RED ROSE DAD TRIBUTE
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
3 LETTER TRIBUTE
£155.00
A large floral tribute spelling out "DAD" in upright, block letters is shown against a bright white backdrop, capturing the gentle solemnity of a funeral arrangement prepared by experienced Sydenham florists. Each of the three letters is completely filled with immaculate white chrysanthemums or comparable small white flowers, placed so closely together that they form an even, velvety blanket of petals, suggesting softness and calm in a time of loss. Around the edge of every letter runs a smooth emerald green ribbon, lightly ruffled to create texture and shadow, framing the word with a fresh, natural border that subtly recalls the greenery of nearby Mayow Park. Behind the flowers, just visible in places, is a dark support frame with horizontal bars, indicating that the tribute is designed to stand solidly along a hearse, graveside, or in the chapel. Delicate accent sprays break the uniformity in a thoughtful, balanced way. The first "D" carries a small posy of white freesia and shining green leaves near its upper left curve, the blooms opening gently as though in quiet prayer. Two long, curved green stems arc from this point towards the central "A," where they form an eye-catching focal spray. Nestled among more white freesia and foliage are two rich, deep purple calla lilies, their elegant, trumpet-shaped flowers adding depth of colour and a feeling of dignified formality. On the final "D," a more compact cluster of white freesia and greenery rests near the top right, echoing the first arrangement and visually completing the tribute. This carefully balanced composition conveys enduring affection, sorrow, and gratitude for a father, suitable for delivery to funeral services across Sydenham.

YELLOW ROSES DAD TRIBUTE
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
The image shows a deeply personal funeral flower tribute spelling out "DAD" in three separate, freestanding letters, set against a bright white backdrop that lets the colours and textures shine. Each letter is outlined and underpinned with lush, feathery green fern foliage, giving the design a natural softness, like the shaded greenery you might notice on a thoughtful walk through Sydenham's Wells Park. Inside these fern-framed shapes, the florist has tightly massed a generous selection of fresh blooms so that no gaps of foam or mechanics are visible, only a continuous tapestry of petals. Large white chrysanthemums and open white gerbera daisies form the main surface of each letter, their rounded centres and layered petals creating a serene, almost pillow-like effect that speaks of peace, purity, and remembrance. Threaded thoughtfully through the whites, clusters of yellow gerberas and delicate yellow spray roses add warmth and hope, like brief shafts of sunlight on a grey day. Deeper, more contemplative tones appear in the form of purple lisianthus, magenta spray roses, and small lavender flowers, while bright green button chrysanthemums add small sparks of freshness. All the blooms are angled to face forward, ensuring that the word "DAD" reads clearly from across a chapel or crematorium hall. Slim, dark green bars connect the three letters along the base, keeping the tribute stable while remaining visually discreet. This arrangement has the quiet dignity and emotional weight typical of local funeral flowers in Sydenham, a loving way for family and friends to express gratitude, memory, and enduring love for a father who has passed.

PINK ROSES MUM TRIBUTE
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Displayed against a clean, uncluttered white background, this "OUR MUM" funeral flower tribute appears as a calm, beautifully balanced composition, the kind a family in Sydenham might place beside the coffin or at a memorial gathering. Each large block letter is carefully formed on a hidden frame and completely covered with tiny white chrysanthemum-style blooms, arranged so closely that no gaps or stems are visible. The petals create a thick, plush surface with a gentle sheen, as if the letters were sculpted from soft white velvet. Framing this purity is a continuous edge of rich red flowers, likely spray carnations or similar clustered blossoms, their ruffled petals hugging every curve and corner. This crimson border doesn't overpower the design; instead, it provides a protective, almost embracing outline, suggesting love wrapped around remembrance. Three distinct rose sprays, made of deep red roses and glossy greenery, are placed with evident care: one between the first two letters, another near the centre of the word, and a final cluster at the end, close to the last "M". The roses are open and full, with layered petals that catch the light, while the green leaves and ferns offer subtle contrast and a sense of freshness. Slim dark green supports can just be glimpsed behind the flowers, linking the letters and hinting at the craftsmanship needed for safe delivery and display. The tribute feels peaceful yet deeply emotional, a traditional "OUR MUM" arrangement that quietly expresses gratitude, devotion, and respect during a time of loss.

PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
The image shows a tender "MUM" floral tribute, the three capital letters arranged in a neat line and photographed against an unbroken white background so the details of the design are easy to imagine. Each letter is built on a sturdy frame edged with deep green ribbon, and every surface is densely pressed with small white chrysanthemum heads, their overlapping petals forming a plush, almost cloud-like texture. The white blooms have that soft, slightly domed shape that catches the light in subtle highlights and shadows, suggesting freshly cut flowers chosen with care. Adding warmth and personality, clusters of pink flowers and greenery are placed with intention: on the upper left of the first "M" sits a ruffled fuchsia rose surrounded by smaller blush-pink spray roses and light, lacy fern leaves; at the base of the "U" a similar cluster nestles in the curve, its colours echoing the first; and the second "M" is crowned at the upper right with an identical grouping. These three accents of pink and green create a gentle diagonal flow across the tribute, drawing the eye from side to side like a quiet conversation. The overall impression is of a classic funeral flower arrangement, the sort that might be delivered from a Sydenham florist to a local service, resting alongside other tributes as a final message of gratitude and love for a much-loved mum. The contrast between the serene white chrysanthemums and the vivid pink roses feels both dignified and deeply affectionate.
PINK GARDEN MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Set against a clean white background, this elegant funeral tribute carefully spells out "MUM" in large, confident capital letters, each one formed from a dense bed of snowy white spray chrysanthemums. The petals of the chrysanthemums are tightly clustered, creating a soft, velvety texture that almost resembles freshly fallen snow, smooth and unbroken, suggesting purity, peace, and a quiet farewell. Around the edges, you can see subtle glimpses of dark green ribbon and the supporting framework, which gently shapes each letter and keeps the flowers neatly presented for the journey from a Sydenham home or funeral director to the final service. Three accents of colour bring a tender warmth to the arrangement: clusters of soft peach and blush pink roses, arranged with a florist's careful eye. One cluster rests near the top left of the first "M", another is nestled in the base of the "U", and the final group lights up the top right of the last "M", giving balance and harmony to the design. The roses vary from tight buds to more open blooms, echoing different stages of life and love, and are surrounded by a mix of fern fronds and glossy green leaves that tumble naturally around them. This combination of crisp white and gentle peach tones creates a sense of comfort and dignity, well suited to a funeral or wake in and around Sydenham, whether at a nearby church, crematorium, or a family gathering to say a final goodbye. The tribute feels personal and heartfelt, like a last, loving thank you from children or grandchildren to the mum who held everything together.

PURPLE AND WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE & WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
The image shows a touching "MUM" floral tribute, designed in large, three-dimensional letters that sit against a clean, white background so every detail can be appreciated. Each letter is meticulously covered with hundreds of small chrysanthemums in fuchsia-purple and deep magenta shades, the flowers packed so closely that they create a thick, velvety carpet of colour. Their subtle lime-green centres dot the surface like tiny lights, lending the piece energy and freshness without losing its solemn, respectful character. A soft, ruffled ribbon in the palest pink runs neatly around the edges of the letters, giving a handcrafted, tailored finish that feels especially fitting for honouring a cherished mum. On the upper left of the first "M", two fully open pink roses and several rosebuds nestle into a spray of glossy leaves and feathery fern fronds, their petals gently unfurling as though captured in a quiet moment of bloom. The "U" is anchored at its base with a delicate arrangement of blush pink roses, creamy white blossoms, and fresh greenery that curves in harmony with the letter, echoing the embrace of a mother's arms. On the upper right of the final "M", a similar cluster of deep pink roses and lush foliage balances the design and adds symmetry. Crafted with the care you'd expect from a local Sydenham florist who understands family goodbyes, this personalised funeral tribute feels both intimate and dignified, an arrangement that might be placed lovingly at a crematorium service, church altar, or graveside in and around Sydenham to express enduring love and gratitude.

LOVING CUSTOM TRIBUTE
£200.00
Set against a clean, uncluttered white background, this floral name tribute spells "KATE" in bold, easily readable capital letters, each one formed from a dense bed of snowy white chrysanthemums. The flowers are packed closely together, their small rounded petals overlapping to create a soft, velvety surface with a gentle sheen, echoing the calm stillness often felt on quiet mornings around Sydenham's tree-lined streets. A pale blush-pink ribbon is neatly pleated around the outer rim of each letter, its satin finish catching the light and giving a subtle, feminine ruffle to the design, softening the strong letter shapes into something tender and embracing.   

Within the white cushioning, thoughtfully placed accent flowers offer colour, symbolism, and focus. On the "K" and "T", lime-toned cymbidium orchids with rich red-brown throats sit proudly amid dark, polished foliage and feathery greens, like little jewels of remembrance. Their tropical clarity contrasts beautifully with the gentle chrysanthemums, standing out the way a cherished memory does in times of grief. The "A" and "E" are marked by glossy, heart-shaped red anthuriums, their waxy petals and pronounced central spadix shining against the white blooms, a bold expression of enduring love and gratitude. Lush greenery threads between these focal clusters, while slender, flexible green strands arc gracefully from letter to letter, visually linking the name as one continuous tribute rather than four separate pieces.   

This bespoke floral lettering would typically rest on a stand at a funeral or memorial service in or around Sydenham, perhaps travelling from a local family home to a nearby church. It conveys a deeply personal farewell, showing how carefully designed funeral flowers can speak when words are difficult to find.

WHITE PAPA TRIBUTE
£200.00
A dignified floral name tribute stretches horizontally to spell "GRANDPA," each capital letter densely packed with snowy white chrysanthemums that create a plush, almost cloud-like surface. The petals overlap tightly, forming a soft, cushiony texture that would feel cool and velvety to the touch, like a freshly gathered garden posy on a still morning in Sydenham's Mayow Park. Around the edges of every letter, a slim outline of pale lavender or soft lilac flowers traces the contours, lending definition and a gentle hint of colour that frames the word beautifully against its plain white backdrop. The pastel border wraps delicately around each curve and corner, so the tribute reads clearly even in a large chapel or at a quiet graveside gathering off Sydenham Road. To break the expanse of white, clusters of peach roses and polished green foliage are tucked into four of the letters. On the "G" and "D," two or three roses and slender white lily buds form graceful focal points, while the first and last "A" are each adorned with a single peach rose, suggesting individual moments or memories. The roses are at different stages of opening, their soft petals and subtle fragrance adding warmth and tenderness to the cooler tones. All seven letters rest on a discreet dark support bar, designed so the arrangement can stand securely on an easel or along the front of a hearse. The overall impression is of a thoughtfully crafted, personalised funeral flower tribute that expresses affection, gratitude, and quiet remembrance for a cherished grandfather from Sydenham.
ADMIRED GRANDPA TRIBUTE
£330.00
BA TRIBUTE
BA PERSONALISED TRIBUTE
£100.00
Set against a clean, white studio background, this memorial arrangement spells out "GRANDMA" in proud, evenly spaced capital letters, the kind often chosen by Sydenham families to stand beside the coffin or be placed gently at the graveside. Each letter is formed from compact clusters of white cushion chrysanthemums, their tiny, starburst centres and rounded petals pressed closely together to create a smooth, plush surface with no gaps, suggesting purity and peace. Peeking softly around the contours of each character is a delicate band of pale purple ribbon or backing, giving a subtle lavender halo that adds depth and a soothing, almost spiritual tone. Carefully positioned among the letters are bright red accents that symbolise love and gratitude. In the opening 'G', a lush grouping of red roses, enriched by fresh greenery, curves into the letter's shape, accompanied by a distinctive variegated calla lily whose white and red streaks add a touch of artistry. The first 'A' rests on a single red anthurium, its waxy, heart-shaped bloom offering a quiet nod to the affection felt for a grandmother who may have lived close to Sydenham Road or enjoyed walks through Crystal Palace Park. At the centre, the 'M' carries more deep red roses and another red anthurium, echoing the earlier sentiment, while the final 'A' is finished with one last anthurium, gently tying the tribute together. A dark green frame discreetly supports the entire design, allowing the flowers to remain the focus. This handcrafted piece, typical of the care given by local Sydenham florists, radiates a balance of serenity and heartfelt emotion, perfect for a funeral, memorial service, or celebration of life.
