SPRAYS/SHEAVES
A sophisticated sympathy spray stretches diagonally across a white backdrop, its elongated, tapering form beautifully suited to a casket or display stand at a quiet Mottingham farewell. The eye is first drawn to the rich pool of dark red flowers at the centre: velvety roses at various stages of opening, bold gerbera daisies with dusky centres, and soft, ruffled carnations that fill every gap with warmth. Interwoven between the red blossoms, clusters of lime-green button chrysanthemums glow like tiny lanterns, adding a contemporary twist that keeps the arrangement fresh and uplifting. Delicate touches of small white filler flowers, perhaps daisies or gypsophila, peek through the stronger colours, providing subtle highlights and a sense of gentle movement. Around this core, a generous frame of deep green foliage extends outward, with glossy leaves, textural ferns, and layered greenery creating depth and structure. On the lower right, long, blade-like leaves are fanned gracefully, guiding the gaze along the spray's crescent-like arc. At the upper left, taller stems stand proudly, bound together with a single wrapped leaf that lends a modern, architectural touch. Crafted with the quiet care you'd expect from a local Mottingham florist, the design balances strength and tenderness, making it ideal for a memorial service, chapel tribute, or crematorium ceremony in and around Mottingham. The mix of colours and textures suggests cherished memories, shared stories, and a heartfelt final gesture of respect and love.

£200.00
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 substantial red funeral spray is arranged in a sweeping, crescent-like form, starting broad and full on the upper left and narrowing to a gentle, tapering tip on the lower right, all set crisply against a white background. At its heart are numerous deep red roses, some just beginning to unfurl and others fully open, their velvety petals forming rich, layered cups that suggest devotion, respect, and lasting love. Nestled among them are clusters of ruffled red carnations and spray carnations, their finely fringed petals adding softness and complexity to the surface of the design, like quiet echoes of the roses' more defined shapes. A bed of dark, glossy foliage holds the flowers securely, with broad leaves providing weight and structure, while muted, silvery-green eucalyptus circles between the blooms, cooling the palette and adding a gentle, herbal freshness. From the lower edge and along the right-hand side, lighter green trails of foliage extend outward in relaxed arcs, giving the spray a sense of natural flow, as if the flowers were gently cascading in still air. The composition feels serene and contemplative, well suited to a final farewell in one of Mottingham's small churches or a simple service for a loved one at the local crematorium. Created with the quiet craftsmanship of a Mottingham florist who understands how families here like to honour their own, this tribute would lie beautifully on a casket or be placed as a focal display at a funeral or memorial gathering.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
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
Against a crisp white backdrop, a sophisticated teardrop funeral spray is carefully composed to evoke both tenderness and respect, the kind of tribute often chosen by families in Mottingham saying a final goodbye. The arrangement begins with a rounded, full top and gently sweeps down to a fine point, echoing the natural curve of a falling tear. Throughout this shape, soft pink roses dominate, their petals unfurling from tight buds to fully open blooms in tones from pale shell pink to richer rose. Each blossom feels purposefully placed, forming gentle clusters that draw the eye along the length of the design. Interlaced with the roses, fluffy, snow-white carnations or spray carnations add volume and texture, their frilled edges catching the light and creating a soft, cloud-like effect. The flowers are anchored in a generous foundation of greenery: glossy dark green leaves, likely salal, form a strong, verdant frame, while discs of rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus add a muted, calming contrast and suggest a clean, fresh scent. At the narrower end of the spray, fine strands of dark ruscus foliage trail and cascade, giving a sense of movement, as though the tribute were gently flowing. The balanced blend of colours-muted pinks, clear whites, and layered greens-creates an atmosphere of quiet grace, suitable for resting atop a casket or beside the altar in a Mottingham chapel or funeral home. This floral piece speaks silently of remembrance, comfort, and the enduring bonds of love shared within the local community.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
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
This striking diagonal spray pays heartfelt homage through its thoughtful palette and artistry, reminiscent of peaceful walks along Mottingham's leafy lanes. The centrepiece features immaculate white oriental lilies, some just beginning to open, others fully blossomed with their golden stamens on display, radiating calm and renewal. Interspersed among these are rich pink roses whose varied stages-from closed bud to open bloom-underscore the cycle of memory and hope. Supporting blooms include snowy white carnations, their gentle ruffles lending softness, and playful lime-green santini chrysanthemums, which add an almost tactile, mossy freshness unique to this arrangement. Glossy, broad green leaves are folded to create dynamic structure, while slender, palm-like fronds and sprays of lighter foliage cascade down, echoing the gentle drape of branches in Chinbrook Meadows. Dappled natural light caresses the bouquet, highlighting the hypericum berries' deep red shine amidst the verdure. Designed by a Mottingham florist attuned to the rhythm of the local community, this spray offers solace and grace-a fitting farewell beside St. Edward's Church or as a gesture of sympathy delivered across SE9. The expertly balanced composition and gentle perfume evoke serenity, allowing loved ones to express emotions words cannot capture.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
A dignified sympathy flower spray is shown laid out against a crisp white backdrop, highlighting its graceful, elongated profile. The design starts broad and gently mounded on the left, then tapers into a delicate, trailing point on the right, evoking a feeling of quiet movement, like a final procession of blooms. Deep red roses, their petals richly layered and only just beginning to unfurl, are placed throughout the heart of the arrangement, symbolising profound love, devotion, and sorrow. Interwoven with them are numerous white carnations, each blossom full and softly ruffled, creating a cloud-like texture that contrasts beautifully with the intensity of the roses and suggests peace and remembrance. Supporting this classic pairing, the foliage forms a generous, verdant framework: glossy, dark green leaves shape the base, while softer, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves arc through the flowers, adding both visual depth and a cool, calming tone. From the right-hand edge, slender stems of light green, feathery greenery trail outward, adding a natural, almost windswept elegance that keeps the tribute from feeling rigid. The entire spray lies flat, designed to rest with ease on a coffin, memorial table, or graveside in Mottingham's churches, chapels, or woodland burial grounds. The composition feels formal yet warm, the kind of hand-crafted piece often requested for services around Mottingham, Elmstead Lane, or near the green spaces leading towards Eltham. It offers a gentle, heartfelt way to say goodbye, carrying a message of respect and comfort to family and friends as they gather to remember a loved one's life and shared moments.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A long, sculpted sympathy spray of red roses and berries is displayed on a clean white surface, captured as though resting on a memorial table in a Mottingham chapel. The design runs diagonally across the frame, beginning with a tightly bound cluster of stems at the upper left, wrapped smartly in a wide strip of folded green leaf that looks both natural and formal. From this gathered point, the flowers fan out and flow towards the lower right, creating a teardrop-like shape that feels both gentle and purposeful. The central focus is a rich succession of deep red roses, their velvety petals layered and soft, some still cupped in bud form, others beginning to open into full, rounded blooms. Nestled between them, small pinkish-red Hypericum berries spill in loose clusters, their smooth, bead-like surfaces catching the light and breaking up the intensity of the darker reds. Supporting the flowers, an abundance of lush, dark green foliage-broad, glossy leaves reminiscent of Ruscus or Salal-forms a deep, verdant bed. From within this foliage, slender palm fronds and finer sprays of airy greenery stretch outward, especially towards the lower right edge, suggesting movement, grace, and continuity. The overall palette of rich reds and deep greens is classic and respectfully solemn, making this piece an ideal tribute for funerals or memorials in and around Mottingham, from local parish churches to services held near Elmstead or New Eltham. Every element feels thoughtfully placed, conveying enduring love, gratitude, and quiet strength for a final goodbye.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
A luxurious white funeral floral arrangement stretches diagonally across a clean white backdrop, rising in a full, mounded cluster at the upper left before gradually narrowing into a graceful teardrop at the lower right. The composition is dominated by white and soft cream roses, each bloom at a different stage of opening: some are small, tightly curled buds, others are half-open with promise, and many are wide and generous, revealing layer upon layer of smooth, velvety petals that catch the light in gentle highlights and shadows. Nestled between the roses, smaller white carnations add a delicate, frilly texture, their ruffled edges lending a softness that feels almost like gathered lace. The flowers rest on a bed of varied greenery, including broad, silvery eucalyptus leaves that introduce a serene, cool-toned green, and darker, glossy ruscus foliage that extends outward and then cascades down the tapered tip, reinforcing the spray's flowing form. Every element is carefully placed, suggesting the steady hands and quiet focus of a florist used to creating tributes for sombre gatherings in Mottingham churches and crematorium chapels nearby. The arrangement's all-white palette, contrasted by deep green foliage, evokes calm, purity, and respect, perfectly suited to sit beside a casket or at a memorial table as friends and family gather from around Mottingham, Grove Park, and Eltham to say goodbye. Viewed as a whole, it feels like a serene river of petals and leaves, an understated yet heartfelt expression of sympathy that offers a moment of stillness amid the emotions of a funeral service.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this elongated sympathy spray forms a gentle crescent that appears to cradle the memory of a loved one. At its heart, numerous soft pink roses are closely nestled together, their velvety petals spiralling inward in shades of blush, dusty rose, and pale shell pink. Some blooms are fully open, revealing their intricate layers, while others remain partially closed, suggesting the continuity of affection even in parting. Between the roses, smaller light peach-pink carnations add a delicate, ruffled contrast, their clustered heads giving the arrangement a plush, cushion-like fullness. Surrounding this pastel centre, dark, polished foliage in deep green tones anchors the design. Broad leaves, possibly salal or similar hardy greenery, create a solid frame, while narrower, more tapering leaves stretch out at the lower right, helping to form the elegant teardrop outline. Light catches quietly on the glossy greens, emphasising the depth and dimension of the spray without overwhelming the softness of the flowers. The overall mood is serene and reflective, ideal for a funeral or memorial service in Mottingham, perhaps resting on a casket or displayed near the front of a small church off Court Road or close to Elmstead Woods. The design feels like a compassionate gesture from an experienced local florist, created to offer comfort, express sympathy, and honour a cherished life with gentle colour, graceful lines, and the timeless symbolism of pink roses and carnations.

£160.00
PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
A luxurious red funeral spray stretches elegantly across a white studio background, its shape gently tapering like a teardrop to suggest a graceful, forward-facing tribute. At the centre, deep red roses form the emotional core, their velvety petals layered and full, some just opening while others are in complete bloom, each one echoing devotion and remembrance. Around them, rich red carnations create a soft, cushion-like texture, their many ruffled petals catching subtle shadows, while bold red gerbera daisies, with their wide, open faces and darker eyes, bring a more contemporary, expressive note to the design. Fine sprays of tiny white flowers, reminiscent of baby's breath or minuscule chrysanthemums, are scattered between the red blooms, adding gentle sparkles of light and air. Over the upper portion, a wide red satin ribbon is arranged in a multi-loop bow, its glossy surface reflecting the light and its trailing streamers weaving through the flowers like a tender message. The entire arrangement is framed by an abundance of green foliage: long, arching palm leaves radiate out to define the outline, while shorter, denser greenery such as salal and ruscus leaves fill the interior, creating a deep green stage for the crimson tones. Occasional fern-like fronds add a finer, lacy touch that softens the edges. The composition feels solemn yet warm, the kind of considered design a Mottingham family might choose for a service at a local chapel or crematorium, or for delivery to a resting place near the green spaces that surround the area, offering a dignified, heartfelt farewell.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART CASKET SPRAY
£120.00
SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this elongated funeral spray appears almost to float, its colours and textures gathered with the sensitivity of an experienced Mottingham florist who understands how flowers can speak when words are hard to find. At the centre, rich crimson Oriental lilies open wide, their star-shaped petals and dark, speckled throats commanding attention and offering a sense of courage and honour. Around them, clusters of creamy ivory and pale blush roses nestle closely, petals layered like folded silk, some tightly budded as if holding unspoken memories, others open and receptive, suggesting a life fully lived. Ruffled light pink carnations drift through the design, introducing a soft, comforting fullness, while small white chrysanthemum-style blooms and tiny daisy-like flowers scatter gently like quiet thoughts. Threads of lavender and gentle purple filler flowers, possibly veronica or statice, run between the larger blooms, adding cool, soothing tones and fine detail. Occasional spiky blue thistle heads bring a subtle, wild texture, reminiscent of the more natural corners of Mottingham and the surrounding parks. All of this is supported by abundant greenery: glossy, deep green leaves, smaller sprays of lighter foliage, and feathery, fern-like fronds that extend and soften the outline at each end. The arrangement feels composed yet organic, as though shaped by both hand and heart, ideal for resting atop a coffin during a service at a local chapel, crematorium, or church. It conveys gentle consolation and deep respect, offering a floral embrace to grieving families across Mottingham and neighbouring communities.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Against a clean white backdrop, an elegant diagonal funeral spray stretches from the upper left corner toward the lower right, like a gentle wave of colour and foliage prepared for a quiet service in Mottingham. The eye is drawn first to the gerbera daisies, some a delicate shell pink, others a vivid fuchsia or deep magenta, their open faces providing strong focal points among the softer flowers. Interwoven with them are graceful pink roses, each bloom carefully opened to show tightly layered petals, suggesting love, gratitude, and respect. Around these main flowers, ruffled white blossoms-small carnations or miniature chrysanthemums-introduce a soft, cushion-like texture, catching the light with their crisp whiteness. Tiny white daisy-like flowers with golden centres weave in and out like a scattering of wildflowers from a walk through nearby Mottingham Woods, adding an airy, almost whimsical touch. Bright red hypericum berries sit in neat clusters, offering little bursts of colour and a hint of natural woodland fruit. The whole composition rests on a rich bed of greenery: glossy, broad dark green leaves form a strong base, while feathery fern fronds and silvery eucalyptus sprigs provide contrast in both texture and tone. Long, narrow palm leaves stream from the lower right, accentuating the sense of movement and making the arrangement feel as though it is gently flowing downward. At the upper left, a tidy bundle of exposed stems reveals the hand-tied nature of the tribute and the care taken by the florist. This spray feels deeply consoling, ideal for a farewell gathering at a local Mottingham church or crematorium, expressing sympathy with grace, colour, and quiet dignity.
