Funeral Flowers
Captured in clear, even light against a plain white background, this heart-shaped floral tribute radiates a quiet, dignified beauty that feels perfectly suited to a farewell service in Mottingham, whether in a local church or a small family chapel of rest. The generous heart form is densely packed with tiny white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom like a miniature cushion, together forming a soft, seamless blanket of white that suggests purity, serenity, and a gentle goodbye. The petals overlap slightly, giving a plush, almost quilted appearance you can almost feel under your fingertips. Tracing the outer contour of the heart is a slim band of emerald green ribbon, its satin edge turned neatly so that it hugs the outline, adding definition and a subtle, respectful touch of colour, reminiscent of green spaces around Mottingham and nearby Grove Park. Resting gracefully over the upper left curve of the heart is a diagonal spray of deep magenta and fuchsia calla lilies, their sculpted, trumpet-shaped blooms curling elegantly around dark centres. Three stand prominently near the top of the cluster, with two more slender blooms trailing downwards, creating a soft, flowing line that leads the eye towards the centre of the heart. Weaving through the calla lilies are gentle tufts of white freesias or similar fragrant blossoms, bringing a lighter, airy texture, while feathery fern fronds and glossy green leaves add depth, structure, and a sense of natural abundance. The design feels thoughtfully balanced and deeply affectionate, conveying enduring love and heartfelt sympathy for a much-missed loved one.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED HEART
£95.00
This image shows a meticulously crafted floral Union Jack, created as a rectangular funeral or memorial tribute and photographed against a simple white background so that nothing distracts from the design. The entire flag is built from countless small flowers, each head nestled closely against the next to form a dense, cushion-like surface that feels almost like a soft rug of petals. Through the centre, the bright red of St George's Cross stands out in bold, straight lines, the rich crimson blooms carefully aligned to keep the edges sharp and true. Diagonal red stripes, representing St Patrick's Cross, stretch from corner to corner, their slender paths bordered by neat rows of white blossoms that mark out the fimbriation. These white flowers also shape the broader diagonal arms of St Andrew's Cross, their purity and clarity giving a sense of calm dignity. Surrounding all of this, the deep blue background is made up of densely packed florets, perhaps hydrangeas or dyed chrysanthemums, creating a consistent, slightly rippled texture that frames the central crosses. The interplay of red, white, and blue is perfectly balanced, with no colour overpowering another, mirroring a sense of unity and shared history. The arrangement feels solemn yet proud, a floral flag that might be seen at a veteran's farewell, a service of remembrance, or a national commemoration held in Mottingham, New Eltham, or along Mottingham Road. Crafted with the skill and care of a local florist who understands the area's traditions, this tribute is designed to bring comfort to families while honouring a life lived with strong British roots.
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
A softly contoured floral cushion, shaped like a plump pillow with rounded corners, is shown against a clean white backdrop, its shadow faintly grounding it as though resting on a chapel table. The entire surface is densely covered with flowers in harmonious shades of pink, cream, and regal purple, echoing the tender, reflective mood of a quiet farewell in Mottingham. Fully open roses in vibrant fuchsia and delicate blush pink reveal intricate, spiralling petals, while creamy pale yellow roses offer a gentler, buttery tone that lightens the design. Woven through this rose-filled tapestry are deep purple lisianthus blooms, their velvety, layered petals adding depth and a slightly cooler note, like an evening sky settling over Marvels Lane. Stepping closer, you would notice miniature spray roses tucked in between larger heads, along with clusters of tiny lavender-hued filler flowers that lend a fine, lace-like texture, ensuring no gaps interrupt the flow. Encircling and supporting the flowers is a generous frame of foliage: round, silvery eucalyptus leaves bring a soft, misty green, while darker, slender, fern-like greenery adds structure and a gentle, feathery edge. The lighting is even and calm, allowing the colours to appear true and restful rather than bright or brash. As a whole, the piece speaks of remembrance and dignity, an arrangement a family might choose from Mottingham Florist for a funeral or memorial service, to place on a coffin or graveside as a visual expression of love, gratitude, and the wish for peaceful rest.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION
£95.00
The image presents a heartfelt "DAD" funeral tribute, created as three upright block letters lavishly carpeted in pure white chrysanthemums, each petal forming part of a soft, cloud-like texture. The small blooms are set closely together, so that no gaps show, giving the letters a plush and immaculate finish that suggests care, precision, and a deep sense of reverence. Encircling the edges of every letter is a pleated band of deep green satin ribbon, its rich colour and subtle shine framing the white flowers with a clear, elegant outline, reminiscent of the green verges and tree-lined paths around Mottingham and nearby Elmstead Woods. A dark, sturdy framework is faintly visible at the back, confirming that this piece is designed to stand proudly at a funeral, memorial service, or graveside gathering.   

Thoughtful floral accents soften the structured shape. On the top left curve of the first "D", a neat cluster of white freesia and glossy foliage adds gentle movement and a hint of fragrance, echoing the feel of a small hand-tied posy you might see carried into a local church off Mottingham Road. A matching yet slightly simpler spray of freesia and greenery balances the top right of the final "D". Between them, sweeping from the first "D" towards the lower right of the central "A", two slender green stems form an elegant diagonal line. This line leads to a striking arrangement of two deep purple calla lilies, their sculpted trumpets emerging from more white freesia and fresh green leaves. The contrast of purple against white and green brings a quiet drama, making the piece a moving, personal farewell that would speak of love, gratitude, and enduring memories for any Mottingham family saying goodbye to a much-loved dad.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
Crafted in a Mottingham studio close to the station and the green expanse of Scadbury Park, this circular sympathy wreath presents a broad, uniform ring of pristine white chrysanthemums arranged into a dense, cushiony base. Each chrysanthemum's layered petals are closely set to create a soft, uninterrupted halo that reads as peaceful and enduring, symbolising continuity and gentle remembrance. Against that snowy foundation, an artful cluster of purple Eustoma (lisianthus) sits in the upper-left quadrant, its range of tones from pale lavender buds to deep violet, nearly velvety blooms introducing a quiet, noble contrast. The lisianthus are supported by a mix of foliage - broad, variegated leaves and airy fern-like fronds - which give texture, lift, and a natural, meadow-like coolness to the vignette. A faint border of crinkled dark purple mesh or ribbon is subtly visible beneath the chrysanthemums at both the inner and outer edges, harmonising with the lisianthus and providing a finished, respectful frame. Soft studio lighting creates a delicate shadow under the wreath, imparting depth and a sense of calm presence against the white backdrop. As prepared by Mottingham Florist, the design balances classic funeral formality with contemporary subtlety: understated, tactile, and composed to offer solace. It is an arrangement conceived for quiet farewells, suitable for a chapel service, memorial table, or graveside tribute in and around Mottingham and neighbouring Chislehurst.
HONORING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
A dignified circular sympathy wreath presented against a bright white background, its ring formed from hundreds of small, immaculate white chrysanthemums tightly arranged to create a dense, comforting surface. The chrysanthemums' fine, layered petals produce a soft, textured cushion that reads as peaceful and pure. At the wreath's upper-left quadrant an elegant focal spray introduces warmth: three soft yellow roses, each with multiple velvety petals, bloom together as a gentle nod to friendship and remembrance. Interspersed among them are sprays of delicate white gypsophila that lend an ethereal, mist-like quality, and touches of lavender-purple statice that punctuate the pale palette with restrained colour. Lush green leaves and delicate fern fronds cradle the cluster, offering contrast in both texture and tone. A discreet band of dark purple ribbon or mesh peeks through the chrysanthemum heads along the inner and outer rims, providing a subtle framing element that adds depth and richness to the overall sympathy design. The image is evenly lit, the soft shadows beneath the wreath emphasising its dimensionality and careful craftsmanship. As a local florist's sympathy classic popular across Mottingham, Eltham and Chislehurst, this arrangement - available from Mottingham Florist for thoughtful local delivery - conveys calm dignity, serving as an appropriate and comforting tribute at funerals, wakes, or memorial services when families want a composed, respectful floral expression of condolence.
IN MY PRAYERS WREATH
£75.00
A meticulously crafted heart-shaped floral tribute dominates the frame, resting against a plain white backdrop so every petal and ribbon fold can be seen clearly. The entire heart is massed with pristine white chrysanthemums, each small flower head closely set to the next to create a smooth, cushion-like surface that feels soft and comforting to the eye. The white blooms form a calm, unbroken field, evoking purity, peace, and a quiet moment of reflection. At the upper left curve of the heart, three sumptuous red roses form a focal cluster, their velvety petals rich and deeply coloured, surrounded by glossy dark green leaves and delicate white filler flowers that could be freesia or similar, lending a light, fragrant note. Slim sprigs of feathery greenery peek through, adding texture and a sense of gentle movement. Two further red roses nestle lower toward the right-hand side, visually linked to the top group by slender arching strands of bright green ornamental grass that sweep diagonally across the chrysanthemums like a guiding line. The outer edge of the heart is carefully finished with a dark green satin ribbon, crisply folded and pinned, creating a refined frame that echoes the natural foliage tones. The tribute suggests enduring love and heartfelt sympathy, ideal for a final farewell at a Mottingham funeral, perhaps travelling from a family home near Mottingham Road or along the quiet streets by Eltham and New Eltham. It feels like a deeply personal expression, lovingly arranged to accompany cherished memories and to offer comfort to those gathered in remembrance.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
A tranquil, rounded bouquet of blue and cream roses is photographed on a pure white backdrop, the image capturing the calm, measured elegance that often accompanies a thoughtful sympathy gift in Mottingham. The deep blue roses, almost sapphire in their richness, are evenly dispersed throughout the arrangement, each bloom layered with velvety petals that seem to absorb light at their centres and shimmer slightly along the edges. Intertwined with them are creamy ivory roses, softer and more diffused in tone, their petals curling outward like gentle waves, offering a soothing visual balance. Delicate sprigs of white baby's breath are tucked in between the roses, their tiny star-like blossoms creating a misty, cloud-like effect that lightens the overall composition. Around the perimeter, slender stems of dark green foliage add structure and a subtle forest tone, reminiscent of the greenery found along the paths heading toward Grove Park or the quiet gardens near Mottingham station. The bouquet is bound neatly at the base, stems aligned and visible, emphasising the hand-tied craftsmanship. The lighting is bright yet soft, with no harsh shadows, allowing each texture-from the satin-smooth rose petals to the fine, feathery gypsophila-to be clearly seen. This arrangement feels like a composed, heartfelt gesture, suitable for offering condolences at a local service, sending comfort to a family home, or placing in a peaceful corner where memories are held close. It speaks gently of respect, enduring love, and the wish to bring a little beauty into moments of loss.
REMEMBRANCE
£80.00
This image shows a sumptuous, dome-shaped bouquet resting against a pure white background, the kind of luxurious design you might ask a Mottingham florist to create for a truly memorable moment. The eye is first drawn to the dramatic fuchsia Oriental lilies at the centre, their wide-open petals shaded from rich magenta at the throat to a lighter pink at the edges, sprinkled with darker freckles and framing bright golden stamens. Around these statement blooms, graceful white lilies curve outward, some fully opened in a star-like display, others still enclosed in slender green buds that promise future blossoms and a lingering lily fragrance. Interlaced with the lilies are soft blush pink roses and creamy ivory roses, their velvety petals unfolding in gentle spirals, some just beginning to open, others fully blossomed in lush, romantic layers. Fine sprays of white baby's breath thread through every gap, giving the bouquet a cloud-soft halo and creating a delicate contrast with the larger, more sculptural flowers. Small glimpses of fresh green foliage and stems anchor the arrangement, adding depth and a garden-fresh feel, as if the flowers had been gathered from a tended plot near Kimmeridge Road or close to Mottingham's green open spaces. The bright, even lighting highlights every curve, edge, and texture, from the satin sheen of the rose petals to the slightly ruffled edges of the lilies. This bouquet feels like a celebration of love and joy-a design perfectly suited to Mottingham weddings, milestone birthdays, or romantic surprises delivered to doorsteps across SE9, where heartfelt emotion is expressed through every carefully chosen stem.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
A lovingly composed sympathy tribute forming the letters "MUM" in bold, three-dimensional shapes, each face densely layered with small, snowy-white chrysanthemums to create a seamless, soft surface that reads like a blanket of white. The fresh blossoms give a gentle texture and a faint, comforting floral scent that complements the visual hush of the piece. Against a bright white background the letters stand quietly proud, their crisp silhouettes softened by three artful clusters of pastel roses: muted lavender blooms and pale pink buds, some fully unfurled to reveal velvety centres, others tightly cupped, offering contrast in scale and a graceful cadence across the design. One cluster is placed at the upper left of the first M, another nestles in the gentle curve of the U, and a third highlights the upper right arm of the final M - each accented with vivid green foliage and delicate fern sprigs that add cool tonal contrast and a feathered texture. A dark green structural frame, visible as a subtle outline beneath the flowers, ties the letters together and ensures the arrangement keeps a balanced, dignified shape for standing display. The composition conveys serenity and enduring love, a traditional funeral tribute crafted to comfort mourners and honour a mother's memory. As local florists servicing Mottingham, Chislehurst and Grove Park, we often recommend this calm, classic design for funeral services, wakes, or graveside dedications where quiet beauty and respectful presence are required.
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Large heart-shaped funeral tribute created from a dense bed of white chrysanthemums, each bloom placed so closely that they form a continuous, velvety carpet of petals across the entire heart. The surface looks soft to the touch, like freshly fallen snow, giving the arrangement a sense of stillness and purity that suits moments of farewell. Encircling the heart is a vivid emerald green satin ribbon, expertly pleated into a ruffled, scalloped border. The ribbon's gentle shine contrasts with the matte chrysanthemum heads, sharpening the outline and lending a refined, traditional finish. In the upper left curve sits a graceful accent spray: two open, creamy white roses, their layered petals unfolding in quiet elegance, are joined by smaller white flowers reminiscent of freesias or delicate buds, bringing variety and gentle fragrance. Around them, lush dark green leaves and light, feathery foliage trail slightly over the white base, breaking the uniformity just enough to give natural rhythm and movement. The heart lies against a pure white background, ensuring every detail - from the pleats of the ribbon to the curve of each rose petal - stands out clearly. This is the kind of thoughtful tribute a family in Mottingham might choose for a church service near the village centre or a simple graveside gathering by Mottingham Lane, expressing love, remembrance, and peace when words feel insufficient.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
This funeral flower tribute presents the word "GRANDMA" in large, padded letters that seem to rest softly on the display base, every surface completely blanketed in snowy white chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemum heads are tightly arranged, round and plump, forming a cushion of bloom that suggests comfort and tenderness. Around the edge of each letter, a fine lilac ribbon is carefully pleated and pinned, giving a neat, tailored border that contrasts delicately with the textured flower heads. The colour of the ribbon is gentle rather than bold, a pastel purple that feels calm, much like a quiet walk through Mottingham's tree-lined streets or a reflective moment in the green spaces near Elmstead Wood. At three key points across the tribute, compact posies introduce a soft burst of colour and life: bright pink gerberas with dark centres, smaller pink roses opening into layered whorls of petals, and glossy green foliage that adds movement and freshness. These miniature bouquets nestle into the white letters as if they were cherished memories tucked into a keepsake box, each one hinting at stories, smiles, and family gatherings with a much-loved grandmother. The lighting in the image is diffused and steady, with no harsh shadows, so the texture of every petal and the sheen of the ribbon are clearly defined. While visually serene, the arrangement carries emotional depth, ideal for a farewell service in a Mottingham church or crematorium, where local florists might deliver it with care on behalf of a family wanting a tribute that feels both traditional and deeply personal.
HONORED GRANDMA TRIBUTE
£330.00
Viewed from above on a plain white surface, this circular sympathy wreath presents a composed study in cream, pale yellow and rich green, handcrafted with careful technique by a local Mottingham florist. Approximately fifteen fully opened ivory roses, their petals layered in tight spirals, form the heart of the design, each one reflecting a soft, almost luminous ivory under gentle light. Interspersed among the roses are pale yellow lilies-some trumpet-shaped and fully open, others held in elegant bud form-bringing vertical rhythm and a subtle citrus-green freshness to the composition. The supporting foliage is dense and varied: delicate fern fronds fan softly to create a feathery rim, while broader, rounded eucalyptus-like sprigs introduce silvery-green highlights and modest scent. From a florist's perspective, the wreath is tightly packed and expertly wired so the eye moves evenly around the circle, the balance of blooms and leaves reinforcing the symbol of eternity. The fragrance is quiet-powdery rose notes warmed by the green brightness of lily and eucalyptus-meant to comfort rather than overwhelm. As a funeral or memorial tribute it conveys purity, peace and respectful remembrance. Mottingham Florist prepares similar wreaths for local services and deliveries across Mottingham, Eltham and nearby neighbourhoods, offering a thoughtful, understated gesture for families seeking a dignified floral farewell.
IN LOVING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
Set against a clean, luminous white background, this heartfelt funeral tribute forms the word "MUM" in large, upright floral letters, crafted with the precision and care of an experienced Mottingham florist. Each of the three characters is completely covered in tiny, closely packed blooms in shades of fuchsia, magenta, and deep purple, most likely spray chrysanthemums, with small lime-green centres that create a soft stippled effect when viewed from a distance. The surface looks richly textured and almost quilted, as if the flowers have been gently pressed together to form a cushioned bed of petals. Along the sides of every letter runs a pale pink ruffled ribbon, carefully pleated to give a soft, rippling edge that contrasts beautifully with the strong colour of the flowers. On the first "M", the top left curve carries a graceful cluster of open pink roses and tight rosebuds, resting on a bed of airy green ferns and foliage reminiscent of the greenery in nearby Mottingham parks and garden frontages. The central "U" holds a tender accent at its base: a neat arc of blush pink and cream roses mingled with white filler flowers and fresh leafy sprigs, creating a gentle focal point. The second "M" is finished with a similar rose and fern arrangement on its upper right shoulder, giving the word a pleasing symmetry. Calm yet expressive, this bespoke design is the kind of memorial piece chosen for funeral services and graveside tributes around Mottingham to express enduring love for a cherished mum.
LOVING MUM TRIBUTE
£160.00
This rectangular sympathy pillow reads like a soft sigh in white and green, composed for moments of farewell and quiet remembrance. Photographed on a stark white background with a subtle shadow beneath it, the piece presents a meticulously packed surface of tiny, immaculate white chrysanthemums whose clustered heads produce a serene, velvety plane of petals. The pillow's rounded corners and slightly raised, cushion-like profile make it feel both restful and carefully shaped by skilled hands. Encircling the whole design is a narrow band of light lime-green ribbon, fashioned into even pleats that lend a gentle freshness to the otherwise monochrome field and visually contain the tribute with a whisper of renewal. On the upper left, a small, artful cluster of accent flowers introduces soft contrast: white lisianthus, their multi-layered petals unfolding like quiet promises, sit beside rich purple lisianthus buds and blooms, the deeper hue evoking dignity and memory. Slender fern fronds and glossy green foliage nestle among the flowers, offering delicate texture and the faint, earth-sweet aroma of freshly cut greens. At the base of the accent a darker green leaf wrap neatly secures the stems, showing the careful finishing typical of an experienced funeral florist. The arrangement conveys reverence and solace, a sensitive choice for a memorial table, church service, or graveside laying, inviting those who see it to reflect and remember in peaceful silence.
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
Handled with the attentive eye of a local Mottingham florist, this circular wreath reads as a measured, tactile expression of condolence. The central body is formed from countless small white chrysanthemums, packed tightly to create a soft, almost velveteen cushion that suggests peace and purity. Just beneath those immaculate petals a band of rich purple mesh or fine netting is visible around the inner edge, offering a restrained pop of colour that lifts the design without overpowering it. On the upper-left quarter a fresh cluster centers on a single cream-coloured rose, its petals unfolding gently amid broad, variegated foliage and feathery fern fronds; tiny sprigs of lavender-hued statice are sprinkled through the greens, adding texture and a quiet echo of the deeper purple underlayer. To the right, two calla lilies arch gracefully across the wreath, their sculptural trumpets shifting from a saturated mauve or deep purple at the tips to a tender peach-pink and blush toward the base; their bright green stems curve naturally along the lower-right arc, visually connecting the main accents. A longer green stem from the left cluster sweeps across the bottom and is tucked toward the callas, a subtle sign of careful wiring and composition. This arrangement-suitable for a funeral, memorial table or chapel service-is exactly the kind of thoughtful tribute Mottingham Florist prepares for families around Mottingham, Eltham and Chislehurst, crafted to offer comfort, dignity and a gentle visual harmony.
PEACEFUL WREATH
£75.00
Presented on a stark white backdrop and photographed at eye level, this three-part funeral tribute spells out BRO in bold capital letters, each letter completely covered in abundant royal blue chrysanthemums. The massed blue florets create a soft, tactile surface with crisp contours; a slim white foam base traces the inner and outer edges, giving the letters clear definition and structural integrity. At the lower left of the B and the lower right of the R and O, small clusters of creamy ivory spray roses and miniature white filler flowers nestle among feathery fern fronds and broader glossy leaves, their pale warmth breaking the intensity of the blue with a comforting, luminous note. The roses emit a gentle, powdery scent that mixes with the fresh green fragrance of the foliage, while the chrysanthemums provide a quiet, plush visual weight. The composition reads as calm and reverent-an explicitly personalised expression of sympathy meant to honour a brother's memory at a service or graveside. Families in Mottingham, particularly those arranging tributes near Mottingham station or across Eltham and New Eltham, often choose this configuration for its legibility and serene colour palette. Mottingham Florist can replicate the same careful construction and local delivery for memorials, matching floral size, placement of accents, and the clean, dignified presentation captured in this image.
PERSONALISED BRO TRIBUTE
£165.00
A striking Celtic cross funeral arrangement lies diagonally across a crisp white background, as if carefully placed for a final, thoughtful photograph. The entire shape of the cross is clearly defined by layers of tightly packed white chrysanthemums, their small daisy-like faces forming a smooth, cushioned surface that suggests softness and care. Running through this white field, a band of lime green button chrysanthemums highlights the circular ring and outer lines of the arms, the little spherical blooms creating an intricate, almost woven look that echoes traditional Celtic knotwork. The contrast between the bright green and pure white makes the cross stand out with quiet dignity, while still feeling fresh and full of life. On the lower section of the vertical arm, three lush sprays of deep purple carnations are grouped with intention, each cluster slightly different in size so the eye moves gently down the piece. Their velvety petals and rich jewel tone add a note of tenderness and sorrow, like a final loving gesture laid at a graveside in Mottingham or nearby New Eltham. Fine stems of trailing foliage and graceful tendrils spill across the white chrysanthemums, bringing a touch of natural wildness to the ordered design. The lighting is clean and even, highlighting every petal and texture without harsh shadows, allowing the craftsmanship behind the tribute to shine. This floral Celtic cross feels both spiritual and rooted in nature, the sort of sympathy arrangement a local family might have delivered for a service at a Mottingham church or as a lasting memorial for someone with Irish or Scottish heritage.
WHITE CELTIC CROSS TRIBUTE
£170.00
A beautifully composed floral cross rests on a crisp white background, the photograph taken from a slightly raised viewpoint so you can sense both its shape and its generous fullness. The cross is carefully edged with a halo of tiny white spray chrysanthemums, each floret tucked closely together to form a soft, velvety border that feels almost like freshly fallen snow. Just beyond this white outline, a band of folded light green ribbon or foliage provides a clean, tailored frame, its gentle sheen adding a subtle elegance to the tribute. Within this border, the interior of the cross is a vivid tapestry of colour: large roses in rich hot pink and creamy pale yellow open fully, their layered petals evoking warmth, love, and remembrance. Between them sit bright lime-green button chrysanthemums, their rounded forms creating playful pockets of texture that enliven the design. Interwoven through these roses and green mums are smaller flowers in deep purple or violet, probably statice or lisianthus, which give the design a contemplative depth and an almost cathedral-like richness of tone. The lighting is bright and even, allowing every petal, leaf, and folded ribbon edge to be seen clearly, as if you were standing over the tribute in a quiet Mottingham chapel. Crafted with the same care a local family might expect for a memorial at St. Andrew's or a service near Mottingham Station, this floral cross feels like a gentle promise of peace and ongoing love, suitable for funeral, graveside, or remembrance gatherings across the area.
PRECIOUS MEMORY CROSS
£95.00
This pillow-shaped sympathy tribute is presented as if cradling memory itself: a neat rectangular form, slightly rounded at the corners, completely covered in hundreds of tiny white chrysanthemums that create a seamless, velvety field of petals. The chrysanthemums give a tactile impression of softness and purity under soft, diffused light, suggesting peace and eternal rest. At the top left, a composed cluster of deep magenta-fuchsia roses provides a warm, reverent focal point-their rich tones suggesting love and remembrance-while interspersed white freesias lend a delicate perfume and visual lift. Lush green foliage and slender fern fronds nestle around the accent blooms, offering contrast and a garden-like freshness that prevents the design from feeling flat. A light green satin ribbon, pleated and neatly finished, outlines the pillow and shows just beneath the white blooms, its satiny gleam adding a subtle ceremonial edge. As a Mottingham florist familiar with local funerals and wakes near Mottingham station and Scadbury Park, we craft arrangements to convey comfort and dignity; this cushion of flowers is intended to sit beside a coffin or at a graveside, its soft textures and quiet colours providing solace. The photograph's stark white background draws all attention to the floral craftsmanship: the density of the chrysanthemums, the layered roses, and the thoughtful placement of ribbon and foliage, each element selected to honour a life with restraint and tenderness.
DEEPLY CHERISHED CUSHION
£135.00
An elegant sympathy spray of white lilies and lisianthus stretches diagonally across a clean white background, composed with the same care a local Mottingham florist would give to a tribute for a long-loved neighbour. The arrangement is shaped in a flowing, elongated form, fuller at the upper left where stems and foliage gather, then tapering smoothly down to a pointed tip at the lower right, echoing a classic teardrop or casket spray. Dominating the design are several stately white Oriental lilies, some fully open with their silky petals unfurled and softly curling, others still in green-tipped buds that promise but do not yet reveal their fragrance. The centres of the open lilies show delicate yellow-green stamens that add a subtle warmth to the cool whites. Nestled between these larger blooms are sprays of lisianthus (Eustoma), their smaller white flowers edged and veined with faint lavender and pale purple tones, like the last light over the parks near Grove Park or across the greens of Mottingham playing fields. Numerous tightly closed lisianthus buds add rhythm, texture and a sense of quiet continuity. Beneath and around the flowers, a bed of mixed greenery provides both structure and softness: broad, dark leaves form a strong base, while slender, spiky fronds sweep outward to the right, giving the design a gentle sense of movement. Some leaves are carefully rolled and folded into sculptural features near the centre, hinting at contemporary floral styling. The overall mood is one of composed sorrow and gentle remembrance, suitable for a funeral, memorial, or graveside service anywhere in and around Mottingham.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
A graceful sympathy sheaf lies on a white background, its form tapering from a full, rounded cluster of blooms at the centre into a gentle diagonal sweep, like a flowing sigh of farewell. Dominating the composition are dramatic Stargazer lilies, their star-shaped petals glowing in rich fuchsia-pink, fading to white at the edges, each petal dusted with deep burgundy speckles; some lilies are open and radiant, while others remain in elongated buds tinged with green and pink. Nestled among them, vivid magenta gerbera daisies add a lively pop of colour, suggesting fond, joyful memories. In contrast, creamy white roses and soft, frilled white carnations provide calm, tender notes, their curled petals symbolising purity and quiet devotion. Tiny white daisies and delicate filler flowers weave between the larger blooms, softening every edge. A generous collar of foliage supports the spray: wide, dark green leaves create a polished backdrop, while airy ferns and fine, textural greenery break up the outline, giving the arrangement a natural, garden-like feel. Long, ribbon-like leaves cascade towards the bottom right corner, enhancing the elongated, cascading effect. At the top left, the stems are tightly bound, revealing the care of an experienced Mottingham florist who understands how important funeral flowers are when words are hard to find. The overall palette and flowing shape create a solemn yet hopeful mood, perfectly suited for a memorial service in Mottingham, a farewell at nearby Eltham Crematorium, or a home condolence delivery along Mottingham Road, offering comfort and a beautifully crafted tribute to a life well lived.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this open circular funeral wreath appears like a soft halo of flowers, carefully composed to offer comfort and quiet beauty. Prominent white Oriental lilies, their petals broad and silky, sit gracefully around the ring, each bloom displaying a delicate contrast of green pistils and warm golden stamens. Interspersed among them, bold deep-pink and fuchsia lilies bring a more dramatic tone, their star-shaped faces lightly freckled, reflecting the depth of emotion felt at a final farewell. Between these large blossoms, clusters of soft pink roses, many only half-open, suggest tenderness and unspoken words, while creamy white roses in full bloom provide a timeless, dignified presence that would feel at home at a Mottingham memorial service. White gerbera daisies punctuate the design, their dark centres anchoring the lighter colours and adding a quietly optimistic note, like a gentle smile amid sadness. Smaller white filler flowers, likely sprays of carnations or chrysanthemums, tuck into every space, giving the wreath a rich, cushioned texture. Surrounding and threading through the flowers, a mix of deep and mid-green foliage adds depth and natural movement, guiding the eye around the unbroken circle that symbolises eternal love and the ongoing cycle of life. The overall impression is peaceful and contemplative, the kind of hand-crafted tribute a local Mottingham florist might deliver with care to a family saying goodbye, whether at a small chapel, a local cemetery, or a simple gathering at home. It feels like a wreath designed to speak quietly when words are hard to find.
LOVING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
A poignant floral tribute in the shape of the word "SON" is shown against a clean, white background, allowing its colours and textures to tell a quiet story of love and loss. The three letters are constructed from a tightly woven bed of snowy white chrysanthemums, their rounded petals forming a velvety, uniform surface that feels soft and reassuring, like a blanket of peace. Neatly ruffled red satin ribbon traces each outline, embracing the contours of the "S," circling the open centre of the "O," and defining the strong frame of the "N," creating a striking contrast of white and crimson. Vivid red anthuriums, instantly recognisable by their glossy, heart-shaped faces and central spadices, provide emotional focal points: a generous cluster with dark, polished foliage accents the upper left of the "S," a single anthurium is cradled in the lower arc of the "O," and a larger spray, enriched with deep green leaves and feathery fern, decorates the upper right segment of the "N." Fine green strands and leaves sweep gently from one grouping to the next, connecting the letters in an elegant, organic line. The arrangement feels both structured and tender, like words spoken carefully at a farewell. Created in the style favoured by many Mottingham Florist clients for funerals and memorials in and around Mottingham, this tribute captures the essence of remembrance for a cherished son, offering comfort to family members gathering locally to say their goodbyes.
FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS SON TRIBUTE
£155.00
A serene circular wreath of fresh flowers appears to float against a crisp white backdrop, its design combining technical precision with a sense of gentle comfort. The structure is built on an abundant foundation of white Baby's Breath, each tiny bloom forming part of a dense, cloud-like ring that feels soft and airy, much like the morning haze that sometimes settles over the tree-lined streets of Mottingham. Scattered rhythmically through this delicate mist are larger Lisianthus flowers in full, ruffled bloom. Their petals are predominantly white, but each one is traced with a fine edge of purple-violet or soft lavender, creating a graceful, two-toned effect that draws the eye around the circle. Some blossoms open widely to reveal darker, shadowed centers, while others are still unfurling, their buds tinged with pale green, creamy ivory, and the faintest suggestion of lilac. These subtle variations lend texture, depth, and movement to the wreath, as though it is quietly breathing. The central opening is smooth and symmetrical, reinforcing the symbolism of continuity, eternity, and unbroken love that many families seek when arranging flowers for a funeral or memorial. Lit evenly from above, the details of every petal and sprig are clear, with no distractions in the background. The arrangement looks freshly made, as if a Mottingham florist has just finished crafting it for delivery to a nearby chapel or crematorium, offering a tender, dignified way to express condolences, share memories, and provide a visual focus of calm during a time of loss.
WARM EMBRACE WREATH
£70.00
A gracefully composed heart-shaped funeral tribute fills the frame, the design resting on a clear white background that accentuates every curve and contour. The heart itself is divided with precise symmetry down the middle, almost like two tender emotions held side by side. On the left, tightly gathered creamy white and pale yellow roses form a soft, glowing field of petals, each bloom opening in gentle spirals that speak of innocence, peace, and enduring love. On the right, a matching sweep of medium pink roses echoes the shape, their warm, rosy tones adding a sense of comfort, affection, and cherished remembrance. Woven throughout both sides, delicate stems of white baby's breath create a fine, lacy texture, filling the spaces between roses and tracing the outline of the heart with a cloud-like border. These tiny blossoms lighten the composition, giving it an almost weightless quality despite the richness of the roses. The arrangement feels ideal as a tribute for a funeral or memorial in Mottingham, perhaps resting beside the coffin in a local chapel or delivered to a family home near Mottingham Village after the service. You can imagine a calm, reflective atmosphere, similar to the stillness of a walk around nearby green spaces, with this floral heart offering a quiet, dignified message of love and farewell. The craftsmanship and care in the placement of each rose reveal the hand of a skilled local florist who understands how flowers can convey what words sometimes cannot.
INFINITY ROSE HEART
£105.00
A beautifully composed sympathy wreath in a perfect circle is photographed against a pure white background, allowing every detail of the flowers to stand out with quiet grace. The wreath is filled generously with snowy white Oriental lilies, their long, velvety petals opening outwards in star-like shapes, some gently curling at the tips, others still tightly furled in pale green buds that promise bloom. In the heart of each open lily, slender pistils and arching stamens tipped with warm, russet pollen add subtle contrast to the otherwise cool, peaceful palette. Woven between these prominent lilies are delicate Lisianthus blossoms, their softly ruffled petals washed in white with fine edges brushed in lilac and violet, echoing the gentle twilight tones often seen over Mottingham's tree-lined streets. Tiny budding flowers and possible mini rosebuds deepen the texture, giving the wreath a lush, layered appearance rather than a flat ring. Sprays of deep green foliage and thin, eucalyptus-like stems emerge from beneath the blooms, suggesting the careful hand of an experienced local florist who understands how to balance airiness with fullness. The composition feels calm and contemplative, like a quiet moment in Mottingham's green spaces, perhaps near Chapel Farm Road, where memories gather softly. Created as a funeral or memorial tribute, this white and purple wreath conveys a message of purity, everlasting love, and gentle farewell, a comforting presence at a service or wake for families across Mottingham and neighbouring areas.
ETERNAL AFFECTION WREATH
£80.00
A deeply personal floral tribute spelling out "DAD" stretches across a crisp white backdrop, its colours and textures glowing gently as if lit by soft daylight. Three separate block letters, "D", "A" and "D", sit neatly in a row, linked at the base by subtle dark green bars that keep the word aligned without distracting from the flowers. Each letter has been carefully shaped with a collar of rich green fern foliage and other leafy greens, their fronds curling around the edges like the borders of a well-kept Mottingham garden. The main body of the design is formed from tightly clustered white blooms-full chrysanthemums and broad-petalled gerbera daisies-that create a cushion of softness, suggesting peace, respect and quiet reflection. Threaded among this white canvas are bright yellow gerberas, smaller yellow spray roses and tiny daisy-like flowers, lending a lift of optimism, like a shaft of sun over the green spaces near Chislehurst and Grove Park. Deeper tones of purple lisianthus and deep pink or magenta spray roses are scattered throughout, adding pockets of colour that speak of love, memory and the individuality of the dad being honoured. Little accents of lavender flowers and lime-green button chrysanthemums give added dimension, so the letters feel full, textured and three-dimensional. Designed for display at a funeral, memorial service or graveside, this "DAD" tribute feels both traditional and warmly personal, the kind of carefully considered farewell a local Mottingham family might choose when they want flowers to say what words cannot.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
A refined sympathy spray of white flowers and layered greenery is arranged in a flowing, asymmetric design that stretches gently from left to right across a clean white background. The focal point is a cluster of majestic white lilies, some fully open with velvety petals curved back in a gesture of gentle reverence, others still held in smooth green buds promising gradual unfurling. Nestled among the lilies are soft white roses, ivory-toned carnations, and crisp white gerbera-style blooms with delicate cream or pale yellow centres, each flower placed to form a harmonious rhythm of shapes and textures. Tiny white filler blossoms thread through the arrangement like a whisper, adding lightness and depth. Beneath and around the blooms, a tapestry of foliage provides both structure and movement: shining dark green leaves, airy fern fronds, and rounded eucalyptus leaves with a soft, blue-green cast create a layered, almost woodland feel. From the lower right edge, long, narrow palm fronds sweep outward in a fan, giving the piece its distinctive elongated profile and a sense of gentle forward motion, as if guiding the eye in a quiet farewell. The overall mood is one of calm strength and tender remembrance, the kind of floral tribute that would feel at home in a Mottingham church, crematorium, or at a graveside gathering. The cool palette of whites and greens suggests purity, peace, and a reflective pause, like the stillness you find walking through nearby parks on a soft, grey afternoon.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
Radiating heartfelt care and Mottingham charm, this exquisite heart-shaped floral arrangement combines the timeless beauty of roses with the lightness of baby's breath for an uplifting tribute. A collection of soft pink and creamy ivory roses-gathered in varying stages of bloom-creates a textured canvas, each velvet petal edged with warm light. These roses, arrayed with gentle rhythm, alternate in hue: romantic blushes side by side with subtle cream and the palest yellow, forming a visual harmony that's both classic and comforting. Interwoven throughout are dainty sprays of baby's breath, whose airy white clusters bring an ethereal, almost celestial touch-softening edges and filling spaces with a gentle brilliance. Presented against a pure white background, every detail stands out, as if bathed in peaceful Mottingham morning light. This arrangement, carefully handcrafted by local florists, echoes the sense of neighborhood community-offering peace, reverence, and loving memory. Ideal for honoring a beloved family member or close friend at a funeral or memorial, it also suits occasions of deep affection, making it perfect for expressing enduring love or gentle consolation. The arrangement speaks softly yet powerfully, embodying both grace and the legacy of shared memories in Mottingham.
DEAREST ONE HEART
£130.00
A traditional sympathy pillow formed from hundreds of pristine white chrysanthemums, arranged so closely that the surface reads as a singular, cushion-like plane of soft petals. A narrow, pleated border of pale lime-green satin ribbon encircles the piece, giving it a finished, almost textile-like edge that catches the light with a subtle sheen. At the upper left, a composed cluster draws the eye: two open white Oriental lilies with exposed yellow stamens stand beside an elegant unopened bud, their sculptural forms lending height and grace. Dark burgundy spray carnations sit among them, their rich tone and textured blooms offering a thoughtful contrast to the white field. Lush green foliage-ferns and broad leaves-creates a layered backdrop and adds a living, supportive frame. From that cluster a slim, graceful loop of bright green bear grass or decorative wire arcs gently toward the right, culminating in a single deep red rosebud resting near the pillow's upper right corner, the rose's velvety petals only beginning to loosen. The overall effect is one of calm dignity: the white chrysanthemums suggest peace, the deep red elements signify enduring love, and the green trim brings a subtle natural warmth. The lighting in the photograph is soft and even, highlighting textures and the craftsmanship of the design. Prepared by Mottingham Florist for families arranging memorials in Mottingham, New Eltham and Grove Park, this cushion-shaped tribute is intended for funeral services or wakes where a classical, comforting floral expression is wanted.
EXPRESSION OF LOVE CUSHION
£135.00
An elegant memorial arrangement spells DAD in three freestanding block letters, each lovingly hand-crafted from a dense bed of immaculate white chrysanthemums that give a uniform, pillow-soft texture to the shapes. The perimeter of every letter is neatly defined with rich, ruffled dark green ribbon - a contrast that sharpens the silhouette while keeping the overall effect calm and dignified. On the upper left curve of the first D a radiant cluster of sunny yellow roses (around three or four open blooms) nestles among delicate white filler blooms and fresh green foliage, with two long, slender green stems sweeping toward the centre. The central A is softened by a tasteful cluster on its lower stem featuring two deep purple calla lilies whose sculpted, trumpet shapes add a measured gravitas to the tribute, complemented by small white sprays and glossy leaves. The final D mirrors the first with another cheerful yellow-rose cluster on its outer curve, creating visual harmony. Slim dark green metal bars are visible behind the letters, evidence of a secure florist's frame that keeps the trio unified for display at a service. The clean white backdrop and soft studio light emphasise colour and texture while suggesting a gentle, clean fragrance. As designed by Mottingham Florist for services in Mottingham, Sidcup and across Bromley, this arrangement is intended to comfort and honour, and is available for local delivery or professional church placement.
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
Presented on a clean white field, this handcrafted sympathy tribute forms the word DAD in bold, capital letters, each character built from a dense, cushiony mass of pure white chrysanthemums. The tiny, ruffled blooms are so closely set they create a seamless, cloud-like surface that suggests peace and solemnity. Around the perimeter of each letter a pleated emerald-green ribbon is carefully applied, following both outer and inner edges to create a crisp, formal outline; the green trim brings cool contrast and a ceremonial feel. A low-profile dark green or slate-grey horizontal support runs behind the trio of letters, indicating how the piece will sit on a stand or easel for a funeral or memorial. Three accent clusters add personal colour: the leftmost D is softened by a spray of deep magenta roses and small white freesia tucked into its upper-left curve; the A has its bouquet resting gently in the lower V; the rightmost D is mirrored with a matching cluster on the upper right. The roses introduce a velvet-fragrant warmth against the chrysanthemum's subtle, powdery scent, while dark green foliage grounds the design. As a Mottingham Florist composition suitable for services around Mottingham Parade, Mottingham Station or local crematoria, this arrangement conveys heartfelt remembrance and careful craftsmanship - a measured, loving tribute designed to be read from the front and admired for its balance and texture.
GRACIOUS DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
A carefully composed MUM tribute in large connected block letters, presented on a stark white background so every detail reads clearly. The bulk of each letter is formed from a dense carpet of white chrysanthemums, their small, layered petals creating a plush, consistent surface that speaks of purity and quiet remembrance. Each letter is softly edged with a ruffled pale-pink ribbon that adds an almost maternal tenderness to the hard silhouette, while a subtle dark green support frame peeks out between the characters to hold the standing piece upright. Three vivid clusters punctuate the arrangement: a compact spray of fuchsia-pink roses, glossy fern-like foliage and coral hypericum berries adorn the top left of the first M; the base curve of the U is similarly decorated, guiding the eye down into the centre; and the top right of the final M carries the third matching posy for visual harmony. The tactile contrast between the crisp mums, velvety roses and shiny berries is notable, and there is a restrained floral scent that would sit politely in a church or funeral chapel. As a Mottingham florist familiar with local services near Mottingham station and Eltham, I often recommend this style for memorials and wakes because it reads clearly from a distance and offers comfort through classic colours and thoughtful detailing. The overall effect is one of dignified affection: white for remembrance, pink for love, arranged with steady, respectful craft.
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
This elegant funeral tribute spells "DAD" in bold, block letters, each letter lovingly packed with hundreds of small, white chrysanthemum blooms that create a plush, tranquil surface under soft studio light. The chrysanthemum's delicate texture suggests calm and devotion, while a vibrant emerald-green ribbed ribbon outlines each letter, the colour offering a clean contrast to the white petals and precise definition from every viewing angle. Atop the first 'D' a striking spray of deep red roses sits alongside petite white freesia and glossy green foliage, the roses' warm, velvety scent counterpointing the freesia's fresh, citrus-tinged perfume. The central 'A' carries a matching arrangement positioned near the lower left stem, its foliage forming a gentle upward curve that gives movement to the otherwise stately letters. The right-hand 'D' repeats the motif, mirroring the far left cluster to form a harmonious triptych. Subtle dark green metal bars run behind the letters, hidden enough to preserve the floral illusion yet practical enough to support the composition for chapel aisles or graveside placement. The visual language here is traditional and heartfelt: white chrysanthemums for truth and remembrance paired with red roses for abiding love. Crafted with the sensitivity of an experienced local florist, this tribute is the kind of bespoke sympathy piece we prepare at Mottingham Florist (mottinghamflorist.co.uk) for families arranging services in Mottingham, Sidcup or nearby Eltham, where attention to detail and gentle floral storytelling matter most.
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
A refined funeral flower basket sits centered against a clean white backdrop, presented in an off-white woven container with a strong, curved handle that rises like a protective arch above the blooms. Inside, the flowers are arranged in a rounded, mounded shape, creating a sense of fullness and gentle embrace. A large, creamy white rose anchors the composition, its layered petals opening in a soft spiral that naturally draws the gaze. Flanking it are rich purple calla lilies, their smooth, flute-like forms leaning slightly forward as though in a quiet bow of respect. Around them, delicate clematis blossoms in pale lilac and lavender tones stretch their star-shaped petals, adding a light, airy touch that softens the deeper colours. Here and there, clusters of bright yellow, freesia-style or alstroemeria-like flowers introduce a mild brightness, a reminder of light even in times of loss. A single vivid magenta gerbera daisy emerges on the right side, its fine, radiating petals offering a heartfelt note of individuality, much like the unique stories remembered at local Mottingham funerals and services held near the village centre or close to Mottingham station. Abundant green foliage, glossy and fresh, surrounds and supports every bloom, from broad, rounded leaves to more delicate stems that add movement and depth. The basket casts a soft, natural shadow on the white surface, grounding the design and enhancing the sense of realism. Overall, this arrangement feels calm, respectful, and tender, a thoughtful floral gesture for expressing sympathy, offering condolences, or decorating a memorial table with understated beauty.
