A striking floral cross, designed as a funeral or memorial tribute, is presented against a spotless white background that emphasises every detail of the craftsmanship. The full length of the cross is densely covered with small white spray chrysanthemums, their petals layered and slightly curved so the surface appears soft yet substantial, like an unbroken blanket of fresh petals. Each arm and the vertical stem are edged with a shimmering royal blue satin ribbon, pleated and gently gathered to create a steady, undulating border that frames the white centre and brings a formal, almost ceremonial feeling to the piece. Where the two arms meet in the centre, a lush cluster of intense blue flowers forms a raised focal point, featuring ruffled blue carnations and more slender, spired blooms that resemble blue delphinium or orchid florets, all interwoven with rich green foliage and feathery fern tips. The greenery peeks out between the blue petals, giving natural contrast and making the central spray feel alive and dimensional. On the lower part of the vertical arm, the word "DAD" is carefully formed from the same royal blue ribbon, with each letter shaped in flowing loops that sit proudly above the chrysanthemum base, transforming the cross into a deeply personal tribute. The lighting is even and calm, casting only a gentle shadow that hints at the depth of the flowers and ribbon. It feels like the sort of heartfelt arrangement a family from Little Ilford might choose for a final farewell at a local chapel or graveside, a piece that carries both faith and affection, echoing the quiet streets and close-knit homes around Little Ilford with a message of remembrance, respect, and enduring love.

A large, traditional funeral cross made from fresh flowers is displayed on a pure white background, giving the arrangement a calm, floating presence. The cross is completely filled with tightly massed white spray chrysanthemums, each small flower placed so closely that together they form a soft, pillowed surface, with no gaps or greenery showing through the main body. Around the outside edge, a royal blue satin ribbon runs continuously, pleated and slightly ruffled to create a neat, decorative frame that gleams softly in the light and sets off the white blooms with a dignified contrast. At the central junction of the cross, a generous spray of blue flowers rises from the surface, made up of full, frilled blue carnations and more delicate, upright blue florets similar to delphiniums or orchids. Dark green fern tips and leaves are threaded through this focal cluster, radiating outwards and giving a sense of depth, movement, and natural grace. On the vertical stem, the tribute becomes personal: the word "DAD" is written entirely in ribbon, each royal blue letter carefully folded and formed so it rests clearly on top of the white chrysanthemum bed. The overall mood is one of gentle solemnity and loving remembrance, with the pure white and deep blue suggesting peace, faith, and devotion. It's easy to imagine this cross being prepared by a local Little Ilford florist for same-day delivery to a nearby funeral home or church, perhaps for a service close to Little Ilford Park or along the quiet streets off Romford Road, where family and friends gather to honour a much-loved father with grace and gratitude.

    The tribute was perfect. I requested to have the ribbon color changed and they were nice enough to arrange that. Good florists.
