SPRAYS/SHEAVES
This refined sympathy spray, photographed against a crisp white background, feels like a quiet gesture of remembrance, the kind of arrangement you might see resting on a coffin at a chapel near Upper Street or set beside a framed photograph in an Islington townhouse. The design tapers gently from left to right, taking on an elongated teardrop or leaf shape that guides the eye along its length. At the heart of the piece are sumptuous deep red roses, their velvety petals opening at different stages, interwoven with bold red gerbera daisies whose darker centres add definition. Clusters of red carnations nestle between them, their finely frilled petals giving the composition softness and density. Bright lime green chrysanthemum pompons are scattered judiciously throughout, spherical and almost jewel-like, offering a lively yet respectful contrast to the rich reds. Delicate white filler flowers, scattered like a fine mist, soften the transitions between the colours and add a sense of light and air. All of this rests upon a foundation of lush greenery: broad, polished leaves providing structure, feathery ferns spilling gently at the edges, and other mixed foliage adding subtle layers of texture. At the lower right, long, sword-like leaves fan gracefully outward, reinforcing the arrangement's elegant line. At the upper left, upright green stems gathered into a small bundle, with one wide leaf artfully wrapped around, introduce a contemporary, almost architectural element. Crafted with the care of a local florist familiar with Islington's intimate venues and family farewells, this spray feels both traditional and modern, expressing sympathy, respect, and enduring love through its thoughtful blend of colour, shape, and movement.

An elongated sympathy spray of white lilies and lisianthus is captured against a bright white background, its teardrop shape flowing diagonally from a fuller cluster of flowers at the upper left to a narrow, tapering point at the lower right. The design suggests a natural, downward drift, like a gesture of farewell placed with care in a chapel or quiet room in Islington. At the heart of the composition, white oriental lilies open in generous star-like blooms, each petal soft and slightly curved, leading the eye toward their light yellow-green stamens. Some lilies are in full, open splendour, while others remain in smooth, elongated buds, their tips gently parting to hint at blossoms yet to come. Interspersed among these larger blooms are elegant lisianthus flowers. Their white petals are finer and more ruffled, with many edged in subtle tones of lavender or soft purple, creating a gentle play of colour and shadow, reminiscent of the pastel tones often seen along Islington's side streets at sunset. Clusters of lisianthus buds contribute additional texture and a sense of layered depth. Supporting this floral display is an abundance of greenery, carefully arranged to shape and frame the spray. Broad, dark green leaves form a sturdy, glossy base; some are folded and rolled to create neat, architectural accents that add sophistication. Long palm fronds and slender, spear-like greens sweep outward, especially from the right side, extending the line of the arrangement and enhancing its feeling of gentle movement. This thoughtful tribute, reminiscent of arrangements crafted by experienced florists near Upper Street and Canonbury, feels both serene and heartfelt, ideal for honouring a loved one and conveying condolences across the Islington community.

Against a spotless white background, this striking funeral spray draws the eye with its river-like sweep of deep red blooms and lush greenery. The arrangement is shaped into a classic elongated teardrop, wider and fuller on the upper left, then gradually narrowing into a gentle, trailing point on the lower right, as though the flowers were caught mid-cascade. The main focus is a profusion of velvety red roses, open just enough to reveal their layered hearts without losing their neat, rounded form. Among them, smaller red spray carnations nestle, their fringed, ruffled petals introducing a delicate contrast in both shape and shade, adding light and shadow within the field of crimson. The flowers sit within a generous collar of foliage. Dark green leaves, broad and glossy, provide a stable frame, anchoring the spray with a sense of formality and respect. Threaded among them, rounded eucalyptus leaves in soft, silvery tones cool the palette and enhance the depth of the design. From the narrow tip, fine trails of lighter green foliage reach outward and downward, giving a sense of motion and an almost whisper-like farewell. The arrangement feels serene and contemplative, reminiscent of a quiet moment along a side street off Upper Street or a still corner near Highbury Fields. This is the sort of red sympathy spray that would bring a touch of warmth and honour to a funeral or memorial service in Islington, thoughtfully arranged to convey compassion, remembrance, and the enduring strength of family ties.

Set against a clean white backdrop, this elongated funeral sheaf appears almost like a painted stroke of colour, its diagonal line leading the eye from the bound stems at the top left down to the tapered tip at the bottom right, evoking a soft, falling tear. It would feel at home in an Islington memorial setting, from intimate services off Essex Road to quieter corners near Canonbury. At the heart of the design, magnificent Stargazer lilies open wide, displaying rich fuchsia-pink petals edged with crisp white, each one speckled with deep burgundy markings that add drama and emotional weight. Some lilies remain in bud, pale green with hints of pink, suggesting that love and memory continue to unfold. Around them, bold magenta gerbera daisies provide a strong hit of colour and a sense of cherished moments, while creamy white roses, mostly in tight buds, add softness and quiet dignity. Fluffy white carnations fill the composition, their ruffled petals lending a comforting, tactile quality. Tiny white daisy-style fillers twine through the design, offering light, airy touches and subtle texture. The foliage is rich and layered: broad, dark green leaves form a structured base and arc around the blooms; feathery fern fronds introduce movement and depth; and long, grass-like leaves sweep downwards and outwards, accentuating the sheaf's cascading form. The overall palette balances vivid pinks with serene whites and deep greens, creating a tribute that feels both respectful and gently hopeful. Crafted with care by a local Islington florist, this spray would sit gracefully beside a coffin or memorial display, conveying sympathy, admiration, and remembrance without the need for words.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY

Set against a plain white background, this elongated teardrop funeral spray appears both soft and composed, like a final handwritten letter translated into flowers. The design is built around a harmonious pairing of pastel pink roses and clean white carnations. The roses show different stages of bloom, from small, rounded buds to fully open flowers with layered petals that give a sense of depth and tenderness. Between them, the carnations add volume and a distinct ruffled texture, their pure white petals billowing gently like small clouds among the smoother rose forms. All of the blossoms are gathered tightly, creating a continuous blanket of colour and texture that runs from the broad, rounded top of the spray to its delicately pointed tip. Beneath the flowers, a bed of rich greenery offers support and contrast. Shiny dark green leaves shape the overall outline, while clusters of silvery-green eucalyptus leaves bring a softer tone and a suggestion of cool fragrance. Slim trailing stems, likely ruscus or a similar foliage, extend from the tapered end, giving the piece a subtle cascading motion that feels calm and natural. The overall mood is of serene remembrance, making this spray especially fitting for a funeral or memorial service in Islington, perhaps at a church near Angel or a quiet crematorium service for families from Canonbury or Barnsbury. The arrangement has that careful, thoughtful look associated with experienced local florists, reflecting both love and respect without being overly showy, offering a gentle floral presence to accompany heartfelt tributes and shared memories.

An elegant sympathy spray in shades of white and green is arranged diagonally across a stark white backdrop, composed with the thoughtful precision of an Islington florist preparing blooms for a service near Upper Street or a quiet farewell by Highbury Fields. The design offers a one-sided view, gently widening into a lush central cluster before tapering into a slimmer, more pointed tip. In the centre, large white Oriental lilies command attention, their smooth, slightly arched petals opening like soft trumpets around pale yellow-green stamens. Some blossoms are fully open, while others remain in tall, closed buds, giving a sense of unfolding time. Around them, creamy white roses nestle together, from tight buds to partially open flowers whose layered petals create a tender, cupped form. White carnations, with their fine, serrated petals, add familiar comfort, and scattered white daisy-like Gerberas brighten the arrangement with their clean, radial petals and understated centres in cream or pale yellow. Delicate white filler flowers shimmer in the spaces between, adding airiness and visual softness. The flowers sit upon a generous bed of foliage: glossy dark leaves catch the light and define the shape, feathery fern fronds lend a gentle woodland grace, and rounded eucalyptus leaves contribute cool, muted green-blue tones. Near the top, some long, narrow leaves have been carefully folded and bound, adding an architectural detail that feels modern yet understated. From the lower right, slender palm fronds extend outward in a graceful sweep, giving the piece its distinctive elongated outline and a sense of quiet movement. This composed tribute, with its tranquil whites and greens, is ideal for funerals, memorial services, or cremation ceremonies across the Islington area, offering a message of peace, respect, and enduring love.

Set diagonally across a luminous white canvas, this arrangement captures both elegance and inner calm, echoing the serene atmosphere of Islington's hidden garden squares. In the spotlight are pristine white lilies, petals curled open to reveal light-catching golden stamens, with their closed buds promising future beauty. These are surrounded by a chorus of vibrant pink roses, some in tight bud, others unfolding in soft, velvety layers-a gentle tribute to lasting memory. Small, frilled white spray carnations nestle between, offering delicate volume, while bright green button chrysanthemums bring tactile interest and a burst of contemporary energy, reminiscent of the vibrant greenery along Regent's Canal. The artistry continues with broad, glossy leaves, thoughtfully folded, and slender palm fronds that arc and trail to emphasize the dramatic cascade. Sprigs of lively lighter foliage mingle with splashes of shiny red hypericum berries, creating dynamic color contrast. The bouquet's structure, a blend of formal lines and natural motion, imparts quiet dignity and heartfelt solace-ideal for a funeral, memorial, or an expression of sympathy to friends or family in Islington. Each choice of bloom and leaf showcases the dedication of a talented local florist, reflecting both tradition and the community's unique pulse.

An elegant cascading spray is pictured against a plain white ground, its form sweeping in a diagonal arc from the top left corner toward the lower right in a poised, almost river-like flow. The main feature is a generous collection of roses, their heads fully open and velvety. Half are a vivid, sapphire blue that seems to deepen toward the centre of each bloom, while the others are creamy white and ivory, radiating a gentle glow. Together, the colours create a composed contrast, suggesting both grief and solace, the way a hushed moment might feel outside a church or registry office in Islington after a farewell service. Fine clusters of white baby's breath nestle among the roses, filling small pockets of space and bringing a light, cloud-like softness to the design. Supporting this is an abundant foundation of greenery. Broad, dark leaves provide structure and depth, while bright green fern fronds lift and fan from the upper left, adding feathery texture. From the lower right, sleek palm fronds sweep outward and down, defining the piece's teardrop silhouette and lending a sense of gentle downward motion, as though bowing in respect. Tucked within the composition are sprigs of bluish-green, eucalyptus-style foliage, their cooler tones and rounded leaves offering another layer of visual interest. Carefully shaped bands of striped green and cream foliage or ribbon coil around selected sections, giving a tailored, contemporary detail amidst the natural forms. The arrangement exudes quiet formality and tenderness, an ideal choice for a sympathy spray or coffin tribute delivered to local chapels and crematoriums across Islington, offering a message of peace, loyalty, and heartfelt remembrance.
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY

This image shows a dignified funeral flower spray laid out on a pure white background, allowing each element to be appreciated without distraction, as if it were prepared for a serene service in Islington. The arrangement has a long, mounded profile, with its left side more densely packed and its right side tapering gently into a soft, trailing finish. Deep crimson roses emerge from the design at regular intervals, their tightly layered petals giving them a sculpted, almost solemn presence that conveys profound affection and grief. Nestled amongst them, white carnations open into soft, frilled blooms, their many ruffles forming a cushion-like texture that softens the stronger lines of the roses and suggests peace and gentle remembrance. Underneath and around the flowers is a rich mixture of greenery: broad, dark-green leaves create the main structure and give the spray a solid, reassuring base, while paler, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves are tucked throughout, bringing lighter tones and a faint sense of cool, aromatic freshness, not unlike the air on a quiet morning walk through Barnard Park. From the right-hand edge, slender, trailing stems of foliage extend outward, giving the arrangement a graceful, cascading profile and a feeling of forward movement, as if accompanying a final procession. The controlled colour palette of red, white, and varied greens produces a classic and respectful look, ideal for casket adornment or to rest beside a photograph at a memorial. For families in Islington and nearby areas, this style of spray offers a heartfelt, beautifully balanced floral tribute that honours a loved one with quiet elegance and sincerity.

Photographed on a clean white background, this long, diagonal funeral spray of red roses and greenery has a quiet, stately presence that echoes the calm streets and leafy squares of Islington. The arrangement centres around a line of deep red roses, their petals densely layered and velvety, arranged so that buds, half-open blooms, and fully open flowers intermingle along the length of the piece. This subtle variation in size and openness gives the design a natural, breathing rhythm, as if it were caught in a still moment of farewell. Between the roses, clusters of coral-pink Hypericum berries add pockets of softer colour, each berry smooth and rounded, catching the light and bringing a gentle sparkle of texture. The entire composition is cradled by rich green foliage: broad, glossy leaves form a dark, supportive frame that defines the profile of the spray, while finer greens thread through to fill and soften the spaces. At the lower right, feathery palm fronds extend outwards, their slender segments fanning gently and accentuating the elongated, slightly tapered silhouette associated with traditional sympathy designs. The stems at the upper left are drawn together with precision and wrapped in a wide band of folded green leaf, lending the tribute a composed, professional finish that speaks of experienced floristry. Against the white backdrop, the contrast between the intense reds and deep greens becomes even more pronounced, focusing attention on the beauty of each bloom and leaf. Created by Flowers Islington for local services across areas like Angel, Barnsbury, and Canonbury, this spray feels like a quiet promise of remembrance, suited to resting beside a coffin or adorning a memorial service with understated grace.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY

A serene white funeral spray rests diagonally against a spotless white background, its composition flowing from a full, gathered head on the upper left to an elegant, tapering tail on the lower right. The arrangement is dominated by white and ivory roses, their petals unfurling in delicate spirals that range from tight, hopeful buds to expansive open blooms. Interspersed among the roses are frilled white carnations, their ruffled texture adding both softness and visual depth, like small clouds nestled between the more structured blossoms. The flowers emerge from a foundation of lush greenery: cool, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave in and out, while deeper, richer greens provide a strong base. Long, slender fronds of ruscus stretch beyond the main cluster, tracing a gentle, downward curve that gives the spray its classic teardrop silhouette. The overall palette of whites and greens feels calm and balanced, with soft shadows hinting at the three-dimensional shape of each petal and leaf. There is no distraction in the image, only the quiet dignity of the flowers themselves. This is the kind of sympathy tribute that could be delivered to a service in Islington, perhaps near Angel or around Barnsbury, where families gather to share memories and say goodbye. The design's understated beauty reflects empathy and care, offering a comforting focal point during a funeral or memorial. It suggests the work of a local florist attuned to the community's needs, crafting arrangements that honour a life with grace, tenderness, and respectful simplicity.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00

A beautifully composed sympathy spray of yellow roses and red berries is pictured on a bright white background, the simplicity of the setting drawing attention to the thoughtful detail of each bloom and leaf. The arrangement is designed in a flowing diagonal, starting with a compact, structured cluster at the top left, where the stems are bound and wrapped in rich green foliage, then gently tapering down to the lower right. Along this line, a generous grouping of yellow roses provides the main focus. Approximately fifteen to twenty blooms are woven through the design, each at a different stage of opening: some are closed buds with smooth, rounded forms, while others unfold into spirals of velvety petals, revealing deeper tones of gold at their centres. Their sunny yet soft yellow hue suggests warmth, companionship, and quiet remembrance, much like the welcoming feel of small streets off Upper Street or around Canonbury in Islington. Interlaced with the roses are numerous clusters of small, round, vivid red berries, reminiscent of Hypericum. These berries sit snugly among the leaves, their polished surfaces creating bright points of contrast against the petals and greenery. The spray is supported by a base of lush foliage, with broad, dark green leaves carefully folded and layered at the upper left to build a strong, textural backdrop. From the lower right, long, slender fronds resembling palm leaves extend outward, their fine, pointed leaflets forming an elegant, sweeping curve that adds movement and poise. Soft, even lighting accentuates the natural gloss of the berries, the subtle veins in the leaves, and the gentle curves of each rose. The overall impression is one of grace, respect, and comforting beauty, suitable for funerals, cremations, or memorial gatherings across Islington.

Set against a pure white background, this elegant sympathy spray stretches diagonally in a classic casket shape, full and rounded at the top left and drawing the eye down toward a tapered, whisper-light point at the lower right. The design is densely composed of soft pink roses, whose velvety petals unfurl in gentle spirals, mingling shades of blush, powder pink, and muted rose. Between the roses, light peach-pink carnations nestle closely, their frilled, ruffled edges adding a plush texture that makes the arrangement appear both abundant and soothing. The flowers are cradled by a base of deep green foliage: broad leaves, polished to a soft sheen, form a strong, reassuring outline, while more delicate, elongated leaves and sprigs of greenery weave through the centre and drift from the edges, enhancing the spray's flowing line. The palette is hushed and comforting, like early morning light over Islington's quiet residential streets or a still moment in a local church near Holloway Road. You can almost imagine the gentle scent of the roses and carnations lingering in the air as this piece rests beside a casket or on a memorial stand. The craftsmanship suggests an experienced florist's hand, attentive to balance and harmony, mindful of creating a tribute that expresses love, sympathy, and gratitude.

A richly detailed red sympathy spray stretches across a white background, its long, gently tapering form suggesting a casket spray or prominent memorial tribute suitable for a farewell in Islington. At its centre, a generous collection of deep red blooms gather closely, creating a sense of fullness and intimacy. Velvety red roses stand out first, some just opening and others completely unfurled, their spiralling petals catching the light and drawing the gaze along the length of the design. Around them, red carnations fill the spaces with their soft, ruffled heads, providing plush volume and a comforting, traditional feel. Red gerbera daisies are scattered through the mix, their flat, round faces and darker centres adding a more modern, graphic touch without disturbing the solemn mood. Speckled here and there, tiny white filler flowers act like breaths of light, easing the intensity of the red while adding depth and dimension. Near the top-centre, a wide red satin ribbon is fashioned into a multi-loop bow, its glossy loops and flowing streamers weaving gently among the flowers, like a final, loving gesture. Supporting this river of red, an abundance of greenery fans outwards: long palm fronds create a structured outline, extending from the base and sides, while shorter, darker leaves and fine fern-like fronds fill the interior, crafting a natural, layered backdrop. The overall effect, shown under bright, even lighting, is polished yet emotive. Perfect for services throughout Islington, from quiet ceremonies near Highbury Fields to gatherings around Angel and Upper Street, this red floral spray carries a clear message of courage, respect, and heartfelt remembrance.

A large, double-ended casket spray for a funeral or memorial is captured against a clean white background, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the richness of its colours and the care in its design. The arrangement stretches gracefully, fuller at one side and gradually narrowing, creating a soft diagonal movement reminiscent of a life gently coming to rest. Deep red stargazer lilies, with their star-shaped, outward-reaching petals flecked with darker markings, stand proudly among the other blooms, offering a strong, heartfelt presence. Surrounding them are clusters of cream, ivory, and soft pink roses, some still cupped in bud and others fully open, their layers of petals suggesting tenderness and treasured memories. Between them, palest pink carnations and small white daisy-like blossoms fill the gaps, adding ruffled texture and a sense of abundance that would feel at home in a calm Islington farewell gathering. Cool blue-purple thistles and delicate lavender-blue filler flowers are interspersed through the piece, their spiky and airy forms adding contrast, interest, and a quietly modern note. A generous bed of deep green foliage, made up of broad, glossy leaves and airy, fern-like sprigs, frames the flowers and extends slightly beyond at the ends, softening the overall silhouette. Under soft, even lighting, each bloom appears freshly arranged, as if just completed by Flowers Islington for same-day delivery to a local church near Angel or a funeral home on a side street off Holloway Road. The finished spray feels both comforting and dignified, a thoughtful floral expression of sympathy and remembrance for families in the Islington community.

The image shows an elegant funeral spray laid on a pure white surface, composed in a sweeping diagonal that begins with a tight cluster of stems at the upper left and tapers delicately towards the lower right. The arrangement is lush and layered, built from a soothing yet expressive palette of pinks, fuchsias, magentas, purples and whites. Generous gerbera daisies, some in gentle baby pink and others in more saturated fuchsia and magenta shades, create strong focal points, their circular petals radiating a quiet optimism. Intertwined with them are graceful pink roses, each bud tightly furled into a perfect spiral, evoking the timeless elegance of traditional sympathy flowers often seen at memorial services around Islington Green or the quieter side streets off Essex Road. Between these main blooms, clusters of soft, ruffled white flowers - likely petite carnations or dianthus - fill out the spray and introduce a comforting, cushion-like texture. Small sprays of tiny white daisy-style blossoms weave through the design, their dainty faces adding lightness and an almost playful note to the otherwise serene tribute. Bright red hypericum berries punctuate the arrangement, offering subtle pops of colour and a rounded, natural texture that contrasts with the smooth petals. The foliage forms a generous, textural backdrop: broad, shiny dark green leaves create a solid base; feathery ferns bring an airy, organic feeling; and rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery green thread through the flowers, hinting at a clean, refreshing fragrance. From the lower right corner, long palm fronds reach outward, accentuating the cascading impression and lending a sense of movement. At the top left, the banded stems are visible, evidence of the florist's careful, hand-tied work. This thoughtfully composed spray would sit beautifully at a funeral or wake in Islington, offering a message of compassion, gratitude and lasting love.
