TRIBUTES
This image captures a lovingly crafted floral cross, resting against a bright white backdrop, reminiscent of a tribute you might see delivered to a quiet chapel or crematorium around Purley. Every inch of the cross is cloaked in fresh blooms, giving it a plush, almost quilted appearance. The main body is made up of deep crimson red roses, fully unfurled and densely packed so that their velvety petals form a continuous surface of rich colour. Threaded carefully between them are fuchsia pink garden roses or similarly full-headed varieties, their looser, more ruffled petals creating gentle movement and a softer edge to the design. Small rosebuds in coordinating reds and pinks appear here and there, their tight shapes and glossy shells introducing subtle variety and suggesting the unfolding of lasting memories. Encircling the entire cross is a narrow border of tiny white blossoms, perhaps spray chrysanthemums or miniature carnations, which collectively resemble a soft, white ribbon tracing the outline of the sacred form. This white frame provides a sense of purity and serenity while sharply defining the cross against the neutral background. Wisps of fresh greenery and thin, verdant leaves peek from beneath the blooms along the outer edge, enhancing the natural beauty without breaking the clean lines. The lighting is gentle and balanced, drawing out the richness of the reds and pinks and the delicate texture of the white filler flowers. The result is a dignified, heartfelt funeral piece, suitable for services, wakes, or graveside farewells throughout Purley, conveying a message of respect, remembrance, and enduring affection for the one who has passed.
SINCEREST CARE CROSS
£115.00
This image presents a large heart-shaped floral tribute designed for a funeral or memorial, captured from directly above so that every detail of its craftsmanship is visible. The heart's surface is completely blanketed with tiny white spray chrysanthemums, their petals tightly packed to form a luxuriously soft, quilt-like effect that speaks of purity and peaceful rest. The flowers are arranged with precision, creating a smooth, even texture that gently reflects the light and conveys a sense of quiet order, much like the calm of Purley's tree-lined avenues on a still day. Around the very edge of the heart runs a slender strip of emerald green satin ribbon, neatly fixed in place, its subtle shine adding a sophisticated border that crisply outlines the shape against the white background. Draped diagonally across the upper left curve of the heart is a vivid cluster of deep magenta and fuchsia calla lilies. Some of the lilies stand bold and open at the top, showcasing their elegant, funnel-shaped petals and dark centres, while others sweep downward in a gentle arc, hinting at the flow of a final goodbye. Small, delicate white flowers resembling freesias are nestled among the calla lilies, their lighter, airier appearance and imagined soft fragrance offering a tender counterpoint to the strong colour. Lush greenery, including fine fern fronds and the calla's glossy leaves, weaves through the spray to create depth, movement, and a natural, garden-like feel. The tribute feels thoughtfully composed, the kind of arrangement you might see carried into a chapel service in Purley, designed to express deep love, remembrance, and sincere condolences through its careful balance of colour and texture.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED HEART
£95.00
A carefully crafted floral artwork portrays the Union Jack as a rectangular funeral tribute, the entire flag composed from tightly clustered petals that create a plush, almost quilted texture. Saturated blue flowers form the background in each segment of the design, their compact heads fitting neatly together to produce a smooth, velvety field. Set upon this deep blue, the broad red St George's Cross stands out in thick vertical and horizontal bands of crimson blossoms, each flower head contributing to a sense of strength and clarity. Diagonal red lines, evoking St Patrick's Cross, run from corner to corner with precise angles and carefully shaped edges. Brilliant white blooms delineate the diagonal St Andrew's Cross beneath and trace the narrow borders that separate every red line from the blue, maintaining the intricate geometry of the national flag. The arrangement is displayed against a simple white background, free from distractions, so the eye is drawn entirely to the interplay of colour, texture, and symmetry. From the viewpoint of a local Purley florist, this would be a fitting tribute for services held in churches around Foxley Lane or for memorial gatherings near Riddlesdown, especially for families with strong connections to the armed forces or a lifetime of public service. Seen up close, the design invites you to imagine the soft brush of petals and the faint, green, earthy fragrance that lingers among the blossoms. It is a powerful yet gentle symbol, blending British patriotism with the quiet tenderness of fresh flowers at a time of loss.
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
Large heart-shaped floral tribute set against a pure white background, crafted with the care and precision you would expect from an experienced Purley florist. The heart is densely massed with small white chrysanthemums, arranged so closely that they form a perfectly smooth, cushion-like surface, symbolising purity, peace, and a sense of gentle support in times of grief. At the upper left side of the heart, three luxurious deep red roses are grouped in a focused cluster, their velvety petals unfurling in elegant spirals that naturally draw the eye. Tiny white filler blooms, likely freesias, peek from between the roses, while broad, glossy green leaves and wispy, fern-like greenery radiate outward, adding depth and a hint of movement. From this main spray, slender strands of bright green ornamental grass sweep diagonally across the centre of the heart, leading gracefully towards two single red roses placed lower and slightly to the right, as if linking shared memories from one generation to the next. Encircling the entire heart, a dark green satin ribbon forms a neat, tailored edge, pleated and smoothed to define the silhouette without overpowering the flowers. The composition of pure white, rich crimson, and layered greens feels both traditional and deeply personal, a sympathetic design often chosen by families around Purley, Kenley, and Coulsdon. Whether delivered for a funeral service, crematorium ceremony, or graveside visit, this heart arrangement offers a quiet yet eloquent expression of love, remembrance, and respect for a dearly missed person.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
This image shows a tender, cushion-style floral tribute, meticulously arranged into a soft rectangular pillow that suggests comfort and eternal rest. Every inch of the surface is densely covered with blooms, forming a continuous layer of petals in shades of pink, cream, pale yellow, and deep purple, the tones blending as gently as the evening sky over Purley on a still day. At the heart of the design are numerous roses: rich fuchsia heads open widely, displaying velvety spirals of petals, while paler pink and creamy yellow roses nestle around them, creating a soothing interplay of colour and form. Woven among the roses are clusters of royal-purple lisianthus, whose layered, ruffled petals introduce a velvety, almost fabric-like texture, deepening the mood to one of quiet reflection. Between the larger blooms, blush-pink spray roses and tiny lavender-hued filler flowers-likely statice or limonium-add intricate detail, so that no area feels sparse or unfinished. The tribute is further enriched by a generous ring of foliage: rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves arc around and through the flowers, catching subtle highlights, while darker, fine-textured fern-like greens sit slightly in the background, giving depth and a sense of natural abundance. The overall cushion shape is clearly defined, with slightly domed centre and rounded corners that visually soften the design and reinforce its symbolic message of peaceful sleep. Against a clean, white backdrop with a delicate shadow beneath, the arrangement appears composed and serene, as though freshly prepared for delivery to a Purley church or crematorium to convey heartfelt condolences and honour a cherished life with quiet, floral eloquence.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION
£95.00
A deeply comforting memorial pillow, photographed on a clean white surface with a soft shadow that defines its plush, rectangular profile, is composed of hundreds of pristine white chrysanthemum heads densely arranged to form a serene, cloud-like carpet. The chrysanthemums' compact, rounded petals create a uniform, velvety texture that conveys purity and rest, while a slim, pastel-green ribbon trim is pleated around the entire edge, its gentle colour providing a fresh, reassuring outline. Nestled diagonally in the top-left corner is an elegant posy of blooms: tender white lisianthus sit beside dramatic purple lisianthus - some petals unfurling, others held in neat buds - their contrast expressing dignity and remembrance. Feathery fern fronds and lush dark-green foliage thread through the cluster, adding natural depth and a quiet textural counterpoint; the base of the spray is bound with a darker green leaf wrap that keeps the composition neat and refined. The overall effect is one of tranquil craftsmanship and thoughtful symbolism, suited to funeral services, church viewings, or a graveside tribute. Prepared by Purley Florist with attention to traditional sympathy design, this pillow style is offered for families throughout Purley, from Purley High Street to Purley Oaks, and into neighbouring parts of Croydon - an understated, tactile emblem of condolence that reads as both dignified and tender beneath soft studio lighting.
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
Displayed against a clean, white background, this funeral flower cross radiates calm and dignity, much like a peaceful afternoon in a quiet corner of Purley. The entire form of the cross is densely upholstered with pristine white chrysanthemums, their many layered petals creating a deep, cushion-like texture that appears soft to the touch. The blooms are packed together so uniformly that the surface looks smooth and uninterrupted, conveying purity and serenity. Running along the outer edge is a neatly defined band of bright green foliage, which traces the outline of the cross and offers a fresh contrast to the white flowers, sharpening the silhouette and adding a sense of natural balance. At the intersection of the vertical and horizontal arms, a central spray introduces gentle colour and emotional focus. Several large roses in soft tones of peach, blush pink, and creamy ivory open fully, their rounded shapes rising slightly above the chrysanthemum base. Nestled amongst them are feathery fern fronds, fine loops of green grass, and scattered accents of tiny lavender-hued filler blooms, bringing airiness and subtle movement to the design. The lighting is soft and even, allowing every petal and leaf to be seen clearly without distraction. Crafted with care by a skilled local florist, this floral cross is a fitting choice for memorial services, church ceremonies, or graveside tributes in the Purley area, expressing respect, comfort, and enduring affection for a loved one who has passed.
DEEP SYMPATHY CROSS
£90.00
A large, elegant floral cross takes centre stage in this image, laid against a pure white background that emphasises its gentle pastel colours and intricate textures. The cross itself is fully composed of densely arranged fresh flowers, with no bare spaces, giving it a rich, comforting appearance. The majority of the blooms are white and creamy ivory roses, their layered petals forming a soft, serene foundation. Between them, plush white hydrangea-style clusters or similar rounded blossoms add volume and a pillowy feel, inviting the mind to imagine their cool, velvety touch. Throughout the design, warmer tones are woven in: clusters of soft peach, apricot, and light blush pink roses appear at intervals along the vertical and horizontal arms, suggesting moments of treasured memory and affection amid loss. Tiny flecks of lavender or pale purple filler flowers are threaded among the roses, adding faint glimmers of colour that echo the delicate skies often seen over Purley's tree-lined roads and hillside views. Occasional touches of short, glossy green foliage can be seen framing the outer edges, guiding the eye along the classic Christian cross silhouette. The bright, even lighting gently picks out the curves of each petal and casts a light shadow beneath the arrangement, reinforcing its three-dimensional form. This floral cross seems perfectly suited for a funeral or memorial service at a local Purley chapel or crematorium, perhaps carried from a family home near Brighton Road or Old Lodge Lane. It conveys a sense of calm, faith, and heartfelt condolence, the work of a skilled florist who understands how flowers can speak softly on behalf of grieving families.
DIVINITY CROSS
£105.00
At the center of a pristine white canvas rests an exquisitely handcrafted heart-shaped floral arrangement, thoughtfully designed by Purley Florist to evoke deep emotion. Around thirty soft pink and creamy white roses make up the heart's foundation, their petals artfully furled and boasting a rich, velvety sheen. Pale yellow hints in several roses bring a warm undertone, harmonizing perfectly with the arrangement's romantic palette. Interwoven among the lush blooms, ethereal sprays of baby's breath appear like little clouds, softening the overall structure and creating pockets of airy brightness. The bouquet's deliberate symmetry and fullness result in a striking heart silhouette-an unmistakable symbol of love, remembrance, and heartfelt tributes. Gently diffused lighting helps the arrangement's colors and textures stand out, highlighting the exceptional freshness only a local Purley florist can provide. Reminiscent of tranquil afternoons at Purley Oaks or peaceful moments near the High Street, this floral heart exudes comfort and gentleness, ideally suited for expressing sympathy at a memorial or sending love on special occasions. Each detail, from the layered petals to the ethereal gypsophila, reflects care and artistry honed in the heart of Purley.
DEAREST ONE HEART
£130.00
Viewed from a slightly elevated, almost overhead angle on a stark white backdrop, this heart-shaped arrangement feels like a soft embrace captured in flowers. A lush foundation of snowy white hydrangea forms voluminous clusters that cushion a profusion of roses in tones that move from creamy white and warm ivory to delicate pale peach and a whisper of blush pink. The roses vary in scale - small, tight buds sit alongside generous, fragrant heads - producing a tactile landscape of spiralled petals and layered softness. Here and there, slivers of deep green variegated foliage appear as thoughtful punctuation marks, lifting the pastels and adding a crisp, natural counterpoint to the blooms' silk-like textures. The carefully sculpted heart maintains a full, seamless surface while retaining subtle hand-made irregularities that speak to the arranger's craftsmanship; a gentle shadow beneath the piece emphasizes its raised profile and the dense packing of fresh stems. The overall mood is one of dignified tenderness and peaceful reflection - ideal as a sympathy or memorial offering, yet equally poised to convey profound romantic devotion at a wedding or anniversary. For clients in Purley and neighbouring Sanderstead or Kenley, this design provides a quietly elegant way to express love or remembrance, delivered fresh and arranged with the kind of attentive care people expect from florists who know the local chapels and community halls.
HEAVENLY HEART
£150.00
Presented on a pure white background, this three-dimensional floral arrangement in the shape of a teddy bear feels both comforting and refined. The bear's rounded body, head, and limbs are sculpted entirely from tightly packed royal blue flowers, whose layered petals create the illusion of soft fur that you could almost run your hand across. Subtle accents of creamy white and pale yellow blossoms highlight the inner curves of the ears, the rounded muzzle, and the pads on each paw, helping the familiar teddy silhouette stand out clearly against the bright backdrop. The face is expressive yet restrained: two dark, polished eyes reflect a hint of light, while a neat black triangle nose and a slender curved line below form a quiet, loving smile. Around the neck, an airy white mesh bow is tied in a careful knot, its gauzy texture adding a light, whimsical touch to the structured floral work. The entire piece lies flat, slightly angled, giving a sense of stillness and gentle repose. From the perspective of a Purley florist who regularly supports families arranging funeral flowers for services in Purley, Coulsdon, and along Foxley Lane, this blue teddy bear is especially poignant for a baby boy's memorial or as a tribute to a young child. The royal blue suggests serenity and a deep, calm strength, while the teddy bear shape evokes bedtime stories, favourite toys, and the innocence of early years, turning each petal into an expression of comfort, remembrance, and enduring love.
BLUE TEDDY BEAR TRIBUTE
£100.00
The image shows a beautifully detailed floral cross arrangement, presented against a pure white backdrop that highlights the delicate colours and textures. The cross appears fully three-dimensional and is completely concealed beneath a generous covering of flowers in a soothing blend of pink, mauve, and soft lavender shades, reminiscent of a spring sky over the green spaces around Purley. At the exact intersection of the cross, a trio of larger roses command attention. Their colour is a refined dusty rose, shifting into light mauve at the petal edges, and they are open wide to reveal layered, velvety spirals. Around these roses, dainty fern fronds and bright green foliage arc gently outward, offering contrast and creating a natural frame for the central motif. Flowing out from this point, the rest of the cross is covered in smaller lisianthus blooms, each trumpet-shaped flower nestling closely against its neighbour. The lisianthus range from pale, almost blush pink to richer rosy and mauve tones, with some showing slightly darker centres that lend depth. Between these main blooms are scattered tiny accent flowers in pale pink and purple, touches of white with soft yellow centres, and fresh light green buds that add intricate detail, like the fine stitching in a well-made garment. Along the outer contours of the cross, you can just discern slender bands of deeper purple ribbon or supporting material, which subtly emphasize the classic cross shape without distracting from the flowers. The composition feels calm, reflective, and lovingly made, the sort of floral tribute Purley families might choose for a funeral or memorial, conveying sympathy, faith, and a gentle sense of comfort when words feel inadequate.
ETERNAL PARADISE CROSS
£95.00
Set against a crisp white background, this circular funeral tribute appears almost like a soft, white pillow of flowers when viewed from above. The main body of the design is formed from hundreds of small white chrysanthemums, packed so closely together that they create a flawless, velvety cushion. Each bloom shows off its layered petals, while delicate touches of yellow-green at the centre bring an understated warmth to the cool white palette. Encircling the arrangement, a deep emerald green satin ribbon has been pleated into even folds, making a scalloped edge that gently ripples around the circumference and catches the light with a subtle sheen. Slightly off-centre, a striking focal point of lush greens rises from the chrysanthemum base. At its heart sits a vivid lime-green spider chrysanthemum, its long, fine petals stretching outward like delicate tendrils, surrounded by clusters of bright Hypericum berries and compact green santini-style blooms. Polished dark foliage and soft fern fronds weave through the cluster, lending depth, structure, and a sense of natural movement. Nestled within this greenery are two Scottish thistles, their spherical, spiky heads tinted in tones of dusty blue and violet, standing in bold contrast to the whites and greens. These thistles imbue the tribute with a sense of character and can symbolise strength, resilience, or a cherished Scottish heritage. The arrangement feels peaceful and composed, perfectly suited to services in Purley, from quiet chapel gatherings to crematorium farewells, where families look to a trusted local florist to capture love, respect, and personal meaning in a dignified floral cushion.
ETERNAL PEACE TRIBUTE
£90.00
Against a flawless white background, a stately floral cross appears carefully composed, its clean lines and gentle shadows highlighting the work of a skilled Purley florist. The cross has generous arms and a solid vertical stem, all of which are completely covered in snow-white button chrysanthemums. Each tiny blossom is positioned closely to its neighbour, giving the impression of a soft quilt of petals laid over the frame. The surface looks plush and inviting to the touch, with a natural sheen along the petal tips that suggests freshly arranged flowers, perhaps prepared earlier that day for delivery to a Purley church or chapel. Running all the way around the edge of the cross, like a quiet frame, is a slim lime green ribbon. The ribbon peeks out just beyond the mums, forming a tidy, uninterrupted border that adds definition and a gentle pop of colour reminiscent of new growth in local gardens off Pampisford Road. At the intersection of the cross, a thoughtfully composed cluster of accent blooms draws the eye. Several fully opened roses in soft, sympathetic hues-muted pink, warm peach, and creamy white-are nestled closely together. Their smooth, layered petals contrast beautifully with the small, rounded chrysanthemum heads beneath them. Fern fronds slip between the roses, adding slender, arching lines of green, while tiny lavender or light purple filler flowers introduce a delicate haze of colour. The entire arrangement exudes quiet reverence and comfort, the kind of floral cross chosen to honour a loved one's faith and memory at a funeral or memorial service in and around Purley, providing a tender, visual expression of condolence.
GRACEFUL CROSS
£90.00
This image shows a beautifully engineered floral saxophone standing upright, its form crisp and unmistakable against a flawless white backdrop that highlights every curve and colour. The saxophone's entire body is covered in a dense blanket of small, daisy-like yellow chrysanthemums, each head placed snugly beside its neighbour, creating a soft, velvety plane that follows the instrument's iconic S-shaped line. The curved neck, long central section, and open bell are all faithfully rendered in flowers, allowing the viewer to "see" the instrument through blooms rather than brass. Scattered carefully along the facing side are clusters of tiny red rosebuds, mimicking the placement of the saxophone's keys and giving the design a dotted cadence of rich, ruby colour. Fine strands of deep green foliage, perhaps ivy or a similar trailing leaf, thread their way along the edges and hug the curves, adding contrast and texture that recalls the movement of music through the air. Delicate green and silver wires are just visible near the top left where the mouthpiece would sit and along a few internal lines, offering subtle hints of the structural framework hidden beneath the flowers. The overall mood of the arrangement is both uplifting and reflective, well suited to a funeral or memorial service for a musician, music teacher, or jazz enthusiast from Purley or nearby Coulsdon. One can imagine this tribute resting by the coffin or at the front of a church, a floral echo of the saxophone once played at family gatherings, local concerts, or community events along the High Street, its bright yellow blooms symbolising cherished memories and its red roses speaking gently of love and farewell.
SAXOPHONE TRIBUTE
£130.00
Against a pure white background, a large Celtic cross made entirely of fresh flowers is presented on a gentle diagonal, offering a clear view of its thoughtful construction and symbolic detail. The main structure of the cross is created from a dense covering of snowy white chrysanthemum blooms, their small, uniform heads nestled side by side along the vertical stem and crosspiece. This white surface appears soft and padded, giving the arrangement a sense of calm stillness that feels fitting for a funeral or memorial gathering in Purley or nearby Kenley. Running through and around this base, a pattern of lime green button chrysanthemums outlines the circular Celtic ring and intricate, interlaced elements, their tightly packed, rounded shapes adding definition and a slightly raised texture. The vivid green stands out against the white, suggesting vitality, renewal, and a connection to nature similar to the wooded paths of Riddlesdown Common. On the lower arm of the cross, three separate clusters of rich, deep purple carnations are positioned with care, their layered, frilled petals forming pockets of intense colour and emotional depth. Threaded among these purple blooms, fine strands of dark green foliage and slim, curling stems soften the lines and give the impression that the flowers might have been freshly gathered from a local Purley garden. The lighting is even and bright, highlighting the three-dimensional form of the cross and the precision of the floral work without distraction. Overall, this Celtic cross arrangement radiates dignity, respect, and remembrance, offering a gentle way to express sympathy and honour a loved one's life, especially where Celtic symbolism or a love of traditional design is meaningful.
WHITE CELTIC CROSS TRIBUTE
£170.00
This image shows a teddy bear sculpted entirely from fresh flowers, a tender floral tribute that feels especially fitting for a child's funeral or remembrance service in Purley. The whole bear is framed against a neutral white background, allowing every petal and curve to stand out. Its body, head, and limbs are exactly defined through compact clusters of creamy white and very soft yellow chrysanthemums, carefully wired and placed so close together that they create a continuous, velvety surface. The florist has rounded the edges of the ears and paws, giving them a softened silhouette, as if the bear might be gently squeezed in a comforting hug. Two small, deep-toned floral centres form the eyes, adding focus and character to the pale face. Beneath them, a small, dark triangular nose is nestled into the petals, and a faint hint of pink, suggested by tiny petals or stitching detail, curves into a gentle smile. Across the front, a vibrant vest of deep pink and mauve flowers adds both colour and structure. These blooms, reminiscent of hydrangea heads or richly toned chrysanthemums, are arranged to form two clear sections that meet at the centre of the chest, echoing the shape of a formal waistcoat a child might wear at a christening along Godstone Road or at a family gathering near Purley Oaks. Tied at the neckline is a delicate bow made from fine, purple netting, its sheer loops framing the bear's face and introducing a lighter, airy texture. The lighting is bright yet soft, illuminating the floral work evenly and preserving the serenity of the design. This teddy bear-shaped arrangement expresses love, protection, and remembrance, offering a gentle presence for mourners, created with quiet expertise by a local Purley florist.
WHITE TEDDY BEAR TRIBUTE
£100.00
A pair of angel wings made entirely from white flowers and feathers stretches gently across a bright white backdrop, creating a sense of purity and stillness. The interior of each wing is densely filled with compact white chrysanthemums and spray carnations, their petals carefully layered to form a smooth, plush surface that invites touch. Within many blooms, you can see the slightest suggestion of pale green or soft yellow at the heart, tiny details that hint at freshness and natural growth. Around the outer rim, cascading plumes of white feathers follow the sweeping curves of the wings, softening the outline and lending a floating, ethereal quality. The feathers are downy and light, their wispy tips overlapping the flowers, suggesting both fragility and strength-like a comforting embrace at a farewell service in one of Purley's local churches. Gentle, even lighting enhances the interplay between the velvety petals and the airy feathers, while a delicate shadow underneath gives the wings a subtle three-dimensional lift. The overall composition is calm and unhurried, with no distracting elements, just the simple, moving shape of wings. This arrangement would be a meaningful choice for families in Purley and nearby Sanderstead who seek a traditional yet deeply symbolic tribute to honour a loved one. It carries connotations of guardian angels, safe passage, and spiritual peace, capturing the emotions of remembrance, gratitude, and the hope that the departed is held in gentle care beyond this life.
ANGEL WINGS TRIBUTE
£170.00
This image features a beautifully composed angel wing sympathy tribute, laid out against a clean, white backdrop so every detail is clearly visible. Each wing is meticulously filled with compact white chrysanthemums, their petals overlapping to create a soft, cushion-like surface that suggests purity and calm, much like the stillness along Purley Way at first light. Pale green centres peep through in places, adding natural texture and preventing the overall white from feeling flat. Surrounding the entire outline of the wings, a halo of downy white feathers gently flares outward, enhancing the angelic form and giving the tribute a sense of lightness and spiritual uplift, as though the flowers themselves might rise. At the point where both wings meet, a rich fuchsia-pink satin bow becomes the focal point, its wide, glossy loops artfully arranged with two ribbon tails falling loosely across the flowers. Tucked into the heart of this bow is a single pink rosebud, its tightly wound petals symbolising enduring love, admiration, and the preciousness of memory. Just below, a small spray of deep violet thistle-like heads and textured foliage provides a strong contrast in both colour and form, adding emotional depth and a sense of resilience. This angel wing arrangement, ideal for funerals and remembrance services in and around Purley, feels like a comforting embrace in floral form, offering a gentle, visually soothing way for families to say farewell while honouring a cherished life with grace.

JAMAICAN FLAG TRIBUTE
JAMAICAN FLAG TRIBUTE
£150.00
A large Star of David floral tribute is presented in full, set cleanly against a white background that mirrors the calm, open skies often seen above Purley's tree-lined streets. The six-pointed star is unmistakable, built entirely from small, fresh flowers placed so closely together that they form a continuous surface of petals and colour. A broad, soft border of white chrysanthemums traces the outer edges, giving each point a rounded, cushioned feel while still preserving the sharp geometry of the design. Within this border, the central section of the star is filled with a solid white hexagon, its dense mass of blossoms suggesting purity, light, and remembrance. Extending outward from this centre, the six points are rendered in dark blue or indigo blooms, tightly packed to create a deep, velvety field that contrasts powerfully with the surrounding white. At the base of each navy triangular arm, a smaller triangle of white flowers appears, folded into the blue like a subtle pattern on ceremonial fabric, adding complexity and visual interest. The alternating play of white and blue reflects familiar Jewish colours, making this tribute especially appropriate for funerals, memorial services, or shiva gatherings for families around Purley, Kenley, or Coulsdon. The arrangement is lit evenly, with no visible stems or mechanics, so the eye is drawn solely to the star's balanced form and the richness of its texture. Every petal placement suggests the careful hand of a florist used to creating bespoke sympathy tributes, someone who understands how flowers can quietly carry faith, tradition, and the weight of shared memories.

£190.00
This image captures a classic heart-shaped sympathy arrangement, photographed from above so every detail of the design is clearly visible. The heart is entirely built from white chrysanthemums, also known as spray mums, set closely together to form a seamless, pillowy surface. Each bloom is fresh and full, with many layered petals that give the heart a soft, almost velvety appearance, ideal for expressing gentle condolences at a Purley memorial service or wake. The white colour is steady and pure, evoking peace, innocence, and an unspoken promise to remember. Around the outside of the heart runs a deep green satin ribbon, pleated into neat, regular folds that ripple like small waves. This ruffled border adds a sense of craftsmanship and care, its emerald shade reminiscent of the mature trees and parks around Purley Way and Riddlesdown. The ribbon's soft sheen frames the flowers in a refined, almost ceremonial way, clearly defining the heart's outline. In the upper left arc of the heart, a carefully composed accent cluster draws the eye. Two white roses, fully open and luminous, form the main focal point. Their petals curl outward in smooth layers, suggesting enduring love and gratitude for a life lived. Around them, smaller white blooms-similar to freesias or other light, airy flowers-are interwoven with lush greenery. Broad, glossy leaves lend structure and depth, while feathery fronds stretch gently across the chrysanthemums, breaking up the smooth white surface with hints of natural movement. The arrangement as a whole feels calm and dignified, the sort of piece that might accompany a casket or be placed beside a photograph at a Purley Florist-arranged tribute, offering visual comfort and heartfelt sympathy to grieving families.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
Displayed on a pure white backdrop, this floral cross appears almost to float, its form captured from above with a gentle diagonal tilt that lends movement and grace. The outline is meticulously defined by a plush border of white spray chrysanthemums, each small head nestled tightly against the next to create a soft, cushion-like frame around the arms and base. Peeking just beyond this border is a narrow band of light green ribbon or folded foliage, following the contours of the cross and adding a refined edge of fresh, leafy colour that recalls the tree-lined avenues around Purley and nearby parks. Within this soothing frame, the centre of the cross bursts with colour and texture. Large roses in vivid hot pink and creamy pale yellow are arranged in balanced clusters, their fully opened petals spiralling outward and catching the light, symbolising love and cherished memories. Between these focal blooms, bright lime-green button chrysanthemums are grouped into compact mounds, their rounded, bobbly texture giving a contemporary feel to this traditional tribute. Threaded delicately among the roses and green chrysanthemums are smaller flowers in rich purple and violet tones, probably lisianthus or statice, filling gaps and lending both depth and subtle contrast. The lighting is bright and even, so each bloom looks fresh and vibrant, as though it has just been prepared in a local Purley studio for same-day funeral delivery. Overall, the cross conveys a deeply respectful yet uplifting mood, suitable for a church service, chapel of rest, or graveside farewell, offering comfort to grieving families while honouring the faith and life of their loved one.
PRECIOUS MEMORY CROSS
£95.00
A large, reverent floral representation of the Sikh Khanda symbol stands out clearly against a bright white background, every curve and edge shaped with precision. The central sword, the round chakkar, and the two elegantly arching kirpans are all formed from densely packed royal blue chrysanthemums or similar small, clustered flowers. Their compact blooms create a lush, cushion-like texture, and the deep blue hue spreads evenly across the entire symbol, reminiscent of the evening sky seen from Purley's hills when the day begins to fade. Subtle shifts of light across the petals give the piece depth and a sense of gentle movement, while the clean white backdrop keeps the focus entirely on the tribute itself. Positioned at the lower section of the central sword, a contrasting floral accent offers a moment of softness amid the strong lines of the Khanda. Three pristine white roses, their petals smooth and softly unfurling, are grouped together, surrounded by airy sprays of tiny white filler blooms that look like a delicate halo. Around this central cluster, dark green foliage provides a rich, natural frame, its leaves adding both colour contrast and a feeling of freshness. The entire tribute casts faint shadows, suggesting a raised, well-supported base and careful construction by experienced hands. This floral Khanda would be especially fitting for Sikh funeral services, memorial gatherings, or remembrance events held in and around Purley, from quiet residential streets near Woodcote Valley Road to local places of worship. It conveys a message of steadfast faith, dignity, and heartfelt sympathy, offering comfort to families as they honour their loved one's heritage and beliefs.
BLUE KHANDA SIKH TRIBUTE
£190.00
A striking heart-shaped floral tribute is presented against a bright white background, every bloom and curve visible as if it has just been set down by a careful Purley florist preparing for a quiet service near Foxley Lane. The heart itself is perfectly proportioned, with a precise vertical division that creates two complementary halves. On the left side, tightly massed creamy white and soft pale yellow roses form a serene expanse of light, the petals thick and velvety, opening in smooth spirals that suggest purity, peace, and fond recollection. Opposite them, on the right, an equally dense grouping of medium pink roses balances the design, their shades reminiscent of a gentle sunset over Surrey skies, the petals a touch more curled at the edges to give a feeling of softness and intimacy. Interlaced throughout both halves, and delicately outlining the full curve of the heart, are countless tiny white blossoms of gypsophila. These airy clusters gather like a fine lace edging, filling any gaps between the roses and adding a light, cloud-like frame that softens the strong heart silhouette. The overall impression is of great care and intention, the type of arrangement chosen when families in Purley want to express love and gratitude at a funeral or memorial. The simplicity of the background keeps all attention on the flowers, allowing the gentle contrast between cream and pink to convey both sorrow and solace, making this heart a tender, dignified farewell for someone deeply cherished.
INFINITY ROSE HEART
£105.00
Three interlinked hearts made entirely of roses descend in a gentle diagonal across a clean white backdrop, creating a touching sympathy tribute that feels especially suited to a quiet chapel in Purley. Each heart is built from dozens of closely packed roses in muted dusty lavender, soft mauve, and pale pastel pink, giving the overall design a romantic yet understated character. The petals are velvety and layered, forming a dense surface that looks almost like fabric, with subtle changes in tone where one bloom overlaps another. Among the fully opened flowers, smaller buds peek through, adding texture and a sense of life continuing to unfold. Fresh green ivy frames the outline of every heart, its slender stems and pointed leaves tracing each curve with precision before looping down to connect one heart to the next. This continuous trail of greenery creates a visual thread, suggesting the enduring bonds of family, friendship, and shared memories. The hearts appear to float in front of the white background, which is softly illuminated, free of clutter, and reminiscent of the light, airy interiors of many Purley funeral chapels and community spaces. On the left edge of the image, faint vertical reflections hint at a glass or acrylic panel, adding depth and giving the impression that the arrangement may be mounted on a stand or display easel. The composition as a whole conveys calm, gentle sorrow and quiet gratitude, making it an appropriate tribute to be delivered to services and crematoria around Purley, Kenley, and nearby South Croydon, where families gather to say a dignified farewell.
APPRECIATED & ADMIRED CASKET HEARTS
£120.00
COLOURFUL GARLAND 1
COLOURFUL GARLAND
£75.00
Captured from an oblique, slightly raised viewpoint on a clean white field, this classic pillow-shaped memorial arrangement is a compact, lovingly constructed quilt of fresh flowers. Dominant hot pink roses draw the eye with their lush, velveteen petals - some curled in tight buds, others unfurling in full bloom - while shell-pink carnations weave a soft, ruffled texture between them. Pockets of rich purple lisianthus lend depth and gentle shadow, and bright lemon-yellow ranunculus provide cheerful highlights that catch the light like tiny beacons. The composition is thoughtfully interrupted by steel-blue eryngium thistles, which introduce an unexpected spiky geometry and a cooler tonality that plays beautifully against the warmer pinks. Eucalyptus leaves, round and silvery, and varied green fillers give the arrangement a hushed, aromatic undercurrent and lend structural depth.

A pleated, ruffled band of deep red satin encircles the base, defining the rectangular cushion with an elegant border and elevating the piece beyond a simple bouquet into a formal tribute. The overall mood is one of tender remembrance rather than stark mourning - a floral embrace that celebrates memory and love. As Purley Florist, we design these sympathetic cushions with a focus on balance, scent, and proportion, often chosen for services at local chapels or placed at a graveside near Purley High Street or Purley Oaks. The arrangement feels like a fragrant, supportive presence in the room, offering solace and colour in equal measure.
COMFORTING FEELING
£95.00
This image shows a beautifully composed, heart-shaped floral arrangement photographed against a clean, white background so that the colours and textures stand out with clarity. The heart is densely filled with fresh flowers in soft shades of blush pink, creamy white, pale lemon and deep magenta, a gentle palette that feels perfectly suited to quiet moments of remembrance in Purley's family chapels and churches. At the centre, large rose blooms in cream and pale yellow unfurl with elegant precision, their spiralling petals thick and velvety, suggesting warmth, respect and a love that endures beyond goodbye. These roses are cradled in a generous bed of pastel pink carnations, whose multi-layered, ruffled petals overlap to form a soft, cloud-like surface, giving definition to the heart's curves and adding a comforting sense of fullness. Interspersed amongst the carnations are bright white spider chrysanthemums, their long, spiky petals radiating from fresh green centres and adding fine, starburst-like detail that enlivens the design. Dotted thoughtfully through the arrangement, clusters of deep magenta lisianthus introduce a richer, more saturated note, their softly ruffled, bell-shaped blooms adding emotional depth and visual contrast. Small sprigs of variegated green foliage peek out here and there, lending the piece a natural, garden-fresh quality, as if the flowers might have been gathered from a well-loved border near Purley Oaks or along Brighton Road. At the very tip of the heart's lower point, the faint glimpse of a pink ribbon can be seen, indicating that this is a considered sympathy tribute, suitable for placing beside a coffin, urn or memorial photo. Overall, the composition feels gentle, dignified and carefully crafted by a local florist who understands how floral tributes can express compassion when words are difficult.
DEEPLY ADORED HEART
£89.00
A carefully crafted memorial pillow, photographed on a clean white backdrop so every texture and hue is clear. The rectangular cushion is composed entirely of tiny, snow-white chrysanthemum blooms (or similar small button flowers), laid densely to create a uniform, cloud-like surface that suggests peace and repose. Anchoring the visual interest is a tasteful cluster in the upper-left quadrant: rich magenta or deep fuchsia roses with layered, velvety petals, paired with sprigs of small white freesias or delicate buds that add a light, fragrant counterpoint. Interspersed among these are glossy green leaves and ferny fronds that lend an organic silhouette and a soothing contrast to the white field. Around the pillow's edge a soft green satin ribbon has been pleated or looped to form a refined border, the ribbon's faint sheen offering a quiet, ceremonial touch and subtle colour echoing local greenery. The bouquet maker's hand is evident in the balanced placement of blooms and foliage-no element competes, each supports the other to convey reverence and calm. A soft, natural shadow beneath the pillow gives depth and affirms its three-dimensional presence, as if ready to be placed beside a casket or at a graveside on a gentle morning in Purley or near Riddlesdown Common. This arrangement reads as a dignified, empathetic expression of sympathy, intended to cradle memories and offer comfort when words are not enough.
DEEPLY CHERISHED CUSHION
£135.00
Seen against a crisp white background, this heart-shaped floral piece presents an intimate portrait of devotion-dozens of saturated, almost velvety red roses are packed to form the heart's rounded planes, each bloom at a slightly different stage so the eye reads movement and life rather than a static surface. Fine clusters of baby's breath (Gypsophila) drift in-between the larger roses, their tiny white stars creating pockets of luminosity that make the crimson seem even deeper and more sensual. In the upper-left curve a single, dignified white lily opens with large smooth petals that show a subtle cream at the center and reveal golden-yellow stamens, providing an elegant counterpoint and a quiet brightness that draws the gaze. The textural contrast - plush rose petals, gossamer gypsophila, and the lily's waxy planes - invites one to imagine the touch: soft, yielding roses; papery, fragile baby's breath; and the lily's cool, smooth surface. As a local florist familiar with Purley and its streets around Purley Oaks and the station, Purley Florist composes pieces like this for anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or heartfelt apologies, and arranges them to travel well for same-day delivery across Purley, Kenley, and nearby Croydon neighborhoods. The white backdrop isolates the bouquet so its colours read bold and true, while the craftsmanship suggests both technical skill and a personal intention to comfort and celebrate in equal measure.
DEVOTED HEART
£130.00
This carefully composed, heart-shaped floral arrangement is photographed against a spotless white background, making its rich reds and crisp greens appear especially vivid. Dominating the design are several large, deep red roses, their tightly furled centres and velvety petals unfolding with an almost sculptural elegance, each bloom acting as an anchor point for the eye. Surrounding and weaving between these roses are numerous red carnations, their smaller, ruffled heads creating a soft yet structured texture, building a sense of abundance and warmth. Bright lime-green button chrysanthemums are dotted throughout, their compact, spherical florets injecting a lively contrast to the passionate reds, much like pockets of green parkland around Purley break up rows of red-brick houses. A subtle collar of variegated foliage, with leaves that are green through the centre and edged in creamy white, gently outlines the heart and gives it definition against the background, while a few delicate fern fronds emerge at the lower tip, adding grace and a touch of the natural wildness you might find on walks near Kenley Common. The overall composition is symmetrical and full, with no empty spaces, conveying a sense of completeness and steadfast affection. The lighting is soft and diffuse, avoiding harsh shadows and allowing every detail of petal and leaf to be clearly seen. Created in a style familiar to those who order sympathy flowers in Purley for local services or family gatherings, this floral heart is well suited as a funeral tribute, a memorial display, or a deeply personal gesture of comfort and respect, holding within it both sorrow and enduring love.
ENDURING LOVE HEART
£95.00
This photograph captures a serene funeral cross arrangement set against a pure, uncluttered white background, reminiscent of a quiet chapel space in Purley on an overcast day. The cross is meticulously composed from hundreds of white spray chrysanthemums, pressed closely together until they merge into a continuous blanket of petals. The texture appears velvety and comforting, symbolizing purity and the gentle embrace of remembrance. Each bloom's small green center adds the softest flicker of colour, barely there yet essential to the sense of living freshness. The cross is edged with a narrow lime-green ribbon, whose bright, clean line crisply defines the shape and echoes the fresh greens found in local parks such as Riddlesdown and Purley Beeches. At the point where the cross's arms meet, an opulent cluster of deep purple lisianthus provides a dramatic counterpoint to the white base. The lisianthus blossoms are multi-petaled and slightly ruffled, some wide open, some still cupped as buds, suggesting both the fullness of a life lived and the continuing journey beyond. Threads of soft, variegated foliage and tiny filler blooms wind through this purple centerpiece, giving the composition movement and natural charm. From this focal area, a gentle spray of lisianthus flowers and buds trails along the lower arm of the cross, adding direction and a sense of flow. Photographed from an overhead angle, the cross casts a delicate shadow that lifts it from the background without diminishing its calm simplicity. This thoughtfully designed floral tribute would sit beautifully in a church near Purley High Street, at a crematorium chapel, or by a graveside, conveying sympathy, respect, and quiet hope to grieving families.
EVERLASTING MEMORY CROSS
£90.00
An elegant Christian cross fashioned from tightly packed white chrysanthemums, the surface soft and even like a cloud, set against a stark white background to heighten every detail. A pleated deep purple satin ribbon runs around the entire edge, its ruffle lending a refined, mournful border that complements the central colour story. The vertical arm bears the word "MUM" rendered in small, concentrated purple blooms-probably eustoma or miniature spray chrysanthemums-where each letter is sculpted to be legible and tenderly personal against the white field. The focal cluster at the centre is a rich bouquet of deep violet and lavender roses with pale purple lisianthus, their layered petals creating a lush, dimensional core; interspersed variegated foliage with light green margins and darker centres adds crisp texture while tiny green berries and fine sprigs provide delicate contrast. The cool tones and dense petal textures convey dignity, serenity and the tactile comfort of an embrace. As a Purley florist I picture this tribute requested for a chapel service near Purley High Street or placed gently on a graveside at a local cemetery; it reads as both classic and intimate. The subtle fragrance of roses and lisianthus, the satin sheen of the ribbon, and the careful hand-placement of each chrysanthemum speak of experienced craftsmanship and thoughtful consolation, making it a fitting floral expression of remembrance and enduring affection.
