LETTER TRIBUTES
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.

Set against a smooth, neutral grey backdrop, this image draws the eye straight to a beautifully made "MOM" funeral flower tribute, composed as if ready to be chosen from an online gallery or brochure. Three bold floral letters stand shoulder to shoulder within a crisp white frame, each letter formed from tightly packed white chrysanthemum heads, their ruffled petals creating a plush, cushion-like texture. The whiteness feels calm and respectful, softened by accents of pink and green. On the left, the first "M" carries a cluster of flowers at its top left curve: a deep fuchsia rose fully open at the heart, framed by smaller blush-pink rosebuds and light, feathery fern leaves that spill gently over the edge. The middle "O" is subtly embellished at its base with a single pale pink rose, a delicate touch that hints at tenderness and quiet affection. The right-hand "M" echoes the left, displaying the same combination of fuchsia rose, rosebuds, and arching fern on its upper right edge, giving the trio a sense of balance and intentional design. Superimposed over the arrangement is a bold white rectangle containing the words "3 LETTER" in a modern uppercase font, with "Tribute" written beneath in a graceful script, signalling that similar tributes can spell out initials or short words. At the sides of the image, the partially visible edges of other chrysanthemum letters, also dressed with pink roses and greenery, suggest a larger collection of custom sympathy tributes. It feels like a thoughtful choice for families in Old Ford planning a personal farewell at a local church or crematorium, crafted with the quiet care of an experienced East London florist.
3 LETTER TRIBUTE

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.

The image presents a refined four-letter funeral tribute, photographed in a way that suggests it could be resting on a stand in a quiet Old Ford funeral home or chapel. Four floral letters - K, A, T and E - stretch from left to right, though their full shapes are partly veiled by a central graphic overlay. Each letter is carefully built from tightly clustered white chrysanthemums, their small, daisy-like blooms pressed closely together to create a plush, cushioned surface that feels both soft and immaculate. Along the sides of the letters runs a subtle edging of pale pink ribbon, peeping through the white petals like a delicate blush, adding a note of warmth and gentleness to the tribute. Deep red roses are tucked artfully into the letters, emerging from pockets of glossy green foliage; the roses' velvety petals and rich colour bring depth, emotion and a classic symbol of love and loss. Over the middle of the tribute lies a dark grey semi-transparent square, neatly framed in white. This overlay carries the words "4 LETTER" in bold, clean white type, with the word "Tribute" written beneath in a graceful, script-style font that suggests handwriting on a condolence card. Through the misty grey you can still discern the red of the roses and the textured white flowers behind, visually linking the text to the arrangement itself. The outer background is a simple, pale grey field with no distractions, emphasising the personalised nature of the floral lettering. It feels like an image created to help families in Old Ford visualise a custom name or word tribute for a funeral, remembrance service or graveside farewell.

This image presents a thoughtful five-letter floral tribute, photographed against a smooth, light grey background that allows every petal and ribbon edge to stand out clearly. Each freestanding letter is generously covered with tightly grouped white chrysanthemums, their small, rounded blooms forming a plush, cushion-like surface that suggests softness and purity. Around the outline of each character, a rich band of purple satin ribbon creates a graceful frame, catching the light with a gentle sheen and bringing depth and contrast to the design. At several points along the letters-hinting at the name JOHN with an additional letter-small groupings of pale pink and lilac-toned spray roses are tucked among the white flowers, accompanied by airy fronds of fern and fresh greenery. These pastel accents introduce subtle colour without overwhelming the calm composition, much like the quiet planting and blossom you might notice in the residential streets and pocket parks around Old Ford. At the centre of the photograph, a slightly darker grey square overlay is placed above the letters, bordered softly and featuring the words "5 LETTER Tribute" in crisp white fonts, the word "Tribute" written in elegant script to emphasise the commemorative nature of the piece. The overall feel of the arrangement is one of gentle remembrance and personalised care, as if created by an experienced Old Ford florist who understands how important it is to spell out a special name or word in flowers for a funeral, memorial gathering, or final farewell, offering a peaceful focal point at the front of the service.
5 LETTER TRIBUTE

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.

6 LETTER TRIBUTE

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
Buy now
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.

This image presents a dignified seven-letter funeral tribute set against a smooth, mid-grey background that keeps the focus on the flowers. In the centre sits a slightly darker grey square framed by a narrow white border, like a simple card placed over the design. On this square, crisp white text reads "7 LETTER Tribute", the numeral "7" bold at the top, "LETTER" in neat capitals beneath, and the word "Tribute" written in an elegant script, suggesting a personalised floral service. Peeking from behind the left and right edges of the square is a full floral word arrangement that spells "GRANDMA" in upright, three-dimensional letters. Each letter is completely faced in tight, white chrysanthemums or similar button blooms, their layered petals creating a soft, cloud-like surface. The florist has woven in small clusters of rich purple flowers-perhaps roses or lisianthus-along with glossy green foliage, placing them carefully along corners, curves, and bases of the letters so the colour never feels overpowering. The purple accents create a gentle contrast against the white, echoing the quiet sorrow and affection of a family saying goodbye. Everything is evenly lit, with no glare, giving the tribute a calm, composed presence. It feels like the sort of bespoke "GRANDMA" arrangement a family in Old Ford might order for a funeral at a nearby church, crafted by an experienced local florist who understands how to express love, loss, and gratitude through flowers, and who regularly delivers such tributes to homes and services across Old Ford and neighbouring East London areas.
7 LETTER TRIBUTE

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

A horizontal floral tribute spelling out "OUR MUM" is shown against a clean white background, the kind of design you might see resting beside a coffin or at a memorial gathering in Old Ford. Each letter stands tall in bold capitals, completely covered with tightly packed white chrysanthemums, their small, rounded petals forming a dense, velvety carpet of soft texture. The white blooms glow with a gentle brightness, evoking purity, peace, and a sense of stillness, as though the arrangement has just been placed in a quiet chapel. Around the edge of every letter runs a precise border of deep red flowers, probably spray carnations, placed so closely that they read as a continuous ribbon of colour. This crimson outline defines the contours of each letter and adds a heartfelt intensity, echoing the depth of a family's love for their mother. Behind the letters, partially hidden, is a dark green frame that secures the tribute and allows it to be displayed proudly at a funeral or graveside in and around Old Ford's local cemeteries. Three distinct accents of red roses, interlaced with fresh green foliage, are woven into the white chrysanthemum base. Each rose cluster is full and dewy, their layered petals swirling in rich red tones, placed thoughtfully between certain letters to draw the eye and add emotional emphasis to the words. This "OUR MUM" floral tribute feels both traditional and deeply personal, the kind of arrangement a local family might choose when they want flowers to speak gently yet clearly of gratitude, devotion, and the lasting bond between generations.
OUR MUM TRIBUTE
£290.00
Buy now
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

Centred against a crisp white background, a graceful "MUM" funeral tribute is shown in full, each letter carefully built from countless white spray chrysanthemums. The blooms are packed so closely that the surface appears as a continuous blanket of soft, cushiony petals, the kind of texture you can almost feel beneath your fingertips. This plush white canvas is edged and supported by a dark green framework running along the base, adding a slim band of colour and revealing the solid structure beneath the delicate flowers. At the top left of the first 'M', a vivid focal cluster of flowers catches the eye: a deep fuchsia rose with ruffled petals, surrounded by paler pink spray roses and buds, all threaded through with light, feathery fern leaves in fresh green. In the central 'U', a similar grouping nestles low in the curve, as if gently holding space for memories, while the second 'M' is crowned on its upper right side with a final mirror cluster of the same pink roses and fern foliage. The hints of hot pink and blush tone down the formality of the white, introducing a sense of warmth and tenderness that feels very personal. This type of "MUM" tribute is often chosen by families in Old Ford and the surrounding East London neighbourhoods as a final message of thanks and love, suitable for funeral processions, church or crematorium services, or quiet graveside visits, where the pure white flowers and gentle fragrance can offer comfort during moments of farewell.
PINK GARDEN MUM TRIBUTE

The image shows a lovingly crafted sympathy arrangement that spells out "MUM" in large, confident block letters, clearly defined against a bright white backdrop that lets the flowers take centre stage. Each letter is completely covered in small, immaculate white chrysanthemums, their myriad petals forming a smooth yet textured blanket of blooms that looks almost like soft fleece. The flowers are tightly arranged so no gaps are visible, hinting at meticulous, careful work by an experienced florist. A slim line of dark green floral ribbon and framework traces the outer edges, reinforcing the shape of each letter and providing a gentle, natural border. To warm the cool whiteness, three delicate accents of roses in soft peach and blush pink have been added, echoing the colour of early evening skies over Old Ford. One cluster decorates the upper left of the first "M", a second cluster rests at the curve at the bottom of the central "U", and the final grouping is poised gracefully on the upper right of the last "M". These roses are in varying stages of bloom, from tight buds to fully opened, velvety heads, and are supported by small sprays of fern-like greenery and broader leaves that add texture and movement. The tribute feels balanced and thoughtfully composed, ideal for a funeral cortege travelling through local streets or resting at a graveside service. It quietly expresses respect, gratitude, and lasting affection for a much-loved mother, with the white flowers symbolising peace and the warm roses offering a gentle note of hope and comfort to family and friends.
PEACH ACCENTS MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00

Soft white chrysanthemums form the voluminous letters spelling MUM, each one sculpted to read clearly from a distance and to invite closer inspection of texture and detail. The primary colour is a pure, comforting white - a cushion of tiny petals packed densely so the letters feel plush and substantial. Scattered through that white ground are accents of deep purple and magenta pom-style blooms that create a gentle pattern across each letter face, adding contrast and a sense of movement. Three rose bouquets in a warm pink tone act as focal moments: a small, elegant cluster accents the top left of the first M, a fuller bouquet of four to five spray roses nestles into the lower arc of the U, and a matching cluster finishes the top right of the second M. These roses are surrounded by verdant fern fronds and varied dark green leaves, and small blue florals punctuate the greenery like tiny cool stars. A fine purple ribbon along the letter edges lends a quiet finishing touch while a narrow dark connecting bar behind the letters keeps the set unified and stable for laying or standing. The overall impression, seen in soft daylight or the calm hush of an evening service, is one of delicate dignity - a design we regularly craft in Old Ford for families who want a personal, reverent tribute. Fresh, tactile, and carefully wired for presentation, this arrangement is shaped to honour a mother with both restraint and affection.

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.

Lovingly hand-assembled for a memorial, this floral name tribute spells KATE in bold, sculpted capital letters formed entirely from a close-set carpet of pure white spray chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemums' soft, cushion-like heads create a uniform, serene surface that conveys peace and quiet reverence. Each letter is edged with a pale, pleated pink ribbon that frames the white blooms with a whisper of colour and tender definition. Bold red anthuriums - glossy, heart-shaped spathes with their characteristic spadices - are nested in clusters across the letters, creating warm, emotive focal points against the white base. Lush green foliage, including narrow fern fronds and broader, glossy leaves, is woven through the design; slim green vines meander between letters to bind the composition into a single, flowing piece. A subtle drop shadow beneath the letters enhances the three-dimensional quality and gives the tribute a gentle presence on its bright background. As an East London florist would note, the visual balance here is quiet but assured - the clean whites, soft pink accents and vivid red anthuriums combine to express respect and remembrance. Prepared with care for families around Old Ford and the Victoria Park neighbourhood, this is the kind of bespoke sympathy arrangement you might find commissioned for a service on Roman Road or at a community chapel nearby. Crafted at Old Ford Florist, it reflects local care, floristry skill and considered detail.
DARLING KATE TRIBUTE
£200.00
Buy now
This elegant, bespoke name tribute reads KATE in large, sculpted block letters, each letter meticulously composed from a thick, voluminous layer of small white chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemums create a smooth, cloud-like texture across the face of every letter, their petals layered so densely they form a soft, almost textile surface. A fine pale pink ribbon is pleated and laid along the outer edges, introducing a whisper of warmth and a refined finish that frames the letters like a gentle blush. Each letter carries a single, vivid red rose as a reserved but striking punctuation - the rose placed on the lower left stroke of the K, crowning the peak of the A, marking the base of the T's crossbar, and set into the middle arm of the E. Around each rose a generous spray of fresh green foliage - broad leaves and feathery fern tips - cradles the bloom, adding natural contrast, sculptural shadow, and a sense of renewal. The scent is quiet but present: the deep, velvety aroma of roses overlaid on the faint, clean scent of chrysanthemums. Presented against a white backdrop, the arrangement reads as a composed, respectful memorial piece, suited for a funeral or celebration of life where clarity and tenderness are required. The workmanship is thoughtful and measured, conveying both the intimacy of a personalised tribute and the careful technique of an experienced florist in the Old Ford area who understands how to balance color, texture, and sentiment.
RED KATE CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00

Presented against a bright white background, this standing floral tribute spells 'KATE' in large, three-dimensional letters formed entirely from dense, pristine white chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemums' tightly packed heads create a smooth, cloud-like texture that visually soothes and invites touch. Each letter is gently edged with a pale pink satin ribbon whose soft sheen defines the silhouette and adds a whisper of colour along the contours. Vivid clusters of accent flowers punctuate the white expanse: bold, velvety fuchsia-pink roses paired with delicate pastel pink spray roses sit alongside small, deep purple or blue blooms-likely statice or lisianthus-creating a layered contrast. The placement is intentional and balanced: a floral cluster adorns the diagonal of the 'K', the lower right curve of the 'A' carries another grouping, the base of the 'T' is softened by blooms, and the 'E' displays two touches of colour on its middle and bottom bars. Varied greenery-delicate fern fronds and smooth eucalyptus leaves-frames each cluster, adding depth, gentle motion, and a quiet eucalyptus scent beneath the roses. This composition reads as a dignified, personalised sympathy tribute suitable for a funeral chapel or a celebration of life by Victoria Park or Roman Road. Prepared with local care and floral expertise by Old Ford Florist, it conveys tenderness and respect while reflecting the craft of bespoke memorial floristry in the Old Ford area.

Set against a simple white backdrop, the name "KATE" is spelled out in four striking floral letters, designed as a deeply personal funeral tribute that feels both soft and strong. Each letter is completely filled with tightly clustered white chrysanthemums, their small blooms touching edge to edge so that the surface appears plush and cloud-like, with gentle shadows between the petals adding texture and depth. A fine border of pale pink ribbon traces the outer shape of each capital, the satin lightly ruffled so it catches the light and lends a delicate, almost garment-like finish to the tribute. Carefully placed among the white flowers are vivid accent blooms that bring colour, symbolism, and character. On the K and T, yellow-green cymbidium orchids with warm burgundy markings sit proud on beds of glossy green leaves, their exotic faces drawing the eye. The A and E are adorned with bold, heart-shaped red anthurium flowers, their smooth, waxy petals and upright spadices creating a striking contrast against the softness of the chrysanthemums. Around these focal flowers, rich green foliage, including slender leaves and airy fern fronds, threads through the design, while thin, flexible green stems and tendrils are woven from one letter to the next, gently linking them together. The arrangement has the calm, measured beauty you might expect from a skilled local florist preparing a sympathy piece for a funeral in Old Ford, perhaps travelling on to a quiet service or a family gathering nearby. It conveys love, remembrance, and respect, offering a graceful way to say goodbye to KATE with flowers that feel intimate and thoughtfully made.
SPECIAL CUSTOM TRIBUTE

This elegant, custom name tribute spells KATE in substantial freestanding letters made entirely from hundreds of small, immaculate white chrysanthemums. Each bloom is packed tightly to produce a uniform, cloud-like surface, softened further by a pale blush satin ribbon that traces the inner edges of every letter and adds a gentle, feminine frame. Hot pink roses punctuate the design as emotional focal points - two roses sit on the left flank of the K, a single striking rose nestles at the base of the A, one vivid bloom anchors the lower stem of the T, and a pair of roses decorate the right side of the E - each surrounded by mixed green foliage, including ferny fronds, glossy ruscus, and a few variegated leaves. Small light-pink buds and delicate spray flowers are woven near the roses to provide texture and a soft, garden-like scent. Photographed against a crisp white backdrop in even, soft light, the arrangement appears almost luminous; the whites seem to glow while the pinks read as a warm, consoling embrace. Subtle shadows beneath each letter confirm it is freestanding and give the whole composition a sculptural presence. Intended for memorials, funerals, or quiet celebrations of life in Old Ford and the surrounding Bow and Mile End communities, this tribute conveys tenderness, meticulous craftsmanship, and a respectful, personal farewell.
ELEGANT CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00

This carefully composed floral name tribute spells BETTY in substantial capital letters, each letter made to read tactilely as well as visually against a pristine white background. The main body of every letter is a dense field of creamy white chrysanthemums, their rounded heads and layered petals creating a soft, almost velveteen surface that absorbs light and calms the eye. Threaded through those white expanses are vivid magenta to purple chrysanthemums or small carnations that form inner patterns and outlines, lending sculpted definition and a quiet jewel-like intensity. Each letter is trimmed with a narrow purple ribbon, a subtle border that unifies the composition and catches the light on its folds. Delicate mini-bouquets are placed with thoughtful restraint on the B, the central T, and the Y: soft pink roses, some newly opened and others in bud, mingle with little blue blooms that suggest delphinium or cornflower, while fern-like foliage and fresh greenery soften the junctions and add a garden-scented feel. The contrast of snowy white, rich purple, blushing pink and clear blue creates a serene yet expressive statement of remembrance, appropriate for a funeral, wake, or celebration of life. As a local tribute suited to families in Old Ford and the nearby Bethnal Green lanes, this bespoke piece offers both artistry and comfort, its textures and colours chosen to honour a life and to read clearly in floral displays, printed notices, and memorial settings.

An exquisitely crafted memorial by a local florist, this three-dimensional name tribute spells "JENNA" in large, uppercase letters, each letter carefully composed of dense clusters of snowy white chrysanthemums or similar small, velvety carnations. The overall effect is soothing and tactile-a smooth, pillowy texture that invites the hand to rest and the eye to linger. A narrow, vivid band of purple ribbon or tiny lavender blooms outlines the internal curves and bases of each letter, providing subtle definition and a graceful contrast to the pristine white. Thoughtfully placed accent posies appear on the upper left curve of the 'J', at the base center of the first 'N', and on the upper right arc of the 'A'; these clusters carry blush-pink and soft lavender spray roses, a few lighter cream or pale yellow roses, and delicate dark-green fern fronds that introduce movement and natural depth. The floral clusters break the monochrome with warm, intimate notes, while the connecting slender dark bars reveal the concealed support that keeps the letters level and dignified during a memorial. The soft fragrance of the roses blends with the clean, green scent of the chrysanthemums to create a calm, reflective presence in a wake or funeral space. Prepared with the care you'd expect from Old Ford Florist, and suitable for delivery across Old Ford, Bow, and towards Roman Road and Victoria Park, this personalised tribute offers a heartfelt way to honour a loved one's name at a service or at a graveside gathering.

Presented on a bright white field, this bespoke floral tribute spells H E (heart) U with the care of a neighbourhood florist on Old Ford Road, each letter formed from compact white chrysanthemums that read as soft, tactile panels. A pale blush satin ribbon traces every contour, its faint sheen creating a gentle outline against the white and catching the morning light that might stream through a nearby Victoria Park window. The H wears a small accent of two vivid fuchsia roses set among tiny red-pink berries and deep green ferny foliage; the E is similarly bordered but carries a more central splash of three fuchsia roses along its middle arm; the U mirrors the H with another pair of roses nestled into its inner curve, tying the composition together visually. Between the letters, a full heart replaces the conventional I and is filled with a romantic mix of soft pink carnations, delicate lisianthus or small garden roses, and pale green eucalyptus leaves that soften both colour and scent. The result reads as a personal message-grief held with love or love held with remembrance-reflecting the kind of thoughtful tributes Old Ford Florist creates for Roman Road Market families and local services. Texturally, the dense chrysanthemums offer a quiet backdrop while the glossy roses and ruffled carnations provide focal points; the eucalyptus adds a cool, herbal note. This piece feels like a spoken letter of flowers: intimate, reverent, and designed to comfort, celebrate, or mark a moment of deep affection with refined simplicity.

A tender lettered tribute carefully crafted to honour a cherished grandmother, this MAM arrangement reads as three capacious, capital letters fashioned from a dense carpet of small white chrysanthemum sprays. Each floret presses close to its neighbours, producing a soft, plush surface that feels almost cloud-like to the eye and suggests gentle quietude. The perimeter of every letter is crisply defined by a bright, sunny yellow pleated ribbon that wraps the edges, offering a warm, uplifting contrast and a finished, graceful silhouette. At either end a modest cluster punctuates the arrangement: a tightly furled yellow rose bud sits at the heart of each accent, surrounded by delicate white freesia or similar small white buds and lifted by slender dark-green fern fronds and glossy leaves, which create depth and a fresh, aromatic green note. A dark green or black horizontal support bar is concealed behind the upper sections, giving the piece solidity for standing displays at the service. Set against a pure white backdrop and captured in soft, diffused light, the floral textures-velvety petals, satin ribbon, and polished foliage-read very clearly, offering a sense of warmth and remembrance. As a florist who knows the streets and communities of Old Ford, from Roman Road to the quieter lanes near Victoria Park, I find this palette of white and yellow conveys both reverence and sunny recollection, inviting those present to remember moments of laughter and the small comforts shared over tea and conversation.
TREASURED NAN TRIBUTE

This heartfelt arrangement shapes the name NANA from a dense carpet of pure white chrysanthemums, each letter built up from dozens of small, button-like blooms to form softly rounded, sculptural typography. The flowers are planted tight enough to read as a single, continuous plane of white yet close inspection reveals the individual blooms and the delicate, papery petals that give the letters a tender, handmade quality. A bright green border of leafy foliage or ribbon hugs the perimeter of every character, the cool green providing definition and a lively contrast to the snow-white blossoms. Photographed against a clean white background with steady, natural light, the piece shows subtle relief and shadow that emphasize the arrangement's three-dimensional craftsmanship. The scent is faintly herbal and clean, the chrysanthemum notes understated but evocative, while the greenery adds a fresh, cool counterpoint. Intended as a sympathy tribute for a grandmother or matriarch, this floral word conveys love, respect, and remembrance without ostentation; it is the type of memorial composition families in Old Ford and nearby Roman Road ask for when arranging a chapel display or graveside committal. The effect is both solemn and comforting, an emblem of family devotion that reads clearly from across a hall yet invites closer, personal reflection when friends and relatives approach to leave flowers or touch the soft petals.

A carefully composed floral homage spells out "NANA" in bold, three-dimensional letters, each one densely formed from tiny chrysanthemum blooms and set against a bright white backdrop to ensure the name reads clearly from a distance. The two 'N' letters are made from rich magenta-purple chrysanthemums whose tightly packed petals create a luxuriously textured surface; each bloom shows a tiny yellow centre that brightens the overall tone like distant candlelight. The two 'A' letters alternate in pristine ivory chrysanthemums, their soft cream petals offering a calm, understated contrast to the vivid purples. Every letter is edged with a bright lime-green ribbon or closely arranged foliage, a crisp border that frames each character and lifts the arrangement with a fresh, natural note. Soft, diffused studio light highlights the sculpted form and subtle depth between blooms, while the composition's neat, three-dimensional build signals careful, experienced workmanship suitable for funeral services, memorials, or a graveside farewell. As Old Ford florist hands would know well, this design speaks directly to families honouring a grandmother-its palette of deep devotion and gentle purity communicates love, respect, and remembrance. Available for local delivery across Old Ford and neighbouring Bow, the piece is presented for simple placement at a service or as a keepsake photo for relatives, combining traditional sympathy floristry with the attentive craft of our local community around Roman Road and Old Ford Road.
PURPLE & WHITE NANA TRIBUTE

As a florist who has crafted many bespoke memorials for neighbours around Old Ford and the nearby Roman Road Market, this tribute spells AUNT in large, composed letters made entirely from immaculate white spray chrysanthemums. Each small bloom is arranged so tightly that the letters read like softened planes of white, the petal texture reminiscent of summer clouds; here and there faint yellow throats add a natural, human detail that keeps the composition warm rather than austere. A deep purple satin ribbon, carefully pleated and pinned, outlines each letter in a ruffled frame that lifts the eye and provides a gracious contrast to the floral carpet. The studio's soft side-lighting highlights the satin's sheen and the chrysanthemums' delicate ruffles, while gentle grey shadows beneath the forms emphasise their three-dimensional build and the artisan frames that support them. The scent is understated-clean, green, and slightly dewy-complementing the arrangement's quiet tone. Intended as a personalised memorial or funeral tribute, the piece balances sturdiness with tenderness: the robust letter shapes confer dignity, the white blooms and lavender trim convey affection and remembrance. At Old Ford Florist we often deliver such pieces to local chapels or community halls near Mile End and Hertford Union Canal, where families request a sympathetic, handcrafted expression of love and farewell. This composition feels like an embrace made visible, a clear, gentle message that honours a cherished aunt.
SPECIAL AUNT SENTIMENT TRIBUTE

An intimate floral tribute that spells "DAD" in three sculpted letters, each formed from a tapestry of whites, purples and verdant greens and presented against a bright white backdrop to accentuate every texture. Large ivory gerbera daisies with their dark centres anchor the composition alongside creamy white roses and full white carnations, while delicate eustoma or small lisianthus whisper a softer tone. Scattered among the whites are soft mauve and lavender roses, ruffled carnations and tiny clusters of deeper purple filler that give the piece a gentle dignity and a hint of warmth. Each letter is framed by abundant, feathery fern fronds and filled with green button chrysanthemums for depth and freshness; the dark grey structural base is visible in places, lending crisp formality to the shapes. In the quiet light typical of Old Ford mornings, near Bow Road and the River Lea, the gentle perfume of roses and chrysanthemums feels like a consoling presence. As a florist based in the area - Old Ford Florist - I imagine arranging this for a family gathering or funeral service along Roman Road or close to Victoria Park, selecting stems for longevity and texture so the tribute remains serene through a service. The overall mood is respectful and heartfelt, a tactile message of gratitude and remembrance: the cool whites signify peace, the mauves add reverent warmth, and the green accents bring quiet life to a personal remembrance.

Displayed across a bright white field, the letters B-E-S-T are sculpted from tight clusters of fresh flowers and lush greenery, each letter generous and full. Dominant tones of warm yellow and pure white are tempered by soft lavender-purples and pops of magenta-pink, creating a balanced, comforting colour story. Texturally, the arrangement mixes large, multi-petaled white chrysanthemum-like blooms with sunny yellow roses and gerbera daisies that seem to hold light in their centres; delicate lisianthus or small purple chrysanthemums add a quiet, refined shadow; while vibrant pink spray roses or carnations ripple through the composition like cheerful notes. Small clusters of pale green and white filler flowers offer a soft granularity between the main blooms, and dark green fern fronds are intentionally placed to soften the letters' edges and give the piece a gentle, living frame. A discreet dark-green or metal skeleton is visible in tiny gaps-particularly across the E and T-revealing sturdy craftsmanship behind the lush surface. Shot straight-on with clear, even lighting, the image highlights petal texture, leaf sheen, and the careful density of the floristry. As a local tribute often chosen for funerals or remembrance services, the piece conveys love, respect and a warm memory of a life celebrated. As a florist who works around Old Ford and nearby Roman Road markets, I note how the palette feels suited both to seaside brightness and to quiet remembrance, carrying scent and solace in equal measure.

A lovingly shaped sympathy piece spelling PAPA in bold, capital letters, each character formed from dense clusters of immaculate white spray chrysanthemums and occasional creamy carnations for softness. The blooms are arranged to create a slightly rounded, textured surface on each letter, like gentle cushions of petals set side by side, while a folded lime-green ribbon or slender foliage border traces each letter's edge, offering a crisp, verdant frame that lifts the white into sharper relief. Photographed on a stark white background under soft, neutral studio light, the design reads with quiet clarity and deliberate simplicity, a floral punctuation of farewell and affection. As a florist in Old Ford I picture this piece placed at a chapel near Victoria Park or beside a graveside service reached via Roman Road, its clean palette symbolising purity, respect, and peaceful remembrance. The scent, though subtle in the photograph, would be a delicate wash of chrysanthemum sweetness and fresh green stems, a scent often associated with solace. This is the kind of personalised tribute families ask for when they want a direct, intimate message to a father or grandfather; the single word PAPA carries warmth and private memory. Prepared with experienced hands and steady technique, the piece shows careful stem wiring and dense packing so letters hold their shape during delivery. Old Ford Florist can craft and deliver this style across Old Ford, Bow and Hackney Wick for wakes or funeral readings, ensuring the floral message arrives with the dignity and tenderness the occasion deserves.
WHITE PAPA TRIBUTE

The floral tribute in this image spells "GRANDPA" in large, upright capital letters, arranged horizontally on a slim, dark supporting bar that keeps the display steady for a funeral or memorial in Old Ford. Each letter is carefully shaped and completely covered in small white chrysanthemums or similar button blooms, placed so closely together that they form a plush, cushion-like texture with tiny hints of creamy centres. Tracing the outline of each letter is a delicate fringe of light lavender or pale purple flowers, giving a soft halo effect that defines the contours of the G, R, A, N, D, P, and final A without overpowering the purity of the white. On the first letter, "G", a graceful cluster of peach roses rests to one side, some blooms just beginning to unfurl, surrounded by short stems of white lily buds and polished green leaves that add depth and a gentle woodland freshness. The first "A" carries a single peach rose and foliage, echoing the design of the "G" but with a quieter simplicity. A similar grouping appears on the "D", where two or three peach roses are cradled by greenery, and again on the last "A", repeating the motif like a tender refrain. Set against a clean, bright white background, the entire arrangement feels calm, ordered, and deeply respectful, the colours and textures subtly balanced. Crafted in the style of a local Old Ford florist, this personalised grandad tribute would be chosen by family members wanting a dignified, heartfelt expression of love and farewell at a service, wake, or crematorium gathering in the area.
ADMIRED GRANDPA TRIBUTE

Meticulously constructed for a funeral or memorial, these two freestanding floral initials-B and A-are formed from a dense carpet of small, immaculate white chrysanthemums, their layered petals creating a soft, cloud-like texture that reads as purity and calm. Each letter is sharply defined by a ruffled royal-blue satin ribbon wrapped around the edges, the deep blue framing the white and lending a formal, respectful tone to the piece. The upper left curve of the B features a concentrated cluster of rich, deep-red roses, from tight buds to partly opened blooms, whose velvety fragrance would be subtle yet resonant among the chrysanthemums. Sprigs of intensely blue delphinium-type flowers punctuate the red cluster, their upright, spiky forms introducing contrast and a cool, vivid accent, while delicate pale-green trailing foliage and darker leaves bring movement and softness. Mirroring this, the A bears a complementary arrangement on its lower right, repeating the same red roses, electric-blue florets and green tendrils so the two letters read as a unified, symmetrical tribute. Both letters are mounted side-by-side on a narrow, dark green rectangular stand that keeps them stable and visible at memorial services. The neutral, crisp white background heightens the colours and textures, allowing the workmanship to speak clearly. As an Old Ford florist familiar with venues from Victoria Park events to services near Roman Road, we often design letter tributes like this to convey a personal message of remembrance and respect while maintaining classic, understated elegance.
BA PERSONALISED TRIBUTE

The image shows a lovingly crafted funeral flower tribute spelling "GRANDMA" in bold, three-dimensional letters, the kind of piece a family might choose from a local Old Ford florist for a final farewell. Each capital letter is completely covered in tightly clustered white cushion chrysanthemums, so closely placed that no gaps of foliage show through, creating a soft, quilted surface that feels gentle and pure. Nestled just under the blooms, a faint edging of pale purple ribbon surrounds each letter, outlining the shapes with a delicate, lavender-toned shadow that lends calm elegance and a touch of femininity. The serene white base is punctuated with deep, emotive red: on the "G," a generous cluster of dark red roses and a distinctive variegated red-and-cream calla lily sit at the lower curve, their velvety petals adding drama and depth. The first "A" carries a single red anthurium at its foot, its glossy, heart-like form catching the light. At the centre of the word, the "M" is adorned with another grouping of red roses paired with a matching anthurium, while the final "A" is finished with a lone red anthurium, bringing the sequence of accents to a quiet, balanced close. The letters rest on a discreet dark green metal frame that supports them from behind, unseen from the front but giving stability from chapel to graveside. Photographed against a clean white backdrop, every petal and ribbon is in crisp focus, evoking the soft fragrance and hushed atmosphere of a memorial service in Old Ford or nearby Victoria Park, a thoughtful floral message of love for a cherished grandmother.
