LETTER TRIBUTES
A carefully composed sympathy letter tribute spelling out DAD, handcrafted with hundreds of small, snowy white chrysanthemums that create a soft, uniform field across each block letter. Each letter is outlined with a ribbed, emerald green ribbon which crisply defines the shapes against the bright studio-white background, offering the visual calm of a chapel display. Thoughtful clusters of deep red roses paired with delicate white freesia sit at focal points: the upper curve of the first D, the base of the A's left stem, and the upper curve of the final D. These clusters introduce a layered contrast - the roses' velvety depth, the freesia's faint citrus-sweet perfume and the cool green foliage - while subtle loops of bear grass or slender greenery add a contemporary lift to the central A. Behind the letters thin dark green or black metal bars are discreetly visible, giving the piece stability for display at a church service, funeral cortege or graveside near Purley High Street or the quieter lanes around Sanderstead. Under soft, diffused light the chrysanthemums read pure and textured, the green ribbon catches a faint sheen, and the rose clusters bring a quiet warmth that is both tender and dignified. As a local Purley florist I would suggest this arrangement when a family wishes to honour a father with a clear, personal message; Purley Florist can create and deliver similar bespoke letters across Purley and nearby Kenley, with attention to scent, proportion and the solemn context of remembrance.
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
A soft grey background provides a quiet, unobtrusive canvas for an intricate floral tribute that spells "MOM," the sort of design a Purley family might choose when arranging a final farewell. The three letters are enclosed by a slender white rectangle that frames them like a cherished photograph. Each letter is entirely covered with dense clusters of white chrysanthemums, their small, round blooms pressed close together to create a plush, cushion-like effect. This uniform white surface catches the light gently, making the letters appear almost to glow. At the top left corner of the first "M," a rich fuchsia rose opens among smaller, blush-pink rosebuds, the colours deepening against the pure white background. Lacy green fern fronds fan out around them, adding a touch of movement and natural softness, like foliage gathered from a garden near Purley Oaks. The central "O" stays mostly white, marked only by a single pink rose placed near its lower edge, a subtle accent that feels intimate and sincere. The second "M" repeats the floral motif of the first, with a bold fuchsia rose, soft buds, and fern leaves arranged at the top right, creating a balanced composition. Superimposed over the centre of the tribute, still within the white border, is a block of white text. A bold "3" sits at the top, followed by "LETTER" in tidy uppercase, and below, the word "Tribute" rendered in a graceful script that arcs gently across the lower portion. This clearly identifies the design as a three-letter funeral tribute, suitable for spelling short words, names, or initials for services held in and around Purley, Kenley, and surrounding communities. At the far left and right of the image, just peeking into view, other white chrysanthemum letters with pink rose accents suggest a wider display, showing how this style can be tailored to different family wishes while keeping the same sense of love and dignity.
3 LETTER TRIBUTE
£155.00
This image shows a thoughtfully designed funeral flower arrangement spelling out "DAD" in bold, upright letters, ideal for placing by the coffin or at the front of a service in Purley, Coulsdon, or along Brighton Road. All three letters are completely filled with pristine white chrysanthemums or similar small-headed blooms, tightly packed together so that the surface appears smooth, plush, and unbroken. The mass of white petals forms a serene foundation, suggesting innocence and remembrance, while tiny green centres peek through in places, adding a hint of softness and life. Around the outside of every letter, a rich emerald-green ribbon is carefully ruffled, its satin finish catching the light and giving each letter clear definition against the bright white background. On the first "D", a graceful cluster of white freesia blossoms and fresh foliage rests along the upper left curve, their delicate buds and open flowers adding texture and a suggestion of fragrance. The final "D" echoes this with a slightly more compact spray on its upper right edge, creating visual balance. The central "A" is adorned with a more dramatic composition. Two long, arching green stems sweep diagonally from the top of the first "D" down towards the lower right arm of the "A", leading the eye to a focal spray at its base. Here, two deep purple calla lilies, known for their smooth, sculpted trumpets, curl gently among more white freesia and glossy greenery, introducing a rich, contemplative colour that feels fitting for a farewell. Behind the letters, subtle dark bars reveal a sturdy frame designed to keep the tribute upright throughout the service or at the graveside. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity and heartfelt love, capturing the deep bond between a family and their father.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
This image portrays a graceful four-letter floral tribute, the sort of thoughtful memorial piece often requested from Purley Florist by families saying a final goodbye. The scene is set against a pale grey background, purposely muted so that the flowers and text at the centre can speak more clearly. Dominating the middle of the composition is a dark charcoal-grey square, lightly opaque and edged with a clean white border. On this surface, the phrase "4 LETTER Tribute" is written in luminous white letters: the numeral "4" stands tall at the top, "LETTER" follows beneath in a neat, understated font, and the word "Tribute" sweeps across the bottom in a graceful cursive style, like a gentle handwritten signature. Through the semi-transparency of the central panel, four floral letters can be seen stretching beyond its left and right edges, indicating a personalised name or homage. Each letter is made up of countless white chrysanthemums, their layered petals forming a dense, cushion-like finish that feels soft and comforting, much like fresh blooms delivered from a Purley shop to a quiet family home. A subtle trim of blush-pink ribbon traces the edges, just peeking out from between the flowers and adding a whisper of colour. Nestled among the white blooms are clusters of rich red roses, their velvety spirals framed by glossy green leaves. These moments of red and green create focal points within the letters, guiding the eye gently along the tribute. Overall, the composition communicates care, skill, and personalisation, suggesting a custom floral letter arrangement designed for funerals or remembrance services across Purley, Coulsdon, and nearby areas, where families wish to honour a loved one with a meaningful floral word.
4 LETTER TRIBUTE
£200.00
This photograph captures a custom five-letter floral tribute arranged in a neat horizontal line, set on a soft light grey background that allows the flowers to stand quietly in focus, much like a peaceful corner of a Purley chapel. Each letter is formed from a robust frame but softened completely by a dense covering of white chrysanthemums or carnations, the blossoms placed closely together so no gaps show through. The result is a plush, textured surface that appears comforting and gentle, inviting the eye to rest. Bordering every letter is a band of deep purple satin ribbon, carefully gathered around each edge, lending definition and a refined, classical feel that suits the solemnity of a funeral or memorial service. Dotted thoughtfully along the letters are small sprays of accent flowers: petite pale pink and mauve roses, combined with light, feathery green ferns and foliage, add just enough colour to break the expanse of white, suggesting the softness of a spring garden near Purley Oaks. The letters visible in the design hint at a name - a full "J" on the left, with "O," "H," and "N" partially obscured, and an "A" at the far right - demonstrating how a meaningful five-letter word or the name of a loved one can be spelled out with care. Centrally, a semi-transparent grey square sits over the floral word, edged with a bright white border. Inside, white text spells "5 LETTER" in a clear, contemporary sans-serif type, with the word "Tribute" beneath in a flowing script that suggests personal craftsmanship. The composition feels poised and heartfelt, a personalised sympathy arrangement well-suited to farewell gatherings and services across Purley and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
5 LETTER TRIBUTE
£240.00
A handcrafted memorial piece spells out DAD in bold, three-dimensional lettering composed of a dense carpet of small white chrysanthemums, their rounded heads pressed close to create a continuous, cloud-soft surface that catches gentle studio light. Each letter is crisply defined by an emerald green pleated ribbon that follows the outer and inner contours, the ribbon's folded texture giving a quiet formality to the arrangement while complementing the cool white blooms. A narrow, dark green support bar runs discreetly behind the letters, keeping the trio level for display on a stand or at a graveside. Thoughtfully placed accent clusters punctuate the composition: the first D is adorned on its upper left curve with a compact spray of deep magenta roses at varying stages of bloom, intermingled with small white freesia and rich green foliage; the central A cradles its cluster in the lower V, where roses and freesia nestle together; the final D receives a matching cluster on the upper right curve, balancing the piece visually and emotionally. The contrast between the pristine chrysanthemums and the jewel-like roses reads as both reverent and affectionate, the freesia adding fine, citrusy-floral notes to the quiet scent. Presented as an appropriate sympathy tribute for a father, this arrangement is the sort of bespoke memorial we prepare for families around Purley High Street and Purley Station, and Purley Florist can arrange local delivery to nearby Croham Hurst or Purley Oaks on request. The overall impression is one of careful craftsmanship, comforting texture, and dignified remembrance.
GRACIOUS DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
6 LETTER TRIBUTE
£290.00
A lovingly composed memorial display spelling out DAD in large freestanding block letters, each letter clothed in a thick blanket of immaculate white chrysanthemums that create a soft, uniform surface and a calming visual presence. Each letter is neatly edged with a dark-green ruffled ribbon that provides a crisp, formal outline against the white blooms, while slim dark metal bars behind the letters form a sturdy frame that binds them into a cohesive tribute. The left-hand D carries a bright accent of 3-4 yellow roses, sunlit and warm in tone, nestling among sprigs of tiny white freesia and fresh green foliage; two slender arching stems extend from that cluster toward the centre, creating a gentle diagonal movement. The central A is given a more contemplative focal point: two deep purple, almost burgundy calla lilies with their smooth, sculpted curves, set low on the left leg and surrounded by delicate white fillers and glossy greenery, bringing a note of reverence and depth. The right D reflects the left, with a matching cluster of yellow roses and textural greens on its upper right curve, producing a reassuring symmetry. The piece reads as a respectful and personal memorial, its clean white background and subtle scent of freesia and chrysanthemums lending a sense of calm. As a local Purley florist I often prepare this style for services at nearby venues or for delivery to families around Purley Station and Purley Downs; Purley Florist can adapt the scale and ribbon tone to suit a chapel, crematorium or wake with the same careful craftsmanship and sensitivity.
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
The photograph captures a lovingly made floral tribute spelling out the word "DAD," designed as three individual letter shapes joined in a neat row, ideal for resting alongside a coffin or at the front of a chapel in the Purley area. Each letter is framed by a border of rich, glossy green fern foliage, the delicate fronds overlapping to create a softly textured outline that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, bright white background. Within this leafy frame, the front of each letter is completely covered with flowers, placed closely together so no frame shows through. Large white chrysanthemums and open-faced white gerbera daisies form the main body, their rounded petals giving a cushion-like effect that feels calm and reassuring. Woven among the whites are small bursts of cheerful yellow in the form of mini gerberas, button chrysanthemums, and delicate yellow spray roses, adding a gentle warmth that suggests hope and cherished memories, like sunlight across a familiar Purley street. To add depth and an extra layer of sentiment, the florist has tucked in clusters of purple lisianthus and rich magenta or deep pink spray roses, their deeper hues bringing a dignified yet loving tone to the tribute. Tiny lavender-coloured filler flowers and vivid green button chrysanthemums provide contrast, hinting at the freshness of early spring walks around local parks such as Riddlesdown or Purley Way. Slim dark green support bars discreetly link the three letters, ensuring they stand as one cohesive message of remembrance. The arrangement as a whole feels thoughtfully balanced and deeply personal, the kind of bespoke funeral flower design a local Purley florist would create to help a family say goodbye to their dad with grace, respect, and heartfelt affection.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
This carefully styled image combines clean graphic design with the warmth of real flowers, presenting a classic GRANDAD funeral letter tribute that would feel at home in any Purley chapel or crematorium service. The backdrop is a smooth, mid-tone grey, soft and even, allowing the central elements to stand out without distraction. A dark grey square sits in the middle, encased in a fine white border that gives it a calm, framed appearance. Within this square, white lettering explains the concept: an oversized numeral "7" at the top, below it the word "LETTER" in modest, sans-serif capitals, and at the bottom, the word "Tribute" flowing across in a graceful script, its curves reminiscent of curling ribbon or gently trailing foliage. Peeking out from behind this central square, running from left to right, is a floral arrangement composed of seven individual letters spelling "GRANDAD". Each letter is fully covered with compact white chrysanthemums or similar small blooms, their rounded, layered petals forming a dense, velvety surface associated with sympathy flower work across Purley and nearby Sanderstead. These white petals create a clean, peaceful base, while scattered accents of purple flowers-likely lisianthus buds or small roses-bring depth and contrast. The purple heads, tucked among the white, are supported by glossy green leaves that add a fresh, natural note to the otherwise monochrome palette. On the left, the curved "G" is most apparent, while the following "R", "A", "N", "D", second "A", and final "D" appear only partly as they disappear behind the square, yet together they clearly suggest the full GRANDAD tribute. The mood is one of quiet reflection and enduring affection, as if a family has entrusted Purley Florist with creating a personalised floral farewell that speaks gently when words feel inadequate.
7 LETTER TRIBUTE
£330.00
There is a calm dignity to this MUM tribute, designed to read clearly from the front pew on a soft morning when light filters through chapel windows around Purley Station. The letters are large, connected and entirely formed from tight clusters of snowy white chrysanthemums; each bloom is small and layered, producing a uniformly plush surface that speaks of purity and timeless remembrance. A soft, ruffled ribbon in muted rose-pink traces the outline of each letter, adding a maternal warmth that frames the white blooms like a gentle embrace. Visible between the characters is a dark green structural frame, the discreet skeleton that ensures the tribute stands steady at a graveside or funeral home viewing. Three coordinated bunches of accent flowers add colour and balance: the first M carries a compact posy of fuchsia-pink roses, glossy green fern-like foliage and tiny coral hypericum berries at its upper left; the U is graced with a similar cluster at its lower curve; and the second M echoes this arrangement at its upper right. Together, the crisp mums, velvety roses and shiny berries create an interplay of texture and scent - a soft, floral perfume that is subtle rather than overpowering. As a local floral designer familiar with Purley and the surrounding roads, I imagine this piece arriving with quiet reverence, appropriate for a memorial, wake or graveside dedication; it is an intimate expression of love and respect for a mother whose memory will be kept close.
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
This image shows a classic "OUR MUM" floral tribute, arranged in a straight line against an immaculate white background that lets the flowers and their meaning take centre stage. Each letter is a robust block capital, fully covered with compact white chrysanthemums or similar small-headed blooms. The blossoms are tightly grouped so that they form a continuous, almost plush surface, their tiny petals catching the light and giving the lettering a calm, soothing presence. Tracing the perimeter of every letter is a border of rich red flowers, likely carnations or miniature rose clusters, whose deeper tones frame the pristine white interior, emphasising the shape of each character and giving the tribute a warm, dignified contrast. Interspersed across the piece are three elegant groupings of deep red roses, combined with fresh green foliage and fern. One cluster rests between the "O" and "U", another fills the space between the first "M" and the "U", and the final grouping nestles near the outer edge of the last "M", adding gentle movement and visual balance. A slender dark green support bar or frame holds the letters together from behind, barely visible yet crucial for keeping the tribute aligned for display during a funeral service or wake in Purley or the surrounding suburbs. The restrained palette of white, red, and green lends this design a sense of purity, love, and respect, making it a fitting choice for families in Purley who wish to honour their mother with a heartfelt, traditional arrangement as it travels from a home near Purley Oaks or along Brighton Road to a place of farewell.
OUR MUM TRIBUTE
£290.00
A lovingly arranged sympathy piece that spells out MUM in strong, three-dimensional capital letters, each letter densely enrobed in tiny, crisp white chrysanthemums to form a uniformly plush, cloud-like surface against a pure white backdrop. The texture of the chrysanthemums gives the composition a serene, almost ethereal softness while conveying traditional meanings of purity and remembrance. Three thoughtfully placed accent clusters of soft lavender roses and pale pink rosebuds break the white expanse: one cluster crowns the upper left arm of the first M, another nestles in the inner curve at the base of the U, and the last sits gently on the upper right arm of the final M. These pastel roses - some fully open, others as compact buds - bring velvety form and a faint, honeyed fragrance that complements the cool green scent of fern and foliage woven through the design. Long, delicate fern fronds and smaller glossy leaves add depth and a gentle contrast of verdant tones, while a dark green structural base - ribbon-wrapped or moss-covered - is visible beneath the blooms, tracing a supportive line that connects and stabilises each letter. This composition, finished with the calm restraint suited to a funeral service, radiates comfort and timeless affection. As Purley Florist, we often prepare this style of tribute for families in Purley and the surrounding neighbourhoods, from the quiet lanes near Purley Station to the green spaces of Purley Beeches, and can arrange local delivery to the church, chapel or graveside when required.
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
This image presents a classic "MOM" floral tribute, carefully arranged so that the letters appear to float against a bright, uncluttered white background. Each capital letter is composed of densely packed white blooms, likely small chrysanthemums, set so closely that no gaps are visible. The petals create a soft, plush texture reminiscent of freshly fallen snow, transforming solid lettering into something gentle and comforting. A slim dark green framework supports the design, just visible as connecting bars and a neatly ribboned base, grounding the tribute without stealing focus from the flowers. Pops of colour arrive in the form of three coordinated rose clusters. On the top left of the first "M", a vibrant fuchsia rose opens fully, its velvety petals surrounded by smaller, blush-pink spray roses and tiny buds, as if gathered from a Purley garden on a cool morning. Fine fern foliage, feathery and light, fans out around the roses to soften the transition from bright pink to crisp white. At the lower area between the "O" and the second "M", another cluster nestles into the cushion of chrysanthemums, creating a focal point near the centre of the piece. A third matching cluster brightens the upper right of the final "M", completing a balanced composition that guides the eye along the entire word. The overall effect is one of peace, dignity, and deep affection, a tribute that feels at home in a church in Purley, a local crematorium chapel, or resting quietly on a gravesite, conveying a heartfelt farewell to a much-loved mother through colour, texture, and the language of flowers.
PINK GARDEN MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
A serene sympathy floral arrangement spells out the word "MOM" in three bold capital letters, stretching horizontally across a pure white background that sets off the flowers' colours and textures. Each letter is formed from countless small, pure white blossoms-likely spray chrysanthemums or similar blooms-tightly massed together so the surface looks like a soft, continuous cushion. The petals are delicate yet abundant, giving the impression of a gentle, cloud-like pillow of flowers, a peaceful tribute well suited to a quiet farewell somewhere near Purley or along Brighton Road. Subtle hints of a dark green frame, perhaps wrapped with ribbon, are visible at the edges, lending structure and ensuring the letter shapes remain crisp and easy to read from across a chapel or crematorium space. Warmth and personality are added through three carefully placed clusters of roses. On the upper left of the first M, a spray of peach and apricot-toned roses, mixed with smaller rosebuds, nestles into the white flowers. At the lower centre of the O, another cluster anchors the design, resting where the letter meets its unseen base. On the upper right of the last M, a final matching cluster completes the arrangement with a gentle sense of symmetry. Each rose grouping is framed by fresh greenery-slim stems, ferns, and broader, darker leaves-that weave in and out of the chrysanthemums to provide contrast, depth, and a hint of the garden. The overall impression is one of quiet love, gratitude, and remembrance, the kind of custom MOM tribute often chosen for funeral services in the Purley area when families wish to honour a mother with grace and heartfelt simplicity.
PEACH ACCENTS MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
PURPLE AND WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE & WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
The image captures a beautifully balanced MUM tribute arranged in three separate, three-dimensional letters, all set before a clean white background so the colours appear vivid and true. Each letter has been painstakingly covered with masses of deep mauve and rich magenta chrysanthemums, their petals forming a continuous, velvety carpet of colour across the entire surface. Tiny jade-green centres peep out from the heart of each bloom, catching the eye and adding a sense of gentle movement and life to the design. Around the sides of the letters, a softly gathered, light-pink ribbon has been wrapped and pinned, its ruffled edge providing a delicate, almost cloud-like outline that softens the strong, blocky forms. Nestled into this sea of purple and pink are clusters of roses and foliage, placed with thoughtful symmetry. On the first M, the upper left corner holds a small spray of bright pink roses, framed by airy fern fronds and glossy leaves that arc over the chrysanthemums. The base of the U features a rounded arrangement of pale pink and cream roses, accented by white filler flowers and mixed greenery, creating a calm, soothing focal point at the centre of the word. The second M is crowned on the upper right with a counterpart grouping of rich pink roses and fern, completing the visual rhythm. This tribute, typical of the style chosen by families in Purley and along Brighton Road for funeral and crematorium services, radiates dignity, tenderness, and enduring affection for a beloved mother.
LOVING MUM TRIBUTE
£160.00
BRO TRIBUTE
PERSONALISED BRO TRIBUTE
£165.00
A poised and personal floral tribute from Purley Florist carefully spells KATE in pronounced capital letters, each letter formed from a thick, uniform carpet of small white spray chrysanthemums that create a soft, cloud-like surface. Around the contours, a pleated pale pink ribbon gently frames every character, the delicate hue offering a subtle definition against the pristine white flowers. Bold clusters of red anthuriums are placed within the chrysanthemum base; the anthuriums' glossy, heart-shaped spathes and prominent spadices catch the eye and bring a warm, intimate focal point to the arrangement. Lush green foliage - fine fern fronds, broad leaves and sprigs of ruscus - is intermingled with the blooms, adding layered texture, a cool leafy scent and visual depth. Fine green vines trail lightly between the letters, creating an organic link that unifies the separate forms into a single, flowing tribute. Presented on a stark white background with a faint drop shadow, the letters take on a sculptural presence that feels both handcrafted and thoughtfully finished. Intended for funerals, wakes or life celebrations across Purley - from services near Purley High Street to family gatherings by Purley Oaks station - this arrangement expresses respect, warmth and enduring remembrance. The overall effect is calming and dignified: an empathetic, well-balanced design, assembled with the kind of care local families seek when honouring someone dear.
DARLING KATE TRIBUTE
£200.00
This handcrafted floral name tribute spells KATE in large, sculpted block letters made entirely from abundant, snowy-white chrysanthemums, each petal layered to create a plush, rounded texture that feels almost cloud-like to the eye. A pale pink satin ribbon is carefully pleated and applied along the outer contours of each letter, lending a soft, feminine edge and subtle warmth to the stark white. Each letter carries a single, richly hued red rose as its focal point: on the K the rose is positioned on the lower section of the left vertical stroke; the A's rose sits at the top of its triangular peak; the T is anchored by a rose at the base of the left side of its horizontal crossbar; and the E shows its rose on the middle horizontal bar. Surrounding each crimson flower is an artful collection of deep green foliage - glossy broad leaves mingled with fine, fern-like sprigs - which cradle the roses and add dimensional contrast to the chrysanthemums. The arrangement sits on a plain white field under gentle lighting that emphasizes the flowers' textures and the satin sheen of the ribbon, while the scent of the roses lends a quiet, consoling presence. Designed with the sensitivity families often request for funerals or memorials, this piece speaks to dignity and devotion. Prepared by Purley Florist for clients around Purley High Street and Purley Way, it reflects local craftsmanship and attention to detail for services at nearby chapels or life celebrations within the community.
RED KATE CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00
A carefully composed memorial tribute spells out "KATE" in four free-standing, three-dimensional letters made entirely from tightly packed, immaculate white chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemums create a dense, pillowy surface that suggests both purity and quiet strength; a narrow pale pink satin ribbon follows the outer and inner contours of each character, giving a soft halo of blush that defines the shapes. Against the white base, clusters of colour are arranged with considered balance: bold, velvety fuchsia-pink roses form the focal points, accompanied by delicate pastel pink spray roses and touches of deep purple or sapphire-toned accent flowers-likely statice or small lisianthus-that add a cool, contemplative contrast. Sprays are framed by mixed greenery, including slender fern fronds and rounded eucalyptus leaves, whose texture and subtle fragrance support the blooms without overwhelming them. The composition's placements are personal and deliberate: the K's diagonal carries a strong cluster, the A bears flowers near its lower right curve, the T holds a grouping at its base, and the E shows two smaller clusters, one on its middle arm and another on the bottom bar. Set against a clean white backdrop and lit with gentle studio light, the letters read clearly from any angle and invite a moment of quiet reflection. This arrangement-suitable for a funeral service, graveside or celebration of life-reflects the artisan care a local shop can provide for personal memorials; Purley Florist prepares similar bespoke tributes for delivery across Purley and nearby Croydon with fresh, seasonal blooms.
LOVING CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00
The floral tribute in this image spells out "KATE" in four bold letters, each one a small landscape of white petals and soft colour, presented on a clean white background so nothing distracts from the design. The letters themselves are densely packed with pristine white chrysanthemums, their many layered petals forming a plush, textured surface that appears almost like freshly fallen snow. Around the perimeter of every letter, a gentle blush-pink satin ribbon is carefully pleated, following each curve and corner to create a delicate, rippling edge that introduces a tender hint of colour and adds polish to the shape. Nestled thoughtfully within the white chrysanthemums, clusters of accent flowers and greenery add depth and meaning. On the left side of the "K" and along the base of the "T", yellow-green cymbidium orchids with rich, speckled red throats rise from pockets of glossy foliage and light, feathery ferns, providing a crisp, uplifting contrast. The "A" and "E" each bear a single, glossy red anthurium bloom, unmistakably heart-shaped, with a smooth, almost waxed surface and central spadix, standing out boldly against the white and echoing themes of love and remembrance. Slim green trails and curling tendrils run gracefully from letter to letter, binding the name together as one continuous tribute. This arrangement feels like a quiet yet deeply personal statement, the kind of bespoke name piece a Purley family might commission for a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life at a local church or chapel. Prepared by a skilled local florist in Purley, it reflects both technical precision and genuine compassion, ready to be delivered with care to services throughout Purley, Kenley, and the nearby Surrey borders.
SPECIAL CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£205.00
This bespoke floral name tribute forms the word "KATE" in bold, three-dimensional letters, each lovingly composed of countless small, immaculate white chrysanthemums. The blooms are densely packed so the letters read as soft, billowing forms against a pure white backdrop, the surface almost cloud-like under soft studio light. A delicate pale-pink satin ribbon lines the inner contours of every letter, lending a refined, feminine edge that subtly separates the white floral mass from its silhouette. Bright hot-pink roses punctuate the design, their saturated petals unfolding like small, sculpted flames: a clustered pair on the K, a solitary rose near the base of the A, a single vivid bloom at the foot of the T, and two roses nestled on the inner curve of the E. These rose clusters release a gentle, reassuring scent that complements the quiet purity of the chrysanthemums. Dark and light green foliage - including feathery fern fronds, glossy ruscus and a few variegated leaves - is woven around the roses and along the letter edges, with tiny pale-pink buds and delicate spray flowers adding soft contrast. The letters appear freestanding with subtle grounding shadows, intended for placement at a funeral service, memorial display or a celebration of a life well loved. As a seasoned florist from Purley, I picture this piece placed near Purley Station or on the dais at a local chapel, its combination of white serenity and pink warmth offering a compassionate and personal farewell.
ELEGANT CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00
This bespoke memorial arrangement spells out BETTY in broad, freestanding letters, rendered with the care of a local florist hand. Each letter's face is densely packed with creamy-white chrysanthemums, their pillowy blooms creating a serene, tactile surface that softens the overall silhouette. Within and against that pale field, concentrated ribbons of deep magenta and violet chrysanthemums define the letters' inner shapes and add depth, their jewel tones catching the eye with quiet dignity. The sides of the letters are trimmed with a subtle purple fabric edging that lends structure and a faint, elegant shimmer under soft lighting.

Set into several letters are small, natural posies composed of soft pink roses-some unfurled, others in delicate bud form-nestled among bright blue accents, likely tiny delphinium or cornflower-like blooms, which bring a cool clarity to the warmer tones. Lush fern fronds and mixed greenery cradle the rose clusters, giving a garden-fresh scent and a gentle contrast in texture. The arrangement is photographed on a stark white background so every shade and contour is visible, a choice often requested for service sheets, order confirmations, or memorial programmes.

As Purley Florist serving Purley and the surrounding neighbourhoods, we often prepare such tributes for services near Purley Station or the peaceful sweep of Purley Downs. The composition balances tradition and artistry-white for calm, purple for remembrance, pink for tenderness-offering a crafted, personal farewell that reads as both an intimate message and a public gesture of love.
MIXED FLOWERS CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£240.00
This bespoke memorial piece presents the name "JENNA" in strong, three-dimensional capital letters, each letter sculpted from dense clusters of pristine white chrysanthemums that create a soft, clouded texture across a bright white background. A narrow purple trim or ribbon outlines the inner edges of each character, its muted violet tone lending a dignified contrast that helps the letters to read clearly at a distance. Delicate accent posies have been artfully arranged on three key points - the sweeping curve of the 'J', the centre bar of the second 'N', and the upper curve of the final 'A' - each composed of blush-pink and lavender spray roses, intermingled with small cream or pale yellow roses and feathery fern fronds. Those floral touches give moments of warmth and colour without disturbing the overall serenity of the design. The letters are discreetly linked by thin, dark support bars so the composition sits securely in a chapel or wake setting. Soft, even lighting reveals the craftsmanship: the compact chrysanthemum heads offer a tactile surface and a faint clean scent, while the roses introduce a whisper of sweetness. As a personalised sympathy tribute, this piece balances formality with tenderness, a curated expression of honour suitable for viewing at a funeral or celebration of life. Locally made and familiar to families around Purley High Street, Purley Oaks and the Downs, this kind of tribute can be prepared for same-day or planned delivery by Purley Florist for services across Purley and neighbouring Croydon communities.
CUSTOM JENNA TRIBUTE
£240.00
Standing before this crafted composition you feel the quiet clarity of its message: H E heart U fashioned with intent against a brilliant white surface that allows every petal to be seen in delicate relief. The letters H, E and U are formed from tightly grouped white chrysanthemums, each bloom lending a soft, pillowed texture that suggests tranquillity and purity. A slender blush-pink satin ribbon ruffles the margins of every character, like the edge of a cherished keepsake. Vibrant fuchsia roses appear as small beacons of colour - clustered at the base of the H, anchoring the central bar of the E, and tucked within the curve of the U - accompanied by tiny reddish-pink berries and cool, fern-like greenery that give each accent a natural, composed feel. The heart in the centre departs from the stark whites and becomes a tender study in pink: layers of pale pink carnations or spray carnations, blush lisianthus and smaller rosebuds are set among soft, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves, their aromatic scent implied even in still photography. The craftsmanship is visible in the density and balance of the blooms, in the way the ribbon edges create a gentle, unified frame. Bathed in neutral studio light, the composition reads as both a celebration of affection and a comforting memorial. As a local florist I imagine delivering this piece to a service at a nearby chapel or leaving it at a family home in the Purley area; its combination of white purity and joyful pink accents holds room for both sorrow and remembrance, for sympathy and for saying I love you.

TREASURED NAN TRIBUTE
TREASURED NAN TRIBUTE
£155.00
A graceful sympathy tribute spelling "NANA" in pure white, each letter crafted from tightly clustered button chrysanthemums that form soft, cloudlike surfaces against a clean white background. The blooms are small and densely packed, their delicate petals creating a velvety texture that gives each character generous, three-dimensional form; under gentle, even lighting the white tips catch a cool, silvery highlight while the floral bases reveal shadowed depth. Around the outer edges of each letter a pleated band of vivid green foliage - arranged like a narrow satin ribbon of living leaves - traces the contours with crisp definition, the green providing a calm, life-affirming frame to the pristine blossoms. The composition reads as a respectful and personal memorial piece, its quiet palette of pure white and fresh green speaking of purity, peace and enduring affection. As an experienced florist serving Purley, Purley Oaks and the surrounding Croydon neighbourhoods, I picture this arrangement at a visitation table or set gently on a grave marker; its clean lines and meticulous craftsmanship offer comfort and clarity during a difficult day. There is a subtle scent of fresh chrysanthemums when viewed close up, faint and green, and the arrangement's compact, sculptural character conveys careful handwork-each flower wired and positioned for evenness and longevity. Purley Florist can prepare similar personalised letter tributes for local funerals and viewings along Brighton Road and Purley High Street, delivering with sensitivity to local funeral directors and families seeking an understated, loving farewell.
WHITE NANA TRIBUTE
£200.00
Set cleanly against a bright white field, the word NANA appears as a lovingly constructed floral sculpture, each letter a compact mosaic of chrysanthemum heads. The first N and the second N are composed of dense clusters of deep magenta to plum purple chrysanthemums, each bloom revealing a minute yellow eye that punctuates the colour and adds warmth. Between them, both A letters are fashioned from close-packed cream-to-white chrysanthemums that glow with a soft, cool presence, creating an elegant alternation of tone across the word. A vivid lime-green trim-either narrow pleated ribbon or finely cut foliage-traces the outer edge of every letter, its lively hue lifting the composition and articulating the three-dimensional forms. The texture is sumptuous and quiet: individual petals fold into a sculpted surface that invites the eye to linger, while the overall silhouette remains unmistakable and dignified. Gentle, diffuse light accentuates the plush depth of the chrysanthemums without bright highlights, producing a contemplative mood suited to remembrance. As a funeral or sympathy tribute, this arrangement offers a clear, personal message to honour a grandmother called NANA-placed on an easel at a service or laid beside the coffin, it communicates love, respect and a rooted sense of family. The workmanship is precise, with secure stems and a neat backing, so the letters retain their shape during transport and when displayed at services in nearby churches or community halls.

A lovingly crafted memorial piece reading 'PAPA' in bold, uppercase letters, each letter formed from dense clusters of immaculate white chrysanthemums or similar small, creamy-white blooms, arranged to produce a soft, domed texture that looks almost cloudlike. The blossoms are carefully wired and packed so the surface remains full and even, the individual petals catching a soft, natural light that reveals delicate shading across each bloom. Around each character a neat border of pale lime-green ribbon - or equally a tight band of fresh light-green foliage - is pleated and ruffled, giving a gentle, organic frame that contrasts the pure white and sharpens the letterforms. The letters are laid out in a serene horizontal row against a plain white background, an unadorned stage that lets the composition speak plainly: a personal tribute to a beloved father or grandfather. As a local touch, this style of arrangement is one we create often at Purley Florist for services at St. Mark's or wakes near Purley High Street and for deliveries across Purley, Kenley and Riddlesdown. The scent is understated, the visual effect powerful: classic white and green symbolising peace and remembrance. The piece feels both intimate and formal, suitable for a funeral chapel, a memorial board, or a family's home viewing, offering a quiet, tactile expression of love and respect in the language of flowers.
WHITE PAPA TRIBUTE
£200.00
The image shows an elegant floral lettering tribute spelling out "GRANDPA" in bold, freestanding characters, set out in a straight line as though ready for placement at a funeral or memorial service in Purley, near the tree-lined streets and local churches. Each letter is completely covered with masses of pristine white flowers, most likely spray chrysanthemums, arranged so densely that they form a smooth, cushioned finish. Their small, neat petals and tiny yellow-green centres produce subtle variations in tone, creating a soft, natural texture that feels both fresh and comforting. Around every letter's edge runs a slim border of light lavender or lilac blooms, tracing the shapes and gently separating them from the pure white background behind.   

Carefully placed accent sprays add warmth and a sense of personal remembrance. On the curved edge of the G, three to four peach roses, some opening and some still in tighter bud, nestle among long white lily buds and glossy green foliage, forming a gentle focal point. The D echoes this motif with its own cluster of peach roses and leaves, balancing the design. The first A and the last A are each embellished with a single peach rose surrounded by fresh greenery, understated but meaningful, like an individual farewell. All seven letters rest on a slim, dark support bar, likely a metal frame covered in green tape, which runs beneath them and holds them in place without distracting from the flowers. Set against a simple white backdrop, the arrangement appears serene and composed, the soft combination of white, lilac, and peach evoking peace, gratitude, and enduring love-a thoughtful funeral flower tribute that a Purley florist might create to honour a much-loved grandfather.
ADMIRED GRANDPA TRIBUTE
£330.00
BA TRIBUTE
BA PERSONALISED TRIBUTE
£100.00
Captured against a clean white studio-style background, this elegant floral tribute forms the word "GRANDMA" in six strong, upright block letters, each one shaped entirely from white flowers. The florist has used masses of cushion chrysanthemums, their tiny, neat petals and rounded centres tightly clustered to create a smooth, plush surface that almost resembles soft fabric. Around the outer edges of every letter, a subtle border of pale purple or lilac ribbon appears, peeking just beyond the flowers and giving the entire word a gentle aura of colour, like a faint twilight glow. Red accent blooms bring warmth and contrast to this sea of white. On the left, the letter "G" holds a compact spray of deep red roses and a single variegated red-and-cream calla lily, the lily's distinctive, curled shape and patterned petals lending a touch of individuality. The first "A" is anchored by one prominent red anthurium blossom at its base, heart-shaped, glossy, and smooth to the touch. In the middle, the "M" is decorated with more rich red roses and another matching anthurium, while the last "A" on the right is completed with a final red anthurium bloom. A dark green metal or wooden stand runs beneath the letters, keeping them aligned and stable, much like the steady structure of Purley's familiar high street supporting daily life. The overall impression is one of calm respect and heartfelt affection, an ideal personalised sympathy tribute created by a Purley florist for a grandmother's funeral, memorial service, or graveside committal.
