SPRAYS/SHEAVES
Set against a clean white backdrop, this funeral spray reveals a beautifully controlled, elongated teardrop shape, ideal for resting along a casket or as a standing tribute. The composition begins with a generous central cluster of deep red flowers: velvety roses, vivid gerbera daisies with darker centres, and gently layered carnations, each bloom adding depth and warmth to the heart of the design. Some of the roses are fully open, showcasing their intricate petals, while others remain in bud, capturing the sense of lives at different stages and memories both recent and long-held. Threaded throughout are bright lime green chrysanthemum pompons, their compact, ball-shaped heads bringing a lively, modern contrast reminiscent of new foliage along the paths of Birchmere Park in Thamesmead. Tiny white filler flowers, perhaps gypsophila or small daisies, are scattered like light brushstrokes, softening the strong reds and greens with a delicate, cloud-like texture. Around this central interplay of colour, lush greenery forms a rich, textural frame. Broad, glossy dark leaves ground the piece, while feathery fern fronds and other foliage extend gently outward, giving the spray a natural, slightly flowing edge. On the lower right, several long, slender leaves are fanned out purposefully, echoing the arrangement's gentle curve. At the upper left, a vertical bundle of straight green stems or leaves rises with subtle strength, anchored by one wide leaf wrapped neatly around the base for a contemporary, structured touch. This thoughtfully composed sympathy spray feels calm and dignified, an appropriate floral tribute for funerals or memorial gatherings across Thamesmead, from local churches to quiet crematorium chapels.

FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £200
£200.00
An elegantly elongated sympathy arrangement in crisp white and rich green lies across a clean white background, shaped in a diagonal that narrows gracefully, as if pointing towards a final, loving farewell. At the heart of the spray, several white oriental lilies open to full bloom, their wide, trumpet-shaped petals curved and slightly overlapping, with pale yellow-green stamens standing gently at the centre. Nearby, other lilies are still in bud, tapered and pale, adding height and a sense of anticipation, like memories slowly unfolding. Woven through this main cluster are lisianthus stems: their blossoms smaller and more rounded, in creamy white with soft lavender or purple tracing the petal edges, giving a subtle, cloud-like softness. Closed lisianthus buds punctuate the design, offering texture and miniature points of interest along the line of the spray. The floral display rests on an intricate bed of greenery. Deep, glossy leaves provide a solid base, layered to form a smooth, dark green platform that makes the white flowers stand out. From underneath and to one side, long, slender fronds stretch outwards and downwards, creating the impression of movement, much like the breeze that runs across the paths and waterways of Thamesmead. Some of the foliage is skillfully rolled and folded, adding structured loops and angles that bring a touch of contemporary style to a timeless funeral tribute. This arrangement would sit with poise on a casket, near a book of condolence, or beside a photo display, resonating with families seeking a calm, dignified expression of remembrance and sympathy for services held in local chapels and community spaces.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
A large, elegant casket spray in rich red and green tones is set against a pure white background, allowing every petal and leaf to be clearly seen. The arrangement sweeps from a generous cluster of blooms at the upper left into a slender, trailing point at the lower right, echoing the shape of a falling teardrop or a gentle cascade. At its heart are velvety dark red roses, the kind a seasoned Thamesmead florist might select for a truly meaningful tribute. Each rose is fully open, revealing layered petals that curl back in soft spirals, creating a sense of depth and quiet opulence. Nestled between them are numerous red carnations, some grouped as sprays and others standing individually with larger, ruffled heads. Their fringed, densely packed petals provide texture and a slightly feathery feel that contrasts beautifully with the smooth roses. The colour palette is unapologetically red, ranging from deep wine to brighter crimson, signalling both devotion and remembrance. A substantial bed of foliage supports and frames the blooms. Broad, dark green leaves outline the teardrop shape and lend structure, while round, silvery eucalyptus leaves are tucked throughout the spray, cooling the composition with their soft, grey-green tones. Along the edges and at the tapering end, lighter green foliage trails outward, adding a sense of natural movement, like soft greenery stirred by the breeze along the Thames. The overall arrangement feels both formal and tender, the kind of funeral spray chosen to convey strong yet quiet emotions. It would be at home on a casket top or near the altar at a memorial in Thamesmead, offering a graceful, comforting presence for friends and family saying their final goodbyes.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
This elegant sympathy spray, photographed on a bright white background, stretches from top left to bottom right in a flowing diagonal that suggests a gentle cascade of colour and memory. The focal blooms are magnificent Stargazer lilies, their wide, star-shaped petals shaded in deep fuchsia-pink with clean white edges and fine burgundy speckles radiating from the centre, giving each flower a sense of depth and drama. Some lilies stand fully open, while others remain as tall, smooth buds tinged with green and blush, promising future blossoms. Around these, magenta gerbera daisies introduce lively, modern notes of colour, their rounded heads and layered petals offering a bold contrast. Creamy white roses, in various stages from tight bud to partially open bloom, bring a sense of purity and respect, their smooth spirals balancing the more textured flowers nearby. Soft, ruffled white carnations are tucked in between, adding fullness and a gentle, comforting softness. Threaded throughout, tiny white daisy-like filler flowers lend a delicate, airy quality. The flowers are embraced by lush greenery: broad, dark green leaves form a secure base, feathery fern fronds fan outward for texture, and long, blade-like leaves sweep down towards the lower right, emphasising the spray's tapered, elongated shape. The bound stems at the top left reveal expert hand-tying, characteristic of a local Thamesmead florist preparing a thoughtful farewell piece for funerals and memorials across the area, from lakeside paths to nearby churches. With its marriage of vibrant pinks, serene whites, and rich greens, this arrangement evokes both sorrow and gratitude, offering a beautiful, dignified way to express condolences and honour a cherished life.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
This image shows an elegant sympathy spray arranged in a long teardrop shape, set cleanly against a white background so every detail is easy to imagine. The arrangement is fuller at the upper left, then gradually narrows toward the lower right, creating a gentle, flowing silhouette often chosen for casket flowers or to stand beside a loved one's resting place. At the heart of the design are numerous soft pink roses, some just beginning to open, others fully blooming to reveal their layered, velvety petals in hues from delicate blush to warmer rose pink. Between these roses cluster white carnations, their softly frilled petals adding volume and an airy, cloud-like texture. All of the flowers are supported by abundant greenery: a base of glossy, dark green leaves gives the piece structure and depth, while round, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves thread through the arrangement, softening the palette and adding a hint of quiet movement. From the tapering end, slender tendrils of rich green foliage trail gracefully, emphasising the natural lines of the design. The overall impression is one of peace and gentle dignity, as if prepared early in the morning by a skilled florist in Thamesmead, ready for same-day delivery to a memorial service in Abbey Wood, Belvedere, or along the waterfront. The soothing mix of pink and white blooms offers a tender way to express sympathy and honour cherished memories when words alone are not enough.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
An elegant sympathy spray in fresh white and layered green is set against a clean white background, its diagonal shape reminiscent of the gentle curves of paths and waterways around Thamesmead. This one-sided funeral tribute begins with a generous focal point at the upper left, where large white lilies anchor the design. Some lilies are fully opened, their petals soft and slightly recurved, revealing pale green throats and stamens dusted with fine pollen; others remain as poised buds, suggesting beauty still to unfold. Surrounding them, clusters of cream and ivory roses unfurl in different stages, from tight buds to medium-open blossoms, their velvety petals forming intricate spirals. White carnations work their way between the roses, their fringed and ruffled edges creating a plush fullness at the centre. Scattered through the arrangement are daisy-like white blooms, similar to Gerberas, with clear white petals framing small centres in muted yellow or soft brown, bringing a quiet brightness to the palette. Fine white filler flowers, likely gypsophila or a similar delicate variety, float between the larger blossoms like a light veil. The foliage is generous and varied: deep green, glossy leaves create structure and depth; airy fern fronds add texture and movement; and rounded eucalyptus leaves in a gentle blue-green tone contribute an understated, contemporary note. Long, slim green leaves are artistically looped at the top, while from the lower right, splayed palm fronds sweep outward, giving the whole piece an elongated, contemporary profile. The monochrome whites and greens evoke peace, dignity, and solace, making this arrangement well suited for funeral services, cremations, or memorials with same-day delivery available across Thamesmead and the surrounding estates.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
The majestic beauty of this diagonally cascading sympathy spray seems to echo the tranquil stretches of Thamesmead's riverside walkways. Pristine white lilies, some resplendent with open petals and golden stamens, others keeping their secrets within tight green buds, bring a sense of purity and grace to the forefront. Among them, deep pink roses beam with warmth and remembrance, their subtle fragrance promising comfort during moments of reflection. Playful clusters of green santini chrysanthemums add a modern edge, balanced by soft, ruffled white carnations that enhance both texture and visual harmony. Here and there, cheery red hypericum berries provide eye-catching contrast, reminiscent of the vibrant wildlife along Southmere Lake. The arrangement's cascading shape is defined by an array of lush foliage: broad, dark green leaves folded to create crisp lines, delicate sprigs, and trailing palm fronds that flow gently downward. Each bloom and leaf is placed with intention by a skilled Thamesmead florist, resulting in a floral tribute that offers solace and serene beauty-ideal for local memorial services or as a comforting gesture delivered across SE28.

£75.00
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
A dignified sympathy floral spray is shown laid out against a bright white background, every detail clear and unhindered, as if prepared on the workbench of a skilled florist in Thamesmead before making its way to a local chapel or crematorium. The design flows horizontally from left to right, beginning in a fuller, more rounded mound and gradually narrowing into an elegant tapered tip, giving the impression of a gentle, guiding gesture or a final, graceful bow. Rich, deep red roses dominate the eye at first glance, their velvety petals tightly layered, each bloom a concentrated symbol of love, honour, and sorrow. Between them, generous clusters of white carnations, with their frilled, almost feather-soft petals, create a luminous contrast, suggesting purity, remembrance, and a peaceful farewell. The red and white flowers are cradled in a bed of abundant foliage: broad, dark green leaves forming a sturdy, glossy foundation, much like the dependable greenery seen throughout Thamesmead's riverside walkways. Threaded through the arrangement are sprigs of silvery eucalyptus, their soft, dusty-green tones and subtle fragrance adding a note of calm reflection. From the right side, finer tendrils of trailing greenery arc and fall gently, giving the spray a natural, flowing elegance, as if the flowers themselves are exhaling a final sigh. The overall mood is solemn yet comforting, perfectly suited as a casket spray or prominent memorial tribute for a funeral service. It is the kind of carefully balanced design that families in Thamesmead often choose when they wish to express deep condolences and celebrate cherished memories with quiet sophistication.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Photographed against a spotless white backdrop, this long, single-ended funeral spray feels calm and composed, a refined design that would sit beautifully beside a coffin or memorial photograph at a Thamesmead service. The spray follows a gentle diagonal line, with the securely bound stems at the upper left giving way to a flowing cascade of foliage and blooms that tapers towards the lower right. The central feature is a striking row of deep red roses running the full length of the spray. Each rose tells its own part of the story-some buds still tight and compact, others starting to loosen, and several fully open with their velvety petals layered in a rich, crimson spiral. Nestled between these roses are abundant clusters of pinkish-red Hypericum berries, providing a softer, more delicate texture and a slightly lighter hue that lifts the intensity of the red. Encircling this core is a generous mantle of greenery. Large, glossy dark green leaves form a solid base, their smooth surfaces reflecting the soft studio light and hinting at the freshness of a bouquet just arranged by a local florist near Thamesmead's parklands and waterways. From beneath these strong leaves, airy palm fronds and finer sprigs of foliage extend outward, adding length, movement, and a touch of gentle asymmetry. The stems at the top are neatly aligned and wrapped with a wide strip of carefully folded green leaf, giving a polished, professional finish. Together, the rich reds, berry accents, and deep greens create a traditional, heartfelt expression of sympathy and respect, ideal for funeral and memorial services around Thamesmead, Abbey Wood, and the nearby SE London communities.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
A serene sympathy spray, ideal for a funeral or memorial in Thamesmead, is photographed against a crisp white background, its form curving diagonally like a gentle tear falling from left to right. The design begins with a luxurious mound of blossoms at the upper left, gradually narrowing to a soft, trailing point at the lower right. The focal flowers are numerous white and cream roses, some still in bud with tightly wrapped petals, others fully open in classic, cupped rosettes that reveal intricate spirals and a soft, velvety texture. Interspersed among them are generously sized white carnations, their frilled petals adding a plush, ruffled texture that softens and enriches the composition.   

A careful selection of greenery provides contrast and depth. Broad leaves and muted, silvery eucalyptus weave between the flowers, lending cool, calming tones to the overall palette. From the underside and edges, darker green foliage and slender, trailing stems of ruscus extend outward and downward, reinforcing the elongated, teardrop silhouette and adding a sense of gentle movement, as though the flowers are flowing naturally in one direction. The lighting is even and soft, allowing each petal, leaf, and curve to be clearly defined without distraction.   

This classic white spray could easily accompany a service in one of Thamesmead's churches or crematorium chapels, or be delivered to a family home overlooking the lakes and green spaces that characterise the area. It conveys respect, remembrance, and quiet hope, making it a thoughtful choice for saying a final goodbye. The understated white and green colour scheme feels timeless and dignified, a floral expression of sympathy that offers comfort in moments of loss to families throughout Thamesmead and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Captured against a crisp white backdrop, this elongated floral spray has been shaped into a gentle taper from the upper left down to the lower right, creating a soft, flowing movement that draws the eye along its length. A profusion of yellow roses runs through the centre of the design, their petals ranging from tight, hopeful buds to fully open blooms with velvety, golden spirals. They glow like small pockets of sunlight, radiating a feeling of kindness and remembrance. Nestled among these roses are clusters of small, round crimson red berries, likely Hypericum, which provide a striking colour contrast and a pleasing change of texture, their smooth, polished skins catching the light. Surrounding the flowers is a rich framework of foliage: broad, dark green leaves carefully layered at the top left to form a firm, structured backing, some leaves artfully folded to add depth and tailored detail that reveals a florist's practiced skill. From the lower right corner, slender palm-like fronds fan outwards, each leaflet fine and pointed, giving the spray a graceful, almost tropical sweep and emphasising its elongated, asymmetrical silhouette. The design seems ready to be placed as a tribute at a farewell gathering in Thamesmead, perhaps at a quiet service near Southmere Lake or one of the local churches. The combination of sunny yellow roses, deep red berries, and lush green foliage creates a gentle balance of comfort and strength, offering a respectful way to say goodbye while celebrating a life with colour and warmth, as if carrying a little piece of a Thamesmead garden into the ceremony.

This image shows a striking red sympathy spray laid out against a clean white background, every petal and leaf clearly visible as if ready to be placed on a casket or displayed at a chapel in Thamesmead. The arrangement is elongated and full-bodied, with its greatest fullness through the centre and a gentle tapering towards each end, forming a smooth, teardrop-inspired shape. At the heart of the design, deep red roses cluster closely together, their velvety petals curling in layered spirals, some blooms partially open and others fully unfurled, conveying tenderness, devotion, and respect. Among them, rich red carnations fill the spaces with lush, ruffled textures, softening the composition and lending a comforting, almost cloud-like effect. Scattered through the red are bold gerbera daisies in the same deep tone, their flat, open faces and darker central discs giving a modern, graphic contrast that draws the eye along the length of the spray. Delicate sprigs of tiny white filler flowers, reminiscent of baby's breath or little chrysanthemums, appear here and there, catching the light and lifting the intensity of the red with gentle hints of brightness. A wide, red satin ribbon, glossy and smooth, is tied into a generous bow near the top centre, its long tails winding elegantly through the blooms and adding a formal, commemorative touch. Beneath and around the flowers, long palm fronds fan out in deep green arcs, creating a strong frame and sense of movement, while darker, denser leaves and fine ferns fill the base, ensuring no gaps are visible. As a carefully composed funeral tribute crafted by Florist Thamesmead and suitable for services across the local churches and cemeteries, this red spray expresses enduring love, courage, and a warm, dignified farewell.

SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
This image captures a beautifully elongated funeral spray laid out against a clean white background, allowing every flower and leaf to be clearly appreciated, as if prepared for a farewell service in a quiet corner of Thamesmead. The composition stretches from a wider, rounded top to a slimmer, pointed base, creating a natural sense of flow along its length. Deep red lilies command the eye first, their large, star-shaped blooms opening wide, with richly saturated petals and visible stamens that lend drama and depth. They are gently embraced by a wealth of roses in cream, pastel pink, and hints of soft mauve, each one either just unfurling or fully open in layered spirals that evoke long-held stories and shared moments. Soft pink carnations fill many of the spaces between these larger blooms, their ruffled petals adding a cloud-like texture that softens the stronger shapes of the lilies and roses. White chrysanthemum sprays and daisy-like flowers are scattered throughout, their small, multi-petalled heads and golden centres adding a touch of innocence and clarity, reminiscent of simple garden flowers near the paths by Crossway Park. Interwoven with these are cool blue-purple thistles and delicate lavender-blue filler flowers that bring an unexpected yet harmonious contrast, adding structure and contemporary flair to the otherwise classic colour palette. All of this rests upon a verdant base of dark green foliage, including large, glossy leaves and finer, feathery greenery that cascades outward, giving the spray volume and a sense of natural ease. The design feels both comforting and elegant, an arrangement that might accompany a final goodbye or a memorial gathering in Thamesmead, offering beauty and solace to grieving family and friends.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Set on a clean white background, this elegant funeral spray is composed in a striking diagonal, beginning with a neat gathering of stems at the upper left and unfolding into a full, flowing display of flowers and foliage toward the lower right. The arrangement is rich in colour harmony, with soft pinks, vivid fuchsias, deep magentas, and crisp whites blending seamlessly. Large gerbera daisies are the stars of the design, some in delicate pastel pink and others in bold, jewel-toned fuchsia, their open faces suggesting warmth and remembrance. Nestled among them are pink roses, their classic spiralled centres and velvety petals carefully spaced to create depth and balance. Fluffy white blossoms-likely carnations or miniature chrysanthemums-form gentle cushions of texture, brightening the composition and evoking a sense of peace. Small, daisy-like filler flowers scattered throughout provide a whimsical, airy quality, echoing wildflowers one might see along the paths by the Thamesmead canals. Bright red hypericum berries peek through the petals and leaves, adding rounded shapes and a contrasting pop of colour. The whole piece is cradled in a rich bed of greenery: broad, glossy dark leaves give structure; fine, feathery ferns soften the edges; and rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves introduce a cool, contemporary note and a hint of soothing scent. From the lower right, long palm fronds arc gracefully outward, reinforcing the spray's cascading, asymmetrical silhouette. Thoughtfully composed, this tribute feels ideal for a funeral or memorial in Thamesmead, whether placed at a local church service, delivered to a home near Crossway Park, or sent as a heartfelt gesture of condolence to comfort a family in their time of loss.
