SPRAYS/SHEAVES
Set on a bright white background, this long, tapering sympathy spray flows gently from left to right, mirroring the natural curve of a teardrop. At the upper left, a vertical bundle of straight green stems forms a strong, elegant starting point, with one broad green leaf wrapped neatly around their base to create a polished, sculptural accent. From this centre of structure, the arrangement opens into a lush cascade of flowers dominated by deep, velvety reds: classic red roses with layered petals, bold red gerbera daisies with darker centres, and clusters of smaller red carnations with slightly ruffled edges. These blooms, familiar in many Balham memorials, speak silently of love and remembrance. Between the reds, vivid lime green chrysanthemum pompon flowers glow like bright beads of colour, their rounded form and intense hue adding contemporary energy and contrast. Tiny white filler flowers-possibly small daisies or gypsophila-are dotted throughout, softening the stronger tones and bringing a hint of lightness, as though the arrangement itself is quietly exhaling. Surrounding the flowers, a generous base of foliage creates volume and structure: glossy dark green leaves such as salal provide a rich backdrop, while feathery leatherleaf fern and other delicate greens contribute texture and a feeling of movement. At the lower right, long, sleek green leaves fan outward, tracing the spray's line and completing its graceful silhouette. The overall effect is of a carefully arranged tribute, equally suitable as a casket spray or stand-alone display for a funeral or memorial service in Balham, offering comfort, dignity, and a sense of composed beauty during times of loss.

A graceful casket spray of white lilies and lisianthus is displayed diagonally on a clean white background, its composition reminiscent of a single, sweeping brushstroke. Dominating the centre are large oriental lilies, their pristine white, satin-like petals either fully open or just beginning to unfurl from pointed buds, creating a natural rhythm of blossom and promise. Woven between these lilies are smaller lisianthus flowers, their softly ruffled white petals brushed with hints of lavender and lilac at the edges, along with clusters of round, closed buds that lend texture and quiet anticipation. The blooms rest on a dense bed of fresh greenery: wide, dark green leaves form a calm, supportive base, while slender palm fronds and narrow blades of foliage extend outwards to the right, reinforcing the elongated, teardrop form. Certain leaves have been folded, rolled, and twisted into architectural shapes, offering a contemporary touch that feels right at home in Balham's blend of traditional terraces and modern apartments around Balham Station. The overall colour story-crisp whites, gentle purples, and deep greens-evokes calm and reverence, like an early-morning walk along Balham High Road before the day's bustle begins. Though the image is silent, it invites the imagination to sense the light, fresh fragrance of lilies and the cool, waxy feel of the leaves under the fingertips. Designed for funerals and memorial gatherings, this spray is ideal for resting on a casket, standing by an urn, or gracing a remembrance table, offering a visual expression of heartfelt sympathy and lasting love for families across Balham and the surrounding streets.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
Displayed against a clean white backdrop, this large sympathy spray extends diagonally across the frame, formed in a classic teardrop shape that is full and rounded at the upper left, then gradually narrows to a gentle trailing point at the lower right. At its centre are numerous deep red roses, fully opened so that each flower reveals a swirl of velvety petals, rich in colour and soft in appearance. Threaded among them are brighter red carnations and small spray carnations, their frilled, layered petals providing intricate texture and a slightly lighter crimson note. Together, the roses and carnations create a dense, tapestry-like surface of red, speaking of enduring love, honour, and remembrance. Beneath and surrounding the blossoms, a generous base of greenery supports the design. Dark green leaves, broad and glossy, frame the outer curve of the spray and peek between flowers, giving structure and contrast. Closer to the heart of the arrangement, rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery-green tones weave through the blooms, their cooler colour gently tempering the intensity of the reds. From the tapered lower end, delicate, trailing stems of pale green foliage extend and curve outward, reinforcing the sense of movement and flow. The lighting is even, highlighting each petal and leaf vein without harshness, which preserves the arrangement's soft, contemplative mood. This is the sort of traditional funeral tribute a Balham family might have delivered to a service near Tooting Bec or Wandsworth Common, a carefully crafted casket spray that feels both personal and respectfully understated as it rests by the coffin or at the front of the chapel.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
A thoughtfully arranged sympathy sheaf lies against a pure white background, its elongated silhouette gently slanting from the neatly tied stems at the top left to the tapering cascade at the bottom right. At the centre, striking Stargazer lilies unfurl their generous petals, rich in fuchsia-pink tones with crisp white borders and fine burgundy speckles that draw the eye inward. Some blooms are fully open, revealing their stamens, while others remain in bud, flushed with hints of green and pink, like memories still forming. Nestled among these dramatic flowers are velvety magenta gerbera daisies, their bold centres radiating warmth and affection, and clusters of white roses that rest serenely between the brighter colours. The roses, some tightly closed and others partially open, lend a sense of purity and understated grace. Fluffy white carnations weave throughout, their ruffled edges creating a soft, comforting texture reminiscent of folded fabric. Scattered between the larger blooms are tiny white daisy-like fillers, adding delicate detail and a sense of lightness. The entire arrangement is embraced by an abundance of greenery: broad, dark green leaves frame the central flowers, feathery fern fronds soften the outline, and long, slender, grass-like leaves sweep outward from the lower right, enhancing the arrangement's flowing movement. The composition feels balanced and serene, as if it might be carried gently through Balham's quiet residential streets on the way to a farewell service. This floral tribute is ideal for funerals, memorials, or condolence deliveries across Balham, offering a respectful, heartfelt way to express admiration, sympathy, and remembrance.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
This image features an elegant, elongated teardrop funeral spray, photographed against a bright white background that highlights the softness of its colours and the care in its construction. The design flows from a fuller, rounded head of blooms into a slender, tapering point, creating a sense of gentle direction and quiet movement. At the heart of the arrangement are numerous pink roses, their velvety petals unfolding in layered spirals; some are only just beginning to open, while others are fully bloomed, showcasing their intricate centres. Their shades range from the palest blush through to richer rose pink, giving a harmonious, pastel warmth. Interlaced among them are white carnations and dainty spray carnations, with finely ruffled petals that catch and diffuse the light, adding a cloud-like softness and contrast to the smooth roses. The flowers rest on a substantial bed of foliage, including large, dark green leaves that form a strong base and frame, and rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves that thread throughout, lending a cool, calm accent and a sense of airy depth. From the narrower end and the sides, threads of trailing dark green foliage cascade gently, extending beyond the main body of blooms and adding a natural, almost waterfall-like effect. The mood is one of tenderness and quiet reflection, making this a fitting tribute for funerals or memorials in Balham, perhaps placed within a church near Balham High Road or at a local crematorium chapel, where its soft pink and white tones can bring a sense of peace and comfort to those gathered in remembrance.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
This elegant sympathy arrangement is shown front-facing against a clear white background, a long, diagonal spray of white flowers and green foliage that seems to drift gently from left to right. The central focus is a cluster of large white Oriental lilies, some fully open so their broad petals fall back to reveal softly coloured stamens, others remaining upright as smooth, tapered buds. Intertwined with the lilies are creamy white roses, at different stages from tight buds to half-open blooms, and softly ruffled white carnations that add layers of feathery texture. White gerbera-like daisies peek through with neat, round faces and subtly tinted centres, bringing a simple, honest charm. Throughout the arrangement, tiny white filler flowers are scattered like a delicate lace, easing the transitions between each bloom. The flowers are supported by an abundant base of greenery: glossy, dark leaves lending solidity; light, airy fronds of fern introducing gentle movement; and rounded eucalyptus foliage in dusty blue-green offering a softer, contemporary note. At the upper section, narrow green leaves are carefully wrapped into neat loops, providing a quiet sculptural detail. From the base and lower right, long, slender palm fronds radiate outward, extending the spray into a sleek, asymmetric shape that feels both traditional and modern. The palette of white and green communicates stillness, respect, and comfort, echoing the calm of a walk through Tooting Bec Common or along Bedford Hill at dusk. It is an arrangement that would sit naturally beside a coffin in a Balham chapel, or speak softly from a memorial service, offering a measured, heartfelt expression of condolence.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
This sophisticated sympathy spray brings together the classic and the contemporary, echoing the quiet elegance found in Balham's hidden garden corners. Crafted to flow diagonally across a pure white background, it features bold white lilies-some in full bloom, delicately scented with prominent yellow stamens, others preserved as elegant buds. Deep pink roses weave warmth and loving remembrance throughout, their petals softly opening amidst a flurry of crisp white spray carnations that lend gentle fullness and calming balance. Vibrant, moss-green santini chrysanthemums are artfully placed for texture, their rounded forms creating lively contrast next to the arrangement's scarlet hypericum berries, which pop with natural cheer. Lush greenery forms a dense, distinctive backdrop: broad, glossy folded leaves provide structure, while slender palm fronds cascade gracefully, drawing the eye down. Sprays of lighter green foliage and feathery accents echo the tranquility of Balham's leafy residential areas. The arrangement's gentle, natural lighting enhances every petal and texture, resulting in a bouquet that radiates solace and admiration. Suited perfectly as a funeral tribute or a gesture of condolence, this spray offers understated comfort and heartfelt beauty to families in Balham, Brixton Hill, and Clapham South-delivered with both care and local understanding.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
A serene sympathy spray of blue and white roses lies diagonally across a stark white backdrop, its flowing form evoking a gentle farewell. The design is intentionally asymmetrical, with a full concentration of blooms at the top left that gradually tapers into slender greenery at the lower right. Around two dozen roses serve as the focal point, each bloom open and lush, inviting the eye to rest on the smooth curvature of every petal. Half of the roses are coloured a deep sapphire blue, velvety and intense, while the other half are creamy white and soft ivory, radiating a quiet, peaceful glow. Intermingled throughout are delicate clusters of white baby's breath, their tiny star-shaped flowers creating a light, gauzy veil that softens the strong contrast between blue and white. The floral centre rests on a steady foundation of mixed greenery, echoing the calm, leafy character of Balham's side streets and nearby Wandsworth Common. Broad, glossy dark green leaves provide structure and depth, framing the roses without overshadowing them. Feathery bright green fern fronds rise from the top, adding a fresh, textural lift, while long, slender palm fronds extend from the lower right, sweeping outward and down to complete the classic teardrop shape associated with traditional funeral arrangements. Sprigs of bluish-green eucalyptus-like foliage peek between the blossoms, offering hints of silvery tone and additional texture. Decorative strips of striped green and cream foliage or ribbon coil elegantly through the piece, lending a tailored, contemporary finish. The composition carries a sense of composed grief and quiet remembrance, suitable for a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life service in Balham, where families wish to express love, respect, and enduring memory through flowers.
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
This image shows an elegant sympathy spray laid on a pure white background, allowing every flower and leaf to be clearly defined. The arrangement stretches horizontally, with a fuller, more mounded section on the left that gradually narrows to a refined, trailing tip on the right, giving the impression of a quiet procession. Deep red roses, luxuriously velvety and tightly furled, are positioned throughout the piece, each bloom carefully spaced so that it feels important and intentional. Between and around them are numerous white carnations, their softly frilled petals forming a gentle, cushion-like texture that softens the whole design. The interplay of rich crimson and bright white creates a striking yet tranquil contrast, reflecting both the depth of loss and the wish for peaceful rest that accompanies many funerals in Balham. Beneath this layer of blooms, a foundation of mixed greenery anchors the spray. Broad, dark green leaves offer structure and a glossy backdrop, helping the colours stand out sharply against the white background. Threaded among them are stems of silvery-green eucalyptus, their slightly muted tone lending a calm, cooling effect, and suggesting a subtle, refreshing scent. On the right-hand side, delicate trails of fine greenery extend outward, softening the edge and introducing a sense of movement, like foliage stirred by a gentle breeze across Tooting Bec Common. The entire composition feels dignified yet tender, the kind of floral tribute a local Balham florist would prepare for a casket, memorial table, or graveside farewell along Bedford Hill or near Balham Station, quietly conveying love, respect, and remembrance.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A thoughtfully crafted red rose sympathy spray is photographed against a pristine white background, its diagonal composition creating a sense of gentle movement and quiet grace. The design begins at the upper left where the stems are firmly bound and then elegantly wrapped with a wide strip of green leaf, giving a contemporary yet natural finish that speaks to experienced floral work often seen in Balham's independent flower shops. From this starting point, the arrangement flows outwards, broadening through the centre before tapering towards the lower right, forming a soft, elongated teardrop shape. Along its length, velvety red roses are the dominant feature, their petals rich and plush, with blooms in multiple stages - from small, unfurling buds to rounded, fully open flowers. Between them, clusters of smooth, round Hypericum berries in shades of pinkish-red and coral weave through the composition, adding delicate, bead-like accents and visual depth. A foundation of lush greenery holds everything together: broad, dark green leaves create a strong frame, catching the light with a subtle sheen, while finer, feathery palm fronds and trailing foliage spill gently from the lower right edge. The overall effect is one of refined balance, with the deep reds and greens harmonising to convey love, respect, and remembrance. The white background isolates the spray, as though it is being prepared in a calm studio before same-day delivery to a church near Balham High Road or a quiet service for a local family. This arrangement feels both traditional and timeless, a heartfelt floral tribute to accompany final goodbyes with dignity.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
This elegant funeral spray, photographed against a bright white background, stretches diagonally from a lush, domed head at the top left to a fine, tapering tip at the lower right, creating a graceful teardrop shape. At the centre of the design, numerous white and cream roses are clustered closely, their petals at varying stages of openness: some remain as neat, rounded buds, while others have unfurled into full blooms with layered, spiralling centres that invite the eye inward. Interspersed throughout, white carnations with soft, frilled petals create pockets of billowy texture, lending the arrangement a gentle, comforting softness. Around and beneath the flowers, a mix of foliage provides structure and contrast. Cool, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave between the blooms, and darker, glossy leaves along with fine ruscus trails extend outward and down, reinforcing the natural, cascading line of the spray. The classic white-and-green palette feels calm and reverent, like a quiet moment in one of Balham's side streets as the evening hush descends after the bustle of Bedford Hill. Crafted with precision and care, the arrangement seems perfectly suited for placement on a casket or as a statement display at a funeral or cremation service in Balham and the surrounding area. Its composed elegance helps convey love, respect, and sympathy without words, offering a serene focal point where memories can rest and those mourning can draw a gentle sense of comfort.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
An elegant sympathy spray, designed in a flowing teardrop shape, is shown resting on a bright white background, its gentle diagonal line running from the upper left down to the lower right as though ready to be laid at a graveside or memorial in Balham. The central focus is a gathering of yellow roses in different stages of bloom. Some are just beginning to unfurl, their petals still closely cupped, while others are more open, displaying generous spirals of soft, golden-yellow velvet. These roses radiate a subtle warmth, symbolising friendship, gratitude, and gentle remembrance. Threaded among them are numerous clusters of small, rounded red berries, likely Hypericum, their polished, deep-red surfaces catching the light and offering a bold yet refined contrast to the roses. A substantial framework of greenery supports and surrounds the flowers. At the upper left, large, dark green leaves overlap and, in places, are folded back on themselves, giving the arrangement structure and volume. Toward the lower right, long palm-style fronds emerge and fan out, their slim, pointed leaflets forming an elegant cascade that elongates the entire design. The variety of green shades-from intense forest tones to lighter, almost tropical hues-adds depth and richness. On the white backdrop, every detail stands out crisply: the curve of each petal, the glossy berries, and the fine lines of the fronds. Created with the experienced eye of a local florist who understands the quieter moments of Balham life, this spray feels both dignified and consoling, a fitting floral expression for occasions when families gather near Tooting Bec Common or Balham's churches to honour a loved one's memory.
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
Shown on a pristine white background, this sympathy spray forms a long, elegant teardrop of pastel blooms, its lines gentle and flowing rather than rigid. The arrangement is densely woven with soft pink roses, each bloom layered with delicate, satin-like petals that curl slightly at the edges. Their shades range from almost white blush to a more pronounced dusty rose, adding subtle depth and character. Resting between them are numerous light peach-pink carnations, their tightly ruffled petals creating a plush, textured foundation that gives the design a sense of fullness and comfort. The flowers sit atop a framework of rich, dark green foliage: broad leaves offer a supportive base around the sides and back, while slender, pointed greens and airy sprigs extend from the lower right, drawing the eye along the natural taper. The overall effect is soothing, as if the spray has been composed with quiet, loving care in a Balham flower shop just off Balham High Road. One can imagine it resting on a casket or memorial table in a local chapel, perhaps with soft music playing and the murmur of guests paying their respects. The pastel colour palette and balanced shape convey dignity without feeling stern, making it suitable for funerals, cremation services, or remembrance gatherings across Balham and nearby streets toward Tooting Bec. It speaks of solace and support, a tender floral companion to heartfelt condolences and shared stories of a life well lived.
COMPASSIONATE FEELING CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
An elongated, one-sided red flower spray lies against a clean white backdrop, its shape resembling a luxurious teardrop of blooms and foliage. At its core, a dense gathering of deep red roses commands attention, each bloom rich and velvety, some tightly furled, others fully open with layered petals that suggest tenderness and devotion. Around and between the roses, generous red carnations add volume and texture, their softly frilled petals creating a sense of comforting fullness. Red gerbera daisies are strategically placed to punctuate the arrangement, their open daisy-like faces and darker centres bringing a modern, graphic note that contrasts beautifully with the more traditional blooms. Threaded gently through this ensemble, tiny white filler flowers, akin to baby's breath or miniature chrysanthemums, illuminate the spray from within, adding airy pockets of light and giving depth to the sea of red. The flowers emerge from an abundant green base. Long palm fronds arc outward, defining the spray's length and giving it a stately, formal feel. Behind and between the blooms, darker, slightly glossy leaves such as salal or ruscus provide a thick, lush backdrop, ensuring no gaps are visible. Wispy, fern-like fronds peek delicately along the edges, softening the silhouette and adding fine, natural texture. Near the top, a wide red satin ribbon, polished and luminous, is fashioned into a large bow, its tapering tails weaving among the flowers like a final spoken farewell. This red rose and carnation funeral spray, ideal as a casket spray or front-facing tribute, would feel especially fitting at a Balham memorial, perhaps in a chapel near Bedford Hill or a quiet corner by Tooting Bec Common, where its rich tones can speak of enduring love, courage, and heartfelt goodbye.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART CASKET SPRAY
£120.00
SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
A richly detailed casket spray stretches across a clean white backdrop, its elongated form and gentle taper designed for a traditional funeral setting in Balham or along nearby Tooting Bec. The composition is dense and flowing, with a rounded, full section at one end that gradually narrows in a soft diagonal, echoing a journey from vivid presence to peaceful memory. Intense red lilies, reminiscent of stargazer or Oriental varieties, are placed as striking focal points, their wide, star-shaped blooms opening with dramatic elegance and subtle speckling at the centre. Around them, an abundance of roses in cream, ivory, blush pink, and the faintest lavender hue cluster together, some tightly furled, others fully open, their smooth, layered petals suggesting tenderness, love, and respect. Filling out the structure, light pink carnations with gently ruffled edges mingle with small white daisy-like chrysanthemum flowers, creating a plush, almost cushioned effect that softens the bolder lilies. Threading through the warmer blooms, spikey blue-purple thistles and sprays of tiny lavender-blue flowers add cooler notes and intriguing texture, echoing the natural charm of wildflower corners you might glimpse near Balham's quieter streets. Beneath and around the flowers lies a generous bed of deep green foliage: broad, glossy leaves provide solid support, while trailing, ferny greens extend beyond the main body of the spray, enhancing the tapered outline and lending a sense of natural movement. The arrangement looks freshly prepared, each stem carefully angled and layered, as one would expect from an experienced local florist. It conveys a balanced blend of sorrow, gratitude, and calm, serving as a fitting farewell tribute and a gentle comfort to those gathered in remembrance.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
This image shows a beautifully crafted funeral spray arranged on a stark white background, designed in a sweeping diagonal that moves from the upper left to the lower right, as if gently guiding the gaze through a story of remembrance. The upper left reveals the bound stems, gathered neatly together to form a strong base, their natural green tones hinting at the hand-tied craftsmanship behind the design. From there, the flowers unfold in a lush cascade. Large gerbera daisies in soft baby pink, rich fuchsia, and deep magenta serve as the focal blooms, their numerous delicate petals forming round, comforting discs that stand out against the greenery. Nestled among them are classic pink roses, some still slightly closed and others more open, their spiralling petals adding romance and dignity. Ruffled white blossoms, likely carnations or mini chrysanthemums, sit between the pink tones, bringing a cloud-like softness, while dainty white daisy-like flowers dance lightly through the arrangement, creating an airy, meadow-inspired texture that would feel at home along Balham's quieter residential streets and gardens. Pockets of bright red hypericum berries punctuate the composition, their smooth, bead-like surfaces adding a subtle richness and depth. Around and beneath the flowers, a variety of foliage builds a lush backdrop: broad, glossy dark leaves form a strong base; fine, feathery fern adds a gentle, natural movement; and rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves contribute a cool, modern accent and a hint of calming fragrance. At the lower right tip of the spray, long, slender palm fronds extend outward in graceful lines, enhancing the overall sense of flow. This dignified spray feels ideal for placing on a casket or using as a main tribute at a funeral or celebration of life in Balham, conveying compassion, respect, and heartfelt farewell.
