TRIBUTES
A classic Christian cross made entirely of flowers rests against a crisp white backdrop, its colours rich yet soothing, like a quiet moment of reflection beside the River Lea. The main body of the cross is formed from an abundance of deep red roses, fully open and velvety, their petals layered so thickly that no gaps remain, symbolising a life filled with love and respect. Interlaced among the crimson roses are generous clusters of fuchsia pink roses and garden-style blooms, their softer, more textured petals adding a gentle radiance and a sense of warmth that softens the formality of the tribute. Here and there, small red and pink rosebuds peek through, suggesting continuity, legacy, and the many chapters of a shared story. A meticulously arranged edge of petite white flowers-resembling spray chrysanthemums or delicate carnations-traces the outline of the cross, creating a fine, luminous border that emphasises the sacred shape while conveying purity and serenity. Slim touches of green foliage and discreet ribbon work are woven around the perimeter, offering a fresh, natural frame and enhancing the sculpted silhouette. The composition feels calm, balanced, and reverent, ideal for a funeral service or memorial gathering in Bow, whether at a local church off Roman Road or a chapel near Victoria Park. Crafted with the sensitivity of an experienced East London florist, this floral cross speaks of compassion and remembrance, a comforting presence for family and friends gathered to say farewell and celebrate a life well lived.
SINCEREST CARE CROSS
£115.00
A meticulously crafted heart-shaped floral tribute is pictured from above, set against a bright white backdrop that accentuates every petal and curve. The broad surface of the heart is densely covered with pristine white spray chrysanthemums, each small bloom fitted snugly beside its neighbour until the flowers merge into a single plush, cloud-like texture. This snowy cushion feels calm and contemplative, the sort of soft focus that draws your thoughts inward during a moment of reflection. Enclosing the heart is a narrow, perfectly aligned band of emerald green ribbon, its satin edge catching subtle highlights and providing a fresh, elegant outline that stops the design from fading into the background. On the upper left side, a vibrant cluster of deep magenta and fuchsia calla lilies forms the main focal point, their sculptural, funnel-shaped heads arching gracefully along a diagonal line that leads the eye towards the centre. Some of the calla lilies are fully unfurled, revealing dark central spadices, while others curve more modestly, suggesting gentle movement as though caught in a still breath of air. Nestled among them are small clusters of white freesia, their delicate blossoms offering a second, finer texture and evoking a faint, sweet perfume. Surrounding this spray, glossy deep green leaves and soft fern fronds add depth, shadow, and a sense of living greenery. The arrangement feels deeply appropriate for a quiet farewell in Bow or nearby Mile End, a heart that might rest beside a photograph during a chapel service, conveying love, respect, and gratitude without a single spoken word.

£95.00
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
Elegant heart-shaped funeral flowers are presented against a plain white background, allowing the craftsmanship of this Bow-made tribute to come to the fore. The heart is completely covered with countless small, white chrysanthemum heads, set closely together to create a smooth, plush surface that looks as soft as a cushion and radiates purity and calm. At the upper left curve, three rich red roses form a focal cluster, their velvety petals spiralling inward and catching the light with a gentle sheen. These roses are framed by small white accent flowers and layered green foliage, including glossy leaves and airy, fern-like fronds that add depth and a sense of natural movement, reminiscent of greenery along the River Lea. Further down and towards the right, two additional red roses are carefully placed, visually linked to the main cluster by long, looping strands of bright green ornamental grass that sweep diagonally across the white base. This flowing greenery creates a soft line that draws the eye through the arrangement, echoing the curve of the heart. The perimeter is finished with a deep green satin ribbon, neatly pleated and smooth, giving a refined, tailored edge. The composition feels tender and composed, a classic expression of sympathy and remembrance. Ideal for funeral services or memorial gatherings in and around Bow, this floral heart would sit beautifully beside a coffin, on a stand in a chapel near Roman Road, or as a loving graveside tribute that quietly says, "You are loved and never forgotten."
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
An elegant floral cushion, shaped like a softly rounded diamond, fills the image with a tender blend of pink, cream, and purple tones, set against a clean white backdrop that lets every detail stand out. The arrangement appears as though it could rest gently at the head of a loved one's resting place, its tightly packed blooms creating a plush, pillow-like surface. Large fuchsia and blush pink roses are scattered throughout, many fully open so that you can almost trace each petal spiral with your fingertips. Nestled beside them, creamy pale yellow roses add a light, buttery softness that balances the cooler shades. Between these classic blooms, deep violet-purple lisianthus flowers provide a velvety contrast, their layered petals curling and folding in a way that suggests quiet movement, like the breeze drifting along the streets of Bow Road in the early evening. Sprays of tiny lavender and lilac filler flowers weave through the design, softening gaps and adding an airy, mist-like quality that makes the tribute feel full yet never heavy. Silvery eucalyptus leaves with rounded edges offer a muted green frame, while darker, finer greenery hints at shape and depth beneath the sea of petals. The light appears gentle and even, without harsh shadows, bringing out the natural texture and freshness of each stem as though the arrangement has just been prepared in a local Bow workshop for same-day funeral delivery. Overall, this floral pillow exudes serenity, compassion, and a sense of lovingly offered farewell, perfectly suited for a memorial, cremation, or graveside tribute within the Bow community.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION

PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
A serene funeral cross composed entirely of flowers is shown against a clean white backdrop, evoking the stillness of a quiet chapel in Bow on an overcast day. The whole structure of the cross is padded with tightly packed, snowy white chrysanthemums, or similar small white blossoms, arranged so precisely that the surface looks almost like a soft fabric. Each flower head touches the next, creating a gentle, cushiony effect that conveys innocence and peace. Around the edges of the cross, a slim but vibrant border of fresh green foliage and floral trimming gives clear definition to the silhouette, tracing the outline of the arms and base with a crisp, living frame. At the heart of the cross, where the horizontal and vertical beams meet, a graceful central spray adds warmth and colour. Several large roses bloom here in muted tones of peach, apricot, blush pink, and creamy white, their spiralling petals opening slowly as if in quiet reflection. Wisps of light green fern, fine strands of looping grass, and scattered sprigs of tiny mauve and lavender filler flowers weave between the roses, adding depth, movement, and a delicate contrast. The arrangement is photographed so that soft, even light falls across every petal and leaf, highlighting the craftsmanship that a local Bow florist would bring to tributes for services in nearby Limehouse or along the canals by Mile End Park. The finished cross feels deeply respectful and contemplative, an emblem of faith and remembrance designed to honour a life with grace and gentle beauty.
DEEP SYMPATHY CROSS
£90.00
A serene floral cross dominates the frame, resting on a crisp white background that makes every petal and curve stand out with clarity. The cross itself is generously covered in a thick layer of fresh flowers, arranged so closely that no mechanics are visible, only an unbroken field of soft colour. Creamy white and ivory blossoms form the foundation, their velvety petals creating a sense of calm and purity. Interwoven among them are roses in tender shades of peach, apricot and blush pink, some fully open with layered, spiralling centres, others still in gentle bud, suggesting ongoing love and remembrance. Between these focal roses, fluffy white hydrangea-like clusters add volume and depth, giving the cross a plush, cloud-like texture that feels comforting to imagine. Here and there, tiny specks of lavender or pale purple filler flowers catch the eye, subtle but deliberate touches that lift the pastel palette without overpowering it. Slim hints of fresh green foliage emerge around the outer edges, softly tracing the silhouette of the Christian cross and adding a natural frame. The lighting is bright but gentle, enhancing the pale tones and casting a soft shadow beneath, so the cross appears almost three-dimensional against the background. It is the kind of handcrafted funeral tribute that might be designed by a Bow florist for a local family, destined for a memorial at a nearby church or crematorium, perhaps after a quiet gathering along the canals or around Roman Road. The arrangement conveys tranquillity, respect and faith, offering a graceful floral farewell in moments of grief.
DIVINITY CROSS
£105.00
In the heart of Bow, a masterfully crafted heart-shaped floral arrangement embodies both elegance and profound sentiment. Local florists have selected approximately thirty to thirty-five roses, alternating between soft blush pink and creamy white, ensuring each one is placed lovingly to showcase its velvet-soft petals. The inclusion of airy clusters of baby's breath lends a textured delicacy, with tiny white blossoms gently nestled among the roses, their lightness reminiscent of early spring along Roman Road. The nuanced interplay of colour - from the tender pink roses to those with a hint of pale yellow amid the cream - offers a soothing, harmonious palette. The flawless heart shape encapsulates emotions of deep affection, reflection, and remembrance. Presented against a pristine backdrop, the arrangement glows with a sense of purity and quiet solace, making it particularly resonant for funeral tributes or moments of heartfelt sympathy within the Bow community. The bouquet's gentle presence can bring comfort to loved ones, offering a softly fragrant reminder of cherished times and enduring love, just as the local parks and historic corners of Bow provide sanctuary and peace.

ETERNAL PEACE TRIBUTE
£90.00
A reverent floral cross for a funeral or memorial is centred against a pristine white background, the simple setting allowing every flower and texture to stand out clearly, as if the tribute were placed alone in a quiet chapel off Bow Road. The cross itself is built from a thick bed of tightly packed white chrysanthemums, specifically small button-style blooms that sit shoulder to shoulder, creating a smooth, plush surface with subtle natural variation in each flower head. This uniform blanket of white suggests innocence, spiritual peace, and the calm that follows a long journey. Where the horizontal and vertical arms meet, a gentle cluster of roses brings a soft accent of colour: creamy ivory, pale blush pink, and warm peach petals open generously, their layered swirls almost touchable. Around these roses, feathery green fern and fine stems of tiny lavender or light purple filler flowers introduce graceful lines and a slightly wild, garden-picked feel, while still remaining formal enough for a church or crematorium service. Tracing the outer silhouette of the cross is a narrow lime-green ribbon, skilfully wrapped so that it just peeks out beneath the chrysanthemums, defining the shape and adding a fresh, contemporary note to this traditional design. The overall impression is one of quiet dignity and comfort-a floral expression of Christian faith and loving remembrance suited to final farewells in Bow churches, local crematoria, or family gravesides. Crafted with care by experienced hands, this floral cross embodies the tenderness and respect families seek when honouring a life that has passed.

Large heart-shaped sympathy arrangement featuring a velvety carpet of white chrysanthemums, ideal for a funeral or memorial service in Bow and the surrounding East London neighbourhoods. Each chrysanthemum bloom is closely nestled against the next, their small, tightly packed petals forming a smooth yet subtly textured surface that brings to mind freshly fallen snow or a soft quilt. Encircling this peaceful white field, a rich emerald green satin ribbon is precisely pleated, its ruffled edge creating a decorative frame that defines the heart and adds a polished, ceremonial feel. In the upper left arc of the heart rests a graceful accent spray: two open white roses, petals spiralling outward in creamy layers, sit among smaller white flowers such as freesias, some fully open and others still in bud. They are surrounded by an assortment of deep green foliage, including broad, shiny leaves and fine, fern-like fronds that introduce delicate movement, as if the flowers are quietly breathing. A few light tendrils of the feathery greenery drift softly over the cushion of chrysanthemums, blending the focal cluster with the rest of the design. The heart is set against a plain, bright white background, so the contrast between the crisp white flowers and the emerald border is clear and striking. The overall impression is one of serenity, purity, and heartfelt remembrance. This floral tribute would sit beautifully beside a casket in a Bow chapel, on a stand at a service near Mile End or Bromley-by-Bow, or at a graveside, offering a gentle, wordless message of love and condolence.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
Set against a spotless white background, a striking floral cross is arranged with the care and precision of an experienced Bow florist, its form tilted just slightly so the top left arm appears to lift gently toward the viewer. The shape is carefully traced with a thick, snowy border of white spray chrysanthemums, each tiny floret pressed closely to the next, forming a soft, clouded edge that symbolises purity and peace. Beneath this white halo, a narrow band of folded light green ribbon or foliage circles the cross, like a discreet frame that echoes the fresh greens seen around Mile End Park after rain. Within this tender boundary, the interior of the cross is an exuberant tapestry of colour and texture. Luxurious roses in hot pink and creamy pale yellow sit fully open, their layered petals creating rich, velvety centres that draw the eye along the cross's length. Between them, clusters of lime-green button chrysanthemums offer a lively, almost citrus brightness, their rounded heads adding a cheerful pom-pom texture that stops the design from feeling too heavy in a time of loss. Weaving through the roses and green mums are delicate, small-headed purple flowers, perhaps statice or lisianthus, adding depth and a calm, contemplative richness reminiscent of evening skies over Bow Church. The even, bright lighting ensures that every nuance of colour and every transition between blooms is visible, conveying both serenity and quiet strength. This floral cross would make a deeply meaningful funeral or memorial tribute for families in Bow, a sympathetic arrangement that unites faith, remembrance, and a gentle celebration of the life being honoured.

BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
£190.00
A carefully crafted heart-shaped floral tribute is shown against a spotless white background, allowing every petal and detail to be clearly sensed. The heart is split into two perfectly balanced halves, symbolising two lives or two feelings joined together. On the left, numerous creamy white to pale lemon roses nestle tightly side by side, their petals unfolding in smooth, rounded layers that suggest purity, calm, and gentle farewell. On the right, equally dense clusters of soft, medium pink roses mirror the shape, their slightly deeper colour adding warmth and tenderness, like a fond memory held close. Threaded delicately throughout both sides are generous sprigs of white baby's breath, or gypsophila, creating a fine lace of tiny blossoms that fill any gaps and soften the heart's outline. The gypsophila is particularly noticeable around the perimeter, where it forms a light, halo-like border, and along the central seam where the two colours meet, helping them blend without losing their contrast. The design feels still and contemplative, suited to a funeral or memorial service in Bow, perhaps for a farewell at a local crematorium or a quiet gathering near the River Lea. While no vase or stand is visible, the heart appears full, balanced, and thoughtfully constructed, with each flower chosen for freshness and harmony. This is the kind of tribute a local florist would prepare with care for families across Bow and neighbouring areas, to express lasting love, remembrance, and the wish for peaceful rest.

COMFORTING FEELING
£95.00
A meticulously designed heart-shaped floral tribute fills the frame, its compact, luxurious surface standing out clearly against a crisp white background, like a moment of stillness amid the quiet streets around Roman Road Market in Bow. The heart's structure is defined by a soft blanket of pastel pink carnations, each tiny ruffle overlapping the next to create a cloud-like texture that feels comforting and protective. Rising from this pink foundation are several prominent cream and pale-yellow roses, their petals swirling elegantly inward, each bloom reminiscent of a cherished memory being gently held. Threaded among these central roses, slender white spider chrysanthemums stretch their fine, needle-like petals from bright green centres, adding a sense of airiness and intricate detail, as if catching and reflecting the light. Deeper magenta-pink lisianthus blossoms introduce a contrasting, more intense tone, their bell-shaped flowers and softly crimped edges lending the design emotional depth and quiet sophistication. Small hints of fresh green foliage break through the mass of petals, not overpowering the pastels but enhancing their freshness, like glimpses of park greenery between Bow's terraced houses. At the tip of the heart, a pale pink ribbon peeks out discreetly, hinting at a florist's careful finishing touch and suggesting that this piece has been prepared as a loving funeral or memorial arrangement. The overall impression is one of tenderness and dignity, a floral heart that speaks gently of loss, support, and continuing affection, suitable for honouring someone special at crematoria, church services, or intimate family gatherings across Bow and neighbouring East London areas.

DEVOTED HEART
£130.00
A carefully sculpted heart-shaped floral tribute appears against a smooth white backdrop, its intense reds and lively greens drawing the eye the way a vibrant shopfront might catch your attention on a walk through Bow. The heart is completely filled, creating a plush, almost cushion-like surface of petals. Dominating the design are several large, velvety red roses, positioned so they form natural focal points across the heart. Their petals curl and spiral, each bloom at that ideal stage of opening where every layer is visible yet still holds its elegant shape. Surrounding them are numerous red carnations and mini carnations, their soft, frilled petals overlapping into a rich tapestry of crimson tones. Among this sea of red, clusters of lime-green button chrysanthemums punctuate the design, their rounded shapes and fine, compact florets adding an energising contrast, like little bursts of spring foliage. A border of variegated green and cream leaves, probably pittosporum, encircles parts of the heart, accentuating the outline and giving the arrangement a well-finished, professional look. Near the tip of the heart, a few slender fern fronds extend slightly beyond the main form, offering a touch of natural movement and depth. The composition is symmetrical yet warm, suggesting devotion, gratitude, and a love that endures beyond farewell. This heart would be at home on an easel at a funeral service in a Bow chapel or laid gently beside a graveside in East London, a thoughtful floral expression from local florists who understand how flowers can speak when words are hard to find.
ENDURING LOVE HEART
£95.00
Photographed against a spotless white backdrop, this cross-shaped funeral tribute appears calm and contemplative, like a moment of silence held in one of Bow's historic churches. The cross itself is carefully built from hundreds of pristine white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom pressed closely to the next so there are no gaps, only a continuous, cushion-like surface. Their soft petals and pale green centres create a gentle, cloud-like texture that radiates purity and peace. Following the entire perimeter of the cross, a fine lime-green ribbon gives structure and a subtle ribbon of colour, reminiscent of fresh new leaves along the paths by the River Lea. At the intersection where the upright and crossbar meet, a lush arrangement of royal-purple lisianthus draws the eye immediately. These elegant flowers, some fully unfurled and others just opening, layer upon each other in ruffled spirals, their velvety petals almost glowing against the white chrysanthemums beneath. Wisps of light greenery thread through the purple blooms, softening the transitions and adding a natural, garden-like feel. From this focal point, a small cascade of lisianthus stems trails diagonally down the right side of the cross, creating a sense of movement, as though the flowers are gently flowing downward in a quiet gesture of farewell. A faint, diffused shadow can be seen under the cross, giving the piece subtle depth without disturbing its stillness. The arrangement is clearly designed as a Christian tribute, suitable for a funeral, memorial service, or graveside ceremony around Bow, conveying sympathy, respect, and a message of spiritual comfort through its restrained palette of white, green, and deep purple.
