LETTER TRIBUTES
This handcrafted sympathy tribute spells out DAD in bold, capital floral letters, each face densely covered with hundreds of small white chrysanthemums to create a plush, serene surface that feels both pure and consoling. The letters are edged in a rich emerald-green pleated ribbon that adds definition and a subtle formal edge against the bright white background, where even, gentle lighting clarifies the texture of petals and leaves. Atop each letter, thoughtfully placed clusters of deep red roses bring warmth and depth; they are paired with delicate white freesia and creamy lisianthus buds and finished with lush greenery-together suggesting the scent, softness and layered emotion of remembrance. The left D carries a prominent spray on its upper curve, the A is accented near the base of its left stem with a graceful loop of foliage, and the right D mirrors the first, creating a balanced, mirror-like composition. Discreet dark green or black metal bars behind the letters are visible only enough to reassure of the structure and scale of the piece, the kind of sturdy support we use for larger cemetery or church arrangements. As a local Upper Norwood florist, Florist Upper Norwood often prepares floral letters like this for memorials around Crystal Palace Park, Westow Hill and the surrounding streets, offering a dignified, personalised tribute that reads clearly from a graveside or during a service, where the combination of white chrysanthemums and red roses speaks of steadfast love and profound respect.
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
In this softly lit studio image, a bespoke three-letter funeral tribute spelling "MOM" stands out clearly against a neutral grey backdrop, an arrangement that would feel at home in a quiet chapel in Upper Norwood or near Crystal Palace Park. Encased within a clean white rectangular frame, the three floral letters align neatly, each one expertly filled with dense white chrysanthemums. The flowers are packed so closely that their ruffled petals touch and overlap, forming a plush, almost quilted surface that feels gentle and comforting. On the first M, high on its upper left curve, a small posy of vivid fuchsia-pink roses and softer pink rosebuds interrupts the field of white. This accent is backed by fronds of fresh green fern, which introduce movement and a natural, woodland feel, reminiscent of the greenery around Church Road. The central O is quieter, its circular form marked only by a single, delicately opened blush-pink rose placed at the base, like a focal point that naturally draws the eye. At the far right, the second M echoes the first, with a matching cluster of fuchsia roses and fern leaves carefully placed at the upper right to create symmetry. Over the centre of the image, within the white border, white text reads "3 LETTER" in a clear, modern font, and "Tribute" beneath in a flowing script that suggests a handwritten dedication. At the very sides of the scene, the edges of additional white chrysanthemum letters appear, accented with more pink roses and foliage, hinting at custom words and initials often commissioned by families in Upper Norwood as a final, floral message of love and remembrance.
3 LETTER TRIBUTE
£155.00
In this detailed funeral arrangement, the word "DAD" is spelled out in large, upright letters, reminiscent of the touching tributes often seen at services around Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace. Each letter is built on a sturdy frame, with slender dark bars just visible behind the flowers, allowing the piece to stand proudly beside a coffin or at the front of a chapel. The faces of all three letters are entirely covered with pristine white chrysanthemums or similar small, tightly clustered blooms. The flowers are placed so closely that they form a seamless, plush surface, their many petals creating a cushion-like texture that feels soft and comforting even in the image. The pure white colour suggests innocence, gratitude, and a gentle farewell, like a quiet pause on a shaded street off Westow Hill. Around the outside edge of each letter, a rich emerald green satin ribbon is carefully pleated and ruffled, forming a neat border that frames the letters and sets them apart from the background. The ribbon's subtle sheen and deep green tone echo the foliage woven throughout the design and recall the natural greens of Upper Norwood's parks and gardens. Thoughtful accent sprays bring depth and meaning: at the upper left side of the first "D," a small posy of white freesia and fresh greenery introduces delicate movement and the suggestion of fragrance. Two long arching green stems draw the eye from this point diagonally across to the central "A," where a striking spray of flowers forms the emotional heart of the design. Here, two deep purple calla lilies, with elegant, trumpet-like blooms, are nestled among white freesia blossoms and glossy green leaves, creating a rich, solemn contrast. The final "D" carries a smaller, echoing cluster of white freesia and foliage on its upper right edge. Against the clean white background, this tribute speaks of enduring love, remembrance, and the deep sorrow that accompanies saying a last goodbye to dad.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
This atmospheric image centres on a customised four-letter funeral flower tribute, presented with a quiet elegance that echoes many services held around Upper Norwood's churches and chapels. Stretching across the scene, partially veiled by a central graphic, are four sturdy floral letters forming a name or word. They are densely packed with pristine white chrysanthemums, each bloom nestling against the next to create a thick, cushion-like surface that softens the outlines. A trim of pale pink ribbon runs around the sides of each letter, a subtle contour that lends a gentle, almost blush-toned halo to the pure white flowers. Nestled at intervals within the letters, full-headed red roses bloom amid clusters of dark green foliage, their velvety petals spiralling inward and drawing the eye. These touches of red and green offer both visual contrast and emotional symbolism-love, memory, and the continuity of life. Over the central portion of this tribute lies a dark grey, semi-transparent square bordered in bright white, giving the design a modern, layered feel. Through the grey, the outlines of the floral letters remain visible, with hints of red roses and leafy texture peeking through. On top of this panel, white text clearly states "4 LETTER" above "Tribute" written in a flowing script, connecting the graphic message to the floral artistry beneath. The background around the frame is a calm, uniform light grey, ensuring the viewer focuses solely on the tribute. The composition evokes the kind of bespoke sympathy flowers that might travel from a trusted Upper Norwood florist to a funeral, wake, or cremation service along Church Road or near the Crystal Palace Triangle, offering a personal way to say goodbye.
4 LETTER TRIBUTE
£200.00
A beautifully composed image features a custom five-letter floral tribute, designed for a funeral or memorial, set against a soft, light grey background that keeps the emphasis on the flowers themselves. Each letter, built on a solid base, is fully covered with crisp white chrysanthemums or carnations, the small, layered petals packed so closely that they form a smooth, padded surface, evoking a sense of tenderness and peace. The outline of every letter is finished with a narrow trim of deep purple satin ribbon, its rich tone and subtle shine providing a graceful contrast that cleanly defines each character. Scattered thoughtfully along the letters are small accent clusters of pale pink and mauve spray roses, accompanied by fresh green fern fronds and hints of foliage, adding gentle colour variations and a touch of natural movement, as if the blooms had just been gathered from a quiet garden. Visible portions of the letters suggest the arrangement spells "JOHN A," though some sections are covered by a central design element, demonstrating how a name or meaningful word can be tailored to honour a particular person. At the heart of the image, a darker grey square overlay edged in white displays the words "5 LETTER" in clear white block capitals, while the word "Tribute" flows beneath in elegant script, reinforcing the personalised nature of the design. The overall feeling is one of calm respect and heartfelt remembrance, very much in keeping with the type of tribute families around Upper Norwood might choose for services near Norwood Park or along Church Road, where such floral letters become a gentle, beautiful way to say goodbye. Crafted with the eye of an experienced local florist, the composition balances solemnity with quiet warmth.
5 LETTER TRIBUTE
£240.00
A carefully crafted memorial arrangement spells DAD in three large, free-standing letters, each formed from a tight mass of snow-white chrysanthemums that create a soft, voluminous surface like fresh falling frost. The letters are bordered with a pleated, emerald-green ribbon that crisply outlines every curve and offers a cool, respectful contrast to the warm tones of the accent blooms. A slim, dark green or grey support bar sits discreetly behind the letters, giving the piece the strength to stand at a church service or beside a grave. Clusters of deep magenta roses - some just unfurling, others fuller and more open - sit on each letter with small sprays of white freesia and delicate white filler flowers, all set against rich green foliage for depth. The initial D is graced with its bouquet at the upper left curve, the A holds a graceful cluster in the lower central V, and the closing D carries its accent on the upper right curve, which creates a comforting symmetry and a feeling of thoughtful placement. The texture is tactile and soft, the scent faintly floral from the roses and freesia, and the overall mood is one of tender remembrance. As a local touch, this is the kind of bespoke lettering we often prepare for families from Crystal Palace Road and Westow Hill - Florist Upper Norwood can arrange careful local delivery across Upper Norwood, Norwood High Street and nearby streets for services and wakes.
GRACIOUS DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
6 LETTER TRIBUTE
£290.00
A dignified memorial arrangement that spells out DAD in three rounded block letters, each letter densely formed from pristine white spray chrysanthemums to create a soft, uniform surface that feels both gentle and reverent. The contours are neatly outlined in a ruffled deep-green satin ribbon, which gives each letter a crisp silhouette against the white face, and a set of thin dark green metal bars runs unobtrusively behind the trio to support the structure as one composed tribute. On the upper left curve of the leftmost D a radiant cluster of bright yellow roses-about three to four blooms-nestles into the white, complemented by delicate white freesias and tiny gypsophila, their green foliage and two long, slender bare stems sweeping diagonally toward the central letter to create movement across the piece. The A is graced on its lower left stem with two striking deep purple calla lilies, their elegant, trumpet-shaped blooms lending a solemn, sculptural accent surrounded by small white fillers and glossy greenery. The rightmost D mirrors the left with a matching cluster of sunny yellow roses and white accents, producing a balanced and sympathetic composition. Presented on a clean white backdrop, the textures-the soft chrysanthemums, satiny ribbon, smooth calla petals, and glossy leaves-are audible to the imagination and faintly floral in scent. Crafted with the attention of a local florist in mind, this design is appropriate for funeral services or bereavement tributes across Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace, and Florist Upper Norwood can arrange careful local delivery to family homes or chapels nearby.
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
A beautifully arranged funeral tribute spells out "DAD" in three prominent floral letters, placed against a bright white background that makes every hue appear vivid and clean. Each letter - the first D, the A, and the last D - is built around a lush backing of glossy green fern foliage, with the feathery leaves carefully trimmed to follow the shape of the characters and form a neat, natural border. Above this base, the florist has created a full, textured layer of white chrysanthemums and wide-petalled white gerbera daisies, their soft, rounded petals overlapping like feathers to give a sense of tranquillity and respect. Scattered among the whites are cheerful yellow gerbera heads and small clusters of yellow spray roses, which bring a gentle brightness and hint at fond, sunny memories. Deeper colour notes appear through purple lisianthus and rich magenta or deep pink spray roses, accompanied by tiny lavender flowers that add subtle shading and depth. Fresh green button chrysanthemums peek between the petals, lifting the whole palette and introducing movement and contrast. Every bloom faces outward, forming a clear, legible tribute suitable for display beside a coffin or at the front of a church. Thin, dark green bars link the three letters, keeping them in line while remaining unobtrusive. This arrangement suits a family in Upper Norwood wanting to honour a father whose life was rooted in the local community, perhaps remembered from walks near Crystal Palace Park or visits along Beulah Hill. It balances sorrow with warmth, offering a tender, visually striking way to say goodbye to a beloved dad.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
This dignified memorial composition features a smooth grey backdrop against which a darker grey square is centred, rimmed by a fine white border that adds clarity and structure. Inside the square, all text is set in bright white: a large numeral "7" sits at the top, followed by the word "LETTER" in a smaller, crisp uppercase font, and finally the word "Tribute" appears beneath in an elegant script that curves gently, suggesting warmth and emotion. Behind and partially obscured by this central block lies a floral lettering arrangement spelling out "GRANDAD", created as a seven-letter funeral tribute. Each letter is formed from compact white chrysanthemums or similar small-petalled blooms, packed tightly to give a dense, soft texture that feels both comforting and formal. The bright white of the flowers is punctuated by clusters of rich purple blossoms and sprigs of lush green foliage, placed at thoughtful intervals along the letters to add contrast and a sense of life. On the left, part of the initial G peeks into view, while the following R, A, N, D, A, and final D extend behind the square toward the right, just visible enough to suggest their forms. The overall mood is reflective and respectful, the sort of tribute that families in Upper Norwood might choose for a service or crematorium gathering, perhaps after a quiet walk through Norwood Park or up Beulah Hill. The image highlights the craftsmanship involved in arranging each letter and shows how a grandfather's name or title can be lovingly expressed in flowers for a final farewell.
7 LETTER TRIBUTE
£330.00
An intimate, expertly formed funeral tribute spelling MUM, presented on a crisp white background so the florist's hand and sentiment are immediately legible. The body of each capital letter is entirely composed of tightly packed white chrysanthemums, their small blooms layered to produce an even, pillowy surface and a refined, consoling texture. A soft ruffled blush-pink ribbon traces each letter's outline, lending an affectionate, almost fabric-like embrace to the floral typography. Visible between the letters is a discreet dark-green support armature that keeps this standing tribute poised for display at a chapel, church hall or graveside. Three decorative posies break the white with a confident splash of colour: fuchsia-pink roses in varying stages of bloom, glossy fern-like foliage and clusters of coral-hued hypericum berries are placed on the top left of the first M, in the inner curve of the U, and on the upper right of the final M. The roses offer a gentle perfume that lifts from the piece, the berries add small, firm accents, and the foliage imparts a soft, verdant outline - texture and scent working together to evoke warmth and remembrance. Crafted with care by Florist Upper Norwood for families around Crystal Palace Parade and Crown Lane, this arrangement reads as a personal goodbye - a traditional, deeply felt expression of love and respect suitable for a funeral service, wake or graveside dedication in the local community.
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
This photograph shows a beautifully composed "OUR MUM" floral tribute, arranged as a horizontal line of large capital letters crafted entirely from fresh flowers. Against a plain white background, the design stands out with clarity and elegance, as if ready to be placed at a funeral service for a beloved mother from Upper Norwood. Each letter is densely filled with small white chrysanthemum-type blooms, their tightly layered petals creating a soft, textured surface that suggests comfort and serenity. Around the outside edge of every letter runs a neat, continuous border of deep red flowers, likely red carnations or spray blooms, forming a vivid frame that emphasises the lettering and adds warmth and depth. Three thoughtfully positioned clusters of deep red roses, surrounded by lush green foliage and fine fern fronds, are placed along the tribute: one between the "O" and "U", another between the "U" and the first "M", and the last at the far right of the final "M". These rose groupings draw the eye gently from left to right, like memories revisited along Church Road or near the high street in Upper Norwood. Slim dark green support bars at the back discreetly connect the letters, hinting at a strong frame that allows safe transport and display at a chapel or graveside. The blend of white, red, and green carries powerful symbolism-peace, love, and continuity-while the handcrafted nature of the tribute reflects time, care, and respect. This "OUR MUM" arrangement feels deeply personal, a floral message that honours a mother's life with quiet grace and lasting affection.
OUR MUM TRIBUTE
£290.00
A meticulously crafted sympathy arrangement spells MUM in bold capital letters, each letter densely cloaked in hundreds of fresh white chrysanthemums to create a uniformly pristine, pillow-like surface that catches the light with a gentle, satin glow. Delicate accents of soft lavender and pale pink roses are placed with considered balance: a cluster of several lavender roses and a single pink bud dresses the upper left arm of the first M, another harmonious grouping nestles in the curve of the U, and a third mirror cluster adorns the upper right of the final M. The roses' subtle sweet fragrance mixes with the faint, green-tinged aroma of chrysanthemums, inviting quiet reflection. Slender fern fronds and small fresh green leaves thread through the composition, their textures and shades providing depth, movement, and a natural contrast to the snow-white flowers.

A dark green structural frame - perhaps ribbon-wrapped or moss-covered - peeks beneath the blooms, forming a discreet outline and ensuring the letters hold their shape during a funeral service or graveside dedication. As Florist Upper Norwood we often prepare this design for local families, imagining it placed beside the lectern at a church on Church Road or left at a loved one's resting place near Westow Hill. The overall mood is one of peace, respect, and lasting remembrance: a personal, classic tribute thoughtfully assembled to honour a mother's memory in the Upper Norwood community.
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
A graceful "MUM" floral tribute fills the frame of this photograph, standing out sharply against a clean, white background that draws attention to every petal and curve. The three capital letters are carefully formed from a base of sturdy green frames, which have been completely hidden beneath a thick covering of white spray chrysanthemums. Each tiny bloom is fitted precisely into place, creating a smooth, padded texture that feels both pure and comforting, reminiscent of morning light over the houses and gardens of Upper Norwood. Along the lower edge of the letters, a deep green ribbon and foliage line peeks through, giving a subtle visual weight and connecting the flowers to the natural world outside, much like the greenery around Norwood Park or the wooded slopes of Crystal Palace Park. To bring warmth and individuality, the florist has added clustered accents of brighter colour: a focal spray of flowers at the upper left of the first "M", a second at the dip of the "U", and a third at the upper right of the final "M". Each cluster is built around a velvety fuchsia rose, complemented by dainty pink spray roses and light, feathery fern fronds that arc gracefully over the white chrysanthemums. The pink tones add a sense of tenderness and affection, while the ferns introduce a gentle movement, as if touched by a soft breeze. This arrangement feels like a heartfelt message spoken in blooms, the kind a family in Upper Norwood might choose to honour a devoted mother at a funeral or memorial service, expressing both deep respect and loving remembrance without need for many words.
PINK GARDEN MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
In this photograph, a carefully crafted floral arrangement spells out "MUM" in large, capital letters, each letter resting side by side on a hidden frame against a pure white background. The entire surface of every letter is covered with pristine white spray chrysanthemums, their small, rounded blooms pressed tightly together to create a thick, velvety layer of petals. The blossoms catch the light softly, producing subtle shadows and highlights that bring depth to the otherwise uniform white. Around the edges, a slim border of dark green foliage and ribbon follows every curve and angle, helping the letters stand out clearly and revealing a glimpse of the expert structure that supports the design. To add warmth and emotional softness, the florist has introduced three accents of roses in delicate shades of peach and blush pink. One cluster decorates the upper left arm of the first "M," another nestles at the base of the "U," and the final group adorns the top right of the last "M." Within each cluster, some roses are fully open while others remain partially closed, accompanied by lush green leaves and light, feathery ferns that spill gently over the chrysanthemums. The combination of cool white and warm pastel tones creates a soothing, balanced palette that feels particularly fitting for a funeral or cremation service. It is the sort of thoughtful, personal tribute families in Upper Norwood might choose, perhaps for a farewell at a nearby church or crematorium, to honour a mother's life with flowers that speak of tenderness, care, and enduring love.
PEACH ACCENTS MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
This personalised floral tribute forms the word "MUM" in large, sculpted letter shapes, each letter densely composed of fresh white chrysanthemums that create a plush, cloud-like surface. The arrangement balances simplicity and detail: clusters of deep magenta and purple spray chrysanthemums are artfully interwoven through the white base to add a whisper of pattern and visual rhythm, while vibrant pink spray roses punctuate the composition - a neatly gathered trio at the top left of the first M, a more generous cluster of roses and ferns tucked into the lower curve of the U, and a matching rose cluster at the top right of the final M. Dark green foliage and soft fern fronds cradle each bouquet, and tiny blue accent flowers peek out like quiet notes of consolation. A slim, dark bar runs horizontally at the letters' base, giving a subtle sense of connection and stability to the whole piece. Photographed against a plain white backdrop with gentle, diffused light, the tribute emphasises texture: the chrysanthemum's downy petals, the roses' layered, satin-like blooms, and the glossy sheen of the greenery. The overall mood is one of tender respect, appropriate for a funeral service, memorial or wake - a floral embrace that speaks of enduring love. Locals in Upper Norwood, Beulah Hill and around Norwood Junction will recognise the thoughtful, personal approach florist workshops in the area take when creating memorial pieces of this nature and gravitas.
PURPLE & WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
This image shows a large, three-dimensional MUM floral tribute laid out against a clean white background that makes the colours appear even more vibrant. Each letter is completely enveloped in tight clusters of fuchsia-purple and deep magenta chrysanthemums, creating a rich, textured surface that looks almost like plush fabric. Scattered throughout are tiny lime-green flower centres that gently break up the bolder colours and bring a sense of freshness and light. Around the sides of the letters, a delicate light pink ribbon is carefully gathered into ruffles, tracing every edge and curve, giving the arrangement a refined, handmade finish. The first M is highlighted at its upper left corner with a grouping of medium and deep pink roses, some fully open and others in bud, nestled among feathery green fern fronds that extend slightly beyond the letter, adding a sense of natural movement. At the base of the U sits a softly rounded arrangement of blush roses, cream blooms, and mixed foliage, positioned like a small, comforting bouquet that gently cradles the centre of the tribute. The second M is serenely balanced with a mirror-image cluster of pink roses and ferns on its upper right side, creating harmony across the design. This type of MUM funeral tribute, the kind a family in Upper Norwood might request for a farewell at a local chapel or cemetery, radiates tenderness and gratitude. The combination of intense chrysanthemum colour, soft rose accents, and ribbon edging speaks of deep affection, remembrance, and the desire to honour a mother with beauty and care.
LOVING MUM TRIBUTE
£160.00
This studio image presents a three-dimensional floral tribute spelling BRO, captured at eye level against a stark white backdrop so the composition reads with immediacy and dignity. Each letter is formed from tightly massed royal blue chrysanthemums whose compact, rounded florets produce a sumptuous, tactile surface and crisply modelled silhouettes. Small clusters of pale ivory or soft yellow spray roses sit tucked at the lower curves and bases of the B, R and O, interspersed with petite white filler blooms-mini chrysanthemums or baby's breath-that scatter gentle highlights across the deep blue. Interplaying foliage, from glossy salal-style leaves to light, airy fern fronds, frames each accent cluster, lending structural contrast and a faint green scent that softens the arrangement's profile. The white supporting frame or foam base is subtly visible at the letter edges and in the interior loops, speaking to the technical care behind a display intended to stand sturdily during a wake or memorial. The colour story is deliberate: royal blue for peace and constancy, cream and white for comfort and purity, composed to read as both a public statement of loss and a private token of love. I imagine families in Upper Norwood and nearby Beulah Hill requesting this style for chapel viewings or floral tributes laid at a local crematorium; its clean lines and plush texture communicate respect without excess. The overall feeling is one of gentle solemnity and considered craftsmanship, a tribute that comforts by its presence, scent and the quiet reassurance of meticulous floral work.
PERSONALISED BRO TRIBUTE
£165.00
This elegant funeral tribute presents the name KATE in bold capital letters, each letter crafted from a thick, uniform carpet of small white spray chrysanthemums that create a smooth, cloud-like surface. The scene is quietly luminous-soft highlights on the rounded chrysanthemum heads, a whisper of green scent from the blooms, and a gentle pleat of pale pink ribbon outlining each letter and lending a restrained, caring flourish. Scattered across the white field are vivid clusters of red anthuriums; their glossy, heart-shaped spathes and prominent spadices form striking focal points that read as warm, heartfelt accents against the serene white. Lush dark greens-long fern fronds, glossy laurel-like leaves and delicate sprigs of foliage-are tucked into the composition to add sculptural depth and a natural rhythm; fine tendrils of green vine thread between the letters, uniting the separate elements into a single, coherent tribute. Set on a bright white background with a subtle shadow that lifts the letters off the surface, the arrangement feels both three-dimensional and composed with meticulous care. The overall mood is one of quiet reverence: pure, respectful and composed, ideal for a memorial service or wake. As a florist who works in Upper Norwood and the surrounding streets near Westow Hill and Anerley Hill, I would say this piece communicates affection and remembrance through restrained colour, texture and craftsmanship, creating a visual heartbeat for mourners to gather around.
DARLING KATE TRIBUTE
£200.00
A carefully crafted name tribute spells KATE in large, three-dimensional letters, each letter densely covered in pristine white chrysanthemums to create a soft, cloud-like texture that conveys purity and reverence. Surrounding each letter is a narrow pale-pink satin ribbon, gently pleated and sewn along the edges to give the composition a refined, hand-finished border that warms the white tones. Central to each letter is a single deep-red rose, chosen for its rich colour and fragrant presence: the K bears its rose at the lower part of the left vertical stroke, the A is crowned with a rose at the top of its triangular peak, the T's rose is placed at the base of the left side of its horizontal crossbar, and the E's bloom sits prominently on the middle horizontal bar. Each rose is set amid a generous spray of varied green foliage - broad glossy leaves paired with delicate fern-like fronds - which frames the roses and adds shadow, depth and organic flow to the otherwise crisp lettering. The entire tribute is photographed against a clean white background so every texture and hue reads clearly, the chrysanthemums' fine petals softening the light while the roses draw the eye with their crimson intensity. This kind of personalised floral lettering is a bespoke sympathy piece often selected for funerals or memorial services; in Upper Norwood, we craft similar tributes for ceremonies near Westow Hill and Crystal Palace, and Florist Upper Norwood can arrange local delivery and careful handling to ensure the piece arrives fresh and respectfully presented.
RED KATE CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00
Carefully photographed on a bright white background, this bespoke memorial spelling of KATE reads as both an object of floral craft and a tender expression of remembrance. Each letter-K, A, T and E-is formed from thousands of compact, pure-white chrysanthemums whose feathery faces create a uniform, cloudlike surface; the impression is of softness and quiet dignity. A narrow, pale-pink satin ribbon outlines every contour, its subtle sheen adding a blush that defines each letter's architecture without overwhelming the white. Scattered across the letters are vivid accent clusters composed of bold fuchsia-pink roses, delicate pastel-pink spray roses, and small deep-purple to blue accent blooms that resemble statice or small lisianthus; these colours sit like warm punctuation against the white chrysanthemum base. Varied greens-slender fern fronds, round eucalyptus leaves, and glossy foliage-tuck into each cluster, introducing texture and a natural, fragrant note that softens the composition. The floristry is precise in its placements: the diagonal stroke of the K bears a strong cluster, the A carries a floral grouping near its lower right curve, the T has a balanced spray at its base, and the E is embellished with two ornaments on the middle crossbar and the lower arm. The overall mood is consoling, designed for a funeral or celebration of life where personalisation matters; it reads as a piece a local family might choose for a service in Upper Norwood, whether at a church on Westow Hill or a graveside near the park.
LOVING CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00
A beautifully composed floral name tribute spells "KATE" in four generous capital letters, placed against a bright white background that emphasises its crisp outlines and gentle colours. Each letter is formed from dense mounds of white chrysanthemums, their overlapping petals catching the light and giving the surface a soft, quilted texture, like a cloud of blossoms. Along the outside edge of every letter runs a slim band of blush pink ribbon, lightly ruffled to soften the geometry of the lettering and add a graceful, understated touch of colour. Breaking the white expanse are artfully positioned accent flowers. On the "K" and at the foot of the "T", yellow-green cymbidium orchids with rich reddish markings sit amid dark green foliage, adding depth and a quiet sense of luxury, as though echoing the elegance of Upper Norwood's historic houses around Beulah Hill. The "A" and "E" are each adorned with a single, heart-shaped red anthurium bloom, its glossy, almost lacquered surface and central spadix standing out with striking clarity, symbolising love held close even in farewell. Threaded through and between the letters are slim green vines and fine leaves that wander and coil gently, visually binding the name together and suggesting connection between each letter and each memory. The tribute feels both composed and deeply tender, a bespoke funeral arrangement that might rest at the front of a chapel or crematorium service in Upper Norwood, offering a calm, dignified way to honour someone called Kate with flowers chosen for their symbolism, colour harmony, and quietly expressive beauty.
SPECIAL CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£205.00
Set against a crisp white backdrop, the name KATE is rendered in substantial, three-dimensional letters sculpted from hundreds of small, immaculate white chrysanthemums, each bloom pressed close to its neighbour to create a seamless, plush surface. A soft, pale-pink satin ribbon outlines the inner shapes of every letter, adding a refined line that both defines and flatters the floral form. Vivid hot-pink roses provide visual anchors across the piece: the K bears two open roses on its left side, the A is graced with a single, fully bloomed pink rose near its base, the T is punctuated by a bright rose at its bottom center, and the E carries a pair of pink roses along its right edge. Around these focal points the florist has woven in rich green foliage - fern-like fronds, glossy ruscus, and a few variegated leaves - with delicate pink alstroemeria buds offering soft punctuation. The arrangement stands freestanding, its shadowed undersides lending a sense of weight and realism, while the overall palette of pure white, soft pink and vibrant magenta reads as both tender and dignified. There is an understated fragrance from the roses that pairs gently with the crisp, clean chrysanthemum scent, and the satin trim gives the piece a satin-soft finish to the touch. This personalised tribute conveys a gentle, respectful sentiment - ideal for a funeral service or a quiet celebration of life - and evokes the thoughtful, precise work you might expect from an experienced Upper Norwood florist familiar with commissions for Crystal Palace and nearby Gipsy Hill memorials.
ELEGANT CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00
A serene, personalised memorial spells BETTY in substantial, freestanding letters, each letter constructed from a dense carpet of creamy white chrysanthemums that read like soft snow under a quiet light. Woven through this white base, clusters of rich purple-to-magenta chrysanthemums define inner shapes and borders, creating a jewel-like contrast that makes each letter read clearly from a distance while keeping an intimate texture up close. Soft purple ribbon trims the sides of each block letter, giving a refined contour and an understated elegance. Resting atop the composition in three small, deliberate places - the top curve of the B, the center of the first T, and the upper arm of the Y - are petite bouquets of tender pink roses, some newly opened and some just unfurling, their gentle perfume mingling with the cool scent of the white blooms. Tiny blue accent flowers, perhaps delphiniums or cornflowers, punctuate the rose clusters like distant stars, while fern fronds and bright green foliage cradle these accents and add movement to the otherwise architectural letters. The arrangement is photographed against a clean white backdrop that strips away distraction and leaves only the emotional vocabulary of colour and texture. Designed for a funeral service or celebration of life, this BETTY tribute combines classic sympathy whites with vibrant purple and blush notes to offer comfort, dignity and a personalised farewell that feels both traditional and lovingly bespoke.
MIXED FLOWERS CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£240.00
An elegant memorial display reads the name "JENNA" in large, sculpted capital letters made from dense clusters of snow-white chrysanthemums and similarly small, fragrant blooms, arranged on a pristine white background. Each letter is built with meticulous layering so the surface reads as a soft, continuous field of petals; the texture is muted and velvety, catching light in a way that softens edges and invites a moment of reflection. A narrow, vivid purple ribbon or a tight border of lilac flowers outlines the inner contours of every letter, introducing a refined line of colour that emphasises the letterforms without disturbing the serene white mass. Three carefully positioned floral highlights punctuate the composition: a compact spray on the curved top of the 'J', a low cluster centered on the second 'N', and a floral accent on the upper arm of the 'A'. These groupings contain gentle blush and lavender spray roses, a few cream or pale yellow rosebuds, and delicate fern fronds, adding subtle fragrance and a breath of greenery to the predominantly white ensemble.

Thin, dark structural bars discreetly link the letters, suggesting both permanence and cohesion in the tribute's engineering. This arrangement carries a hushed, respectful tone-ideal for a funeral, wake, or remembrance corner-and would sit naturally beside floral tributes at a service near Crystal Palace Park or a chapel on Westow Hill. It reads as a handcrafted, personal farewell that balances simplicity with carefully considered, comforting details.
CUSTOM JENNA TRIBUTE
£240.00
A tender, personalised floral statement reads H, E, a full heart and U across a luminous white backdrop, assembled with the patient touch of an experienced hands-on florist. Each letter - H and E then U - is formed from compact, snow-white chrysanthemums creating a plush, cushion-like surface; their edges are softly outlined in a delicate blush-pink satin ribbon that catches the light like a faint, comforting blush. On the H's left vertical base, two fuchsia roses and a sprinkling of reddish-pink berries sit amid slender, ferny green foliage, their saturated colour and velvet petals offering a vivid focal point. The E carries a larger central accent: a trio of bright fuchsia roses with elegant green leaves placed along the middle bar, anchoring the composition. The central heart replaces a letter with a more intimate texture, filled with layers of soft pink carnations, creamy blush lisianthus or smaller roses, and generous pale-green eucalyptus for contrast and a hint of cooling scent. The U completes the message with the same white chrysanthemum build and ribbon border, its inside curve gently adorned with two fuchsia roses and deep green foliage that echo the arrangement's extremities. Bathed in soft, evenly diffused light, the piece reads as both declaration and consolation-romantic and reverent at once-perfect for a farewell in a quiet Upper Norwood chapel, a tribute near Crystal Palace Park, or a heartfelt delivery to neighbours on Westow Hill, carrying the quiet perfume of roses and the crisp eucalyptus freshness.
WE LOVE YOU TRIBUTE
£250.00
A lyrical, comfort-giving floral tribute spelling MAM in three capital letters, composed of hundreds of small, velvety white chrysanthemum sprays that create a soft, clouded surface across each letter. At either end, the design is gently punctuated by mellow yellow roses, their petals still beautifully furled, surrounded by delicate white freesia or similar buds and a scattering of fresh, bright green foliage and tiny leaflets that add lift and a spring-like freshness. Each letter is edged with a sunny, pleated yellow satin ribbon that crisply traces the perimeter, offering a warm, uplifting contrast to the pristine white flowers and neatly finishing the shapes. A dark green or black horizontal support bar sits behind the upper sections, unseen from the front but providing the stability needed for display on an easel or lectern. The scent is quietly floral - faint honeyed notes from the roses mingling with the clean, green fragrance of chrysanthemums and freesia. The craftsmanship speaks of attentive hands and calm experience: petals set tightly, ribbons evenly pleated, foliage trimmed to sit flush without obscuring the letter forms. Intended as a deeply personal sympathy piece for a mother figure, it radiates gentle affection and remembrance, suitable for funerals, memorials, or a graveside by the family. Locally, we often prepare similar tributes for services around Upper Norwood, near Crystal Palace Park and Westow Hill; these pieces are chosen to express warmth, solace and enduring love in a simple, dignified way. Florist Upper Norwood can replicate this style to reflect a family's personal tribute.
TREASURED NAN TRIBUTE
£155.00
A thoughtfully composed sympathy tribute reads NANA in large, tactile letters formed entirely from compact clusters of white button chrysanthemums. Each small bloom is tightly set so the letters appear plush and voluminous, a soft field of white petals that seems almost cloudlike to the touch. A neat band of vivid green foliage hugs the outer edge of each character like a pleated ribbon, providing sharp contrast and clear definition against the stark white background. The lighting is bright and even, picking out the fresh sheen on the petals and the crisp outlines of the green trim, while gentle shadows lend a subtle three-dimensionality to the composition. The overall mood is one of quiet dignity and tender remembrance, the sort of arrangement often requested for funerals, viewings, or as a graveside tribute for a cherished grandmother in the Upper Norwood and Gipsy Hill communities. I picture this piece arriving tenderly wrapped and placed near a photograph or on a memorial table, its faint, clean floral scent adding a small comfort to those gathered. The detailed craftsmanship-hundreds of button chrysanthemums arranged with patient precision-speaks of traditional funeral floristry: respectful, restrained, and deeply personal. For families visiting Crystal Palace Park or meeting along Norwood Road, this arrangement offers a simple, eloquent way to say goodbye and honour a Nana's memory with purity and grace.
WHITE NANA TRIBUTE
£200.00
This floral composition announces the name "NANA" in bold, three-dimensional letters against a pristine white backdrop, each character created from a dense mosaic of small chrysanthemum blooms. The two Ns are built from saturated magenta-to-plum chrysanthemums, each bloom dotted with a tiny yellow eye that punctuates the rich colour and lends depth to the surface; the As are rendered in tightly clustered creamy-white chrysanthemums that provide a cool, elegant counterpoint. A vibrant lime-green edging, formed from pleated ribbon or closely set foliage, traces the outer contours of each letter, introducing a crisp natural line that brightens the arrangement and gives each letter a defined silhouette. The tactile quality is striking: petal clusters overlap into a plush, sculptural field, catching soft light so the purples appear velvety and the whites seem almost lit from within. The bouquet's scent is restrained and comforting-subtle chrysanthemum notes that do not intrude but add to the sense of calm. Carefully wired and foam-mounted, this piece is designed to travel and be displayed at funerals, memorial services, or intimate family remembrances; it reads clearly in a chapel or on a graveside and communicates respect, affection, and memory. As a florist familiar with Upper Norwood, I picture this tribute arriving at a local chapel near Westow Hill, offered as a bespoke, handcrafted expression of condolence for a dearly loved grandmother.
PURPLE & WHITE NANA TRIBUTE
£200.00
Large, elegant letters spell AUNT in bold capitals, each letter densely composed of hundreds of white spray chrysanthemums whose tiny petals form a soft, cloudlike surface. Within the white masses, pale yellow centres peek through the blooms, adding a faint warmth and natural variation across the letters' faces. A sumptuous deep purple satin ribbon outlines the perimeter of every character; its ruffled, scalloped folds wrap the sturdy frame and catch highlights, creating a satin sheen that contrasts beautifully with the matte texture of the chrysanthemum petals. The letters are set on a pristine white field, while delicate grey shadows beneath each one reveal their three-dimensional construction and the weight of the floral foam and wire frames beneath.

The arrangement conveys composed dignity and affectionate remembrance, the white and purple palette chosen to express both purity and gentle reverence. Subtle green notes of scent and the soft tactile impression of the petals suggest freshness and longevity - qualities families often ask for when commissioning memorial pieces. Crafted by Florist Upper Norwood in a workshop close to Westow Hill and Church Road, this tribute is intended for funeral services, graveside ceremonies, or wakes in and around Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace. It reads as a personalised goodbye, offering comfort in its precise craftsmanship and thoughtfully chosen materials, a floral message that honors an aunt's memory while giving mourners something steady to focus on in a tender, reverent moment.
SPECIAL AUNT SENTIMENT TRIBUTE
£200.00
An intimate, lettered floral tribute spelling 'DAD', rendered in soothing whites, soft purples and lively greens, presented against a bright white backdrop so the craftsmanship stands fully revealed. Each letter is built from a tapestry of velvety chrysanthemums and ivory gerbera daisies whose broad faces catch the eye, while pale, pastel coffee-toned roses and creamy lisianthus add warmth and gentle roundness to the composition. Sprays of violet statice and small mauve filler flowers provide subtle pockets of colour that punctuate the arrangement without overpowering its calm, reflective mood. Crisp, emerald fern fronds line and define each letter, their serrated shapes creating a sense of movement that balances the billowy petals, and compact green button chrysanthemums nestle into the centers for texture and depth. The floral pieces rest on a discreet dark base that gives the letters structure and a solemn dignity often desired for funeral and memorial settings. Touch and scent are part of the sympathy language here: the silky petals, the soft give of a fern, and a delicate, green floral fragrance that carries through the air, offering quiet comfort. As someone who arranges tributes for families around Westow Hill and Norwood Road, I choose these tones and textures to convey respect, fond memory and a tender farewell. This composition is crafted to sit beside a casket or at a service, a tangible expression of love and remembrance for a father whose life is being honoured.
FINEST TRIBUTE
£210.00
Seen straight-on against a stark white field, this floral composition spells BEST in four generous letters built from a garden's worth of mixed blooms and foliage. Each letter's densely layered surface begins with fluffy white chrysanthemums that create a calm, velvety backdrop, while bright yellow roses and gerbera daisies bring an immediate warmth, as if the arrangement has captured a morning ray of sunlight. Interspersed are dusky lavender and rich purple lisianthus or compact chrysanthemums, lending a quiet, contemplative depth; vivid fuchsia and magenta spray roses or small carnations lend occasional, tender highlights. Small clusters of pale green and cream fillers add texture and breathe between the larger forms, helping the eye travel across each letter's contours. Around the edges, dark green fern fronds soften the silhouettes with natural fringing, their glossy, serrated leaves contrasting the matte petals.

Careful floral engineering is evident where a dark green or subtle metal frame becomes visible in narrow gaps-especially on the E's middle bar and the T's lower stroke-showing the balance of artistry and structure needed for a tribute of this scale. Lighting is even and bright, emphasizing freshness, colour saturation, and petal detail. The arrangement's palette and composition suggest a piece designed for remembrance-gentle yet uplifting-a floral way to speak of love, honour, and memory. It would sit respectfully in a funeral chapel or reception, offering comfort to mourners while conveying a clear, heartfelt message: celebrating someone remembered as "the best."
BEST TRIBUTE
£210.00
A heartfelt, custom-made floral tribute spelling the name PAPA in large, capital letters, each letter meticulously formed from dense clusters of small white chrysanthemums with a creamy, satin-like sheen. The blooms are arranged to produce a soft, pillowed surface, petals slightly ruffled at the edges so the letters read as textured, three-dimensional blocks of light; under soft studio illumination, shadows fall gently between the blossoms giving the arrangement a serene depth. Around the perimeter of each character, a narrow band of pale green ribbon or fine foliage has been folded and pleated to create a neat, wavy contour that both frames and lifts the white surface, adding a fresh, verdant line that punctuates the composition. The overall effect is calm, respectful and intimate - a classic sympathy piece intended for funeral services, wakes, or graveside memorials to honour a father or grandfather. The scent is mild and comforting, a quiet chrysanthemum note that seems to steady the room. Practical details of craft are visible only to a florist's eye: compact wiring beneath each head, secure anchoring to preserve the clean outline, and precise floral placement to maintain uniformity across each letter. As a local tribute prepared for families in Upper Norwood and the surrounding Anerley and Westow Hill area, this arrangement communicates dignity and remembrance and can be delivered to chapels or funeral homes in the neighbourhood by Florist Upper Norwood with care and discretion.
WHITE PAPA TRIBUTE
£200.00
Against a pure white background, the word "GRANDPA" stands out in a row of freestanding floral letters, each one carefully designed to convey both strength and tenderness. The underlying frames are completely hidden beneath a thick covering of white spray chrysanthemums, placed so closely together that they form a smooth, plush field of petals across the face of every capital letter. Around the edge of the G, R, A, N, D, P, and finishing A runs a slim border of pale lavender flowers, following every curve and corner to create a subtle outline that helps the word read clearly, even from a distance. The pairing of cool white and soft lilac evokes a sense of calm remembrance, not unlike the quiet paths of Upper Norwood's side streets on a still morning. To introduce warmth and individuality, the florist has woven in clusters of peach roses and greenery. The G is adorned with a small posey of roses-some open, some just beginning to unfurl-resting alongside slender white lily buds and a neat collar of dark green foliage. The first A bears a single peach rose as a gentle highlight. The D carries another grouping of two or three roses, echoing the G's detail, and the final A repeats the single-rose motif so the design feels harmonious from left to right. The letters are connected along their bases by a narrow, dark bar that provides discreet structural support, ready for placement at a funeral service, cremation, or memorial event around Upper Norwood. The overall impression is of a carefully thought-out sympathy tribute, one that speaks of affection, gratitude, and quiet goodbyes to a cherished grandfather.
ADMIRED GRANDPA TRIBUTE
£330.00
This composed floral tribute spells the capital letters 'B' and 'A' with careful, sympathetic workmanship: each letter is densely covered in hundreds of small, pristine white chrysanthemum blooms whose layered petals create a soft, cloud-like texture that reads as purity and calm. The edges of both letters are neatly framed with a ruffled royal blue satin ribbon, the rich blue line lending structure and a quiet dignity to the white forms. The 'B' carries a compact accent on its upper left curve - deep red roses in various stages from tight bud to half-open, interspersed with electric-blue delphinium-like spikes - and the 'A' mirrors that balance with a matching cluster at its lower right. Dark green foliage and pale green trailing tendrils thread through these clusters, softening the geometry and adding a gentle, living movement to the overall shape. Mounted side-by-side on a slender dark base, the letters read clearly from a distance at a memorial service yet reward close inspection with delicate textural detail: the softness of chrysanthemum petals, the velvet touch of rose, and the crisp, almost glassy blue of the delphinium-like blooms. A soft, almost studio light in the photograph makes the whites glow while allowing the blue ribbon and red roses to hold their solemn presence. This arrangement is intended as a personalized sympathy piece - a dignified floral initial tribute that conveys remembrance and respect, thoughtfully suitable for services held in local churches or funeral parlours around Westow Hill and the streets of Upper Norwood.
BA PERSONALISED TRIBUTE
£100.00
The photograph presents a carefully crafted funeral tribute that spells "GRANDMA" in striking floral letters, thoughtfully designed to carry both visual impact and tender emotion. Each letter is built from tightly packed white cushion chrysanthemums, their neat, rounded blooms creating a dense, plush surface that appears soft yet structured, standing out clearly against the plain white background. Around the outside of every character, a slim edging of pale lavender or light purple ribbon peeks through, forming a gentle border that adds dimension and a soothing, spiritual tone. To break the expanse of white and to symbolise love and remembrance, the florist has woven in carefully placed red accents: at the opening "G", a compact spray of deep red roses nestles beside an eye-catching red-and-white variegated calla lily, its unusual marbling adding interest and individuality. The first "A" is adorned with a single, heart-shaped red anthurium resting at the base, its smooth, glossy surface reflecting the light. At the centre of the tribute, in the "M", more rich red roses are combined with another red anthurium, creating a focal point at the heart of the name, while the final "A" is finished with one last red anthurium to balance the design. The letters are secured on a subtle dark green stand that connects them from behind, just as a florist in Upper Norwood might prepare them for display in a local church or at a service near Westow Street. The overall mood is one of calm respect and heartfelt devotion, a bespoke arrangement that quietly honours a much-loved grandmother and supports the family's farewell with natural beauty.
