Set against a clean, white backdrop, this dignified funeral spray stretches in a graceful diagonal, full and rounded at the top left, then narrowing to a soft point at the bottom right, like a quiet exhale. Large white oriental lilies form the main focus, some fully open with broad, star-like petals and pale golden stamens, others still in elegant bud, their closed shapes adding height and a sense of unfolding time. Threaded among them are clusters of lisianthus flowers, predominantly white but edged delicately with lavender and soft purple, their ruffled, bell-shaped blooms bringing texture and a hint of colour similar to late evening light falling over Russell Square in Bloomsbury. Numerous small buds are scattered throughout, enhancing the feeling of depth and natural growth. Beneath and around the flowers lies a structured base of verdant foliage: broad, dark leaves, possibly aspidistra or similar, provide a solid, glossy backdrop, while some have been skillfully folded and rolled into architectural forms to draw the eye towards the heart of the piece. Slim palm-like fronds and other linear greens extend outwards from the right-hand side, accentuating the teardrop outline and suggesting gentle movement, as though shaped by a soft breeze drifting along the nearby streets of Bloomsbury. The palette of cool whites and rich greens creates an atmosphere of calm, making this arrangement ideal for placement on a casket, beside a memorial photograph, or at the front of a service. It conveys sympathy, respect, and quiet compassion - a thoughtful floral tribute suited to the historic churches and funeral chapels around Bloomsbury.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
This image presents a large, elegant red sympathy spray resting on an all-white background, its shape sweeping from the fuller upper left to a tapered tip at the lower right, like a gently falling teardrop. At the heart of the design are numerous deep red roses, their velvety petals fully open and layered in classic spirals, giving the arrangement a sense of enduring romance and quiet devotion. Between and around these roses, bright red carnations and spray carnations are threaded carefully, their intricately ruffled petals catching soft light and contributing a lush, almost cloud-like texture. The density of blooms creates a strong central band of crimson, ideal for placement atop a casket or as a central tribute in a service around Bloomsbury's historic churches and chapels. Cradling the flowers is an abundance of greenery. Dark green leaves, likely salal or similar, form a sturdy foundation that outlines the teardrop form, grounding the piece and emphasizing its graceful lines. Scattered through this base are rounded eucalyptus leaves in a muted, silvery green, softening the palette and adding a cool, calming presence. Delicate sprays of lighter trailing foliage arch outward and drift from the lower right tip, giving the design a natural, cascading rhythm, as if the flowers are gently flowing downward in a final, compassionate gesture. The overall effect is one of polished, classical beauty, with balanced proportions and careful attention to detail. Created by experienced florists in Bloomsbury, this casket spray offers a heartfelt floral farewell, expressing sympathy, gratitude, and deep respect in a quiet yet powerful way.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
A refined sympathy spray rests against a clean white background, its shape flowing diagonally from top left to bottom right in a graceful, teardrop-like cascade that feels at home in Bloomsbury's genteel streets. The focal point is a cluster of Stargazer lilies, their star-shaped blooms richly coloured in fuchsia-pink with crisp white edges and scattered burgundy speckles. Some blossoms are fully open, showing velvety interiors and prominent stamens, while others remain as closed or half-open buds, hinting at remembrance that continues to blossom. Around them, creamy white roses and plush white carnations create a soft, restful contrast; their tightly layered petals suggest innocence, respect, and enduring affection. Intermingled among these are bright magenta gerbera daisies, their bold, round faces bringing a fresh, modern energy that still feels deeply appropriate for a funeral or memorial gathering. Small clusters of tiny white daisy-like filler flowers lighten the composition, adding fine texture and a sense of airiness. The entire arrangement is enveloped in lush green foliage: broad, polished dark green leaves give structure, feathery fern fronds introduce gentle movement, and long, slender grass-like leaves arc and trail towards the bottom right, emphasising the spray's elongated profile. At the top left, the stems are neatly bound together, evidence of skilled hands carefully positioning each stem. The mood is one of solemn beauty with a quiet note of hope, suitable for services held near Bloomsbury's historic churches or for sending condolences to family and friends in the WC1 area, offering a visually soothing way to say goodbye and express heartfelt sympathy.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
This elongated, teardrop funeral spray is photographed against a simple white backdrop, allowing its gentle colours and careful structure to take centre stage, much like a quiet moment of reflection in a Bloomsbury garden square. The spray is fuller at the upper left, then tapers gradually towards the lower right, giving it a flowing, almost river-like shape. Throughout the design, pink roses are the most prominent flowers, their tones ranging from the softest blush to a more vivid rose-pink. Some blooms are still partially closed, with petals wrapped closely around the centre, while others are fully open, revealing intricately layered hearts that invite the eye to linger. Between the roses sit clusters of white carnations or spray carnations, their ruffled petals forming soft, rounded cushions of pure white, adding both volume and a gentle visual contrast that brightens the entire composition. These blossoms rest on an abundant foundation of greenery: broad, shiny dark green leaves form a protective cradle and clear outline, while rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave through the middle, breaking up the darker greens with their muted, almost frosted tone. Along the thinner right-hand section, delicate strands of deep green ruscus trail and curve outward, accentuating the teardrop silhouette and lending a sense of natural movement to the piece. The overall feeling is one of calm dignity and quiet grace, ideal as a casket spray or a significant sympathy tribute at a memorial in or near Bloomsbury. This arrangement speaks softly of remembrance, gratitude, and enduring love, providing a comforting floral presence when family and friends gather to say goodbye.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A long, elegant sympathy spray in tones of white and layered green is photographed against a crisp white backdrop, making it appear almost as if it floats. The design is intended to be viewed from the front, broader at one end and gently tapering to a refined point, a style often chosen for Bloomsbury funerals and memorial gatherings. Several prominent white lilies form the focal point, some fully open with wide, trumpet-shaped petals and pale green stamens, others still in bud, lending an air of gentle expectation. Around these lilies cluster soft white roses in various stages of bloom, their spiralling petals offering a classic, timeless feel. Ruffled white carnations bring a cloud-like softness, while round, daisy-like white Gerbera flowers with subtle yellow or cream centres add a clean, graphic contrast. Scattered among the main blooms are small white filler flowers that give a delicate, lace-like texture and help blend the different shapes. The surrounding foliage is rich and multi-layered: deep, glossy leaves form the base; fine fern fronds bring lightness; and silvery eucalyptus leaves add a muted blue-green note and subtle fragrance. Long, narrow leaves are artistically folded and tied at the top, introducing a structured vertical line. From the lower right side, numerous slender palm fronds fan outward, creating a graceful, elongated silhouette and a quiet sense of motion. The overall impression is one of peace, purity, and quiet strength, a dignified floral tribute that could sit beside a coffin, on a stand in a Bloomsbury church, or at a crematorium service, offering comfort and remembrance through its calm beauty.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
A masterful diagonal floral spray, abundant and full of subtle poetry, evokes the elegant charm of Bloomsbury's leafy squares and literary heritage. The focal point features regal white lilies-some with petals wide and open, others yet to bloom-exuding an aura of purity and quiet dignity. Nestled among them are clusters of deep pink and fuchsia roses, their velvety petals unfolding in tender tribute, recalling classic bouquets seen along Marchmont Street. White spray carnations add a ruffled touch of delicacy, weaving throughout the arrangement to create softness and cohesion. Playful green santini chrysanthemums, their round forms bright like spring's new growth in local gardens, offer lively texture and a modern breath. Glossy red hypericum berries are artfully dotted across the greenery, their brightness lifting the composition. The foundation rests on a lush array of dark aspidistra leaves and lighter, feathery palms and eucalyptus sprigs that cascade to the lower edge, underscoring the natural flow and grace of the piece. Surrounded by gentle daylight, every flower and leaf seems alive with feeling, making this spray a poignant choice for sending sympathy and comfort across Bloomsbury-where flowers, like words, are carefully chosen for meaning and beauty.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
A solemn and beautifully crafted sympathy arrangement lies against a clean white backdrop, its colours and textures standing out with quiet elegance. The spray is designed horizontally, with a lush, mounded fullness on the left that gently tapers towards a slimmer, trailing point on the right, echoing the idea of a peaceful final journey. Rich, crimson red roses are scattered purposefully throughout, their tightly furled, velvety petals symbolising profound affection and honour. Between them, white carnations appear in generous clusters, their softly ruffled blossoms creating a cushion-like layer of texture that softens the overall look and conveys purity and remembrance. The flowers sit on a substantial bed of foliage, where broad, dark green leaves lend structure and a glossy depth, while paler, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves add a cooler, more refined note, reminiscent of the greenery that lines the quiet corners of Bloomsbury's garden squares. Fine, trailing strands of light green foliage extend from the right-hand edge of the arrangement, introducing a subtle sense of movement and natural grace. The combination of deep red, clean white, and layered greens feels timeless and reassuring, making this piece suitable for funerals held in local Bloomsbury churches, crematorium chapels, or smaller family gatherings in the area. The overall impression is one of respectful, understated beauty-an arrangement designed to sit low and dignified on a casket or memorial table, offering a tangible expression of sympathy and a lasting tribute to someone deeply cherished.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A dignified funeral spray of red roses and berries is laid diagonally across a bright white background, its long, flowing form evoking the quiet grace of a final farewell in Bloomsbury. At the upper left, the florist has gathered the stems with precision and wrapped them in a wide band of glossy green leaf, creating a natural cuff that anchors the design and gives it a sense of readiness, as if it could be carried straight to a service near the British Museum or Brunswick Square. From this neat bind, the flowers spill outward and taper down to the lower right, forming an elongated, slightly curved silhouette reminiscent of a teardrop or laurel. The main focus throughout is on sumptuous red roses, their petals rich and velvety, shifting in tone from deep crimson at the centre to softer red at the edges. Some sit as tight buds, others hover between bud and bloom, and a few have opened fully, showing intricate spirals of petals that feel both strong and tender. Nestled among these roses, clusters of pinkish-red Hypericum berries offer a lighter flush of colour and a distinct texture, their small, rounded shapes contrasting gently with the softness of the petals. The arrangement rests upon a structured base of deep green foliage; broad, mirror-smooth leaves overlap and fan outwards, defining the overall shape and giving it visual weight. From underneath, fine palm fronds and slender greens extend and arch, particularly noticeable along the lower right, where they introduce a sense of motion and a slightly feathery edge. The simplicity of the white backdrop keeps every detail clear, letting this traditional red rose spray communicate love, remembrance, and gratitude in a way that feels at home in the thoughtful, historic streets of Bloomsbury.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
Against a pure white background, a refined funeral spray of white and ivory blooms stretches diagonally like a gentle sigh of flowers, starting full and rounded at the upper left and tapering to a slender point at the lower right. The design's core is made up of numerous white and cream roses, carefully layered so their velvety petals form a tapestry of spirals and curves. Some of these roses are open wide, displaying their centres with quiet confidence, while others remain in bud or half-opened stages, adding nuance and a sense of unfolding time. Between the roses, white carnations are tucked in clusters, their finely ruffled petals lending a soft, cushiony texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth rose blooms.   

Supporting this mass of white flowers is a rich base of greenery that appears both considered and natural. Silvery-green eucalyptus leaves thread gracefully through the arrangement, their cool, muted tones evoking the calm of a shaded Bloomsbury square on a still day. Darker green foliage, likely ruscus and other slender-leaved stems, emerges from around the blossoms and trails towards the tapered end of the spray, creating a flowing line that draws the eye along the full length of the piece. The cascading greens help define the tear-drop silhouette, gently echoing the curve of a path through nearby Coram's Fields.   

The overall impression is one of serenity, purity, and deep respect. This white and green funeral spray from a Bloomsbury florist would make a dignified tribute for a memorial service or funeral, whether placed beside a photograph of the departed or resting on a casket. Its understated elegance and quiet beauty offer comfort to grieving families and friends, expressing sympathy in a way that feels both timeless and sincere.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
A serene, elongated casket spray in soft pinks and rich greens is pictured on a clean white background, forming a graceful teardrop that appears broad and full at the upper left and then eases into a slender, tapering point towards the lower right. The surface of the spray is densely covered with blush pink roses, some in full, open bloom revealing intricate spirals of petals, others in gentler, half-open stages that add depth and a sense of quiet unfolding. Interspersed among these roses are pale peach-pink carnations, their finely ruffled petals giving the arrangement a soft, cushion-like texture and subtly varying the pastel palette. The light blooms are cradled in a generous foundation of dark green foliage; wide, glossy leaves create a sturdy outline, while more delicate, elongated leaves and wisps of trailing greenery spill gently from the sides and tip, emphasising the flowing, downward movement characteristic of a funeral spray. The overall colour harmony of muted pinks against vivid greens invites feelings of comfort and reflection, not unlike the tranquil pathways and hidden gardens tucked behind Bloomsbury's historic streets. Each flower appears freshly arranged, as though prepared that day for a local family in need of a gentle, dignified tribute. This sympathy spray is designed to lie flat on a coffin or memorial stand, providing a soothing visual focus at a funeral or celebration of life service and conveying unspoken sentiments of love, remembrance, and grace during a time of loss.
COMPASSIONATE FEELING CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
This image shows a stately red casket spray, composed in a long, flowing shape that widens generously at the centre and narrows gracefully towards each end, resting visually on a clean white background. At the heart of the design are numerous deep red roses, some in tight bud, others half-open and several in full bloom, each petal layered in a rich, velvety spiral that suggests devotion, honour and heartfelt love. Interwoven among them are red carnations, their softly fringed petals adding a plush, textured feel, and red gerbera daisies whose bold, flat faces with darker centres bring a lively rhythm to the composition. Delicate white filler blooms, similar to baby's breath or small spray chrysanthemums, flicker between the larger flowers, breaking up the sea of red with tiny flashes of light and giving the spray a sense of depth and movement. A prominent red satin ribbon sits near the upper centre, shaped into a full bow with smooth, shining loops and long streamers that cascade down through the flowers, reinforcing both the colour palette and the sentiment of remembrance. Encircling this abundance of blooms is a frame of lush greenery: long palm leaves arc outwards from the base and flank the sides, defining the classic, one-sided funeral spray silhouette, while darker, smaller leaves such as salal or ruscus densely fill the inner spaces. Wisps of fern foliage emerge here and there, adding fine detailing. The arrangement carries an air of calm strength and quiet ceremony, ideal for a memorial or funeral service in Bloomsbury, perhaps in a historic church near Holborn or a chapel off Tottenham Court Road, where a refined floral tribute is chosen to honour a life with grace and tenderness.

£120.00
SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
This large, double-ended casket spray is photographed against a clean white background, allowing every detail to be seen as clearly as it might appear at a Bloomsbury funeral service or memorial gathering near the British Museum. The arrangement is long and gently tapered, fuller towards the top left and narrowing as it stretches diagonally to the bottom right, like a quiet, floral sigh. At its core, rich red stargazer-style lilies open in starry bursts, their bold hue and dramatic shape forming strong focal points. Gathering around them, roses in cream, soft white, blush pink, and subtle lavender tones unfold at different stages of bloom, from tight, hopeful buds to fully opened cups that suggest a life well lived. Pale pink carnations with ruffled edges weave through the design, bringing a soft, cloud-like texture, while small white chrysanthemum sprays and dainty daisy-like flowers tuck into every space, making the spray look full and generous from every angle. Cool notes are introduced by spiky blue-purple thistles and airy sprigs of lavender-blue filler flowers, like statice or veronica, which add dimension and a gentle touch of modernity to the otherwise classic palette. A rich bed of mixed greenery-broad, glossy leaves and more delicate, trailing or ferny foliage-cradles the flowers, extending slightly beyond the blooms to create a natural, flowing silhouette. The mood of the piece is serene and reflective, a thoughtful expression of sympathy that feels well suited to the calm streets and garden squares of Bloomsbury, where families gather to say goodbye and share memories.
