A classic floral cross designed for a funeral or memorial is depicted here, photographed against a pure white background that draws full attention to its thoughtful details. The cross itself is constructed entirely from fresh white spray chrysanthemums, each compact bloom set close to the next so that the entire surface becomes a thick, luxuriant cushion of petals. This dense coverage gives the arrangement a soothing, almost cloud-like appearance, expressing purity and peace. Running precisely around the outside edge of the cross is a border of royal blue satin ribbon, its slightly glossy texture offering a smart, defined frame that contrasts beautifully with the matte white flowers. At the very centre, where the horizontal and vertical arms meet, a carefully composed cluster of royal blue flowers serves as the heart of the design. Ruffled blue carnations, dyed to a deep, striking shade, are combined with more slender upright florets, reminiscent of blue delphiniums or orchids, which rise gracefully to create gentle movement and height. Intertwined among these are dark green fern fronds and other glossy leaves, giving a sense of depth, freshness, and quiet natural beauty. Down the vertical section of the cross, the word "DAD" has been tenderly spelled out using the same royal blue ribbon, each letter shaped by hand from loops and folds and then secured into the chrysanthemum base so that the name stands out clearly but tastefully. The overall effect is deeply moving, evoking a father's memory with dignity and warmth. It is the kind of tribute that families in Swiss Cottage might choose for a funeral at a nearby church, a service along Finchley Road, or a gathering after a committal, trusting Swiss Cottage Florist to create a piece that reflects both their grief and their love in a traditional, meaningful form.

In this image, a beautifully arranged floral cross lies against a clean, bright white background, emphasising its serene white and blue colour scheme. The cross's entire surface is covered with small white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom set tightly against its neighbours so that the flowers form a thick, even layer, almost like a soft white quilt. Around the outside edge of the cross, a carefully placed band of royal blue satin ribbon traces the full outline, its smooth, gently shining surface lending a refined, ceremonial air to the design. At the central intersection, where the arms of the cross meet, a vivid cluster of royal blue flowers creates a focal point: frilled blue carnations provide fullness, while more slender, upright stems, similar to blue delphiniums or orchids, rise slightly above them, adding movement and graceful height. These blooms are framed by dark green fern fronds and other foliage, which introduce contrast and a touch of natural calm, as though a little patch of garden has been brought into the arrangement. Running neatly down the vertical section of the cross, the letters "DAD" are spelled out using the same royal blue ribbon, folded and looped to create clear, distinct lettering against the white chrysanthemum base. This personal detail turns the floral cross into a heartfelt tribute specifically for a father, conveying love, remembrance, and quiet respect. It feels like the kind of thoughtful memorial piece a family in Swiss Cottage or the surrounding streets might send to a funeral service, perhaps close to Regent's Park or along Avenue Road, relying on a local florist to deliver something both traditional and deeply meaningful.

    The tribute was perfect. I requested to have the ribbon color changed and they were nice enough to arrange that. Good florists.
