Set against a spotless white backdrop, this substantial floral cross appears as a serene centrepiece, the kind of tribute you might see carried into a church or crematorium service near Hornsey station. The cross is entirely constructed from clusters of white spray chrysanthemums, each flower head nestled so closely that they create a dense, pillowy surface with a uniform, velvety texture. Their crisp white petals symbolise purity and peace, providing a tranquil foundation. Framing this field of white is a border of royal blue satin ribbon, carefully gathered and lightly ruched around every edge. The ribbon's rich colour and subtle sheen form a strong outline, bringing definition to the cross shape and lending an air of quiet formality. At the central junction where the vertical and horizontal arms intersect, a generous cluster of royal blue flowers creates a vivid focal point. Full, frilled blue carnations, perhaps enhanced with similar-toned blooms like dyed chrysanthemums, are interspersed with more slender, spiked blue flowers that resemble delphiniums or orchids, rising slightly above the base for height and elegance. Dark green fern fronds and smooth foliage weave through the blue blooms, adding depth, contrast, and a hint of woodland fragrance. Along the length of the vertical arm, the word "DAD" is carefully formed from the same satin ribbon, each letter shaped with loops and folds and gently laid on top of the white chrysanthemum base so it reads clearly from a distance. This detail transforms the arrangement into a very personal farewell for a father, perhaps chosen by a family from the roads around Hornsey Vale or Turnpike Lane. Light falls evenly across the piece, casting a soft shadow that emphasises its three-dimensional quality. The overall design feels reverent, composed, and heartfelt, a classic sympathy tribute created with skill and compassion for a final goodbye.

A large Christian cross made entirely of fresh flowers is displayed on a bright white background, its form simple yet deeply moving, like something prepared for a family service in one of Hornsey's local churches. The main body of the cross is built from tightly massed white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom carefully placed so that together they form a plush, continuous surface with almost no gaps, giving a sense of gentle softness and quiet strength. Around the entire outline runs a border of royal blue satin ribbon, folded and ruffled to create a textured edge that frames the white flowers with a dignified band of colour. At the centre, where the arms of the cross meet, a bold spray of royal blue flowers commands attention: ruffled blue carnations are grouped closely with finer, more graceful blooms that look like blue delphiniums or orchids, their slender stems adding lift and movement. Dark green fern fronds and leaves cradle the blue flowers, providing a natural contrast that softens the strong colour combination. Down the vertical arm, the word "DAD" is written using the same blue satin ribbon, each letter shaped by precise loops and curves and laid over the white chrysanthemum base so it stands out clearly but remains harmonious with the overall design. This personal inscription suggests a tribute carefully chosen by children or grandchildren to honour a beloved father or grandfather from the Hornsey community. Subtle lighting and a faint shadow beneath the cross give it dimension without distraction. The finished piece radiates respect, remembrance, and faith, making it a fitting floral cross for a funeral, memorial service, or graveside farewell.

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