Viewed from above on a clean white field, this compact, perfectly round bouquet presents a study in white and cream harmonies. At its heart sit several substantial white oriental-style lilies, their generous petals opening wide and revealing delicate pale green stamens and the faintest wash of colour at the throat that lends depth to each bloom. Encircling and nestling between the lilies are many cream-toned roses, most kept intentionally in bud or a subtle half-bloom, their layered petals forming plush, textured pockets that invite closer inspection. Filigree-like tufts of Baby's Breath are distributed throughout the composition, their tiny white flowers creating a soft, clouded infill that both separates and unifies the larger blooms. A smattering of fresh green foliage edges the composition, the leaves' vivid colour acting as a quiet frame against the monochrome blossoms. The lighting is gentle and diffuse, smoothing shadows and allowing the interplay between satin lily petals and velvety rose faces to read clearly; one can almost imagine the lilies' sweet, lingering scent entwined with the classic aroma of roses. This arrangement reads as solemn yet celebratory - ideal for bridal bouquets, refined centrepieces, or gestures of sympathy - and carries a local sensibility for East London, evoking peaceful strolls from Roman Road to Victoria Park or the soft hush of a Sunday morning in Old Ford. It is a composition built on balance, restraint, and floral craft.

Seen from a top-down, aerial view on a pure white background, this round bouquet reads like a study in quiet perfection. Large, trumpet-shaped white lilies open boldly at the centre, their broad petals curving outward to reveal pale green stamens and the faintest touch of gold at the throat. Around and between those lilies nestle tight, cream-coloured roses - many held in elegant bud form or just beginning to unfurl - their velvety layers creating soft, petal-dense pockets that catch light differently from the lilies' satin sheen. Scattered throughout are feathery clusters of white Baby's Breath (Gypsophila), adding a frothy, cloud-like texture that breathes space into the dense composition and softens every edge. A few vivid green leaves peek modestly from beneath the blooms, particularly at the outer ring, introducing a crisp, botanical contrast that frames the bouquet without stealing its delicate neutrality. The lighting is soft and even, erasing harsh shadows and allowing the subtleties of ivory and cream to read as a single, harmonious palette. Scent is suggested rather than shown: the lilies' sweet, enveloping perfume would mingle with the powdery, classic aroma of roses and a hint of fresh greenery. The overall impression is one of refined simplicity and timeless celebration - a bridal round, a ceremonial centrepiece, or a dignified sympathy tribute. For neighbours walking past Victoria Park or browsing Roman Road Market, this arrangement conveys calm, purity, and an understated sense of occasion, crafted with a practised hand and an eye for balanced, classical beauty.

The Compassion Posy from Old Ford Florist is a serene white funeral and sympathy arrangement designed to express your deepest condolences with elegance and grace. This classic round posy features smooth white roses, white liliums and delicate gypsophila, carefully arranged to create a soft, heavenly look that brings comfort in times of loss.

Available in Original, Deluxe and Grand sizes (Grand size pictured), this white floral tribute is perfect for funerals, memorial services or as a thoughtful sympathy gift. To ensure maximum freshness and longevity, some flowers may be delivered in bud, allowing you to watch them gently open over time.

Our florists may leave the natural outer 'guard petals' on the roses to protect the inner blooms in transit. These can be simply removed once received for a flawless finish. As some blooms are seasonal, we may substitute flowers with similar varieties of equal or greater quality, style and value.

Handcrafted with care in Old Ford, the Compassion Posy combines premium flowers, reliable service and a timeless design to help you say goodbye with dignity and love.

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

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