TRIBUTES
Displayed against a smooth white backdrop, this traditional Christian cross is entirely composed of fresh flowers, its design rich with colour and texture. The centre of the arrangement is a dense carpet of large, fully open roses in deep crimson and vivid fuchsia pink, their petals layered and velvety, creating a soft yet striking surface. The darker red roses dominate both the vertical and horizontal arms, symbolising devotion, respect, and profound loss, while the brighter pink blooms are woven in like gentle highlights, bringing a warmer, more comforting tone. Scattered throughout are smaller rosebuds in coordinating shades, their tighter forms adding depth and the feeling of a story still unfolding. Framing this vibrant heart is a narrow, precise border of tiny white blossoms, likely spray chrysanthemums or petite carnations, which form a luminous edge that clearly traces the cross's outline. These white flowers offer a cloudlike softness and a sense of purity, making the overall shape appear both defined and ethereal. From beneath the floral surface, hints of fresh green foliage and thin leaf-like ribbons peep out, adding a natural contrast while hinting at the florist's expert construction. Gentle, even lighting enhances every shade of red, pink, and white, and a few subtle shadows suggest the slight height and texture of the arrangement. This floral cross, reminiscent of tributes delivered to services in Upper Norwood's churches and crematoria near Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill, feels designed for quiet moments of reflection, offering comfort and a symbol of faith to families saying their final goodbyes.
SINCEREST CARE CROSS
£115.00
The image shows an elegant, heart-shaped floral arrangement designed as a funeral tribute, lying flat against a crisp white background that enhances every detail. The heart itself is constructed from hundreds of small white spray chrysanthemums, packed tightly together so that their rounded petals merge into a soft, cushion-like surface. The uniform white creates an impression of purity, serenity, and gentle comfort, almost as if the flowers are offering a quiet embrace. Around the perimeter of the heart runs a neat band of emerald green ribbon, its satin texture catching the light with a subtle sheen. This continuous border follows the curves of the heart with careful precision, giving the arrangement a structured, framed look that feels both traditional and polished-perfect for a dignified farewell in the Upper Norwood area. On the upper left side of the heart sits a vivid diagonal spray of deep magenta and fuchsia calla lilies. Three of these lilies are fully open near the top of the cluster, their sculpted, trumpet-shaped blooms curving gracefully around dark, velvety centres. Below them, two slimmer calla lilies drift downward across the white chrysanthemum base, partially unfurled, which introduces a sense of flow and movement. Delicate clusters of white freesia-like flowers nestle among the calla lilies, their smaller blossoms adding lightness and a suggestion of gentle fragrance, reminiscent of walking through nearby Norwood Grove on a calm morning. Rich green foliage-fine, airy ferns and bolder, glossy leaves-frames the coloured blooms, providing depth and a natural garden feel. The overall effect is quietly powerful, a floral heart that speaks of love, remembrance, and heartfelt condolence, perfectly suited for a memorial or funeral service in and around Upper Norwood.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED HEART
£95.00
This image shows a lovingly crafted floral Union Jack, arranged as a flat rectangular tribute that faithfully follows the proportions and structure of the national flag. The entire surface is covered with tiny flower heads, packed so closely that they create a rich, tactile texture, more like a thick tapestry than a collection of individual stems. Deep blue blooms form the background quarters and the outer frame, their clustered petals creating an even, velvety appearance. Set boldly over this blue canvas, a wide red St George's Cross runs vertically and horizontally, constructed from tight groups of red flowers that build a dense, slightly raised band across the middle. Along both sides of this central cross, slim white floral strips act as crisp edges, providing the fimbriation that keeps each colour distinct. From each corner, bright white diagonal swathes of flowers sweep towards the centre to form the St Andrew's Cross, with slender red diagonals of St Patrick's Cross laid precisely across them and edged once more in white. The craftsmanship is evident in the way each line meets cleanly at the centre, with no fraying of colour, and in the consistent height and density of the blooms across the design. There is a quiet stillness to the piece, as if it has been placed gently on a stand in a chapel or funeral home, waiting to accompany a final farewell. In the context of Upper Norwood, this type of patriotic floral tribute might be chosen for a service near Gipsy Hill or Church Road, reflecting a life of service, strong British roots, or a deep appreciation for national traditions and remembrance days.
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
This image shows a refined, heart-shaped floral tribute designed for moments of farewell, similar to those created by experienced florists serving Upper Norwood and the nearby Crystal Palace area. The heart is built on a solid base and then completely covered with miniature white chrysanthemums, each flower meticulously placed to create an even, velvety texture. From a distance, the surface looks like a serene white cushion, but closer inspection reveals the intricate detail of every tiny petal, with gentle shadows adding depth and definition. Running diagonally from the upper left curve of the heart is a striking composition of five deep red roses. Three roses sit together at the top, their velvety blooms full yet refined, each petal folding inwards in a rich spiral. Around them, glossy green leaves and delicate, fern-like fronds soften the edges and introduce natural movement. A pair of single red roses extends the line down and across the heart, connected through elegant arcs of bright green ornamental grass that rest lightly on the white chrysanthemums. These fine strands create a subtle, sweeping motion, guiding the eye along a path that feels almost like a visual expression of remembrance. The heart's edge is defined by a smooth border of dark green satin ribbon, its soft sheen catching the light and framing the flowers in a way that feels both traditional and polished. Presented on a crisp white background, the red, white, and green tones stand out clearly. This type of tribute would be especially fitting for a funeral, memorial, or graveside ceremony in and around Upper Norwood, offering a tender expression of love and sympathy.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
A lovingly crafted floral cushion tribute fills the frame, laid out against a smooth white background that makes its colours and textures glow. The pillow-shaped arrangement has softly rounded corners and a low, even profile, evoking the idea of quiet repose and making it a classic choice for funerals and memorials in and around Upper Norwood. Across the entire surface, flowers are packed closely together, creating a lush, almost fabric-like tapestry. Large, full-headed roses in bright fuchsia pink, rose blush, and creamy pale yellow form the main structure, their petals unfurled to reveal velvety, spiralling centres that invite the eye to linger. Threaded between them are deep royal purple lisianthus blooms, their ruffled, multi-layered petals adding texture and a more solemn, reflective tone. Tiny clusters of lavender or lilac filler flowers, such as statice or limonium, soften the transitions between larger blooms and give the tribute an airy, delicate intricacy. Around and among the flowers, a medley of foliage provides contrast and a sense of natural abundance: rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves catch the light with a cool, powdery sheen, while darker, fine, fern-like greens lend depth and shadow, echoing the kind of greenery seen in the gardens and tree-lined roads close to Crystal Palace and Church Road. The lighting is gentle and balanced, showing the true colours of the flowers without glare, as though the tribute were resting in a quiet, sunlit room before being taken to a service. Overall, the arrangement conveys a feeling of care, tenderness, and dignity, a floral expression of sympathy that speaks of cherished memories and a heartfelt final farewell.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION
£95.00
A carefully hand-assembled funeral pillow rests on a luminous white background, its surface entirely formed from a dense carpet of pristine white chrysanthemum heads. At a distance the cushion looks like a cloud - the tiny petal clusters create a uniform, velvety texture that conveys purity and peaceful repose. The rectangular form has soft, rounded corners and a slightly poufed profile, deliberately shaped to evoke rest and quiet comfort. Encircling the edge is a delicate lime-green ribbon treatment, pleated into regular loops that create a scalloped border; the gentle green provides a refreshing counterpoint to the all-white surface, suggesting renewal alongside remembrance. Anchoring the composition at the pillow's upper-left corner is a sympathetic spray of flowers: layers of white lisianthus sit beside richly hued purple lisianthus, some buds offering a moment of reserved colour amid the white expanse. Feathered fern fronds and glossy deep-green leaves are interlaced through the grouping, adding movement, contrast and natural texture, while a broader green leaf wrap neatly binds the stems. Soft studio lighting catches the subtle shadows between blooms and highlights the pillow's handcrafted details, and the scent of clean chrysanthemums and faint sweet lisianthus might be imagined when close. Locally, this style of tribute is familiar to undertakers and families around Westow Hill and Norwood Road, a composed, respectful choice for memorial services and cemetery tributes that honors a life with understated grace.
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
The image captures a large, traditional Christian cross made entirely from fresh flowers, presented against a bright, seamless white background that accentuates its serene presence. The body of the cross is fully blanketed with small, pristine white chrysanthemums, placed so tightly together that they create a continuous, plush texture, almost like a soft cushion of petals. Their immaculate white colour conveys innocence, reverence, and a deep sense of calm. Trimming the outer edge of the cross is a slender ribbon of green foliage, following each straight line and curve, clarifying the shape and adding a subtle yet vital contrast. This fine border suggests the resilient greenery you might see lining the residential streets of Upper Norwood after a gentle rain. At the very centre of the cross, a raised focal spray draws attention. A cluster of generous roses in warm, comforting shades of peach, blush pink, and creamy ivory nestles together, the petals slightly cupped and layered, as if caught at the perfect moment of bloom. Around them, delicate fern fronds, fine strands of bright green grass, and tiny, star-like purple filler flowers weave through the composition, bringing texture and depth without disturbing the tranquillity of the colour scheme. The whole design speaks of thoughtful craftsmanship and compassion, the kind of sympathy tribute a family might commission from Florist Upper Norwood for a funeral service or a graveside committal. Soft, even lighting reveals every nuance of petal and leaf, underscoring the message of love, remembrance, and enduring faith this floral cross is meant to express.
DEEP SYMPATHY CROSS
£90.00
A beautifully detailed funeral cross fills the frame, presented against a seamless white background that emphasises its gentle colours and intricate textures. The cross is completely blanketed in flowers, creating a lush, three-dimensional form that feels full yet refined. Large, premium roses in shades of creamy white, ivory, soft peach, and light pink are arranged with care across the vertical stem and arms, their rounded, velvety petals curling outward in soft spirals. These roses create a calm, pastel gradient, with warmer peach and apricot tones mingling gracefully with cooler whites and blushes. Between and around them, generous clusters of white hydrangea, along with small, tightly packed white spray roses or chrysanthemums, fill every space, lending a plush, cushion-like texture that speaks of comfort and tenderness. Scattered lightly throughout the design are tiny accents of lavender or pale purple filler blooms, adding just enough contrast and intricacy to draw the eye closer without disturbing the overall tranquillity. The outline of the cross is gently traced by glimpses of green foliage peeking from beneath the flowers, offering a subtle frame and a reminder of living growth. Soft, even lighting highlights the curves of each petal and casts only the faintest, diffused shadow beneath the cross, enhancing its sense of presence on the white surface. Crafted with the kind of sensitivity often requested by families in Upper Norwood for church memorials, chapel services, or crematorium tributes, this floral cross serves as a peaceful symbol of faith, remembrance, and enduring affection when words alone feel insufficient.
DIVINITY CROSS
£105.00
Carefully composed in Upper Norwood, this heart-shaped floral creation speaks volumes in gestures of comfort, gratitude, and deep affection. A flourish of about thirty-five roses, ranging from the softest pastel pinks to creamy whites-some with a hint of mellow yellow-fills the heart's contour, their velvety petals gently curled and inviting to the touch. Cloud-like clusters of white baby's breath are woven throughout, creating a soft and uplifting visual texture reminiscent of gentle mist rising over the historic heights of Crystal Palace. Every rose is hand-selected for freshness and placed with intention, symbolizing the close relationships and community ties that define Upper Norwood. The white background and even lighting allow the romantic hues to glow unobstructed, bringing a serene beauty to spaces from Westow Hill to Beulah Heights. This arrangement, both comforting and elegant, brings a sense of peace suitable for marking a personal milestone, expressing love on anniversaries or Mother's Day, or offering heartfelt condolence. Subtle fragrance and beautiful design unite for a tribute that perfectly mirrors the spirit and warmth of Upper Norwood.
DEAREST ONE HEART
£130.00
Seen from a bird's-eye view against a pure white backdrop, this heart-shaped composition reads as an exercise in quiet refinement: a dense assemblage of white, cream, pale peach and soft blush pink blooms arranged with deliberate, practiced hands in Upper Norwood's floral tradition. The design is dominated by roses in multiple stages-from tight, shell-like buds to wide, open blooms-whose layered petals create a gentle tonal shift from ivory to blush, while clustered white hydrangea adds a plush, cloud-like texture that lifts and softens the overall surface. Intermittent sprigs of deep green variegated foliage provide a fresh, cool punctuation, visible along the edges and through small gaps in the blooms, lending depth and a natural counterpoint to the pastel palette. The heart's outline is precise yet organic, revealing masterful construction when viewed from the slightly elevated overhead perspective; a soft shadow beneath the piece hints at its volume and the careful floral mechanics beneath the blooms. The scent implied is faintly sweet and clean-the classic aromatic whisper of roses balanced by the green freshness tucked underneath. Prepared with local sensitivity, this arrangement evokes both celebratory romance-appropriate for weddings, engagements or anniversaries-and solemn reverence as a memorial or sympathy tribute for families around Crystal Palace Park and Westow Street. Made with fresh-cut flowers and practiced technique, it conveys a message of enduring love, consolation and timeless grace from Florist Upper Norwood's workshop to the local community.
HEAVENLY HEART
£150.00
A unique floral teddy bear, lying flat yet full of dimension, dominates the image against a bright white backdrop that highlights every carefully placed blossom. The bear is fashioned entirely from fresh flowers, its main body cloaked in densely packed royal blue blooms that create a plush, cushiony appearance reminiscent of a well-loved toy. Each small floret contributes to a velvety surface, especially along the rounded cheeks, gently domed tummy, and softly curved limbs. In contrast, clusters of creamy white and soft yellow flowers mark out the features: inner ears are delicately defined, a rounded snout is clearly visible at the centre of the face, and oval pads sit neatly on each of the four paws. These lighter tones soften the intensity of the blue and guide the eye to the bear's calm expression. Two glossy dark eyes, almost button-like, catch the light with a hint of reflection, while a small, black triangle nose and a subtly curved mouth line beneath invoke a sense of tenderness and quiet reassurance. Around the neck, a sheer white organza bow with ruffled edges fans out lightly, adding a touch of elegance and innocence. The floral sculpture is slightly angled, which brings a sense of personality and presence to the piece. In Upper Norwood, an arrangement like this often finds its place at baby funerals, children's memorials, or as a special remembrance tribute delivered to homes and chapels around Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill. The gentle blue and cream palette offers solace, making this bear a moving choice for families seeking sympathy flowers that feel both personal and comforting.
BLUE TEDDY BEAR TRIBUTE
£100.00
In this image, a beautifully composed funeral cross dominates a pure white background, its clean surroundings drawing the eye to every detail of the floral work. The cross is built in full relief and completely covered with blossoms in a harmonious palette of soft pinks, lilac-mauves, and gentle purples that together create a soothing, contemplative atmosphere. At the point where the vertical and horizontal arms intersect, three generously opened roses in a dusty-rose to muted mauve shade serve as the main focal feature. Their layered, velvety petals unfold outwards, encircled by fresh, arching fronds of bright green fern and smaller, darker leaves that add structure and depth. Flowing away from this heart, the rest of the cross is thickly massed with trumpet-shaped lisianthus blooms, each with softly ruffled petals in tones ranging from shell pink to richer rose pink. Many of these lisianthus reveal darker centres, punctuating the design with gentle shadows and changing highlights as the eye moves over the surface. Scattered delicately between the main flowers are tiny pink and purple fillers, petite white blossoms, and young, light green buds, all helping to build a richly textured, almost cushion-like effect. Along the edges, unobtrusive traces of darker purple ribbon or backing material peek from beneath the dense petals, subtly defining the outline of the cross. The arrangement exudes calm and loving respect, reminiscent of the thoughtful tributes often seen in local churches and crematoriums serving Upper Norwood families. It is a design intended to offer quiet comfort and a visible symbol of faith, making it a fitting choice for memorial services, wakes, or graveside farewells across the neighbourhood.
ETERNAL PARADISE CROSS
£95.00
This image presents a beautifully balanced round floral tribute, photographed from directly above so that the careful symmetry of the design can be fully appreciated. The main body of the tribute is composed of hundreds of white chrysanthemum heads, packed edge to edge with no greenery visible between them. Their densely layered petals build a smooth, cushion-like surface, soft in appearance and suggestive of comfort and quiet rest. Each chrysanthemum has a delicate greenish-yellow centre, adding a very subtle colouring that keeps the white from feeling austere. Around the circumference, a rich emerald satin ribbon runs in continuous, pleated scallops. The satin's fine sheen gives the impression of a tailored garment, framing the flowers in a way that feels both ceremonial and gentle. At the top central section of the cushion, a decorative spray of mixed greens and blues draws the eye. A vivid lime-green spider chrysanthemum, with its many long, slender petals, forms the heart of this cluster. Encircling it are glossy apple-green Hypericum berries and deep green leaves, layered with light, feathery fern fronds that soften the outline. Nestled among this greenery are two globe-shaped Scottish thistles, their spiny heads tinged with rich blue-violet tones. The thistles' distinctive shape and colour bring an unmistakable Scottish character to the design, suggesting that the arrangement may be chosen to honour ancestral roots or cherished memories of Scotland. The overall impression is one of quiet dignity and thoughtful symbolism, a fitting floral tribute for funeral services in Upper Norwood and the Crystal Palace area, whether delivered to local churches on Church Road, funeral homes near Central Hill, or chapels overlooking the tree-lined streets.
ETERNAL PEACE TRIBUTE
£90.00
A reverent white floral cross fills the frame, resting against a clean, luminous white background so that its form and subtle shadow appear almost to float. The cross is thickly layered with fresh white button chrysanthemums, packed in tight, orderly rows until no greenery shows through. The result is a smooth, plush surface that feels both comforting and ceremonial, much like the calm interior of a small church in Upper Norwood on a quiet weekday morning. Trimming the edge of the cross is a narrow band of lime green ribbon, crisply wrapped so that a slim line of colour gently outlines the shape. This green accent adds a contemporary touch, while also evoking the leafy streets and gardens around Crystal Palace Triangle. At the intersection of the vertical and horizontal arms, the design shifts in rhythm: a small, thoughtfully arranged bouquet of roses becomes the centrepiece. The roses are fully open but still fresh, their petals spiralling in soft shades of pale pink, peach, and ivory cream. These pastel tones sit gracefully against the white chrysanthemum backdrop, symbolising affection, gratitude, and a tender goodbye. Slender fern fronds arch around the roses, framing them with natural movement, while tiny lavender-coloured filler flowers lace through the bouquet, lending delicate contrast and suggesting a faint, sweet fragrance. The entire arrangement feels balanced and composed, intended for display at a funeral service, wake, or memorial gathering anywhere in Upper Norwood or nearby. It reflects the careful hands and empathetic touch of local florists who regularly support families during moments of loss.
GRACEFUL CROSS
£90.00
This carefully sculpted saxophone floral tribute, photographed against a plain white background, carries the emotion of a final song played in honour of a loved one from Upper Norwood. The main structure of the design is defined by hundreds of tightly packed yellow chrysanthemum florets, arranged so that their petite, multi-layered petals create a plush, almost fabric-like surface. They trace every detail of the saxophone, from the slim mouthpiece and arching neck to the straight body and open bell, so that the instrument's shape is instantly recognisable. Along this sunny expanse, tiny red spray roses and delicate rosebuds are tucked in at intervals, positioned to suggest the keys and mechanisms a musician's fingers would once have danced across. Their deeper, passionate colour punctuates the yellow, giving the tribute both visual rhythm and emotional weight, like the rich notes of a favourite jazz tune echoing through the streets near Church Road. Fine strands of glossy green foliage and arcing bear grass weave around the contours, especially along the outer edge of the bell and up the curve of the neck, suggesting the movement of music rising and curling into the air. Discreet support wires near the mouthpiece area give a hint of the craftsmanship behind the design without distracting from its beauty. Created as a personalised sympathy piece, this floral saxophone would sit gracefully beside a coffin or at the front of a chapel in Upper Norwood, offering comfort through its warm colour palette and musical symbolism. The overall impression is one of gratitude, remembrance, and a life celebrated through sound and flowers.
SAXOPHONE TRIBUTE
£130.00
This photograph features a beautifully composed Celtic cross funeral arrangement set against a flawless white studio background, allowing the colours and textures of the flowers to stand out clearly. The structure of the cross is created from dozens of small white chrysanthemums, packed tightly together across the arms and upper section so that the surface looks plush and softly elevated. Threaded through this snowy base, lime green button chrysanthemums trace the distinctive Celtic circle and interlocking patterns, their neat, rounded heads forming a clear ring around the centre and picking out the traditional motifs. The mix of cool white and bright green gives the tribute a fresh, uplifting quality, reminiscent of the trees and open spaces around Upper Norwood Recreation Ground on a clear morning. On the lower vertical arm, three clusters of rich purple carnations introduce a deeper, more poignant tone. Their layered, frilled petals, almost velvety to the eye, are arranged in slightly overlapping groups, supported by subtle sprays of green foliage and a few slender stems that curl naturally along the white chrysanthemum bed. The lighting is bright yet soft, accentuating the gentle shadows between petals and revealing the three-dimensional craftsmanship that has gone into shaping the cross. The overall mood is calm, respectful, and reflective, ideal for a funeral service, memorial, or celebration of life in the Upper Norwood area. This floral cross speaks quietly of faith and continuity, offering a comforting focal point for mourners saying goodbye, whether in a local church, chapel of rest, or family home nearby.
WHITE CELTIC CROSS TRIBUTE
£170.00
This image presents a lovingly constructed teddy bear floral arrangement, designed as a tender tribute for moments of farewell in Upper Norwood and the surrounding hills. The bear is entirely formed from clusters of soft white and pale cream chrysanthemums, expertly placed to build a rounded, cuddly shape. Every limb and feature is defined with flowers: the domed head topped with two rounded ears, the slightly outstretched arms, and the sturdy legs that seem to anchor the bear securely in place. The chrysanthemums' petals overlap in dense layers, creating a plush, velvety appearance that evokes the feel of a well-loved soft toy. The face is gentle and reassuring, with two small, dark, bead-like eyes and a neat black nose giving the bear a calm, watchful expression. A faint hint of pink curves into the suggestion of a smile, softening the features and adding emotional warmth. Across the bear's chest is a floral waistcoat created from clustered magenta and deep pink blooms, their more vivid tones breaking up the pale fur and adding a touch of playfulness. At the neckline, a dainty bow of sheer purple netting is tied neatly, its delicate folds catching the light in subtle highlights. The composition is set against a simple white background with soft, even lighting, allowing the colours and textures to be clearly seen without distraction. Crafted as a sympathy tribute, it would sit beautifully in a chapel near Westow Street or at a family home overlooking Crystal Palace Park, conveying love, remembrance, and the comforting presence of a guardian figure made entirely from fresh, fragrant blooms.
WHITE TEDDY BEAR TRIBUTE
£100.00
Set against a spotless white backdrop, this angel wing floral arrangement captures a quiet, reverent beauty that resonates with the peaceful corners of Upper Norwood, from Westow Park to the calm of nearby churches. Two symmetrical wings arc gently towards one another, each meticulously covered with a densely packed layer of small white flowers, most likely chrysanthemums or miniature carnations, chosen for their lasting freshness and symbolic purity. The petals create a soft, continuous surface, while delicate hints of pale green and buttery yellow peek from the centres of some blooms, lending depth and a subtle sense of living warmth. Along the outer edges and at the tips, soft white feathers are arranged in flowing sweeps, their fine strands drifting outward like down caught in a shaft of light. These feathers add a sense of lift and airiness, suggesting wings poised to rise above the rooftops and treetops around the Crystal Palace triangle. Gentle, even lighting rests on the composition, producing a faint shadow beneath that gives the wings a light three-dimensional presence without disturbing the serene atmosphere. The overall mood is one of tenderness, as though the wings could fold protectively around the memory of a loved one. Often chosen as a central tribute for funerals, cremations, or memorial gatherings in Upper Norwood, this arrangement symbolises spiritual protection, peace, and the hope of eternal rest. The careful blending of texture-from the velvety petals to the feathery edges-shows the practiced hand of an experienced florist, creating a comforting focal point at a time of loss.
ANGEL WINGS TRIBUTE
£170.00
In this image, an angel-wing floral tribute for a funeral or memorial service rests on a clean white backdrop, allowing the nuanced craftsmanship to stand out. The twin wings are entirely composed of small white chrysanthemums, densely packed so that they form a plush, cloud-like surface, reminiscent of soft mist drifting over Upper Norwood's tree-lined streets near Beulah Hill. Each individual flower contributes to a sense of calm continuity, with the faintest touch of green at its centre providing natural variation and a feeling of freshness. Along the outer edge, a fringe of white feathers outlines the wings, their fine strands fanning gently outward and reinforcing the feathered, celestial motif. The feathers add a tactile softness that contrasts beautifully with the more structured form of the flowers. At the point where the wings meet, a vivid fuchsia-pink satin bow serves as the emotional focal point. The bow's glossy loops and gently trailing ribbons lie across the white blooms, introducing warmth and personal sentiment. Cradled within the bow is a single pink rosebud, its tight spiral of petals suggesting a life treasured and a love that continues beyond parting. Just beneath, a compact cluster of dark purple thistle-like flowers or textured foliage provides a deep, contrasting note that anchors the composition. This angel-wing tribute would be at home in a chapel or crematorium near Upper Norwood, offering comfort to families and friends as they gather to say goodbye, its blend of white, pink, and purple tones creating a serene and dignified farewell.
PINK ACCENTED ANGEL WINGS TRIBUTE
£180.00
This piece is a vibrant study of colour and texture, a Jamaican flag reimagined as a sculptural patchwork. It isn't a flat banner but a mosaic built from thousands of tiny, crumpled bits of tissue, fabric scraps, and paper, pressed tightly to create a three-dimensional surface. The diagonal gold saltire slices across the rectangle, dividing the composition into four energetic triangles. The top and bottom triangles glow with emerald green, while the left and right panels bear a deep, charcoal black. Each fragment catches the light differently, giving the surface a tactile shimmer and a subtle, irregular rhythm as you move past. The white background isolates the piece, amplifying its sculptural presence and inviting a closer, almost forensic look at its hand-made texture. For anyone in Upper Norwood, from Crystal Palace to Gipsy Hill, the image feels like a celebration of community craft and Caribbean spirit. It could serve as a powerful backdrop for articles about heritage, festivals, or resilience in urban life, or as a muse for bold event decor. We hope it inspires viewers to imagine colour, craft, and care coming together in a single, hopeful gesture. Available for same-day delivery to homes and venues across Upper Norwood and surrounding neighbourhoods.
JAMAICAN FLAG TRIBUTE
£150.00
Set against a plain, bright white backdrop, this large Star of David tribute appears almost sculptural, its form built entirely from compact clusters of white and dark blue flowers. The overall Magen David shape is crisply defined by a broad edging of white chrysanthemums, their soft, ruffled petals packed so densely that the border feels like a padded frame around the star. Inside this edge, a central hexagon of matching white blooms anchors the piece, giving it a calm, open centre that naturally draws the gaze. From the sides of this hexagon, the six points of the star radiate outward in velvety navy or indigo petals, forming rich triangular sections of colour that convey depth and gravitas. At the inner base of each blue point, a smaller triangle of white flowers is precisely placed, repeating around the design and lending it an intricate, tessellated appearance. The petal surfaces catch the light softly, creating slight shadows and highlights that accentuate the three-dimensional quality of the flowers without breaking the strong, graphic outline of the star. There are no ribbons or accessories, only the interplay of petals and colour, which keeps the focus firmly on the symbolic form and its meaning. The result feels reverent, quiet, and deeply respectful, especially suited to a Jewish funeral or memorial service in the Upper Norwood area, perhaps travelling from a florist's studio near Crystal Palace Triangle to a local chapel. This lovingly crafted Star of David arrangement seems designed to rest beside a casket, at a graveside, or within a shiva home, offering a gentle expression of faith, memory, and shared community support during a time of mourning.
STAR OF DAVID TRIBUTE
£160.00
An elegant floral flag crafted by a local hand in Upper Norwood stands against a crisp white backdrop, capturing the Irish tricolour in petals. The flag is built from thousands of tiny blossoms arranged into three even vertical panels: left emerald green as a lush carpet, center white as a soft, airy stripe, and right orange as a radiant field. Each stripe shares the same lush texture, producing a tactile, sculpture-like surface under the gaze. The rectangle is carefully proportioned, a handmade tribute that rewards closer inspection of every petal cluster. The green speaks of Ireland's heritage, the white of lasting peace, and the orange of shared history, while the overall glow remains celebratory and dignified. Soft morning light plays across the petals, highlighting depth and the gentle sheen of the surface. Set here in Upper Norwood, around Norwood Road and Crystal Palace, the piece feels at once ceremonial and intimate, suited to St Patrick's Day celebrations, civic events, or quiet remembrance. Florist Upper Norwood takes pride in freshness, care, and local craft, with options for same day delivery to homes or venues across the area, making this floral flag an ideal gift for families, schools, or community gatherings.
IRISH FLAG TRIBUTE
£150.00
This composition reads like a heartfelt tribute shaped in colour and texture: the sacred symbol has been modelled from densely packed, bright orange marigolds whose soft, pillowy heads create a tactile, almost woven surface. Each marigold is placed to follow the symbol's precise outline so the form appears sculpted and three-dimensional against the stark white background. Nestled at the lower center, where the lines meet, a graceful cluster of white lilies offers a cooling focal point. At least two lilies are fully open, their petals gently flaring to reveal pale green and yellow stamens, while a handful of smaller buds and unopened blooms suggest quiet continuity. Interspersed around the lilies are glossy green leaves-salal-like in shape-and delicate sprays of gypsophila that add a whisper of texture and depth, tempering the intensity of the orange with soft white points. A faint drop shadow beneath the arrangement gives the impression of a freestanding tribute, carefully assembled by hand. The scent profile would be warm and honeyed from the marigolds with a clean, green lift from the lilies and foliage, an intentional balance for devotional or commemorative settings. As a neighbourhood florist in Upper Norwood, Florist Upper Norwood often prepares similar floral symbols for Sikh festivals, memorials and community events near Crystal Palace Park and Westow Hill, and this piece would be equally suited to a Gurdwara display or a respectful home altar; same-day delivery across the local area can ensure freshness and timely placement for important observances.
ORANGE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
£190.00
Elegant white and green heart-shaped sympathy tribute, photographed against a spotless white background to showcase its details clearly. Created in the traditional funeral style often chosen by families in Upper Norwood, the heart is completely paved with small white chrysanthemums. Their compact petals form a continuous, cushion-like surface, giving the impression of a soft snowy blanket laid with care and reverence. The white is unbroken and luminous, suggesting purity, peace, and gentle remembrance. Encircling this blanket of blooms is a rich emerald green satin ribbon. It has been carefully pleated, each fold forming a tiny ruffle, so the border ripples around the heart in a graceful scalloped pattern. The ribbon's sheen introduces a subtle play of light, contrasting beautifully with the fibrous texture of the mums and helping the heart shape stand out, much as the greenery frames the views from Upper Norwood's hillside streets. At the upper left side of the heart sits a tasteful focal spray. Two ivory-white roses, fully open and velvety, anchor the cluster. Their layered petals unfold in soft curves, a symbol of love and devotion that endures beyond farewell. Around them, smaller white flowers-perhaps freesias or similar dainty blooms-nestle among glossy dark-green leaves and fine, feathery foliage. A few tendrils of this light greenery arch over the white chrysanthemum base, adding movement and a hint of wildness, like wind-touched branches in nearby South Norwood Country Park. This floral heart is meant as a comforting presence during funerals and memorials, offering a quiet, dignified way to honour a loved one's memory and support those in mourning.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
This image shows a striking floral cross laid on a clean, brilliant white surface, photographed from a slight overhead angle so its contours and layers are beautifully revealed. The cross shape is firmly defined by a border of tightly packed white spray chrysanthemums, creating a soft, snowy edge that gently cushions the more vivid colours within. Just below this white fringe, a narrow band of pale green folded ribbon or foliage runs around the entire perimeter, offering a light sheen and a suggestion of freshness that recalls the calm green spaces of Upper Norwood, from Church Road down towards the edges of Crystal Palace. Inside this delicate double frame, the cross is filled with a rich tapestry of blooms. Large, open roses in bold fuchsia pink and creamy pale yellow form the main focal points, their generously layered petals unfurling in full, romantic spirals. Between these roses, vivid lime-green button chrysanthemums cluster in small groups, their rounded, almost pom-pom forms providing textural contrast and a contemporary pop of colour. Threaded through the design are smaller flowers in deep purple and violet shades, probably lisianthus or statice, which weave between the larger heads to add depth, shadow, and a sense of gentle movement. The entire arrangement is tilted diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, enhancing its three-dimensional character and making the cross feel dynamic yet serene. Bathed in even, bright lighting, every detail of the floristry-each petal, floret, and ribbon fold-is clearly visible. The result is a thoughtful funeral or sympathy tribute, the sort of floral cross families in Upper Norwood might choose to express love, faith, and peaceful remembrance at a church service or crematorium farewell.
PRECIOUS MEMORY CROSS
£95.00
An impressive Khanda-shaped funeral arrangement is shown centre stage, its sacred Sikh symbolism conveyed entirely through flowers and expert craftsmanship. Against a pristine white background, the strong circular form of the chakkar and the clean lines of the central double-edged sword are clearly defined, while the two flanking kirpans arc gracefully on either side. Each section is densely covered in royal blue chrysanthemums or similar small blossoms, meticulously placed so that the entire symbol reads as a solid field of intense blue. The surface appears soft and plush, with the petals creating fine shadows and highlights that bring subtle depth to the design, like a ceremonial emblem carefully laid out for a service in Upper Norwood or nearby Gipsy Hill. At the lower centre, where the blade meets its base, a contrasting floral detail catches the eye. Three pristine white roses, their petals unfolding in perfectly formed spirals, rest together like a quiet offering. Around them, tiny white filler flowers, reminiscent of baby's breath, add a cloud-like delicacy, while deep green foliage, possibly fern or salal, frames the cluster in a natural crescent. This central accent introduces a sense of purity, peace, and tenderness against the more solemn blue expanse. Soft, diffused shadows beneath the tribute lend a sense of weight and three-dimensionality, suggesting it sits on a table in a chapel of rest or is being prepared for same-day delivery to a family home near Upper Norwood's tree-lined streets. The emotional tone is thoughtful and reverent, a floral expression of Sikh identity and devotion, created to accompany prayers, hymns, and shared memories at a final farewell.
BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
£190.00
A beautifully composed heart-shaped funeral tribute fills the frame against a pure, uncluttered white background, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on its delicate balance of colour and form. The heart is perfectly symmetrical and split down the centre, forming two gentle halves that meet seamlessly. On the left, tightly grouped creamy white and hint-of-lemon roses create a soft, luminous surface. Each bloom is at its peak, petals silky and slightly curled at the edges, suggesting purity, calm, and a peaceful goodbye. On the right, the mood warms slightly with a mirrored mass of medium pink roses, just as plentiful and full. Their petals fold in layered spirals, showing subtle variations of rose, blush, and dusty pink that convey affection, gratitude, and an enduring sense of love. Threaded throughout the whole arrangement, including the centre seam and all around the outer contour, are countless tiny blossoms of white baby's breath. These airy clusters soften every line, adding a light, feathery texture that gives the heart a gentle, cloud-like aura. The overall look is carefully controlled yet deeply tender, the sort of thoughtful design a family in Upper Norwood might choose when planning a funeral or memorial at a nearby church or at the crematorium on a quiet hillside. In this composition, the roses speak of devotion and treasured memories, while the gypsophila offers a whisper of comfort. Together, they form a heartfelt tribute created with the sensitivity and skill of an experienced local florist who understands how flowers can carry love and sympathy when it matters most.
INFINITY ROSE HEART
£105.00
In this image, a refined three-heart floral arrangement is shown as a touching tribute, perfect for a farewell gathering in Upper Norwood. The hearts are arranged in a diagonal cascade from top left to bottom right, each one fully covered in miniature roses that cling closely together, giving the forms a plush, velvety surface. The colour palette is tender and understated: dusty mauve and soft lavender roses dominate, while small clusters of pastel pink spray roses are threaded through, bringing little notes of warmth and light. Every bloom appears freshly picked, with smooth petals curling gently outward and catching the soft, even light that bathes the scene. Intertwining ivy vines trace the outer edges of each heart and extend naturally between them, creating a living connection that binds the three hearts as one. The ivy is a bright, healthy green, with small, pointed leaves that contrast beautifully with the muted roses. Set against a pure white background, the arrangement stands out clearly, while faint, vertical reflections on the left side hint at a glass panel or polished wall, suggesting a contemporary chapel or remembrance room similar to those near Church Road or Westow Street. The design feels both artistic and deeply personal, symbolising unity, family ties, or three generations held in one loving memory. It would be a meaningful choice for a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life service in Upper Norwood, where families gather to share stories, grief, and gratitude, accompanied by thoughtful floral tributes like this one.
APPRECIATED & ADMIRED CASKET HEARTS
£120.00
This U-shaped ceremonial mala is presented with the clarity of a studio shot yet carries the lived-in spirit of a neighbourhood celebration in Upper Norwood. Beginning with twin columns of soft, creamy white florets at the top - each cluster densely packed to emulate delicate chrysanthemums - the garland moves into a grounding band of reddish-brown elements that look like layered, flattened petals or preserved foliage, their texture evoking warm wood and terracotta. Below these, a full, luminous arc of golden-yellow, marigold-like pom-poms forms the main body of the U, their cheerful roundness suggesting the sunlit bustle of market stalls near Crystal Palace on festival mornings. Small, vivid green accents appear where colour blocks meet, acting like tiny leafed pauses between the bands. The central pendant drops into view as a generous, ruffled cluster of bright orange petals, multi-layered and tactile, serving as a visual anchor and a traditional auspicious emblem. The materials are clearly artificial - durable silks and synthetic fibers - chosen to hold shape and colour through repeated door-hangings and puja seasons. The studio lighting reveals the density and layered construction, promising both visual impact and longevity for doorway or altar use during Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, weddings, or Onam. As a local florist familiar with Upper Norwood and nearby Crystal Palace Park gatherings, I see this piece as a practical, luminous alternative to fresh garlands - a ritual object that welcomes guests with the unmistakable palette of devotion and festivity.
COLOURFUL GARLAND
£75.00
Shot from a soft, angled overhead perspective on a stark white surface, this rectangular floral pillow is a richly textured tribute that balances bold colour with tender detail. At its heart sit numerous hot pink roses-velvety, generous and warm-surrounded by pale pink carnations whose delicate ruffles soften the composition. Scattered throughout are deep purple lisianthus and bright lemon-yellow ranunculus, each bloom chosen to create lively contrast and to suggest joyful memories rather than only mourning. The cool, sculptural blue of eryngium thistles lends a dramatic, architectural accent while sprays of silvery eucalyptus and varied green foliage create a natural, breathable matrix beneath the flowers. The whole piece rests on a decorative red pleated satin base, the ruffled edge tracing the pillow's perimeter and offering a dignified finish often requested for memorial cushions in Upper Norwood, Westow Hill and around Crystal Palace Park. As a working florist here I assemble these tributes so that the tactile mix-soft rose petals, feathery carnation edges, and prickly thistle points-reads as both handcrafted artistry and heartfelt comfort. Florist Upper Norwood prepares them with structured support beneath the surface to hold each stem in place; the arrangement gives a visual hug in rooms softened by low daylight or in floral tributes laid near a favourite headstone. The scent is quietly floral and green, and the overall effect is one of remembrance threaded through with warmth and celebration of life.
COMFORTING FEELING
£95.00
A meticulously crafted heart-shaped floral arrangement fills the frame, standing out vividly against a clean white background as if placed on a table in a peaceful Upper Norwood chapel. The design is densely composed so that the entire heart surface is carpeted in blooms, evoking a sense of protection and embrace. At its core, several large roses in creamy ivory melting into pale yellow unfold in graceful spirals, their tightly layered petals suggesting quiet strength and steadfast love. These roses are encircled by a generous collar of soft pastel pink carnations, the ruffled petals densely layered to create a plush, cushion-like texture that defines the heart's iconic silhouette. Between these pastel tones, slender white spider chrysanthemums appear like delicate starbursts, their many fine petals radiating around light green centres and adding a touch of brightness and airiness to the arrangement. Rich magenta-pink lisianthus blooms are dotted throughout, their slightly fluted, bell-shaped forms deepening the colour palette and adding a gentle, emotional intensity. Small, glossy green leaves and tiny buds weave in and out, softening the structure and reinforcing the sense of fresh, hand-picked beauty, reminiscent of flowers gathered near Crystal Palace Triangle or Westow Park. A pale pink ribbon peeks discreetly from the lowest point of the heart, giving a hint of the stand or base that would support this tribute during a funeral or memorial service. The overall composition conveys heartfelt sympathy and remembrance, a dignified floral heart that could be delivered by a local Upper Norwood florist to honour a loved one's life with grace and sincerity.
DEEPLY ADORED HEART
£89.00
This rectangular floral pillow is a study in serene craftsmanship: a dense, even carpet of small white chrysanthemums covers the entire surface, creating a plush, pillow-like plane that evokes sleep, purity, and stillness. The chrysanthemums' soft, cushiony faces catch a cool, natural light and carry a faint, comforting scent that settles over the arrangement like a sigh. Anchoring the composition is a vivid cluster in the upper-left corner - several deep fuchsia and magenta roses whose velvety petals open like warm hands, accompanied by petite white freesias or similar buds that lend a citrus-sweet note and bright punctuation. Waving fern fronds and glossy green leaves form a verdant cradle beneath the focal spray, their texture contrasting the chrysanthemums' fluff with slender, precise lines. Around the perimeter a neat pleated trim of light green satin ribbon is visible, its satiny glimmer offering subtle definition and a soft hint of colour that complements the roses. Photographed on a pristine white backdrop with a delicate shadow beneath, the tribute reads as both sculptural and intimate. This design is traditionally used as a funeral pillow for services or graveside remembrances and is often requested by families in Upper Norwood, Gipsy Hill and the Crystal Palace area who want a quiet, tactile way to honour a life. The overall impression is one of gentle dignity: handcrafted, fragrant, and thoughtfully composed for moments of farewell.
DEEPLY CHERISHED CUSHION
£135.00
Viewed head-on, this heart-shaped floral composition reads like a declaration: tightly clustered deep red roses build the weight and shape, their velvety petals unfolding in stages from closed buds to lush, open cups that hold light and shadow across the heart. Delicate clouds of white baby's breath (Gypsophila) nestle in the interstices, their tiny blossoms softening the intensity of the reds and creating a gentle, cloud-like lace that borders and cushions each rose. Positioned deliberately in the upper left arc is a single pure white lily, its broad petals curving outward and showing a slight creamy yellow at the base, while yellow stamens add a quiet, warm focal point against the cool ivory. The bouquet sits on a crisp white backdrop that isolates the colours and textures: the roses' velvet, the gypsophila's filigree, and the lily's satin sheen. A subtle perfume seems implied - heady rose sweetness tempered by the lily's green, faintly spicy lift - and the overall effect is one of considered intimacy and refined passion. The arrangement's precise heart silhouette and dense composition suggest an artisan florist's touch, appropriate for vows renewed, a memorable anniversary, or a Valentine's offering. As crafted locally near Westow Hill and Anerley Hill, this piece reflects neighbourhood sensibilities that favour classic romance refined with contemporary restraint; Florist Upper Norwood often prepares similar designs for same-day delivery across Upper Norwood and neighbouring Crystal Palace when heartfelt expression must arrive with dignity.
DEVOTED HEART
£130.00
This image shows a luxurious, heart-shaped floral tribute presented on a clean white backdrop, the type of design often chosen for heartfelt farewells and memorial services in Upper Norwood. The heart itself is densely packed with blooms, its surface appearing soft and full, as if every petal has been coaxed into precisely the right place. Several impressive deep red roses, fully formed and velvety, sit across the heart as key focal points. Each rose has a tight spiral at its centre, opening gradually outward in layered whorls, giving the impression of quiet strength and enduring love. Weaving around and between them are mounds of smaller red carnations, their frilled and slightly serrated petals adding delicate texture and filling the heart's curves without any gaps. Interspersed throughout are bright lime-green button chrysanthemums, neat and spherical, which bring a splash of modern freshness and lighten the intensity of the red. Around the perimeter, small sprigs of variegated pittosporum foliage, green with crisp cream edges, frame the blooms and define the heart's outline. At the tip of the heart, a glimpse of feathery fern foliage softens the very bottom and adds an organic, garden-like feel. The overall composition is balanced and symmetrical, ideal for display at local churches, crematorium chapels, or homes throughout Upper Norwood. It evokes memories of walks up Church Road or peaceful moments on the hill above the city, offering families a tender way to express devotion, remembrance, and sympathy for someone dearly missed.
ENDURING LOVE HEART
£95.00
This photograph captures an elegant funeral flower cross, the kind of tribute a local family in Upper Norwood might see resting near the altar of a church on Beulah Hill or in a peaceful chapel at Crystal Palace. The cross is completely covered with tightly clustered white spray chrysanthemums, their petals forming a dense, soft surface that appears almost like finely woven fabric from a distance. Each blossom is flawless, with a small, pale green eye in the centre that becomes visible only when you look more closely, adding gentle variation across the field of white. Running neatly along the perimeter of the cross is a slim ribbon in a bright lime-green shade, folding smoothly around each curve and corner to highlight the shape. This fresh, spring-like hue brings a touch of brightness reminiscent of the gardens and green spaces tucked around Upper Norwood's hilly streets. At the point where the arms meet, a striking cluster of deep purple lisianthus forms the visual heart of the design. The flowers are rich and velvety, some fully open with rippled petals, others still partly closed, promising to unfold. Here and there, slender sprigs of soft green foliage and tiny filler flowers weave among the lisianthus, introducing a light, airy feel. From this central spray, a delicate line of lisianthus blooms and buds flows diagonally down the lower right arm, softening the geometry of the cross with gentle movement. The lighting is calm and controlled, creating a faint shadow beneath the design that lifts it subtly from the white background. The piece as a whole conveys peace, remembrance, and faith, a respectful and timeless floral cross suited to funerals, memorials, or graveside tributes for the Upper Norwood community.
EVERLASTING MEMORY CROSS
£90.00
This large, single-piece cross tribute sits on a stark white background, its craftsmanship intended to comfort. The main field is densely covered with white chrysanthemum blooms, each petal layered to produce a plush, continuous surface that feels solid and calming to the eye. A ruffled band of deep purple satin ribbon traces the perimeter, the pleats casting soft shadows that give the piece a stately outline. Down the vertical arm the word "MUM" is clearly formed from smaller purple heads - likely eustoma or compact spray chrysanthemums - the letters intentionally bold to make the dedication unmistakable. At the focal intersection a compact bouquet of deep violet and lavender roses blends with lighter lisianthus, offering tonal richness and a gentle contrast of shapes: rose spirals against lisianthus ruffles. Variegated green foliage-leaves with pale margins and darker centres-adds a crisp, garden-like freshness, while small green berries give a tiny, tactile detail. The composition is balanced for viewing in a church aisle or beside a casket; the colour story of white and purples conveys purity, respect and heartfelt sorrow. The overall scent is soft and non-intrusive, more a memory of spring than a perfume. As Florist Upper Norwood, serving Westow Hill and the surrounding streets, we often create this style when families ask for a classic but personal tribute that reads plainly at a wake, service, or graveside moment of farewell.
