SPRAYS/SHEAVES
On a stark white background, a beautifully composed sympathy spray stretches in an elegant diagonal, the kind of floral tribute often seen at thoughtful farewells in the Upper Norwood area. The design is layered and deliberate, with a gentle taper from the fuller centre to narrower, refined ends, giving the impression of movement and quiet grace. At the heart of the spray, deep red flowers dominate: velvety roses in different stages of openness, their petals richly folded; striking red gerbera daisies with dark, defined centres; and clusters of frilled carnations that fill any small gaps with soft volume. Together, these blooms create a lush, crimson core that seems to speak of cherished memories, love, and strength in the face of loss. Threaded through this red tapestry are vivid lime-green chrysanthemum pompons, their rounded heads catching the light and adding a fresh, contemporary twist, echoing the lively greenery found around Crystal Palace Triangle. Small white filler flowers, delicate as a scattering of tiny stars, are placed with care between the more dominant tones, brightening the design and lending it a gentle lightness. The flowers rest on a generous bed of mixed green foliage: broad, shiny leaves form a strong, supportive base; fine, feathery ferns offer softness at the edges; and varied greens contribute layers of texture and depth. At the lower right, long, sleek leaves fan outward, guiding the eye along the spray's curve, while at the upper left, a structured cluster of tall stems rises upward, encircled at the base by a single wrapped leaf, adding stylish height. Crafted with the experienced eye of a professional florist, this arrangement feels dignified, soothing, and appropriate for funeral services and memorial gatherings throughout Upper Norwood.
FAITHFUL GUARDIAN SPRAY
£75.00
Wrapped in soft morning light seems to drift through a white-and-green spell, this Florist Choice Spray radiates quiet luxury. From an elevated angle, a generous cluster of white hydrangeas forms a plush core near the center, with large, satin-smooth petals catching the light. Surrounding them are classic white roses, their petals unfurling in a slow, gracious rhythm, interspersed with slender lisianthus that resemble delicate bells floating in a cool breeze. The arrangement breathes openness and refined simplicity, inviting the eye to wander through the tapestry of greens: feathery ferns give texture and movement along the lower reaches, pale eucalyptus gives a silvery sheen, and the deeper russet-green leaves of ruscus add quiet strength to the form. A handful of pale green buds tuck among the stems, hinting at fresh growth and renewal.

Centered within the display is a slim white panel - an elegant border - that bears Florist Choice in graceful script, SPRAY in bold uppercase, and a prominent price line beneath. The typography floats lightly above the blossoms, its translucence allowing the greenery to show through, a small reminder of the handmade care behind the design. This spray embodies a versatile message - graceful sympathy, dignified memorial, or a refined gift for someone special. It feels at once contemporary and timeless. In Upper Norwood, this premium spray is crafted with care by local florists who know the area from Crystal Palace to Anerley and beyond, ready for thoughtful delivery to homes, chapels, or funeral venues with the assurance of freshness and precise craftsmanship.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £100
£100.00
Soft, quiet light bathes a white-and-cream spray that feels serene and refined. This arrangement centers on velvet white roses, some in bud and others open, paired with generous clusters of hydrangea in pale cream. A touch of white Nigella with its green centers punctuates the core, while delicate trailing white blossoms slip down the sides to suggest gentle motion. The greens are layered and varied: broad, dark leaves create a lush backdrop, lighter, variegated foliage gives delicate contrast, and fine, feathery fronds and curling vines spill over the edge, completing the garden-inspired cascade. A crisp white square sits over the heart of the bouquet, bearing Florist Choice Today in script and a bold ?200 underneath, framed by a simple sans-serif to imply premium selection. This image speaks of calm, restorative beauty, perfect for sympathy, anniversaries, or quiet celebration. It would sit well on a reception table in a Crystal Palace home or as a thoughtful gift for a friend in Upper Norwood, with delivery across the area in mind. From Florist Upper Norwood, the piece communicates meticulous craftsmanship: careful stem selection, balanced texture, and a light, fresh scent of green notes that lingers like a gentle breeze through the neighbourhood.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £200
£200.00
This elongated funeral tribute rests against a clean white background, shaped in a graceful teardrop that flows from a rounded, flower-rich head to a refined point. At its centre, white oriental lilies take the lead, some open wide with star-like petals that seem to float, others still enclosed in sleek buds. Their pristine white petals frame soft green throats and understated stamens, evoking quiet purity and a sense of calm reflection. Interwoven among them are sprays of lisianthus, each slender stem carrying white blooms with gently ruffled petals, many kissed at the edges with a hint of lavender or pale purple that offers a subdued contrast. Tiny buds scattered throughout contribute a sense of gentle continuity, like memories that keep unfolding. Beneath the flowers, a substantial layer of foliage provides structure and depth: broad, glossy leaves offer a solid foundation while a selection of leaves is artfully rolled, folded, and curled to create contemporary shapes that catch the light. From one side, long palm fronds and linear greens sweep outward, defining the spray's asymmetrical, flowing silhouette and giving the impression of a soft breeze across Upper Norwood's hillside views and tree-lined avenues. The mood is serene and composed, with the limited palette of white, lavender accents, and deep green communicating respect and remembrance rather than drama. This piece would be perfectly at home resting on a casket, adorning a crematorium lectern, or marking a memorial space in a home near Crystal Palace, offering a tender, dignified expression of farewell that feels both personal and thoughtfully crafted by a local Upper Norwood florist.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
A richly composed funeral flower spray in intense crimson and layered greens is presented against a pure white background, allowing its shape and textures to be appreciated in full. The design follows a graceful diagonal, broadest at the upper left where the blooms are most densely gathered, then narrowing and flowing into a delicate tapered point at the lower right. Dark red roses, some fully opened and others just opening, dominate the spray's focal area. Their velvety petals curl back in soft, rounded layers, creating that classic, romantic rose silhouette often chosen for heartfelt farewells in Upper Norwood. Threaded through the roses are numerous red carnations and smaller spray carnations, their finely fringed petals bringing a sense of lightness and intricate detail, like gentle ripples in fabric. The flowers are cradled in a generous frame of greenery. Deep, broad leaves, glossy and substantial, provide a sculpted backdrop that holds the red blooms proudly aloft. Intermixed, discs of silvery-green eucalyptus catch the light differently, introducing a subtle cool tone and a slightly powdery texture. At the edges, especially towards the pointed end of the arrangement, slender, trailing lengths of lighter green foliage extend outward and downward, softening the overall outline and giving the spray a flowing, almost river-like movement. The atmosphere conveyed is solemn yet comforting, resembling the quiet calm of a morning walk near Crystal Palace Park just beyond Upper Norwood. Crafted with the sensitivity of an experienced local florist, this casket spray would rest beautifully on a coffin or be displayed near the altar, offering a dignified expression of sympathy, remembrance, and enduring affection.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
On a quiet day in the Upper Norwood section, a substantial spray emerges as a living note of condolence. The heart of the arrangement is a group of pristine white roses, their velvety petals whispering memory, paired with white lisianthus and the clean scent of freesia. The color story shifts to dignity with purples: deep lisianthus, lavender-tinted eustoma, and slender veronica or delphinium lending height and solemn elegance.

Surrounding these are abundant greens-fern-like fronds, eucalyptus-mimic leaves, and other textured foliage-that form a lush backdrop. Small lavender statice threads add texture, catching the light like a memory. Set against a soft grey backdrop, a semi-transparent white rectangle overlays the center, inscribed with Florist CHOICE SPRAY and a bold ?300, signaling a refined tribute. This piece feels grounded and expansive, designed to rest on a coffin or grace memorial displays across Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace, and West Norwood. It speaks of empathy expressed through careful choice, and of a local florist who understands how blooms carry words when voices falter, offering calm, dignity, and enduring beauty to those who mourn. On future days, it will bring quiet comfort to homes and chapels in SE19, SE25, and surrounding areas as mourners gather to remember a life well lived.
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
Set against a clean white background, this sympathy spray forms a gentle diagonal from left to right, the stems securely tied at the upper left and the flowers cascading gracefully towards the lower right in an elegant teardrop shape. The focal blooms are striking Stargazer lilies, their broad petals painted in intense fuchsia and magenta tones, speckled with deep burgundy and rimmed with bright white, giving them an almost luminous quality. Some lilies are fully open, while others remain in bud, adding a sense of quiet anticipation and continued love. Cradling these dramatic flowers are creamy white roses in various stages of bloom and soft, ruffled white carnations, together creating a serene, cloud-like contrast that softens the vivid pinks. Bright magenta gerbera daisies punctuate the arrangement with cheerful, daisy-like faces, evoking affectionate memories and moments of shared joy. Delicate clusters of tiny white blooms, reminiscent of miniature daisies, are woven throughout, lending a light, airy feel. Surrounding the flowers is an abundance of greenery: broad, glossy dark green leaves provide structure, feathery ferns add texture and movement, and long, slender leaves sweep outward and down, guiding the eye along the length of the spray. The overall effect is peaceful and contemplative, a suitable floral tribute for funerals, memorial services, or condolence gestures across Upper Norwood. Whether delivered to a family home near Gipsy Hill or a chapel close to Crystal Palace Triangle, this arrangement reflects the care of a local florist who understands how to translate emotion into flowers, offering a tender, respectful expression of sympathy.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
This image shows an elegant, elongated funeral spray, arranged in a flowing teardrop form and photographed on a neutral white background so that the delicate colours and textures can be clearly appreciated. Starting at the fuller left side, a generous cluster of pastel pink roses dominates, each rose opening in concentric spirals that transition from pale blush at the outer petals to a deeper, more romantic pink towards the centre. Interspersed among these are white carnations and tiny spray carnations, their finely frilled petals providing a soft counterpoint to the smoother rose blooms. The flowers are supported by an abundant mix of foliage: broad, glossy dark green leaves create a deep-toned base, while softer, rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery green thread through the design, giving it an airy, contemporary note that would feel at home in a stylish Upper Norwood townhouse overlooking Norwood Park. As the spray narrows towards the right, slender strings of trailing ruscus and other fine greens gently fall away from the main body, adding movement and a sense of gentle release. The composition is carefully balanced, with no single flower overwhelming the rest; instead, the pinks and whites work together in quiet harmony, symbolising love, respect, and farewell. Imagined atop a casket or placed near the front of a chapel in the Upper Norwood area, this tribute becomes a silent companion during the service, offering comfort to family and friends when words are difficult. Its soft tones and thoughtful structure create an atmosphere of calm remembrance and enduring affection.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
This refined sympathy spray, set against a bright white background, flows diagonally as if gently resting along a casket or memorial stand. The focal point is a cluster of striking white Oriental lilies, their trumpet-shaped blooms wide open to reveal delicate stamens in soft tones of green and gold, while graceful buds rise among them like symbols of ongoing love and memory. Surrounding the lilies, creamy white roses and full, ruffled carnations create a lush, comforting heart, and neat white gerbera-like daisies with pale centres introduce a touch of understated cheer. Fine white filler flowers, scattered throughout the design, soften the transitions between each blossom and lend the arrangement a touch of airy lightness. The entire composition is enriched with varied greenery: broad, glossy dark leaves give weight and structure; feathery fern fronds soften the edges; and rounded eucalyptus sprigs offer a cool blue-green note and a gentle, refreshing fragrance. At the top, slender green leaves are folded and bound into a vertical accent, adding a tailored, modern detail. From the lower right corner, a fan of slim palm fronds sweeps outward, extending the spray and giving it a fluid, contemporary profile. Designed as a front-facing funeral tribute, it would sit beautifully in a chapel or crematorium serving Upper Norwood, perhaps near the lectern or beside a framed photograph of the person being honoured. The calm palette of white blooms and deep greens conveys purity, peace, and reflection, capturing the quiet, respectful mood appropriate for saying goodbye in this close-knit South London community.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
Descending from the upper left in a lush flourish, this sophisticated floral spray is a study in grace and harmony, handcrafted by Upper Norwood florists for moments of gentle remembrance. Striking white lilies command attention at the heart of the arrangement, their wide trumpet blooms and subtle golden stamens glistening amid partially opened buds, offering a symbol of remembrance and hope. The delicate blush and deep pink hues of roses weave throughout, their petals in various stages of bloom conjuring a sense of affection and quiet dignity-touches that evoke the soft charm of Norwood's gardens and tree-lined lanes. Fluffy white carnations nestle between the grander blossoms, bringing balance and subtle texture. Each vibrant, moss-textured santini chrysanthemum globe adds a pop of fresh green, reviving the senses and echoing the lush expanses of Crystal Palace Park. Scarlet red hypericum berries are interspersed to lend a cheerful energy and natural accent that complements the arrangement's tranquil tones. Glossy, broad leaves meticulously folded for clean lines anchor the design, while long, arching palm fronds sweep downward with gentle movement, enhancing the sense of cascading flow so evocative of local hillsides. Bathed in soft light, this arrangement blends classic sympathy blooms with contemporary greenery, offering solace and serene beauty-perfect for a thoughtful tribute delivered to homes or services throughout Upper Norwood.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
An elegant sympathy spray of roses is presented on a clean white background, shaped into a flowing teardrop that tapers gently from a rounded crown of flowers to a soft, descending point. The main blooms are roses in two harmonising shades: deep sapphire blue with rich, velvety petals, and creamy white that softens toward ivory at the centre. Together they form a calm, contemplative palette, like a still evening sky seen from the hilltops of Upper Norwood. The roses are nestled closely, each head fully opened so that their layered petals create a sense of fullness and abundance. Between them, light sprinkles of white baby's breath push through, their tiny blossoms catching the light and adding a fine, lace-like texture that breaks up the solid masses of colour. The flowers are supported by a lush collar of greenery, which gives the spray its structure and direction. Dark, glossy leaves provide depth and contrast, making the blue and white tones stand out clearly. At the upper left, soft fronds of fern introduce a feathery lightness, while from the lower right, long, slender palm leaves arc outward and down, tracing the classic cascading outline often seen at local funeral services and cremations around Upper Norwood and Gipsy Hill. Subtle hints of bluish-green eucalyptus-style foliage are tucked throughout, adding another layer of texture and a cool, silvery undertone. Some broad leaves are artistically folded into horizontal bands that run across parts of the spray like natural ribbons, suggesting careful design and craftsmanship. The overall mood is one of quiet dignity and heartfelt condolence, a floral piece that offers gentle comfort and honour to a loved one's memory.
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
A dignified sympathy floral spray is presented against a crisp white backdrop, its colours and textures arranged in a gentle, flowing line from left to right. The design is elongated and mounded, with the left side appearing fuller and more rounded, gradually tapering into a refined, trailing point on the right, suggesting a quiet sense of direction and farewell. Deep red roses, with tightly furled, velvety petals, rise proudly from the arrangement, each bloom a symbol of enduring love and respect. Interspersed among them are numerous white carnations, their soft, frilled petals forming delicate clouds of texture that temper the richness of the red and introduce a feeling of peace and purity. Supporting these blooms is a generous foundation of greenery: broad, dark green leaves create a solid, structured base, while sprigs of silvery-green eucalyptus thread through the flowers, adding cool undertones and a subtle, calming fragrance. From the right edge, lighter, more delicate greenery - perhaps ruscus or similar trailing foliage - extends outward, giving the spray its graceful, cascading finish and softening the silhouette. The overall palette of crimson, white, and green feels solemn yet comforting, typical of funeral and memorial flowers chosen to honour a loved one's life with sincerity. It is the kind of refined tribute often requested by families in Upper Norwood for services in local chapels or crematoria, a piece that would rest beautifully on a casket or memorial table as a final expression of sympathy and remembrance.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
An elongated sympathy spray of red roses and berries lies at a gentle diagonal against a stark white background, its poised form evoking the calm stillness of a funeral service in Upper Norwood. At the top left, the stems of the flowers are gathered together in a tidy bundle, encased in a wide wrap of sleek green leaf that has been folded with care, like a handcrafted ribbon from nature itself. From this anchoring point, a river of deep red roses flows through the centre of the design, running toward the bottom right in a smooth, unbroken line. Each rose seems individually considered: some buds are firm and quietly closed, others have begun to loosen with visible spirals of petals, and a few blooms are generously open, their velvety, wine-red petals curling outward with softness and depth. Between these roses, clusters of small Hypericum berries in shades of pinkish-red and coral nestle gently, offering a round, bead-like texture that lightens the overall effect and adds visual interest. Underpinning the flowers is an arrangement of rich greenery. Broad, dark leaves, possibly Salal or Ruscus, form a solid, protective base, while delicate palm fronds and finer greenery extend from the centre toward the lower right, creating a feathered, trailing edge. The spray narrows as it reaches its tip, forming a subtle teardrop silhouette that would sit beautifully along the length of a coffin, on a stand near the altar, or beside a memorial stone in an Upper Norwood cemetery. The contrast of the vivid reds and deep greens against the white background makes every detail clear, expressing love, gratitude, and quiet courage in a traditional yet timeless way.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
A refined white sympathy spray stretches diagonally across a bright white background, forming a gentle crescent that is full and rounded at the top left before narrowing into a delicate point at the lower right. The eye is immediately drawn to the generous array of white and cream roses, some still tightly wrapped and others fully open, their velvety petals layered in soft spirals that convey calm and grace. Interspersed among these classic blossoms are clusters of white carnations, their ruffled petals adding a plush, feathery texture that softens the overall structure and suggests quiet comfort. The blossoms are cradled in and framed by a mix of foliage: deep green leaves provide a rich foundation, while cool, silvery eucalyptus and slender, arching trails of ruscus extend from the lower end, enhancing the arrangement's flowing, tear-drop silhouette. The even lighting accentuates the purity of the white blooms and the subtle contrast with the greenery, without any distraction from background details. This is the kind of thoughtfully composed tribute one might see carried into a service in Upper Norwood, perhaps at a small church near the Crystal Palace Triangle or a chapel overlooking the surrounding hills, where the community gathers to say a gentle farewell. The white palette symbolises peace, hope, and enduring affection, making the spray suitable for resting atop a coffin, standing by a memorial table, or accompanying a condolence display at a wake. It reflects careful craftsmanship and deep empathy, offering a serene expression of sympathy when spoken words feel insufficient.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A refined yellow rose funeral spray is displayed against a bright white backdrop, its elongated form gently tapering from a full, lush head at the upper left to a graceful point at the lower right. The eye is immediately drawn to the cluster of vibrant yellow roses, their petals layered and softly curled, some just opening while others are already wide and welcoming, evoking warmth, friendship, and cherished memories. Threaded throughout these roses are clusters of firm, glossy red Hypericum berries, like tiny jewels set among the blooms, lending a rich contrast of colour and a pleasing, rounded texture. The arrangement is cradled in a generous bed of fresh greenery: large, dark green leaves folded and sculpted into an architectural base at the top, and slender palm fronds unfurling from the base towards the lower right, their fine, linear leaflets adding movement and gentle rhythm. The stems are gathered and bound at the upper left, giving the spray a sense of direction, as though the flowers are quietly flowing outward. The lighting is soft and even, allowing the golden tones of the roses and the deep greens of the foliage to stand out sharply against the white background. This piece feels especially suited to a service in Upper Norwood, perhaps travelling along Church Road to a local chapel, where families seek a tribute that speaks of kindness, loyalty, and enduring affection. It captures a balance of comfort and formality, a design that would be chosen by someone wishing to say a tender, dignified goodbye.
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
An elongated sympathy spray of pink roses and blush carnations is photographed against a simple white background, its shape forming a graceful teardrop that suggests calm and gentle movement. The fuller, rounded section at the upper left is packed with large, open pink roses, every bloom showing layers of velvety petals in soft blush shades, from very pale shell pink to a slightly warmer rose tone. Scattered among them are numerous light peach-pink carnations, their crimped petals adding depth and a delicate, feathery texture. These carnations fill the gaps between the roses so completely that the spray appears plush and luxuriously dense, much like a carefully tended garden bed you might find off Church Road in Upper Norwood. Deep green foliage frames the flowers, with broader, glossy leaves forming a sturdy base and finer stems of greenery stretching along the edges and down toward the pointed tip. This greenery softens the outline, allowing the spray to taper naturally without losing its sense of fullness. Although the image is set against plain white, the arrangement has clear depth and dimension, with shadows and layers that make it look freshly arranged, as if just prepared for a service near Crystal Palace Park. The colour palette remains restrained and soothing: pastel pinks paired with rich greens, suggesting compassion, remembrance, and quiet strength. This floral tribute would be fitting for resting on a casket, standing at the front of a memorial, or lying at a graveside in Upper Norwood, offering a gentle, comforting presence to family and friends in mourning.
COMPASSIONATE FEELING CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A serene, high-angle view reveals a generous bundle of approximately two dozen pale blush roses, laid horizontally across a spotless white background as though resting on a florist's table in Upper Norwood. The bouquet has a natural, slightly fanned shape, with the flower heads concentrated in a lush mass at one end and the long stems tapering off to the opposite side. Each rose is perfectly fresh, its petals forming precise spirals that invite the eye to follow their gentle inward curve. Some blooms remain quite tight and bud-like, while others have begun to open enough to hint at the rich layers within, creating a sense of quiet transition that feels fitting for moments of farewell or condolence. The colour is consistently soft and understated: a blend of blush pink, powdery rose, and the slightest echo of lavender in the deeper folds, giving the flowers a refined, almost porcelain quality. Around the blossoms, deep green leaves with a subtle sheen hug the stems, providing a grounded, natural frame that enhances the delicate pink tones against the gleaming white background. The light is bright and even, without dramatic contrast, emphasising clarity and simplicity rather than drama. There are no additional props-no ribbons, vases, or cards-so the focus remains entirely on the roses themselves and the emotions they convey. The composition suggests a bouquet prepared with care for sympathy delivery near Westow Street or Beulah Hill, intended to bring gentle comfort to a grieving family or to rest quietly at a memorial. The overall mood is one of compassion, softness, and dignified calm, reflecting how flowers can offer a wordless expression of support when it is most needed.
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
Set against a clean white background, this sumptuous red floral spray stretches in a gentle diagonal, much like the sweeping views from Crystal Palace Park down over Upper Norwood. The design is composed as a one-sided casket or funeral tribute, dense and generous in the middle, then tapering elegantly at both ends. Deep red roses form the emotional core of the piece, their velvety petals in various stages of opening, from tightly wrapped buds to wide, layered blooms that seem to cradle light within their centres. Nestled among them are richly textured red carnations, each ruffled petal contributing to a plush, almost quilted effect, while several red gerbera daisies interrupt the surface with their flat, daisy-like faces and darker central discs, adding a modern, graphic rhythm. Throughout the mass of red, tiny white blossoms-possibly baby's breath or miniature chrysanthemum sprays-are tucked in carefully, offering a soft, luminous contrast that brightens the overall composition. The arrangement is framed with a thoughtful selection of greenery: long, graceful palm fronds extend outward and backward, giving the spray its sculpted outline, while dense, darker green leaves reminiscent of ruscus and salal fill the spaces between stems, adding structure and richness. Fine fern fronds just visible at the edges bring extra delicacy and movement. Near the top, a luxurious red satin ribbon is tied into a full, layered bow, its glossy loops and trailing streamers weaving through the flowers as though embracing them. Crafted with the sensitivity of a local Upper Norwood florist, this red rose, carnation, and gerbera spray is a fitting choice for funeral and memorial services, conveying profound love, respect, and a final, heartfelt goodbye.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART CASKET SPRAY
£120.00
Presented in calm, restorative tones, this elongated funeral spray combines creamy whites and vivid greens in a thoughtful teardrop cascade, photographed on a white ground to emphasize its quiet dignity. The arrangement features several pale, almost buttery roses, each petal layered like a soft whisper - some fully open, some held gently closed - accompanied by two striking white calla lilies whose sculpted trumpets introduce clean, architectural lines. Bright lime-green button chrysanthemums are planted like small beacons throughout the composition, their dense, tactile heads bringing modern contrast to the classic palette. Wisps of white baby's breath are interlaced among the main blossoms, providing an ethereal, cloud-like softness, while a variety of foliage - deep glossy leaves, variegated strips of white-and-green, and fine fern fronds - creates a multi-dimensional green foundation. Sweeping blades of vibrant grass arc across the top and sides, imparting graceful motion, and the design narrows to a single broad, bright-green tropical leaf that forms the tapered tail. At the upper left a wide cream ribbon with a subtle, matte texture is tied into a gentle bow, giving the spray a solemn, comforting finish. As a local arrangement often requested for services near Crystal Palace Park or delivered to churches on Westow Hill, this piece conveys respectful silence and steady comfort. Florist Upper Norwood crafts it with the kind of attention to weight, scent, and proportion our neighbours in Upper Norwood expect, mindful of the garden-fresh fragrance of roses and the cool, vegetal note of the greenery.
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Set against a pure white backdrop, this elongated casket spray appears like a carefully composed stream of colour and texture, the kind of refined tribute that might be chosen for a thoughtful farewell in Upper Norwood. The arrangement widens gently at one end and narrows at the other, giving a sense of direction and soft movement. Rich, deep red lilies with bold, star-shaped blooms punctuate the design, their petals opening wide to reveal darker markings and a hint of pollen at their centres, symbolising strength and enduring love. Surrounding them, clusters of creamy white and pale pink roses, at various stages of bloom, introduce a tender, almost whisper-soft beauty, while light pink carnations with ruffled edges fill the spaces, adding volume and a comforting texture. Small white chrysanthemum or daisy-like flowers peek out between the larger blooms, providing pockets of brightness that catch the eye. Threaded throughout are cooler accents of blue-purple thistles and clusters of lavender-blue filler flowers, which bring a touch of wild, meadow-like character, akin to a quiet walk towards the heights of Crystal Palace on a misty morning. The flowers are cradled in a generous bed of deep green foliage, with broad, polished leaves and finer, ferny strands that extend beyond the floral mass and help define the tapered outline. In spite of the stark white background, the tribute feels warm, personal, and deeply consoling, an elegant memorial spray designed to rest on a coffin or stand beside the service, expressing compassion, remembrance, and gratitude for a life lived among the streets and gardens of Upper Norwood.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Displayed against a crisp white backdrop, this refined funeral spray flows diagonally from a dense cluster of stems at the upper left to a soft, tapering point at the lower right. The arrangement showcases an artful mix of colour and texture, led by large gerbera daisies in shades of pale pink and rich fuchsia that serve as radiant focal points. Interspersed are graceful pink roses, their tightly spiralled petals unfolding into layered, cup-shaped blooms that suggest enduring love and gratitude. Ruffled white flowers, likely miniature carnations or chrysanthemums, nestle between the pink tones, bringing a serene brightness and a gentle, cloud-soft texture. Threaded throughout are tiny daisy-like blossoms, evoking chamomile or Matricaria, their petite white petals and golden centres adding a whimsical, countryside charm. Punctuating the design, clusters of bright red hypericum berries peek out from the greenery, adding rounded, glossy accents that enliven the overall palette. The flowers are supported by an abundant foundation of foliage: deep green, glossy leaves provide structure and depth; light, feathery fern fronds soften the edges; and rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves introduce a cool, misty hue and an imagined scent of fresh, herbal calm. Long, arching palm leaves extend from the lower right, emphasising the sense of movement and the elongated, cascading form of the tribute. At the upper left, the visible stems reveal the meticulous hand-tied craftsmanship a local family might expect from Florist Upper Norwood, whether ordering for a service around Gipsy Hill, a memorial near Westow Hill, or a gathering close to Crystal Palace Park. The overall atmosphere is one of dignified beauty, quiet reflection, and heartfelt condolence.
LIGHT IN YOUR HONOUR SPRAY
£75.00
There is a restrained, healing beauty to this elongated bouquet of white Calla Lilies, thoughtfully composed to read from the top-left down to the bottom-right on a pristine white backdrop. Each creamy trumpet bloom sits with dignified poise, their waxy petals curving like porcelain and catching soft light that outlines their sculptural form. Surrounding them is a careful selection of greenery: deep, glossy leaves provide structural support and a rich emerald frame, one folded into a prominent lower-right panel and another curled to embrace the upper-left, while variegated striped foliage threads through the heart of the design, brightening the centre with pale green and white streaks. Feathered fern fronds and finer herbaceous sprigs tuck into crevices, adding a gentle, woodland softness and a faint green scent, as though the stems were gathered after a morning walk through Westow Hill. Slender, grass-like blades arc outward, imparting a sense of movement and calm. A textured off-white fabric bow-linen or burlap-sits at the wider end, lending a quietly refined finish appropriate for moments of remembrance. Crafted with the sensibility of an Upper Norwood florist who understands local rituals, this arrangement radiates solace and composed elegance, suitable for formal tributes, bedside vigils, or as a comforting presence brought to a wake or home. For those wanting local care and careful hand-tying, Florist Upper Norwood can recreate this piece with the same attention to texture and tone.
ETERNAL REST SPRAY
£70.00
A sweeping arrangement of around twenty-four yellow roses lies across a pure white surface, their blooms gathered together in an easy, abundant fan that instantly draws the eye. The roses are at different stages of opening: some are tight, closed buds that hint at the petals hidden within, while others have begun to relax into partially open cups, revealing layers of soft, golden-yellow spirals. The colour is at once bright and gentle, radiating warmth without feeling overpowering, and it contrasts beautifully with the plain, uncluttered background. Between the blossoms, clusters of dark, glossy leaves weave through the arrangement, their deep green hue and slightly serrated edges adding texture reminiscent of mature rose bushes in front gardens scattered around Upper Norwood. The stems are visible at one side, slender and light green, aligned in a tidy bundle that suggests professional hand-tying and recent cutting. Light washes over the scene evenly, highlighting the subtle sheen on each petal and creating delicately shaded pockets between blooms and foliage, giving the bouquet a three-dimensional presence despite the minimalist setting. Although these yellow roses are often used to celebrate friendship and joy, in this context they feel soothing and tender, offering a gentle note of hope and remembrance. The image could easily accompany sympathy flowers being sent to a home near Westow Hill or a quiet service nearby, embodying the thoughtful care of a local florist who understands how to bring a soft, comforting brightness into moments of grief in the Upper Norwood community.
YELLOW ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
