it. At the very heart of the cross, where the arms meet, a rich cluster of purple lisianthus flowers forms a focal point. Their petals range from deep royal violet at the base to slightly lighter tones at the outer edges, unfurling in soft, ruffled layers. Tucked around these central blooms are slender sprays of fresh green foliage and a few delicate filler flowers, adding airy movement and contrast. From this focal area, a graceful trail of lisianthus buds and open blossoms extends down along the lower-right arm, as though the purple flowers are gently spilling over the white chrysanthemum base. A faint shadow falls beneath the cross, giving it a gentle three-dimensional feel, as if it has been lovingly placed on a table in a quiet chapel off Roman Road or near Victoria Park in Old Ford. This cross-shaped tribute, with its blend of white serenity and purple solemnity, looks perfectly suited to a memorial service, church funeral, or burial, conveying respect, Christian faith, and lasting remembrance for a cherished life.
