This somber yet tender tribute forms the word DAD in large capital letters, each letter assembled from a plush, densely clustered layer of pristine white chrysanthemums that read as a continuous swathe of soft texture. The edges of every letter are trimmed with an emerald-green ruffled ribbon which frames the white field and lends a crisp, respectful silhouette against the plain background. A subtle dark green or slate-grey horizontal support traces behind the letters, suggesting the arrangement is designed to sit securely at a memorial or funeral display. Artfully placed accent clusters of rich magenta roses and small white spray blooms - freesia or similar - punctuate the letters, their colour a warm counterpoint to the snowy chrysanthemum surface. The left-most D carries its bouquet at the upper left curve, the A holds its arrangement nestled in the lower central V, and the final D mirrors the first with its cluster on the upper right curve, balancing the composition and guiding the eye from left to right like a quiet procession. The roses bring a velvety scent that mingles gently with the green freshness of the foliage; the chrysanthemums create a soft tactile impression when seen close up. I imagine this piece set under soft morning light in a chapel near Anerley or on a graveside at West Norwood Cemetery: a familiar, personal expression of respect and love, chosen by families who want a traditional, handcrafted tribute for a beloved father figure.

A dignified, three-dimensional funeral tribute spells the word DAD in bold capital letters, each letter built from a dense, cushion-like carpet of pristine white chrysanthemums. The blooms are tightly set so that the letters read as soft, clouded sculptural forms - an effect that conveys calm, purity and quiet reverence. Around each letter's perimeter a pleated, emerald-green ribbon has been applied like a frame, the ruffled green edge picking out every curve and angle and giving the composition crisp definition against the plain white backdrop. A low, dark-green horizontal support bar runs behind the letters, visible only as a subtle line that steadies the display and suggests the piece is ready for placement at a chapel, crematorium or graveside. Each letter carries a small cluster of accent flowers: deep magenta roses in varied stages from tight bud to open bloom, paired with delicate white freesia and small white spray blooms, all cushioned by glossy dark-green foliage. The first D bears its cluster at the upper left curve, the A has its spray nestled in the lower central V, and the final D is finished with a mirror cluster on the upper right curve, creating a balanced, quietly affectionate rhythm across the piece. Soft studio lighting highlights the texture of the chrysanthemum heads and the velvety petals of the roses; the scent is a gentle whisper of rose and freesia rather than an overpowering perfume. I picture this arrangement being chosen by families across Upper Norwood and neighbouring Norwood streets as a personal, traditional expression of mourning and honour - a visual, tactile farewell that reads both solemn and warm.
