FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
A serene funeral flower arrangement rests in a pale woven basket, its off-white handle curving gently above like a protective arch. The basket sits on a smooth white surface, the only anchor in an otherwise pristine background, so the flowers appear almost as if they are floating in a moment of stillness. At the centre of the composition, a creamy white rose unfolds in precise spirals, a symbol of innocence and remembrance. Flanking it, two rich purple calla lilies rise with quiet strength, their sculpted trumpet forms lending a sense of modern elegance and solemn beauty. Scattered among them are star-shaped clematis blossoms in soft lavender and lilac, their pale yellow centres adding a whisper of light. Sprays of cheerful yellow and crisp white, reminiscent of alstroemeria or freesia, weave through the arrangement, bringing a gentle note of hope without disturbing the respectful tone. A single magenta gerbera daisy, tucked to the right, offers a bolder accent, like a cherished memory that stands out among many. The entire basket is enveloped in lush greenery, from rounded, glossy Ruscus-like leaves to more delicate, lighter foliage, creating a full, rounded profile that feels comforting and secure. A subtle, natural shadow beneath the basket adds depth and realism, as though this tribute has just been placed in a peaceful corner of a Wanstead chapel or a quiet room overlooking Christ Church Green. Thoughtfully composed, the arrangement balances colour, texture, and emotion, making it a fitting expression of sympathy, condolence, or remembrance for families across the local community.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this elegant funeral flower basket radiates the calm of a quiet morning, like mist lifting over Wanstead Park. The rectangular woven basket, washed in a soft beige tone, features a gently curved handle that arches gracefully over a lush bed of flowers, giving the arrangement a sense of shelter and embrace. Dominating the composition are large, creamy white roses, fully open and perfectly cupped, their velvety petals layered in concentric circles that speak of purity, love, and cherished memories. Nestled among them are sprays of pale yellow, freesia-like blossoms, some still in bud, others just unfurling, adding a subtle, uplifting brightness without disturbing the overall serenity. Scattered through the design are distinctive, star-shaped clematis flowers in a delicate lavender and pale periwinkle blue, their slender petals and vivid yellow-green centres creating a refined contrast that catches the eye. Lush, dark green foliage fills the spaces between, with broad, glossy leaves and finer sprigs giving structure, depth, and a sense of natural abundance. The colours remain soft and contemplative-white, cream, buttery yellow, and muted lilac-ideal for conveying sympathy and quiet support to a family gathering at a service in or around Wanstead. The composition feels thoughtfully balanced, as though arranged by a florist who understands both the technical craft and the emotional weight of farewell flowers. This basket would sit beautifully beside a photograph, urn, or memory table, offering a gentle, living tribute that comforts without overpowering, and honours a life with elegance and grace.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
A softly contoured funeral flower basket is presented in a light, natural wooden container, its oblong shape and arched handle giving a sense of quiet sturdiness, as if it could be carried gently along a path by Wanstead Church or into a small chapel for a final farewell. The arrangement itself forms a rounded mound of colour and texture, dominated by fully open creamy white roses whose petals curl back in layered spirals, conveying peace, reverence, and a calm presence. Pressed close to them are velvety red carnations, their rich, frilled petals adding weight and emotion, like a deep, steady heartbeat of love and respect. Mixed among these are softer pink and bi-coloured carnations, their white petals delicately brushed with pink and red, softening the palette and suggesting personal memories, shared laughter, and quieter moments. Fine stems of smaller white blooms, similar to freesias, rise above and between the larger flowers, their bell-shaped florets lending a sense of breath and space, as though allowing the arrangement to "breathe" in a still room. A generous layer of dark green foliage frames the flowers; broad, glossy leaves give structure at the base, while slender, feathery greens lift upwards, adding a slight, natural looseness that prevents the display from feeling rigid. Seen against a bright white background, every bloom and leaf stands out clearly, highlighting the careful workmanship of an experienced florist familiar with local farewells across Wanstead and nearby Snaresbrook. This basket feels perfectly suited to rest beside a photograph at a memorial, to accompany a casket, or to send as a thoughtful expression of sympathy to a family home overlooking Wanstead Park or Grove Green Road.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
A richly detailed round bouquet is shown against a pure white studio background, its full, domed shape appearing almost like a small, colourful garden gathered into the hands. The most prominent blooms are plump garden roses in light pink, creamy peach, and warm yellow, their petals layered in tight swirls or opening generously to reveal soft, ruffled hearts. Between them, graceful clematis flowers stretch out slender petals in shades of pale lavender and white, each blossom centred with a tuft of yellow stamens that glow softly in the light. Adding contrast and a touch of wildness, spiky blue eryngium, or sea holly, rise up with metallic-blue, thistle-like heads that catch subtle highlights and shadows. Scattered deeper within the bouquet are clusters of purple lisianthus, some still in closed buds and others starting to loosen into frilled cups, giving the arrangement a sense of gentle movement. Bright red hypericum berries are tucked throughout, their small, rounded forms glossy and vibrant against the softer textures of petals and leaves. The base is richly wrapped in an assortment of greenery: broad, shiny foliage, airy fern-like sprigs, and darker, almost burgundy fillers that add depth and a slightly dramatic undertone. Light falls evenly across the bouquet, highlighting the fresh, velvety surfaces and hinting at a delicate, mixed floral fragrance. The overall impression is of thoughtful floristry, the sort of bouquet someone in Wanstead might have delivered to a friend on a quiet street off the High Street, to celebrate a birthday, a new home, or simply to brighten a grey East London afternoon.

COMPASSION POSY
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
A sumptuous, domed bouquet of lilies and roses rests against a clean white backdrop, its colours and textures gathered as if ready to be handed to someone special on a quiet Wanstead side street. White lilies form the structural core, their long, sculpted petals curving outward in graceful arcs, some blooms wide open, others just beginning to part from their green sheaths. Between them sit clusters of pastel pink roses, their blush tones soft as evening light over Wanstead Flats, mingling with cream and ivory roses that bring a sense of classic romance. Contrasting this softness, deep pink and fuchsia Oriental lilies, possibly Stargazers, flare dramatically, their star-shaped faces marked with darker speckles and centred by bright yellow stamens that seem almost to glow. Fine sprays of baby's breath are woven meticulously throughout, each tiny white flower hovering like a delicate mist around the larger blossoms, enhancing the bouquet's airy fullness. Slender green leaves and stems offer flashes of freshness from beneath, but the flowers themselves dominate, densely packed into a rounded, luxurious shape. Even under the bright, neutral lighting, the petals retain a sense of velvety depth, suggesting a bouquet just finished in a local shop close to Wanstead station, ready for same-day delivery. The design feels both celebratory and intimate, suited to weddings, milestone birthdays, or a tender gesture of affection for someone living near Wanstead Park. The image conveys a moment of quiet, heartfelt emotion, captured in an arrangement that balances bold colour with gentle romance.
