Viewed from directly overhead, this perfectly proportioned round bouquet is an exercise in tonal harmony and floral craftsmanship, presented on a stark white background that heightens the subtle interplay of white and cream. Several expansive white lilies dominate the composition with their broad, slightly ruffled petals and centrally placed light-green stamens-some flower throats carrying a trace of pale purple or green that adds visual depth and a natural touch of shading. Between and beneath these lilies nest compact bunches of cream and ivory roses in various stages of bloom; many appear as refined, tight buds while others are beginning to unfurl, their layered petals forming soft, concentric textures against the lilies' planar shapes. Delicate sprays of white Baby's Breath thread through the arrangement, their minute blossoms producing a frothy veil that fills negative space and lends the bouquet a cloud-like softness. A few bright green leaves emerge at the rim, strategically placed to outline the circular silhouette and offer a fresh tonal contrast to the cool whites. The lighting is diffused and even, allowing the tactile qualities of velvet rose petals and satiny lily petals to read clearly to the eye and to the imagination. This floral grouping suggests ceremonial uses-bridal work, commemorative centrepieces, or a dignified gift-and would translate well for editorial images about wedding florals or the language of white flowers. Local to the Croydon and Purley area, a floral studio on or near Purley Way might craft this same design for clients in Purley Oaks, Selsdon or South Croydon seeking elegant simplicity and timeless refinement.

A large, pristinely white round bouquet photographed from above, the composition so dense it reads like a soft cloud of petals on a pure white ground. At its heart several broad, trumpet-shaped white lilies open wide, their satin petals curving gracefully and revealing pale green pistils and stamens that give a fresh, almost watery centre to each bloom. Nestled among the lilies are many creamy ivory roses, most held as tight buds or in the quiet stage of half-opening, their concentric layers of velvety petals forming warm pockets of texture against the lilies' smooth planes. Sprigs of tiny white Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) are sprinkled throughout, their miniature star-like flowers creating an airy, lace-like filigree that softens the bouquet's overall density and adds delicate filigree detail when seen up close. Small, glossy green leaves peek from beneath and around the outer ring, giving just enough verdant contrast to make the whites read as luminous rather than flat. The lighting is soft and even, with gentle highlights on the petals that suggest morning or late-afternoon light, and the arrangement's symmetry and compactness communicate careful hand-tying and experienced floristry. The scent, if imagined, is a pale, sweet perfume-lilies' heady lift balanced by the gentle, familiar perfume of cream roses and a faint green freshness from the foliage. This classic palette of white and cream feels suited to weddings and christenings, elegant centrepieces, or a quiet sympathy tribute; its quiet radiance is the kind of timeless bouquet a local Purley florist might prepare for delivery across Purley, Sanderstead or nearby Coulsdon.

This classic white posy arrangement features smooth white roses, graceful white lilies (liliums) and delicate gypsophila, creating a soft, peaceful display that feels almost heavenly. Ideal as a funeral posy, memorial tribute or condolence gift, its pure white tones symbolise remembrance, grace and eternal peace.

Each Compassion Posy is handcrafted by our skilled Purley florists using fresh, premium blooms. Available in Original (approx. 28cm / 11"), Deluxe (30cm / 12") and Grand (36cm / 14") sizes, you can choose the size that best expresses your sentiments, with the Grand size shown in the image. To maximise longevity, some flowers may arrive in bud so you can watch them gently open over time.

Roses are delivered with their natural guard petals to protect the inner blooms during transit. These outer petals can be carefully removed on arrival to reveal the pristine flowers beneath. As some stems are seasonal, we may substitute flowers with similar varieties of equal or higher quality, colour and value. Thoughtful, refined and uplifting, the Compassion Posy is a beautiful way to say goodbye or offer support when words are not enough.

    Funerals are part of life but they are rarely expected. I stumbled on this site when helping a friend with ideas for funeral posies. When we placed an order, they did not disappoint. It feels good to know you have a place to turn in times of dire need.

    I always thought ordering flowers online was kind of risky, however Handy Flowers proved to be very reliable and loyal company. Absolutely worth giving them a try no matter what the occasion is.
