Funeral Flowers
A generously sized heart-shaped floral tribute is shown from above, set against a clean white background that allows every detail of the design to stand out. The heart itself is meticulously massed with tiny white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom nestled closely to the next until no gaps remain, forming a plush, cloud-like surface that suggests purity, calm, and a gentle final rest. Encircling this snowy bed of petals is a neat band of emerald green ribbon, its smooth satin edge tracing the heart's outline and lending a tailored, finished look to the tribute. Across the upper left curve, a dramatic diagonal arrangement of deep magenta calla lilies forms the focal point. At the crown of this spray, three calla lilies are fully open, their sculpted, funnel-shaped petals and dark centres creating a striking contrast against the white chrysanthemum base. From this cluster, two more slender calla blooms descend gracefully, one slightly unfurling, the other more curved, giving the impression of a gentle downward flow. Threaded among the calla lilies are dainty white freesia-like flowers, adding a soft shimmer of texture and hinting at a light, sweet fragrance. Lush green foliage wraps and supports the feature blooms: smooth, darker leaves sit close to the calla stems, while finer, fern-like fronds extend outwards to add delicacy and depth. The overall effect is poised and contemplative, a heart of white and rich pink that feels both modern and timeless. It is the sort of refined funeral tribute that could be delivered to a chapel or crematorium near Old Ford, created by a florist who understands how flowers can quietly express love, loss, and cherished memory.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED HEART
£95.00
A solemn and beautifully composed floral Union Jack fills the frame, its rectangular shape set sharply against a plain white backdrop that enhances the clarity of every line and colour. The entire British flag is formed from tightly packed, small-headed flowers, creating a soft, cushion-like surface that looks both luxurious and respectful. Deep, inky blue blooms are massed together to create the background fields, their clustered petals giving a velvety depth that echoes the fabric of a ceremonial banner. Across this sea of blue, a strong red St George's Cross runs vertically and horizontally, crafted from rich red chrysanthemums or similarly dense flowers, their rounded shapes sitting shoulder to shoulder. Diagonal red bands, precisely angled, represent St Patrick's Cross and are equally vivid, carefully balanced so the design remains perfectly symmetrical. Fine bands of white flowers, cool and crisp in tone, outline every red line and form the broader diagonal crosses of St Andrew, providing contrast and clarity. The density of the flowers leaves no gaps, only tiny natural variations in petal height that create gentle texture and soft shadows. The overall impression is of a patriotic funeral tribute, dignified and composed, suitable for honouring a loved one with strong British heritage. One can imagine this piece resting atop a coffin in a hearse moving quietly through Old Ford, past local streets and towards a nearby chapel or crematorium. The arrangement communicates unity, remembrance, and national pride through living blooms, thoughtfully arranged to offer comfort on a day of farewell.
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
Set against a crisp, white background that throws every colour into gentle relief, this cushion-shaped floral tribute appears like a soft bed of blossoms, carefully composed for a final, peaceful rest. The outline forms a plump rectangle with rounded corners, mimicking a real pillow and suggesting comfort and protection. Across the surface, roses in varying pink tones command attention: rich fuchsia and magenta blooms sit alongside tender pastel pinks and creamy pale-yellow roses, many of them fully open to reveal their spiralled, velvety hearts. Threads of deep royal-purple lisianthus drift between the roses, their layered, slightly ruffled petals bringing a luxurious, almost satin-like texture. Here and there, tiny lavender and lilac filler flowers, similar to statice or limonium, weave a soft mist of colour, filling every gap so the tribute feels lush and complete. Lush green foliage surrounds and supports the blooms, with rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves mingling with darker, fine-textured, fern-like greens that echo the quiet greenery found along Old Ford's canals and pocket parks. The lighting is calm and even, with subtle shadows beneath the cushion giving a sense of gentle elevation, as though the arrangement is hovering just above the surface. This carefully balanced palette of pink, cream, yellow, and purple, combined with the pillow form, creates an atmosphere of serenity and affection, perfect for a funeral or memorial service in or around Old Ford, where families may wish to send a floral gesture that speaks softly of gratitude, farewell, and continuing love beyond words.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION
£95.00
An elegant "DAD" funeral tribute stands out clearly against a bright white background, the kind of piece a family in Old Ford might choose to honour a devoted father at a local chapel or crematorium. Each letter is sculpted on a sturdy frame and filled edge to edge with snowy white chrysanthemums, their tightly packed, button-like blooms forming a thick, plush texture that suggests both softness and quiet strength. Around the edges, a rich emerald-green satin ribbon ripples gently, catching the light and neatly defining the contours of the lettering, like a ribbon of parkland encircling Old Ford's terraced streets. On the upper left of the first "D", a small spray of delicate white freesia and vivid green foliage adds fragrance and a sense of movement, as if a breeze has just passed over the flowers. From this point, two long, arching green stems sweep diagonally across towards the centre, drawing the gaze to an expressive focal piece that rests over the "A". Here, two deep purple calla lilies, smooth and sculptural, curl gracefully among clusters of white freesia and fresh greenery, introducing a rich, solemn hue that deepens the tribute's emotional tone. The last "D" carries a coordinating mini-spray of white freesia and foliage on its upper right, providing a final, gentle flourish. The overall effect is one of heartfelt remembrance and quiet dignity, a carefully considered design that feels personal and comforting, suitable for same-day funeral flower delivery around Old Ford and the neighbouring canalside areas.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
Presented on a stark white backdrop, this circular sympathy wreath is built on a thick, continuous ring of immaculate white chrysanthemums, their many-petaled heads forming a plush, even surface that suggests serenity and purity. Toward the upper-left side a concentrated cluster of purple Eustoma (Lisianthus) provides a striking yet gentle focal point: blooms move from pale lavender to saturated violet, some fully open with soft yellow centres, others caught mid-bud on slim stems. Among these purple blooms, a variety of fresh green foliage - broad variegated leaves and feathery fern fronds - is woven in to give the cluster natural depth and a quiet, living contrast to the white base. Around the inner and outer rims a delicate, crinkled purple mesh or lace peeks through beneath the chrysanthemums, tying the composition together with a subtle band of darker tone. The studio light is even and soft, creating a light shadow under the wreath that grants it presence and dimensionality against the white field. As an experienced local maker based near Victoria Park and Roman Road, Old Ford Florist values such restrained, elegant designs for ceremonies across Old Ford and nearby Mile End; this piece is conceived to convey steady condolence and respect, its textures and muted scent profile offering a calm, comforted atmosphere for family and friends during moments of farewell and remembrance.
HONORING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
Against a stark white background, a circular sympathy wreath is shown in poised simplicity, its full ring of pristine white chrysanthemums forming a soft, tactile halo. Each tiny chrysanthemum head contributes to a uniformly plush texture that reads like a gentle blanket of petals, arranged with careful repetition to suggest steadiness and peace. A slender ribbon or fine purple mesh peeks through the outer and inner seams of the wreath, a restrained, elegant accent that adds depth and a touch of quiet colour. Accenting the upper-left quadrant, three pale yellow roses open gently, their creamy centres offering a tender focal point. These roses are surrounded by clouds of delicate gypsophila - baby's breath - which scatters lightness through the cluster, while small sprigs of lavender-hued statice provide a dignified contrast. A selection of fresh green foliage - from smooth, broad leaves to delicate, fern-like fronds - frames the blooms and helps the composition breathe, giving both weight and softness where needed. The lighting is soft and natural, suggesting a morning delivery to a family home by the Hertford Union Canal in Old Ford; the roses give a faint sweet scent, the chrysanthemums a cool, clean presence. Designed with the sensitivity of a local florist who knows the neighbourhood's quieter moments, this wreath communicates sympathy and steady support for a funeral or memorial service, a classic expression of remembrance that is both composed and deeply compassionate.
IN MY PRAYERS WREATH
£75.00
A meticulously crafted heart-shaped floral tribute is shown against a clean white backdrop, its form completely filled with hundreds of small-headed white chrysanthemum flowers. Each floret is arranged tightly next to the other, building a soft, plush surface that resembles a pure white pillow of petals, calm and unbroken. Resting at the upper left side of the heart, three rich red roses form an elegant focal point, their velvety petals layered in perfect spirals. They are framed by delicate white filler blooms, much like freesias, and a mix of lush foliage, including glossy dark leaves and airy, fern-like greens that lend texture and a sense of gentle movement. Sweeping across the heart, fine strands of bright green ornamental grass curve in a graceful diagonal line, connecting the top cluster to two additional red roses positioned further down towards the right. These roses appear almost as if they are gently resting on the chrysanthemum cushion, creating a flowing path for the eye to follow. Along the outside edge, a dark forest green satin ribbon is neatly folded and pleated, providing a refined frame that enhances the overall heart shape. The simple, high-contrast palette of white, red, and green captures both sorrow and devotion, making this design a fitting choice for funeral flowers delivered to services and memorials around Old Ford, whether near Victoria Park, by the canals, or at a quiet family gathering to say a last goodbye.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
A carefully composed sympathy bouquet of blue and cream roses is shown against a clean white backdrop, the sort of thoughtful design a local Old Ford florist might prepare for delivery to a family on a nearby residential street. The arrangement is rounded and full, with approximately equal numbers of deep sapphire-blue and soft cream roses placed in an even, harmonious pattern. The blue roses are richly saturated, their velvety petals curling outward in layered spirals that draw the eye, while the cream and ivory blooms soften the palette with their gentle, almost candle-like glow. Some roses are fully open, revealing intricate hearts of overlapping petals, while others are more tightly furled, hinting at future unfolding and the passage of time. Feather-light sprays of white baby's breath are nestled between the roses, their tiny blossoms forming a delicate mist that softens the strong lines of the larger flowers. Around the outer edge and tucked between stems, dark green foliage frames the bouquet, adding a natural depth and a suggestion of woodland freshness, like the calm you might feel strolling near Victoria Park just beyond Old Ford. The stems are neatly gathered and tied, extending beneath the rounded mass of blooms so that the bouquet looks poised for placing in a vase or offering at a service. Bright, even lighting brings out every texture-the suede-like blue petals, the silky cream swirls, the fine, branching stems of gypsophila-while the white background keeps the focus entirely on the serene composition. This design carries a message of dignity and solace, ideal for conveying sympathy, marking a memorial, or bringing quiet reassurance into a grieving home in and around Old Ford.
REMEMBRANCE
£80.00
A lush, rounded bouquet of lilies and roses fills the frame against a stark white background, creating the impression of a cloud of petals carefully shaped by an experienced florist's hands. Dominating the design are generous white lilies, their long, trumpet-shaped blooms opening gracefully, with a few green buds still tightly closed, promising fragrance in the days to come. Nestled between these are clusters of soft blush pink roses and creamy white roses, each at a different stage of flowering-some shyly half-open, others fully expanded so that their layered, velvety petals form intricate rosettes. To one side and threaded through the centre, vibrant magenta Oriental lilies, similar to Stargazer lilies, bring an expressive burst of colour, their rich, fuchsia petals dusted with darker speckles and surrounding bright yellow stamens that create a warm glow. Fine sprays of white baby's breath lace the bouquet from edge to edge, their tiny blossoms forming a mist-like halo that softens every transition and enhances the romantic mood. Glimpses of polished green foliage provide contrast and depth, suggesting sturdy stems hidden beneath the dense canopy of flowers. The lighting is clear and even, highlighting the natural sheen of each petal and the subtle gradations of pink and cream, as if the bouquet has just left a local studio near Victoria Park or the streets of Old Ford at first light. This arrangement radiates celebration and tenderness, perfectly suited to Old Ford residents looking to send love for a wedding morning, an anniversary dinner at home, or a thoughtful surprise delivered across the neighbourhood to brighten someone's day.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
A lovingly made standing tribute that spells MUM in bold capital letters, each form densely covered in hundreds of tiny, pristine white spray chrysanthemums which together create a soft, pillowy surface reminiscent of freshly fallen snow. The white is luminous against the spotless backdrop, evoking calm, purity and remembrance; the layered petals form a tactile surface you can almost feel with your fingers. Three small clusters of pastel-coloured roses - muted lavender blooms paired with light pink buds - are arranged as thoughtful accents: one graces the upper left of the first M, another rests in the curved base of the U, and the third adorns the top right of the last M. Interspersed between the roses and chrysanthemums are slender fern fronds and vibrantly green foliage, their fine textures and darker tones adding depth and a natural frame to the letters. Underneath, a deep green structural ribbon or mossed base is visible at the outline, providing discreet support and a gentle contrast to the white. The composition is restrained yet deeply personal, its scent a faint, comforting rose note rather than overpowering perfume. I picture this tribute standing quietly at a funeral in the Old Ford area, near the familiar hum of Roman Road Market or beside a church hall on a grey morning, offering a measured and intimate statement of love and grief that reads clearly from the front of the room.
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Elegant heart-shaped sympathy tribute crafted from fresh white blooms, ideal for funerals or memorials in the Old Ford area and surrounding East London neighbourhoods. The entire heart is filled with tightly clustered white chrysanthemums, sometimes known as spray mums, layered so closely that they form a thick, pillowy surface with gentle shadows between each flower. This uninterrupted white expanse suggests purity and calm, inviting a sense of stillness and reflection that suits a final farewell. A rich emerald green satin ribbon, meticulously pleated, frames the heart all the way around; its ruffled, scalloped edge hugs the contours and introduces a refined band of colour that hints at renewal and life continuing along the canals and green spaces near Old Ford. Nestled in the top left curve is a graceful accent spray. Two prominent white roses, fully open and velvety to the eye, take centre stage, their spiralled petals symbolising enduring love and deep respect. They are accompanied by smaller white blossoms, likely freesias or similar airy flowers, whose slender buds and open trumpets add gentle variation and a whisper of fragrance. Surrounding the blooms, lush green foliage in mixed textures - broad shiny leaves and light, feathery fronds - stretches slightly over the chrysanthemum bed, softening the transition between the focal cluster and the white base. The composition sits against a bright, uncluttered background so every curve of the heart and every pleat of the ribbon can be clearly seen. This floral piece speaks of quiet support for grieving families, offering a tender, hand-crafted token of sympathy from a trusted Old Ford florist.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
This floral funeral tribute quietly spells out "GRANDMA" in bold, block letters, each one fully encrusted with white chrysanthemums that look as soft as clouds rolling over the Old Ford skyline. The blooms are closely set, creating a smooth, cushion-like surface that suggests gentleness and care, every petal layered over the next like the overlapping memories of a lifetime. Around the outer edge of every letter, a slim lilac ribbon is carefully pleated, its satin sheen glinting subtly where the light touches it. This pastel border introduces a hushed note of colour, adding definition and poise, much like the soft lavender tones you might see in cottage gardens around nearby Victoria Park. Adding warmth and personality, three key points along the tribute-the opening "G", one of the middle "A"s, and the final "A"-are accented with delicate mini-bouquets. These are formed from cheerful pink gerberas, dainty pink roses just opening at the centre, and glossy green foliage that peeks between the petals. The combination of rich greens and varying pinks brings life to the serene white base, hinting at the joy, kindness, and spirited character often associated with a beloved grandmother. The composition is photographed in soft, even lighting, which gently illuminates every curve of the petals and the contours of the letters without casting harsh shadows. It feels like a piece meticulously arranged in the workshop of Old Ford Florist, ready to be delivered with care to a funeral service or crematorium nearby. The overall impression is of a tribute that is both strong and tender, a floral embrace that offers solace while celebrating a deeply treasured family matriarch.
HONORED GRANDMA TRIBUTE
£330.00
Laid flat and photographed from above on a clean white surface, this funeral wreath carries a restrained elegance that we make often here in Old Ford for services at nearby Victoria Park chapels and Roman Road memorials. About a dozen to twenty creamy-white roses form the primary visual field: each rose shows the familiar tight spiral of layered petals, their ivory tones leaning toward warm cream rather than stark white. Scattered among them are pale lemon lilies-some fully open with long, trumpet-shaped petals and soft, butter-coloured throats, others kept in graceful bud form to suggest unfolding life-bringing a subtle height and a gentle, uplifting curve to the round silhouette. The foundations are a carpets of verdant greens: soft, feathery fern fronds create a delicate halo while sprigs of rounded eucalyptus-type leaves introduce a cool, silvery-green counterpoint and visual depth. The scent is quietly evocative-roses with a soft, powdery sweetness and lilies that lend a faint green-citrus lift-so the piece feels like a calm, breathing presence in a quiet room. Crafted with careful balance and measured density, the wreath's symmetrical, luxurious packing conveys reverence and purity. As local florists we prepare these pieces with respect for ritual; Old Ford Florist arranges them to sit respectfully on a casket or easel, a dignified expression of condolence that speaks of peace, memory, and enduring affection around the Old Ford neighbourhood and beyond.
IN LOVING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
Set against a pure white background that highlights every contour, this floral tribute spells out "MUM" in large, freestanding letters that feel both strong and tender. Each letter is completely coated in clusters of small, rich magenta and deep purple spray chrysanthemums, carefully placed so that not a single gap of the underlying frame can be seen. Their lime-green centres dot the arrangement like tiny beads, adding freshness and a living, garden-like character. The sides of each letter are framed with a soft, ruffled ribbon in the gentlest blush pink, which ripples slightly and brings a sense of movement, as if a favourite dress or treasured keepsake had been reimagined in flowers. On the first "M", a flourish of vivid pink roses and feathery green ferns drapes from the upper left edge, introducing romance and a sense of celebration of a life well lived. The central "U" carries a soothing floral accent at its base: pale pink and creamy roses nestled among variegated foliage and dainty white blooms, suggesting calm and comfort like a quiet moment in a secluded corner of Victoria Park. The last "M" is crowned on its upper right curve with another cluster of deep pink roses and fern leaves, creating a visual echo that ties the whole tribute together. This personalised funeral flower arrangement, often delivered to services around Old Ford, is designed to honour a beloved mother with grace, dignity, and heartfelt affection.
LOVING MUM TRIBUTE
£160.00
An elegantly crafted funeral pillow arranged with meticulous care: the main field is a continuous carpet of small, immaculate white chrysanthemums, each head pressed close to its neighbour to build a serene, cushion-like expanse. The overall effect is one of calm purity - a soft, cloud-like surface that speaks of peace and repose. The rectangular shape with rounded corners is given definition by a pleated light green satin ribbon that traces the entire edge in neat, overlapping loops, the lime tone providing a gentle, life-affirming contrast to the white mass. Crowning the upper-left corner is a modest yet artful spray of blooms - creamy white lisianthus alongside deep purple lisianthus buds and open flowers - their layered petals and dusky colour lending dignity and a whisper of colour like a cherished memory on fresh linen. Interlaced fern fronds and darker green foliage bring movement and depth; a broad green leaf wrap at the base keeps the stems secure and polished. Set against a bright white background with soft shadows beneath, the pillow presents as a three-dimensional tribute, quietly luminous and respectful. As a local East London creation, this arrangement is the sort of personal memorial we make at Old Ford Florist for services in and around Victoria Park, Roman Road and Bow; it conveys sympathy where words may falter and is often chosen for wakes, graveside services or quiet remembrance gatherings across Old Ford and neighbouring Mile End.
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
This sympathy wreath embodies the quiet, attentive hand of a local East London florist: a perfectly round base of closely set white chrysanthemums forms a plush, peaceful foundation that feels almost pillow-soft to the eye. Tucked just beneath that white halo, a layer of deep purple netting or lace is visible along the inner curve, adding a restrained contrast that breathes shadow and depth into the arrangement. At the upper-left a small, lush cluster commands attention without overwhelm - a single cream or pale yellow rose opens gently from its bud, its velvety petals surrounded by a tapestry of green: variegated leaves with lighter margins, soft fern fronds that suggest movement, and fine sprigs of lavender-purple statice that sprinkle the grouping with cool, comforting tone.

To the right, two elegant calla lilies are laid with intention, their sinuous stems sweeping between two and five o'clock to anchor the composition. The callas show a subtle gradient of colour, the narrow tips shaded in deep purple fading into a warm peach-pink at their bases, while a longer green stem extends from the left cluster across the lower wreath toward the lilies, quietly securing the visual conversation between the two focal points. Presented on white, the arrangement reads as a respectful and composed tribute suitable for memorial services in Old Ford, Bow and along Roman Road; it is the kind of carefully considered sympathy wreath Old Ford Florist prepares when families ask for something that speaks of peace, memory and enduring love.
PEACEFUL WREATH
£75.00
BRO TRIBUTE
PERSONALISED BRO TRIBUTE
£165.00
Large Celtic cross-shaped floral tribute made entirely of fresh blooms, shown in clear, even lighting against a spotless white background, as though resting on a stand in a funeral home near Old Ford. The structure of the cross is built from hundreds of small, snowy-white chrysanthemum heads, so closely set that no gaps are visible, giving the arms and centre a plush, cushioned appearance. Within this white field, a distinctive Celtic pattern is carefully drawn out using compact lime green button chrysanthemums, their spherical form and bright colour outlining the ring of the cross and threading through the arms in an intricate knotwork effect. This contrast between cool white and lively green provides a sense of balance between serenity and the promise of new life, echoing the calm of the nearby Regent's Canal and the bright foliage along its banks. Along the lower length of the cross, three carefully placed clusters of deep purple, almost wine-coloured carnations provide a rich accent, their frilled petals overlapping in tight spirals that feel luxurious and tender. These purple flowers are framed by slim sprays of glossy green leaves and fine, curling stems that trail diagonally, softening the formal symmetry of the design. The overall composition feels deeply reverent yet warmly human, ideal for a funeral or memorial service for a family from Old Ford or the surrounding East London neighborhoods. It evokes quiet prayers, shared memories, and the gentle, comforting presence of nature, all captured in a single, thoughtfully crafted floral cross.
WHITE CELTIC CROSS TRIBUTE
£170.00
A floral cross, carefully angled from upper left to lower right, is displayed on a clear white backdrop, its craftsmanship immediately drawing the eye. The outline of the cross is sharply defined by a thick border of white spray chrysanthemums, packed closely together so they resemble a soft, snowy cushion. Just beyond this border, a slim edge of folded pale green ribbon or foliage encircles the shape, offering a subtle, fresh contrast that frames the flowers like a gentle leaf trim. Inside this border, the design comes alive with colour. Generous roses in radiant fuchsia pink and soft creamy yellow are placed with intention along the length and arms of the cross, their velvety petals fully open and inviting. Nestled among them are clusters of vivid lime-green button chrysanthemums, their spherical forms providing playful texture and a modern touch. Weaving through the gaps, smaller deep purple blossoms-probable lisianthus or statice-add pools of rich colour, helping to balance the brighter tones and lending the tribute a sense of quiet reverence. The arrangement feels lush and full, with no empty spaces, each flower supporting the next. Bright, even lighting highlights every nuance of petal, stem, and ribbon, giving the cross a polished, almost luminous presence. It is easy to imagine this piece resting at the front of a chapel in Old Ford or being delivered to a family home near Roman Road, a thoughtful sympathy arrangement that offers comfort, hope, and a respectful farewell.
PRECIOUS MEMORY CROSS
£95.00
A classic memorial pillow, crafted with careful hands by Old Ford Florist and composed entirely of countless small white chrysanthemums that create a seamless, cloud-like surface. The chrysanthemums are densely set to form a rectangular cushion with softly rounded corners, their petite blooms lending a tactile softness reminiscent of a freshly fluffed pillow. Anchoring the design in the upper left, a concentrated spray of deep fuchsia roses provides a dignified focal point; their velvety petals open slowly and richly, contrasted by clusters of pure white freesias or similar delicate buds that add a whisper of fragrance and light. Interwoven are slender fern fronds and glossy green foliage which cradle the accent cluster and add depth, giving the arrangement a living, garden-fresh feel. Around the perimeter a pale green satin ribbon is pleated or looped to form a subtle border, the ribbon's faint sheen visible beneath the white blooms and lending a neat, ceremonial edge. The composition is photographed against a crisp white background with a soft shadow beneath, highlighting its three-dimensional presence and the meticulous craftsmanship behind each flower placement. Designed for funeral services or a graveside tribute, this pillow conveys peace, purity and lasting remembrance. Locally we prepare similar tributes for families across Old Ford, Roman Road and the surrounding Bethnal Green area, and we can arrange thoughtful delivery for same-day or pre-booked services when needed.
DEEPLY CHERISHED CUSHION
£135.00
A serene, diagonal funeral sheaf is set against a clean white studio background, its form flowing like a gentle stream from top left to bottom right. At the heart of the design stand several stately white oriental lilies, some fully open with wide, star-like petals and visible golden stamens, others still in elegant, elongated buds that hint at unfolding remembrance. Clustered between and around these lilies are graceful lisianthus blooms, their fine, ruffled petals predominantly white but delicately edged in lavender, with purple-tinted buds adding both texture and a soft whisper of colour. The flowers rest on a rich bed of greenery that feels almost forest-like: large, dark green leaves provide a solid, grounding base, while long, slender palm fronds sweep outward, particularly on the right side, giving the arrangement movement and a sense of release. A few leaves are folded into neat loops and curls, an artistic flourish that reveals the hand of an experienced florist used to preparing tributes for quiet services in Old Ford's churches and crematoriums. The overall palette is cool and calming, a blend of crisp whites, gentle lilacs, and deep greens that might remind someone of a peaceful walk along nearby Victoria Park in early morning light. This floral spray suggests dignity and comfort, ideal for lying beside a casket, resting at a memorial table, or being delivered to a family home in Old Ford as a tender expression of sympathy and enduring love.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
Set against a clean white background, this elongated sympathy spray appears to flow in a gentle diagonal from top left to bottom right, as if laid carefully along a casket or resting beside a memorial in Old Ford. The composition is anchored by show-stopping Stargazer lilies, their star-shaped petals flushed with deep fuchsia pink, ringed with crisp white edges, and finely speckled in burgundy, giving an impression of both strength and vulnerability. Some buds are still closed, a soft green with blush-pink tips, adding a sense of quiet anticipation. Clustered among these lilies are velvety magenta gerbera daisies, their circular faces bright with affectionate colour, balanced by graceful white roses in various stages of opening. The roses' creamy, spiralling petals speak of reverence and love, while fluffy ruffled white carnations provide a plush, comforting texture, almost like folded fabric. Tiny white daisy-like filler flowers lace through the larger blooms, lightening the palette and adding gentle intricacy. Around the edges, rich green foliage cradles the flowers: broad, dark leaves offer structure, feathery ferns soften the silhouette, and long, blade-like leaves arc outwards and downward, reinforcing the spray's tapered teardrop form. The stems at the upper left are neatly bound, showing the care of an experienced Old Ford florist who might prepare this tribute for a funeral service near Victoria Park or a quiet farewell at a local chapel. The overall impression is one of calm, respectful beauty, a floral arrangement that offers comfort, dignity, and a heartfelt final message when words feel hard to find.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
A full circular sympathy wreath rests visually against a clean white backdrop, its flowers forming a complete, unbroken ring that suggests continuity and eternal love, much like a gentle walk along the Hertford Union Canal in Old Ford. At its heart are elegant white lilies, their long petals opening wide to reveal golden stamens, creating a calm, luminous centre to the design. Between them, bold deep magenta and fuchsia lilies appear like scattered stars, their speckled petals and rich colour adding warmth and a sense of depth to the arrangement. Clustered throughout are white Gerbera daisies, easily recognised by their dark central disks and radiating petals, bringing a fresh, almost sunlit feel. Interlaced with these are soft pink roses, some in tight buds that hint at tenderness and others partially open, paired with creamy white roses whose layered petals offer classic, comforting beauty. Smaller white filler blooms, perhaps spray carnations or miniature roses, tuck into every little space so the wreath feels plush and complete rather than sparse. Surrounding the flowers, varied green foliage creates a natural frame, the leaves' different textures and tones providing contrast and structure. The lighting is bright but gentle, casting soft shadows that highlight the wreath's depth and craftsmanship, as though it were displayed in a quiet, light-filled room before a service. This thoughtfully composed floral tribute would be fitting for a funeral or memorial in the Old Ford area, conveying dignity, sympathy, and a compassionate farewell from family, friends, or colleagues.
LOVING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
The image shows a lovingly crafted funeral flower tribute that clearly spells "SON" in large, three-dimensional letters, arranged in a row against a bright white backdrop. Each character is formed from a dense bed of white chrysanthemums, packed so closely together that they create a velvety, cushion-like surface with subtle variations of cream and pure white as the petals catch the light. The edges of the letters are framed with a bold red satin ribbon, folded into soft ruffles that give the arrangement structure and a sense of careful workmanship. Adding vivid contrast, several clusters of red anthuriums, with their polished, heart-shaped blooms and upright spadices, are placed with deliberate balance across the design. On the upper left of the S, a prominent group of anthuriums is surrounded by glossy dark green foliage and fine fern fronds, acting like an opening statement of love. A single anthurium nestles neatly at the base of the O, slightly overlapping the white blooms, while a larger cluster decorates the right side of the N, sitting where the vertical stroke meets the diagonal, rich with greenery. Thin, arching green leaves or grasses weave lightly across the letters, visually joining the clusters and adding a feeling of gentle movement, like a soft breeze through a garden. This floral tribute, the sort of bespoke design often requested from funeral florists in Old Ford, carries deep emotional resonance, making it a meaningful way for a family to honour and say farewell to their son during a crematorium or graveside service nearby.
FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS SON TRIBUTE
£155.00
Against a spotless white backdrop, a single circular wreath appears almost to float, composed entirely of delicately textured white and purple blooms. The structure of the wreath is densely built from Baby's Breath, its tiny white blossoms forming a continuous, cloud-like ring that looks soft enough to touch. This fine Gypsophila creates a feathery carpet into which the larger Lisianthus flowers are carefully set, each one thoughtfully spaced so the eye moves smoothly around the circle, never catching on any harsh line. The Lisianthus petals are gently ruffled, their surfaces satiny and thin, with centres of creamy white gradually shifting to edges painted in lavender and deep violet, echoing the moody skies you sometimes see over the canals and towpaths near Old Ford. Some stems show only half-open buds, slender and pale green with just a whisper of colour at their tips, introducing a sense of new life and unfolding stories. The centre of the wreath remains clean and open, reinforcing the symbolism of continuity, eternity, and an unbroken bond-qualities that make this design such a meaningful choice for funerals and memorial services in the local area. The arrangement is free of visible hardware or stands, so all attention is on the swirl of white and purple tones and the exquisite craftsmanship that keeps every stem in place. Even in a still image, you can almost sense the light, fresh fragrance of the blossoms, and imagine this wreath resting quietly beside a chapel door or at a graveside in remembrance of someone cherished.
WARM EMBRACE WREATH
£70.00
A meticulously crafted heart-shaped floral tribute fills the frame, presented on a clean white background that lets every petal and stem be clearly seen. The heart is neatly divided into two harmonising halves, as if two stories of love are gently meeting in the middle. On one side, creamy white to pale yellow roses are placed so close together that hardly any gap shows between them, forming a smooth, plush surface of velvety petals. On the other side, soft pink roses of the same size and fullness create a tender contrast, their blooms swirling open in elegant spirals. The central line where the colours meet is softened by light, frothy clusters of white baby's breath, which also trace around the outer curve of the heart, softening the edges like a halo. The gypsophila adds a feathery, airy texture that contrasts with the weight and richness of the roses, giving the whole tribute a sense of calm, floating grace. This arrangement feels particularly suited for a funeral or memorial in Old Ford, perhaps accompanying a farewell at a local church or crematorium close to the Regent's Canal. It speaks of gentle remembrance and enduring affection, the dual tones of roses suggesting cherished memories shared between loved ones. The overall effect is serene and contemplative, as if composed by a local florist who understands the quiet, heartfelt tributes often chosen by families in Old Ford who wish to honour a life with grace, softness, and understated beauty.
INFINITY ROSE HEART
£105.00
A beautifully composed circular sympathy wreath fills the centre of a bright white background, the eye naturally drawn to the tranquil combination of white and soft purple blooms. Large Oriental lilies in pristine white dominate the design, their long, slightly curved petals opening outward like gentle starbursts. In many of the lilies, the pale green throats and prominent stamens with rust-toned anthers are clearly visible, adding a subtle touch of warmth. Between these focal flowers weave clusters of Lisianthus-style blossoms, their petals softly ruffled and edged with shades of lavender and muted violet, bringing a quiet, almost whispering colour contrast. A few buds of lilies and what appear to be creamy white rosebuds are tucked among the open flowers, hinting at life and unfolding memories. Slim, deep green leaves and occasional silvery-green sprigs reminiscent of eucalyptus peep through the dense arrangement, giving the wreath a natural framework and gentle movement. The circular form is unbroken and full, with no gaps, embodying eternity and the enduring nature of love and remembrance. The overall mood is peaceful and reflective, the palette evoking purity, grace, and solace. It is easy to imagine this elegant wreath being delivered by a trusted Old Ford florist to a funeral home or memorial gathering along Roman Road or near Victoria Park, where it would rest by the casket or display stand. The clean white background in the image heightens the impression of calm, allowing every petal, curve, and shaded purple edge to be appreciated as a heartfelt tribute in a time of loss.
ETERNAL AFFECTION WREATH
£80.00
A carefully crafted "DAD" funeral tribute is shown against a crisp, bright white background, making the floral lettering appear almost to float in the frame. Each letter - the first D, the central A, and the final D - is formed on a discreet metal frame, subtly connected by slender dark-green bars that keep the tribute aligned, as if ready to be placed by the altar of a small church or at a memorial gathering in Old Ford. The outlines of the letters are softened with a thick edging of lush fern foliage and other deep-green leaves, their fronds curling gently outward and giving the design a natural, garden-like feel that recalls quiet walks by the canal or through nearby parks. Inside this green border, the structure of every letter is made up of firm, full-headed white chrysanthemums and wide-eyed white gerbera daisies, packed tightly together so there are no visible gaps, just a smooth, velvety field of white. Nestled among them are clusters of cheerful yellow blooms - small yellow spray roses, golden gerberas, and tiny button chrysanthemums - that bring a subtle optimism and echo the warmth of a father's smile. To balance this brightness, accents of rich purple lisianthus, deep pink and magenta spray roses, and soft lavender-toned filler flowers are spaced carefully through the composition, creating a gentle rhythm of colour that draws the eye across the entire word. Occasional bright green button chrysanthemums add a fresh, contemporary note. The arrangement feels both traditional and personal, exactly the kind of bespoke tribute a family might request from a trusted Old Ford florist to express respect, gratitude, and enduring love at a funeral, cremation, or graveside farewell.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
An elegant sympathy spray in white and green stretches diagonally across a crisp white backdrop, designed as a one-sided display that naturally draws the gaze from a full, rounded top to a graceful, tapering end. At the centre, opulent white lilies open wide, their trumpet-shaped blooms revealing delicate stamens dusted with soft golden pollen, while several closed buds stand tall and poised above them. Nestled alongside are creamy white roses in various stages of opening, from tight, hopeful buds to gently unfurling blooms, joined by ruffled white carnations and white Gerbera-style daisies with subtle pale centres that lend a fresh, uplifting touch. Threaded through the arrangement are tiny sprigs of white filler flowers that soften the transitions between each blossom, giving the piece a light, airy quality despite its lushness. The flowers are anchored by a varied tapestry of greenery: broad, dark, glossy leaves provide structure, fine fern fronds offer feathery movement, and rounded eucalyptus leaves in a muted green-blue tone bring a cool, soothing note. At the top, slim green leaves are artfully wrapped into a neat vertical feature, adding a sense of intention and craftsmanship. From the lower right, a fan of long, slender palm fronds sweeps outward, creating an elongated, modern silhouette that still feels timeless and dignified. The overall effect is one of calm strength and quiet reverence, ideal for a funeral or memorial gathering in Old Ford, perhaps accompanying a service before a burial or cremation. This is the kind of carefully balanced tribute local families might request for delivery to chapels and homes throughout the E3 area when they wish to honour a life with understated grace.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
Emanating tranquility and gentle warmth, this heart-shaped floral arrangement is a testament to the heartfelt artistry of the Old Ford area. Designed with care by local florists, it showcases a dense cluster of approximately thirty soft pink and delicate cream roses, each unfurling its velvety petals in rich, varied stages of bloom. Interwoven throughout are airy clusters of white baby's breath, their tiny blossoms imparting a light, angelic quality that seems to lift the entire design. The gentle interplay of blush and ivory echoes the calming hues of Old Ford's hidden gardens, offering both comfort and grace. Set against a crisp white background, the bouquet's sculpture-like symmetry forms a perfect heart, symbolising boundless compassion and enduring love. Every petal, thoughtfully placed, invites a sense of sanctuary and reflection, making it ideal for moments of farewell or deep gratitude. Whether resting in a serene chapel near St. Stephen's Road or delivered as an intimate gesture throughout Old Ford, this floral heart whispers messages of solace, remembrance, and lifelong affection.
DEAREST ONE HEART
£130.00
Carefully assembled to suggest the softness of sleep, this rectangular floral pillow is densely built from small, pristine white chrysanthemums whose uniform, button-like heads create a soothing, velveteen surface. Around the perimeter a finely pleated ribbon of pale lime green satin frames the cushion like a delicate trim on a cherished garment, its subtle sheen adding refinement without distraction. Anchoring the design on the upper left is a thoughtful cluster of accent blooms: two white Oriental lilies-one open, its yellow stamens visible, the other in bud-paired with clusters of deep burgundy spray carnations that bring warmth and a respectful contrast. Interspersed greenery-fern fronds, glossy salal, and broader leaves-gives the cluster depth and a natural silhouette. From this focal group a graceful loop of slender green steming arcs toward the right, finishing at a single, deep red rosebud poised on the upper right edge; the rosebud's tight velvet petals offer a quiet symbol of abiding love. In soft daylight the textures read clearly-the chrysanthemum's powdery softness, the lilies' satin-like petals, the carnation's layered folds-and the faint perfume of lilies suggests calm rather than intensity. As a local florist in Old Ford Florist's studio near Victoria Park and Roman Road Market, we choose these classic elements for funeral and memorial services across Old Ford, Bow and surrounding streets, and prepare each pillow for careful delivery, mindful of the family's need for dignity, comfort and subtle beauty.
EXPRESSION OF LOVE CUSHION
£135.00
Rendered as three large, three-dimensional capital letters, this DAD tribute is built from a thick, even surface of small white chrysanthemums or spray carnations that form soft, pillowy faces for each letter. The outer and inner edges are outlined in a ruffled, deep green satin ribbon that frames each letter like a quiet, respectful border. Slim dark-green metal bars run horizontally behind the letters and are faintly visible, revealing the careful engineering that keeps the display stable and suited to standing at a chapel or graveside.

On the leftmost D a bright cluster of 3-4 yellow roses sits on the upper left curve, paired with delicate white freesia or gypsophila accents and fresh green foliage; two long, spare green stems sweep diagonally from this cluster toward the centre, introducing a graceful linear motion. The central A is dressed with a restrained arrangement on its lower diagonal: two rich purple or burgundy calla lilies create a refined focal point, surrounded by small white filler blooms and leaves. The right D mirrors the left with an identical yellow-rose cluster on its upper right curve, completing a balanced and intentional composition.

The overall effect is quietly uplifting - the white blooms convey purity and calm, the yellow roses bring a memory of sunny companionship, and the deep callas add solemnity. Light and texture are soft, the scent clean and faint. As crafted by Old Ford Florist for families around Old Ford, Bow and nearby Mile End, this floral lettering reads as a bespoke memorial tribute designed to honour a father with care and local knowledge; images and orders can be viewed at oldfordflorist.co.uk.
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
This image presents a carefully composed memorial arrangement spelling out DAD in large, capital letters, crafted to convey reverence and personal tribute. Each letter is entirely covered in compact, snow-white chrysanthemums whose fluffy petals create a continuous, soft-textured surface that reads both substantial and serene. A pleated emerald-green ribbon borders the shapes, crisply defining the letters while introducing a cool, restorative green that echoes freshly cut foliage. Placed with sensitive precision, three accent clusters add color and intimacy: deep magenta roses-some tightly furled, some gently opening-sit with small white freesia and delicate spray blossoms, their perfume implied rather than overpowering, and are grounded by rich, dark green leaves. The left D is embellished on its upper left curve, the A holds its cluster in the lower V, and the right D displays a mirror cluster on its upper right curve, producing a harmonious balance across the display. Behind the letters a faint dark-green or grey supporting bar keeps the piece stable and ready for standing presentation at a funeral, chapel, or graveside. The studio lighting gives the chrysanthemums a soft luminescence while the magenta accents read warm and affectionate, a visual language of love and remembrance. As a local florist accustomed to serving families in and around Old Ford, Bow and the Hertford Union Canal, I would describe this piece as an understated yet deeply personal farewell-clean-lined, textural, and composed with respectful care for a beloved father.
GRACIOUS DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
A dignified, lovingly assembled memorial arrangement spells MUM in three standing capital letters, each built from a tight mass of small white chrysanthemums that give the letters a plush, cloud-like texture. The chrysanthemums read as clean and classic sympathy flowers, their compact petals forming an even, luminous surface across every letter. A soft, ruffled blush-pink ribbon traces the outer edge of each character, adding a motherly softness and a whisper of colour against the white. A discreet dark green support frame peeks through between the letters, hinting at the piece's freestanding construction. Thoughtful accent clusters appear at three points: the first M carries a small posy of vivid fuchsia roses, ferny greenery and reddish-orange hypericum berries at its upper left; the U is balanced by the same mix tucked into its lower curve; and the final M repeats the flourish at its upper right. The juxtaposition of velvety rose petals, glossy foliage and tiny berries against the pure chrysanthemum field creates tactile contrast and visual rhythm. The arrangement is presented in soft, even light that brings out the pink trim's gentle hue and the roses' saturated fuchsia, suggesting a subtle fragrance of roses and fresh green leaves. As Old Ford Florist we design such tributes with sensitivity for services around Old Ford, Mile End and Roman Road, where families often choose personalised floral words to honour a mother with restrained beauty and heartfelt presence.
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
An intimate, graceful floral tribute that spells DAD in bold block letters, each letter lovingly covered in hundreds of small, immaculate white chrysanthemum blooms to create a soft, reverent texture. The chrysanthemums' fine petals catch diffuse light, appearing almost feathered at the surface and offering a feeling of calm. Each letter is framed with a rich emerald-green ribbon that crisply defines its silhouette and lends a formal, respectful edge to the composition. At three key points - the upper curve of the left D, centrally within the A, and along the right-hand curve of the final D - we've placed tender posies of deep red roses paired with white freesia or cream lisianthus and sprigs of fresh green foliage. The roses bring a warm, velvety depth and the freesia contributes a clean, sweet scent that lifts the arrangement, while the greenery adds structure and contrast. A subtle dark metal support runs behind the letters to keep the display secure and unified without distracting from the floral surfaces. Photographed against a bright white backdrop, the tribute reads with clarity and quiet dignity, perfect for a memorial service, funeral chapel gathering, or graveside ceremony near Old Ford, Roman Road, or Bow. The pairing of white chrysanthemums for devoted remembrance with red roses for lasting affection creates a compassionate statement of loss and love, crafted to feel personal and deeply respectful to those who knew him.
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
A light-coloured woven basket with a tall, smooth handle sits centered against a spotless white background, holding a thoughtfully composed funeral flower arrangement that feels both lush and restrained. The basket overflows in a softly domed shape, as if freshly set down by a local Old Ford florist delivering to a chapel near Roman Road. At the core, a single creamy white rose gently unfurls, its layered petals forming a calm focal point that naturally draws the eye. Deep purple calla lilies curve upwards around it, their velvety trumpets adding depth and a rich, dignified tone often chosen for farewell tributes. Threaded throughout, delicate clematis-like blooms in lavender and pale lilac bring a light, airy movement; their star-shaped petals and subtle yellow centers soften the darker shades. Small flurries of sunny yellow flowers, reminiscent of freesia or alstroemeria, punctuate the greenery with pockets of quiet brightness, while dainty white blossoms offer a bridge between the rose and the deeper hues. To the right, a single magenta gerbera-style flower emerges from the foliage, its vivid petals offering a touch of hope and celebration of a life well lived. Surrounding every bloom is an abundance of glossy green foliage, from broad, dark leaves to lighter, more delicate sprigs, giving the design a full, comforting presence. A faint, natural shadow beneath the basket adds realism, hinting at soft studio lighting. This arrangement, with its balance of white, purple, yellow, and green, would sit beautifully beside a funeral service book, on a memorial table, or as a condolence gift delivered to a grieving family home anywhere across Old Ford.
