Funeral Flowers
This image shows a beautifully crafted heart-shaped floral tribute, photographed directly from above so the full shape and detail are clearly visible against a pure white background. The main body of the heart is packed with countless small white spray chrysanthemums, each bloom nestled closely into the next until the surface appears soft, velvety, and almost pillow-like. Their crisp whiteness creates a sense of stillness and peace, echoing the calm stretches of water that run through Thamesmead. A narrow band of emerald green ribbon is elegantly pleated around the edge of the heart, outlining its contours with a neat, satin border that adds structure and gentle contrast without taking attention away from the flowers. Diagonally across the upper left curve of the heart runs a striking cluster of deep magenta calla lilies. Several are fully open, their graceful, trumpet-shaped spathes curling around dark centres, while others remain partially unfurled, arching and trailing lightly toward the lower right. This creates a sense of movement, as if the blooms are quietly flowing across the white base. Nestled among the lilies are small sprays of white freesias, or similar delicate blossoms, adding intricacy to the arrangement and suggesting a fresh, subtly sweet scent. Fine fern fronds and glossy green leaves weave through the spray, providing texture, depth, and a natural frame around the feature flowers. The composition feels both dignified and intimate, a thoughtful expression of love, remembrance, and sympathy suitable for a funeral or memorial service, prepared with care by Thamesmead Florist for families across the local community.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED HEART
£95.00
In this image, the Union Jack is reimagined as a plush, rectangular floral tribute, its iconic pattern defined by carefully composed fields of red, white, and blue blossoms. The outer quarters of the flag are built from small, densely arranged blue flowers that appear almost cloud-like when viewed up close, yet from afar they read as a smooth, even backdrop. Rising from this blue base, wide bars of vivid red blooms form the strong vertical and horizontal arms of St. George's Cross, their petals nestled so tightly that no gaps interrupt the colour. Finer red diagonals stretch from corner to corner, capturing the subtle angles of St. Patrick's Cross. Immediately surrounding these red sections, slender ribbons of white flowers add sharp definition, and in the diagonals the white expands to suggest the broader St. Andrew's Cross. The result feels soft under the eye yet striking in its precision, each intersection and overlap demonstrating expert floral craftsmanship. Set against a clean, white studio background, the arrangement appears luminous and dignified, the colours bright but not harsh. This style of floral Union Jack is often chosen as a centrepiece tribute for funerals or remembrance services around Thamesmead, perhaps for families with a strong sense of British heritage or connections to the armed forces. It is easy to imagine it resting on a coffin or displayed at the front of a chapel, bringing a sense of unity and shared remembrance to mourners gathering from estates near Abbey Wood, Crossway Park, or the Thamesmead waterfront.
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
This image shows an elegant, cushion-shaped funeral flower arrangement that looks almost like a soft floral mattress of comfort and remembrance. The pillow forms a neat rectangle with rounded corners, densely packed so that no gaps of greenery or foam are visible, just a continuous surface of blooms. Dominating the tribute are large roses in rich fuchsia, soft pastel pink, and creamy pale yellow, many fully opened to display intricate whorls of velvety petals. Threaded through the roses are deep royal purple lisianthus, their gently ruffled petals adding movement and depth, much like ripples on Southmere Lake in Thamesmead on a still day. Nestled among these focal flowers are small blush spray roses and generous clusters of tiny lavender-toned filler, likely statice or limonium, which create a misty veil of color that softens the transitions between each larger bloom. A base of rounded, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves and darker, finely textured fern-like greenery supports the flowers, introducing layers of green that make the pinks and purples stand out even more vividly. The arrangement rests against a bright white background, casting a soft shadow that gives the sense of a solid yet gentle cushion placed carefully in preparation for a funeral service or graveside farewell. The light is even and flattering, making the colors look true to life and emphasizing the fresh, just-arranged quality of the tribute. This floral pillow feels deeply comforting and respectful, a fitting expression of sympathy crafted by experienced florists for families in the Thamesmead area when they want flowers to speak on their behalf.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION
£95.00
Shown here is a carefully composed funeral tribute spelling "DAD" in large, upright letters, ideal for a service in one of Thamesmead's churches or crematorium chapels. The three letters sit side by side, each one completely blanketed with neat rows of white chrysanthemums, or similar small button flowers. The densely packed petals create a soft, cushion-like texture, while the uniform white tone evokes purity and quiet remembrance. Around the perimeter of every letter, a pleated emerald-green satin ribbon runs in a continuous ruffle, framing the word clearly and adding a calm, natural contrast reminiscent of the greenery along the Thamesmead canals and lakes. Behind the flowers, subtle dark bars of the supporting frame can be glimpsed, evidence of the sturdy construction that allows the tribute to stand confidently at the front of the service.   

Thoughtful floral embellishments bring movement and personality to the design. On the upper left edge of the first "D," a small spray of white freesias rests on the chrysanthemum surface, accompanied by fresh, glossy foliage. Their delicate, trumpet-shaped blooms and slender buds introduce a lighter texture and a gentle, sweet fragrance. From this cluster, two slender green stems arc gracefully across toward the central "A," guiding the viewer's gaze to a more dramatic focal point. Here, near the base of the "A," two deep purple calla lilies emerge from a bed of white flowers and green leaves, their velvety, trumpet-like forms adding depth and a sense of solemn elegance. The final "D" on the right is adorned with a smaller, mirrored cluster of white freesias and foliage at its upper right corner, tying the whole tribute together. Against the plain white backdrop, the arrangement feels both intimate and dignified, a touching way for a Thamesmead family to honour and remember a beloved dad with flowers crafted by experienced local hands.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
A carefully composed memorial wreath photographed against a pure white studio background, the circular frame crafted from a compact, pillowy mass of immaculate white chrysanthemums. Each chrysanthemum bloom is closely set so their many ruffled petals form a continuous, tactile ring that suggests serenity and reverent stillness. Nestled on the upper-left quadrant is an elegant spray of purple Eustoma (lisianthus) in varying stages of bloom - deep violet flowers with layered petals, softer lavender buds and a few delicate yellow centres peeking through - creating a soft gradient of purple that contrasts with the cool white base. Lush green foliage, including broad variegated leaves and fine, fern-like fronds, weaves through the cluster to introduce texture and natural vitality. A subtle finishing detail is visible: a frilly, dark purple mesh ribbon trims both the inner and outer edges of the wreath, its crinkled surface offering a refined accent that harmonises with the lisianthus tones. The arrangement casts a gentle shadow on the background, giving it presence and depth. As an experienced local florist in Thamesmead, Thamesmead Florist often recommends this style for funerals across Abbey Wood, Belvedere and nearby Southmere Park - it's a composed, compassionate tribute that reads as both traditional and quietly contemporary, chosen to express condolence with dignity and care.
HONORING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
Presented on a clean white surface, this traditional circular funeral wreath is composed of a closely packed carpet of pristine white chrysanthemums, each floret layered to create a lush, even texture that feels both comforting and solemn. A thin band of deep purple netting or ribbon shows through in places along the inner and outer rims, introducing a subtle twilight tone that deepens the predominantly white palette without diminishing its quiet purity. Pivoting gently from the wreath's upper-left curve is a tender arrangement of three soft yellow roses-creamy, unfurling blooms that offer a gentle note of friendship and solace-surrounded by delicate sprays of white gypsophila whose tiny, cloud-like buds soften the composition. Interlaced among the roses are small clusters of lavender-purple statice (or similar filler), their spiky texture and muted violet hue giving a restrained contrast that evokes early spring fields. Broad glossy leaves and slender, fern-like fronds provide verdant structure and a fresh scent suggestion, framing the focal cluster with natural rhythm. The light is calm and neutral, producing a soft shadow beneath the wreath that adds presence against the white backdrop and highlights the florist's attentive construction. This design, crafted with the care of local hands familiar with Thamesmead and nearby Woolwich, reads as a respectful tribute meant for commemorations, funeral services, or a graveside farewell; it is the kind of arrangement our customers often request when seeking something quietly dignified from Thamesmead Florist (thamesmeadflorist.co.uk).
IN MY PRAYERS WREATH
£75.00
In this image, a beautifully composed heart-shaped floral tribute stands out clearly against a blank white background, its outline crisp and lovingly defined. The heart is fully covered with small-headed white chrysanthemums, each bloom tightly clustered so that together they form a dense, cushioned surface without any visible gaps. The texture is soft and inviting, like a white quilt made of petals, evoking a sense of comfort and serenity. On the upper left side, three luxurious red roses are arranged in a compact spray, their deep crimson petals velvety and full, creating a rich contrast against the pure white base. Around them, lush green foliage spreads outward, from broad glossy leaves to more delicate, feathery fronds that echo the natural lines of a riverside breeze along Southmere Lake. Tiny white filler blooms are tucked between the greens, reinforcing the theme of purity while adding subtle detail. Extending diagonally downward and toward the right, two additional red roses are placed with deliberate care, continuing the line of colour and symbolising an unbroken bond of love. Fine strands of bright green ornamental grass sweep across the chrysanthemums in graceful arcs, linking the roses visually and adding movement to the otherwise still composition. The whole heart is bordered by a rich dark green satin ribbon, neatly folded into soft pleats that create a structured, ruffled edge, providing a polished finish. Created in the classic style often requested from Thamesmead Florist for funerals and memorials, this heart expresses sympathy, devotion, and quiet remembrance for someone deeply missed.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
Against a bright, uncluttered white background, a meticulously arranged bouquet of roses appears almost suspended, its round silhouette and harmonious colour palette bringing to mind the stillness of an early morning walk along the Thamesmead waterfront. Around a dozen deep blue roses, saturated like twilight skies, are artfully interlaced with creamy ivory roses, each flower nestled closely to the next to form a dense, dome-like cluster. Some of the roses are fully opened, their spiral centres clearly defined, while others are just beginning to unfurl, adding an organic variation that feels natural and unforced. Between these larger blooms, wisps of white baby's breath introduce a filigree of tiny blossoms, adding softness and a cloud-like texture that lightens the overall look. Along the edges and partially hidden among the flowers, dark green foliage provides a steady, grounding presence, its smooth, glossy leaves giving definition to the bouquet and echoing the greenery of Thamesmead's parks. The stems extend beneath the rounded floral mass in a neat, bundled column, cut straight and tied securely, suggesting a fresh, hand-tied bouquet ready to be placed in a favourite vase on a table overlooking the lakes or garden squares. The lighting is clear and evenly distributed, enhancing the contrast between the velvety blue petals, the gentle cream tones, and the crisp white of the baby's breath. This arrangement conveys a sense of calm dignity and gentle comfort, making it an ideal sympathy bouquet for deliveries to homes, services, or community spaces in and around Thamesmead, when a quiet, respectful expression of support is needed.
REMEMBRANCE
£80.00
A lavish, hand-tied bouquet is photographed from above against a pure white background, revealing a perfectly rounded dome of lilies, roses, and baby's breath that seems to glow with soft romance. At its core, large white lilies open their trumpet-shaped petals with effortless grace, a whisper of green in their throats and slender stamens adding quiet detail. Intertwined through these are delicate blush pink roses and creamy ivory roses, their velvety petals layered in tight spirals or gently opening cups, suggesting tenderness, affection, and thoughtfully chosen care. Making a dramatic statement, several vivid fuchsia and magenta Oriental lilies, reminiscent of Stargazers, burst through the softer tones with speckled petals and golden anthers, adding depth and energy to the design. Tiny white blossoms of baby's breath scatter between the larger flowers like a soft mist, filling gaps and giving the bouquet a light, airy quality despite its richness. Slender green leaves and stems peek out at intervals, suggesting the crisp freshness and subtle fragrance of a bouquet prepared that morning in Thamesmead, perhaps near the green walkways by Southmere Lake or Abbey Wood. The bright, even lighting emphasises every texture-the satin smoothness of lily petals, the plush feel of roses, the feathery delicacy of gypsophila-making the flowers appear almost touchable. This arrangement feels ideal for romantic gestures across Thamesmead, whether as an anniversary surprise delivered to a home along Harrow Manorway, a wedding bouquet for a local ceremony, or a heartfelt gift to uplift someone's day with a burst of refined beauty and colour.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
Meticulously shaped and deeply personal, this sympathy tribute spells "MUM" in substantial block letters, each formed from a dense mass of fresh white spray chrysanthemums whose tight petals create a soft, pillowy surface. Against a bright white backdrop the arrangement appears almost luminous, evoking purity and calm while remaining restrained and dignified. Three small, artful sprays of roses - pale lavender blooms paired with gentle blush pink buds - are positioned with care: a cluster on the upper left sweep of the first M, a second tucked into the hollow of the U, and a third accenting the upper right arm of the final M. These rose clusters are surrounded by vivid green foliage and elegant fern fronds, their glossy leaves and feathery textures framing the white flowers and adding depth. A dark green supporting frame, possibly ribbon-wrapped or mossed, is visible beneath the flowers and subtly defines the letters' base, ensuring the tribute maintains a crisp silhouette on display. Crafted with the attentive hands of a local florist, this piece is designed to bring comfort and quiet reflection at a funeral service or memorial; Thamesmead Florist can prepare and arrange similar tributes for graveside or chapel delivery across Thamesmead, Southmere and nearby Abbey Wood. The composition balances tactile detail, scent, and symbolism - soft white blooms for peace, pastel roses for affection - resulting in a respectful, enduring memorial.
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
The image presents a classic heart-shaped sympathy tribute, the sort of arrangement you might see delivered from Thamesmead Florist to a funeral service near Abbey Wood or a memorial gathering by the riverside. The heart is completely filled with small white chrysanthemums, their rounded petals tightly packed together to create a plush, velvety surface. Every bloom touches the next, forming a seamless blanket of white that feels both soft and dignified, symbolising purity, peace, and the enduring bond of love. Encircling the heart is a band of emerald green satin ribbon, carefully pleated into gentle ruffles. The ribbon's satin finish catches subtle highlights, creating a graceful contrast with the matte texture of the flowers and crisply defining the heart's outline against the plain white background. At the upper left of the heart, a thoughtfully arranged floral cluster acts as the focal point. Two fully opened white roses, their creamy petals layered in delicate spirals, sit at the centre. They are surrounded by smaller white blooms-likely freesias or similar fragrant flowers-and a sprinkling of buds, which lend an organic, evolving feel. Rich green foliage cradles this cluster: broad, glossy leaves and fine, feathery fronds extend gently over the chrysanthemum surface, adding depth and a sense of quiet movement, like a breeze drifting across the open spaces of Thamesmead's parks. The overall effect is one of serene elegance and emotional warmth. This heart-shaped tribute would be chosen to express deep sympathy and respect at a funeral, wake, or graveside ceremony, offering visual comfort and a heartfelt message of remembrance to grieving family and friends.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
A tender funeral flower arrangement forms the word "GRANDMA" in stately, upright letters, each one completely covered in snowy white chrysanthemums arranged so closely that they create a smooth, padded surface. The blooms are full and rounded, with small, overlapping petals that give a feeling of softness and comfort, like a familiar hug. Around every letter runs a slim band of lilac ribbon, precisely pinned to follow the contours and providing a gentle halo of pastel purple that softens the edges and lends a refined, feminine touch. At three points along the tribute-the opening "G", the central "A", and the final "A"-lie little sprays of accent flowers: cheerful pink gerberas, delicate pink roses at varying stages of bloom, and sprigs of deep green foliage that weave between the petals. These pockets of colour and greenery add life and personality, hinting at a grandmother's bright spirit and the affectionate memories she leaves behind, from school runs through Thamesmead's residential streets to quiet afternoons overlooking the local parks and waterways. The background is neutral and uncluttered, ensuring that the clean white of the chrysanthemums and the lilac outline stand out in clear relief. Soft, even lighting reveals every texture, from the velvety flower heads to the satiny ribbon trim. Created by an experienced Thamesmead florist familiar with crafting tributes for local services and crematoriums, this piece feels intimate and thoughtfully composed, a floral message of love, thankfulness, and enduring family bonds written clearly in blooms.
HONORED GRANDMA TRIBUTE
£330.00
Arranged flat and photographed from above against a white backdrop, this dignified wreath combines creamy white roses and pale yellow lilies into a full, harmonious circle that reads as a gentle embrace. Roughly fifteen fully opened roses, each with tightly furled, ivory-tinged petals, form the primary rhythm of the design; their soft fragrance is mellow and reassuring. The trumpet lilies-some revealed in wide bloom, others kept in elegant bud-introduce a tender lemon wash that complements the roses without overpowering them. Supporting foliage is rich and varied: soft, feathery fern fronds that lend a delicate fringe and darker, rounded leaves akin to eucalyptus that provide contrast and quiet fragrance. The flowers are packed with careful density so the wreath feels luxurious yet restrained, a crafted statement of respect and comfort. In the way a florist from Thamesmead's local shops might compose a tribute for a service near Abbey Wood or a graveside at Plumstead, the palette and textures are chosen to convey serenity and purity. The circular shape carries symbolic weight-eternity, continuity-and the subdued colours quietly reassure those gathered. Available for local delivery across Thamesmead and neighbouring streets, this memorial wreath is intended to offer solace, beauty, and a respectful visual tribute when words fall short.
IN LOVING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
The image shows a carefully designed funeral flower arrangement spelling out "MUM" in large, block-style letters, set against a clean, white backdrop that makes every detail stand out. Each letter is lavishly covered with small, tightly packed magenta and purple chrysanthemums, creating a dense, cushion-like texture that looks both soft and substantial. The little lime-green centres of the flowers are scattered evenly throughout, adding touches of brightness that stop the colour from feeling too heavy and instead give the tribute a gentle energy. Running along the outer edges of the letters is a narrow band of pale pink ruffled ribbon, its gathered folds tracing the contours and bringing a delicate, almost fabric-like softness to the structure. On the first "M", the top-left corner is adorned with a pretty spray of soft pink roses and rosebuds, nestled into feathery fern fronds and fresh green leaves. At the base of the "U", inside its curve, sits a graceful cluster of lighter blush roses, mixed creamy white blossoms, and textured foliage, arranged in a subtle U-shape that echoes the form of the letter itself. The final "M" carries a matching cluster of mid-pink roses and fern on its top-right side, balancing the design as a whole. It is the kind of tribute families in Thamesmead might choose for a funeral or memorial gathering, perhaps after a quiet walk around Southmere Lake, to say farewell to a devoted mum with flowers that feel both dignified and tender.
LOVING MUM TRIBUTE
£160.00
A solemn, hand-finished pillow tribute formed from a dense carpet of immaculate white chrysanthemum blooms rests on a clean white surface, its soft shadows accentuating the slightly puffed, rectangular silhouette. Each chrysanthemum head is positioned to create a continuous, cloud-like plane of white petals that suggests purity and tranquil rest. The perimeter is finished with a pale green, ruffled ribbon trim that frames the composition with a gentle freshness, the satin catching the light in a warm, subtle sheen. Anchoring the design in the top-left corner is a small, carefully arranged spray of flowers: white lisianthus with delicate layered petals, paired with rich purple lisianthus in bud and bloom that lend a quiet nobility and visual contrast. Wisps of ferny foliage and broader dark-green leaves thread through the cluster, lending depth, movement, and the scent of fresh greenery; a folded leafy wrap holds the stems with restraint and dignity. Photographed against a bright white background, the piece reads as both three-dimensional and serene, an emblem of condolence suitable for wakes, memorial services, or graveside placement. Prepared by Thamesmead Florist for families across Thamesmead and neighbouring Woolwich and Abbey Wood, the tribute carries the calm, attentive craft of a local atelier - an arrangement chosen to express sympathy when words fall short, and offered with the quiet intention of comfort during moments of remembrance.
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
An elegant memorial wreath arranged with the kind of attention to detail you'd expect from a Thamesmead florist: a full, circular base of pristine white chrysanthemums forms a soft, cushiony ring that symbolizes peace and purity. Through the whites a delicate layer of vibrant purple netting is intentionally visible along the inner circumference, offering a refined contrast that gives the composition depth and a gentle, reassuring colour note. At the wreath's upper-left quadrant a compact bouquet of foliage and blooms creates a focal point - a single, perfectly formed cream or pale yellow rose unfurls at the centre, its smooth petals catching soft light. Surrounding the rose, variegated leaves with lighter edges and delicate, feathery fern fronds add texture and natural movement, while tiny lavender-purple statice sprigs are interwoven for a measured touch of serenity.

Counterbalancing this, two calla lilies sweep across the right-hand side from about two o'clock to five o'clock, their elegant curves introducing sculptural lines and a gentle sense of flow. The callas display a luminous gradient from rich purple at their tips to a subtle peach-pink or blush toward their bases; their bright green stems are woven into the chrysanthemum mass, guiding the eye around the wreath. A single longer green stem reaches from the left cluster across the lower section and anchors near the base of the callas, tying both sides together.

Presented against a clean white backdrop so each element reads clearly, this sympathy wreath - available from Thamesmead Florist for local memorial deliveries to venues such as Southmere Lake and the nearby chapel - communicates respect, solace and lasting remembrance.
PEACEFUL WREATH
£75.00
Framed in crisp studio light on a white backdrop, this three-letter memorial spells out "BRO" with a dense blanket of royal blue chrysanthemum blooms, each tiny floret contributing to a plush, uniform surface. The white support base forms a subtle outline beneath the petals, defining the inner loops of the 'B' and 'R' and the circular centre of the 'O'. Each letter is softened at its base by a small spray of pale cream or soft yellow spray roses - some tight, some gently unfurling - mixed with delicate white filler blooms and layered greenery. The foliage blends glossy, broader leaves reminiscent of lemon leaf or salal with lighter, fern-like fronds that catch the light and introduce a gentle, textural contrast. The arrangement's scent is understated: cool chrysanthemum earthiness balanced by a whisper of rose sweetness and green freshness. The saturated royal blue reads as a symbol of sincerity and calm, while the ivory accents signal purity and consolation, making this tribute especially appropriate for a funeral or memorial service. As a local florist experienced in Thamesmead and surrounding areas, this type of personalised lettering is chosen to communicate a clear, heartfelt message at services near Abbey Wood station, community halls, or graveside dedications. The overall presentation is clean, respectful, and crafted to be easily read from a small distance, offering families a dignified, tactile expression of remembrance and love.
PERSONALISED BRO TRIBUTE
£165.00
In this photograph, a Celtic cross funeral arrangement is displayed in full view against a pure white studio backdrop, so the composition feels calm, airy, and uncluttered. The cross shape is defined by a dense covering of white chrysanthemums with small, tidy petals that create a smooth, plush surface across the arms and central stem. Encircling the intersection and shaping the traditional Celtic ring, vivid lime green button chrysanthemums are carefully inserted in tight clusters, their domed, bead-like heads forming bold outlines and swirling sections of colour. Together, the white and green create a clear Celtic pattern that would resonate with families in Thamesmead seeking to reflect faith, heritage, or a love of natural, meaningful designs. Towards the lower half of the vertical arm, three distinct groups of deep purple carnations are gathered, their rich colour standing out like notes of solemn music against the lighter tones. The carnation petals are deeply ruffled and layered, giving them a velvety, almost cloud-like texture, and they are framed by wisps of dark green foliage and slender, twisting vines that meander over the white blooms. The lighting is bright but gentle, revealing the freshness of each flower head and the subtle shadows that give the cross a lightly raised, three-dimensional appearance. This floral tribute feels both strong and tender, an appropriate choice for a funeral or memorial gathering in and around Thamesmead, whether placed beside the coffin, near the altar, or at the front of a hall during a celebration of life.
WHITE CELTIC CROSS TRIBUTE
£170.00
In this detailed image, a floral cross is presented slightly on the diagonal, with the top left portion raised so the shape appears dynamic rather than flat. The cross sits on a pristine white background, allowing the carefully chosen flower colours to glow. Its outline is built from a dense band of white spray chrysanthemums, each small bloom pressed closely to its neighbour to form a soft yet clearly defined border. Just behind this snow-white edge, a slim ribbon of pale green, either folded satin or structured foliage, encircles the cross, providing a neat, fresh frame that gently lifts the arrangement away from the background. Within this graceful structure, the interior of the cross is filled with a thoughtful mix of roses and complementary flowers. Bright fuchsia pink roses and creamy pale yellow roses are positioned across the vertical stem and arms, their velvety, fully open petals creating rounded islands of colour and softness. Interspersed between these larger blooms are tufted clusters of lime-green button chrysanthemums, their compact, spherical shapes giving a contemporary twist and adding lively contrast. Woven among them are smaller purple and violet blossoms, probably lisianthus or statice, which slip into the spaces to add depth, richness, and subtle tonal variation. The lighting is bright and even, similar to the clear daylight over Thamesmead's lakes, so that no detail is lost: individual petals, the fine texture of the chrysanthemums, the sheen of the ribbon border. This cross feels like a tender, faith-filled sympathy tribute, the kind a local family might choose for a funeral at a nearby Thamesmead church or crematorium, combining respect and remembrance with a gentle sense of hope.
PRECIOUS MEMORY CROSS
£95.00
This rectangular floral pillow is composed entirely of countless small, pristine white chrysanthemums, arranged so closely that the surface seems plush and inviting, like an embroidered cushion of flowers meant to soothe and quiet the heart. Anchoring the top-left corner is a vivid spray of deep magenta or fuchsia roses whose rich colour and unfurling petals create an intimate focal point; tucked among them are clusters of pure white freesias or petite white buds whose gentle scent adds a soft sweetness to the composition. Slender fern fronds and glossy greenery weave through the cluster, introducing cool tones and a natural, leafy texture that balances the intensity of the roses. Around the edge, a pleated light-green satin ribbon has been applied with neat precision, the ribbon's sheen and delicate loops lending a ceremonial finish and a hint of garden-fresh colour beneath the white chrysanthemum field. Photographed against a neutral white background with a soft shadow underneath, the tribute's depth and craftsmanship are clear - every bloom placed to convey peace, comfort and dignity. This classic sympathy pillow is formed for use at funerals, memorials and graveside services, and in Thamesmead we often craft pieces like this for families gathering near Southmere Lake, Gallions Reach or the local parish halls. Carefully prepared to preserve freshness and scent, it is a quietly powerful way to honour a loved one and offer solace when words fall short.
DEEPLY CHERISHED CUSHION
£135.00
A graceful sympathy spray of white lilies and lisianthus stretches diagonally across a bright white background, shaped in a classic teardrop that feels both peaceful and contemporary. The top left of the arrangement is full and lush, where the stems are bound together, then the flowers and foliage gently taper down toward a narrow point at the lower right, suggesting a quiet, forward motion like a slow walk along the Thamesmead waterfront. Dominating the design are white oriental lilies; some are open, their broad petals smooth and slightly waxy, cupping pale yellow-green stamens, while others remain in refined bud form, poised to bloom. Nestled among the lilies are groups of lisianthus (Eustoma) blossoms, their white petals softly ruffled and kissed at the edges with tones of lavender and muted violet. Tiny, closed lisianthus buds stand upright along the stems, adding height and subtle rhythm. The flowers are set against a generous bed of greens: broad, dark leaves form a polished underlay, while slender, elongated palm-like fronds extend outward, especially towards the right side, enhancing the elongated, asymmetrical shape. Some foliage has been neatly curled and rolled, forming stylish loops that give the piece a modern touch often favoured in Thamesmead Florist designs for local chapels and crematoria. The colour palette of pure white, gentle lavender, and deep green suggests purity, comfort, and enduring love. This dignified floral tribute would rest beautifully on a casket, memorial table, or graveside, bringing a note of calm and beauty to farewell services held across Thamesmead, Abbey Wood, and neighbouring SE London communities.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
Displayed on a pristine white background, this sympathy spray stretches diagonally from the top left towards the lower right, forming an elegant, elongated teardrop that seems to flow like a gentle stream of flowers. At the heart of the arrangement, dramatic Stargazer lilies unfold, their petals richly coloured in fuchsia-pink with clean white edges and fine burgundy speckles that add depth and character. Some blooms are fully open, while others remain in bud, green and delicately tinged with pink, capturing the sense of memories gradually opening over time. Surrounding the lilies are bold magenta gerbera daisies, their simple daisy shape full of warmth and affection, alongside creamy white roses and soft, frilled carnations, whose velvety petals introduce calm and purity. Between these larger flowers, tiny clusters of white filler blossoms glimmer softly, uniting the design with a light, airy texture. The arrangement is framed by an abundance of lush greenery: broad, dark green leaves provide structure, feathery fern fronds create gentle movement, and slender, grass-like blades of foliage trail outwards and downwards, reinforcing the graceful, cascading outline. The stems are tightly bound at the upper left, a quiet testament to the skill and care of Thamesmead Florist's team, used to preparing meaningful tributes for local services. The overall effect is one of quiet strength and gentle comfort, ideal for funerals, cremations, or memorial gatherings across Thamesmead, from Abbey Wood to the walkways around the lakes. This spray offers a tender, floral way to say farewell, expressing sympathy, love, and lasting respect when words alone are not enough.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
This photograph captures a full, open-centred funeral wreath resting against a clean white background, its circular form made up entirely of fresh blossoms in white, light pink, and rich magenta. The structure is built around large, open white lilies whose satin-smooth petals spread outward like calm stars, showcasing golden stamens that add subtle warmth to the design. These serene blooms are interlaced with expressive deep pink and fuchsia lilies, their more intense colour and lightly speckled petals creating pockets of drama and heartfelt sentiment, reminiscent of the vibrant sunsets often seen over Southmere Lake in Thamesmead. Between the lilies, soft pink roses and creamy white roses have been carefully tucked in, some in tight bud symbolising unspoken thoughts, others fully open, revealing layered, velvety whorls that speak of enduring love. Among them, white gerbera daisies with distinct dark centres stand out with their bold, round faces, adding contrast in both shape and tone. Smaller white filler flowers-likely petite carnations or spray chrysanthemums-are threaded through every gap, giving a soft, cloud-like fullness and ensuring the circle feels continuous and unbroken. A generous border of lush greenery, with polished leaves and small shoots of new growth, supports the arrangement and subtly emphasises the circular outline, a traditional symbol of eternity. The lighting is gentle and balanced, highlighting each bloom without harsh shadows. The overall effect is dignified, soothing, and deeply compassionate, an arrangement that Thamesmead Florist might lovingly prepare for a funeral, wake, or celebration of life in the local churches, community centres, or waterside homes.
LOVING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
A poignant floral memorial in this photograph spells out "SON" in striking capital letters, presented on a clean white background so the form and colour stand out vividly. Each letter is shaped from a dense bed of pure white chrysanthemums, the blossoms packed closely together to create a velvety, cushion-like texture that speaks of peace, innocence, and quiet remembrance. Just beneath the blooms, a red satin ribbon runs along the perimeter of each letter, folded into a soft, scalloped border that hugs every curve and corner, including the hollow centre of the "O." This vivid red edging not only defines the lettering but also adds a sense of devoted craftsmanship, like the bespoke tributes Thamesmead Florist prepares for local services along the Thames. Three separate clusters of red anthuriums add depth and symbolism. On the upper left of the "S," a prominent group of heart-shaped anthuriums emerges from a base of deep green foliage, the glossy leaves and blooms catching the light. At the lower edge of the "O," a smaller yet carefully balanced group of anthuriums rests in the curve, offering a gentle point of focus. The right side of the "N" is adorned with the most substantial cluster: several anthuriums combined with airy fern fronds and broad leaves, which fan out gracefully. Fine, arching strands of greenery sweep across the white chrysanthemums, linking the red accents into a cohesive line. The entire tribute carries a sense of stillness and care, an intimate expression of love, grief, and gratitude for a son, suitable for delivery to funeral homes, churches, or family gatherings throughout Thamesmead.
FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS SON TRIBUTE
£155.00
The image shows a beautifully balanced funeral wreath, perfectly circular and overflowing with white and purple blooms arranged with great care. A generous layer of Baby's Breath provides the main structure, its countless tiny white flowers clustering together into a fine, cloud-like texture that softens the entire outline. Nestled within this misty bed of petals are elegant Lisianthus flowers, their petals mostly white but delicately edged with lilac, lavender, and violet, as if touched by a painter's brush. Some Lisianthus blossoms are fully open, revealing intricate ruffles and gentle curves; others are still budding, their slender forms tinged with pale green and buttery cream, suggesting that more flowers are yet to unfold. The interplay between the airy filler and the bolder, purple-edged blooms creates a harmonious rhythm that moves the eye around the wreath's unbroken circle. There is a strong sense of calm and purity, making the piece particularly suited to sympathetic occasions, such as funerals, memorials, or quiet moments of remembrance at home in Thamesmead. The wreath is photographed against a bright white background, with no visible easel or ribbon, keeping the attention on the simplicity of the flowers and the emotional meaning they carry. One can easily imagine this design resting beside a photo frame at a service near Crossway Park or delivered by Thamesmead Florist to a family in SE2 or SE28, its gentle white and purple palette offering a thoughtful, understated gesture of support. The overall feel is soft yet thoughtful, a floral circle that invites reflection and honours cherished memories.
WARM EMBRACE WREATH
£70.00
This image presents a beautifully composed heart-shaped arrangement of roses and baby's breath, viewed from above against a spotless white background that removes any distraction from the flowers themselves. The heart is distinctly split down the middle into two equal sections, creating a visual dialogue between soft cream and gentle pink. On the left side, numerous creamy white and light lemon-tinged roses are clustered so closely that there is barely any gap between them, forming a plush carpet of petals. Their tones feel calm and peaceful, evoking purity, reflection, and quiet remembrance. On the right side, a matching profusion of medium pink roses fills the space with a more romantic hue, the petals slightly more open and curving outward in graceful spirals that hint at tenderness and affection. Interlaced throughout both halves, and forming a delicate outline around the heart, are abundant sprays of fine white gypsophila, or baby's breath. These tiny flowers add movement and softness, creating a cloud-like halo that frames the roses without overwhelming them. The overall effect is one of balance and harmony, like a carefully arranged tribute created by an experienced Thamesmead florist familiar with the needs of local families saying goodbye to someone dear. The white background and even lighting make the arrangement suitable for use in funeral service brochures, online tributes, or memorial announcements for services held around Thamesmead, Abbey Wood, or along the Thames Path. This heart speaks of enduring love, offering a gentle companion to words of farewell, and would be fitting placed by a casket, displayed near a photograph, or laid at a graveside.
INFINITY ROSE HEART
£105.00
The image shows a beautifully balanced circular wreath, photographed head-on against a crisp white background so that every flower and leaf is clearly defined. The wreath is dominated by impressive white Oriental lilies, many at full bloom with their broad, arching petals forming star-like shapes that overlap slightly, creating a lush, continuous surface. Their centres reveal a soft wash of green leading to long stamens tipped with warm brown anthers, a small but striking detail amid the white. Between these lilies, clusters of lisianthus flowers offer a gentler, more intricate texture; their petals are finely frilled and mostly white, but brushed and banded at the edges with lilac and delicate purple, giving the whole wreath a subtle halo of colour when seen from a distance. You can see a few closed lily buds, slender and upright, as well as small, rounded rosebuds in creamy white, suggesting new blooms still to come and adding a sense of ongoing remembrance. Greenery is used sparingly yet thoughtfully: slim dark green leaves and feathery foliage reminiscent of eucalyptus thread through the ring, providing depth and a natural rhythm without overpowering the flowers. The overall mood is calm, reverent, and reflective-exactly the kind of tribute you might send to a funeral home in Thamesmead or to a memorial service near the Thamesmead canals and parklands. This white and purple lily wreath feels both classic and personal, as though arranged by a local Thamesmead florist who understands how to express love, sympathy, and farewell in a way that is understated yet profoundly sincere.
ETERNAL AFFECTION WREATH
£80.00
The image captures a moving floral tribute spelling out "DAD," arranged with care and precision against a bright white background. Three bold letters - D, A, and D - sit side by side on discreet, dark green bars that gently support them while letting the eye focus entirely on the blooms. A thick border of lush green ferns surrounds each letter, the fronds layered and slightly ruffled, giving the tribute a soft, natural frame that recalls the greenery around Southmere Lake and the tree-lined walks in Thamesmead. This foliage creates a strong contrast, making the flowers within the letters appear even lighter and more luminous.   

Inside each letter, the design is tightly packed with fresh blooms, positioned front-facing to ensure the word "DAD" reads clearly from a distance at a funeral or memorial service. The main flowers are large white chrysanthemums and white gerbera daisies, their smooth, overlapping petals forming a calm, almost cloud-like background. Threads of sunlight-bright yellow gerberas and small yellow spray roses weave through the whites, bringing hints of warmth, gratitude, and cherished memories. Deeper colour notes come from elegant purple lisianthus and clusters of magenta or deep pink spray roses, which introduce a sense of depth, affection, and quiet strength. Small lavender blossoms and vivid green button chrysanthemums add further interest, filling any tiny gaps so that no part of the tribute feels sparse. The arrangement looks meticulously crafted and freshly completed, stems and foliage still crisp, as if just prepared by experienced local florists in Thamesmead. This floral "DAD" tribute conveys enduring love and respect for a father, offering a gentle, visually expressive way for families to say goodbye and celebrate a life that mattered deeply.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
This long, elegant sympathy spray is set on a pure white background, its graceful form appearing to drift diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, as if gently laid down in remembrance. Large white lilies are the undoubted focal point, their wide, open blooms revealing soft yellow-green stamens, while several elongated buds remain closed, hinting at unfolding beauty still to come. Surrounding the lilies are clusters of creamy white roses, some tightly furled, others partly open, alongside soft white carnations whose ruffled edges add depth, and clean white Gerbera-style daisies with understated pale centers. Fine sprays of tiny white filler flowers float among the larger heads, lending an almost mist-like softness. All of this is supported by a lush collar of greenery in many shapes and tones: glossy dark leaves provide structure, feathery fern fronds add lightness, and rounded eucalyptus leaves contribute a cool, muted green-blue note, their matte finish contrasting gently with shinier foliage. Near the upper section, long, narrow leaves have been folded and bound to create a subtle vertical feature, drawing the eye upward. From the lower right, a fan of slender, vibrant palm fronds sweeps out, extending the line of the spray and giving it a distinctly contemporary silhouette. Designed to be appreciated from the front, this arrangement is perfectly suited as a funeral tribute for services in Thamesmead's churches, cremation chapels, or community venues near the lakes and canals. Its tranquil whites and soothing greens offer comfort and reflection, a floral expression of condolence that feels deeply in tune with the calm, waterside character of the area.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
Infused with the tranquil, riverside spirit of Thamesmead, this heart-shaped bouquet is a thoughtful combination of approximately thirty vivid pink and creamy white roses, each bloom varying from tightly curled bud to fully opened blossom. The roses' velvety petals blend seamlessly with the frothy accents of baby's breath, which cascade in gentle clusters throughout, softening the lines and lending the arrangement an almost angelic air. The pastel hues-cool pinks and delicate creams-stand out luminously on a sparkling white background, reminiscent of dawn light glinting off Thamesmead's lakes and waterways. Every petal and tendril has been placed with care by local florists familiar with the community's traditions of kindness and remembrance. The bold heart shape radiates a message of enduring love and deep sympathy, ideal for commemorative occasions or simply to express gratitude for treasured relationships. The overall effect is graceful, comforting, and unmistakably Thamesmead-carrying warmth and hope through every rose and cloud of baby's breath.
DEAREST ONE HEART
£130.00
This rectangular pillow-style sympathy floral, arranged with the care of a local Thamesmead florist, rests against a stark white background so every detail shows. The core of the design is a dense field of pristine white chrysanthemums, each tiny bloom closely placed to create a uniform, cushion-like surface that feels almost tactile in its softness. A pleated band of pale lime green satin trims the edge, lending a subtle, refined contrast that reads like a gentle ribboned hem. On the upper left a composed cluster draws the eye: two elegant white Oriental lilies fully open to reveal pale yellow stamens and a delicate fragrance, a complementary lily bud, and textured sprays of deep burgundy carnations that introduce warmth and depth. Lush green foliage-feathery fern fronds alongside broader salal leaves-forms a verdant backdrop, giving the cluster structure and natural contrast. From this cluster, a slim arch of bright green bear grass or similar foliage curves gracefully across the chrysanthemum surface and finishes on the upper right with a single deep red rosebud, its velvety tip barely unfurled, symbolising enduring affection and respect. The design balances tradition with understated grace, offering calm and solemn beauty appropriate for funeral services in Thamesmead, from the riverside walk near Gallions Reach to small chapel gatherings by Southmere Lake. As with all our sympathy work, the blooms are selected for freshness and gentle scent, and the arrangement conveys a quiet message of remembrance and heartfelt condolence.
EXPRESSION OF LOVE CUSHION
£135.00
An elegant sympathy tribute formed into the word "DAD," each letter sculpted from a dense blanket of immaculate white chrysanthemums whose tiny blooms together create a soft, rounded, three-dimensional letterform. The outer and inner edges of every letter are neatly rimmed with a rich, dark green ruffled satin ribbon or foliage braid that gives crisp definition against the white, while slim dark-green metal bars running discreetly behind the letters hold the set together as a single, supported display. On the upper left curve of the first 'D' a bright cluster of three to four yellow roses blooms like a small sun, complemented by fine white freesia or gypsophila sprigs and fresh green leaves; two long, slender bare stems extend across toward the middle, introducing a gentle diagonal line. The central 'A' is given a quieter, sophisticated accent low on its left leg: two deep purple or burgundy calla lilies with elegant, trumpet-like forms nestle among small white fillers and verdant foliage, providing a devotional centrepiece. The final 'D' repeats the sunny rose cluster on its upper right curve, completing the balanced composition. Photographed against a plain white backdrop with soft daylight that reveals texture and shadow, the arrangement offers subtle scent notes of white chrysanthemums and warm rose. Crafted with care for memorial services and wakes, this tribute is the sort of personalised piece we prepare for local families across Thamesmead, Abbey Wood and Woolwich; Thamesmead Florist can arrange careful delivery and placement at the service with sensitivity and attention to detail.
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
A lovingly crafted funeral tribute spells "DAD" in large, three-dimensional capital letters, composed of hundreds of small, immaculate white chrysanthemums that create a plush, continuous surface. The letters are precisely outlined with rich emerald-green ruffled ribbon, which both sharpens the form and introduces a cool, reassuring tone against the pure white blooms. Each letter is highlighted with a thoughtfully arranged cluster of accent flowers: deep magenta or fuchsia roses in varying stages of bloom, paired with petite white freesia-like sprays and dark glossy foliage to add warmth and depth. You can see the first D embellished at its upper left curve, the A cradling its cluster in the V of the letter, and the final D mirrored on the upper right - a balanced composition that reads clearly from the front and feels intimate up close. A subtle dark green or grey bar runs horizontally behind the letters, hinting at the sturdy support that allows this tribute to stand at a chapel, funeral service, or graveside. Under soft, neutral lighting the texture of the chrysanthemums reads almost cottony while the roses offer a soft perfume that is comforting rather than sweet. Prepared with the care we offer to local families, this arrangement is a familiar choice for those in Thamesmead, near Southmere Lake or Abbey Wood, who wish to honour a father with dignity. Thamesmead Florist (thamesmeadflorist.co.uk) can arrange thoughtful local delivery and placement, ensuring the tribute arrives ready to say goodbye with quiet love and respect.
GRACIOUS DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
A moving memorial piece spelling MUM in bold, connected letters, lovingly constructed from a sea of pure white chrysanthemums and presented on a stark white background. Each letter's body is densely packed with small, pillowy chrysanthemum blooms that create a soft, consistent surface while the outer contours are gently edged in a ruffled pale-pink ribbon or fabric, lending the tribute a warm, maternal softness. Visible between the characters is a discreet dark-green support frame that keeps the standing composition upright and balanced. Three vivid accent bouquets punctuate the white: a compact cluster of rich fuchsia roses, glossy fern foliage and coral hypericum berries dresses the upper left of the first M; the curve of the U is grounded by the same combination; and the upper right of the last M mirrors the detail, producing a symmetrical and reassuring rhythm. The contrast of cool white and bright pink reads as love and remembrance - the mums for purity and the roses for affectionate warmth - while the berries and greenery add texture and depth. In the calm morning light the mums' subtle green-scented perfume and the velvety rose petals create a quiet sensory comfort. As a Thamesmead Florist familiar with Southmere and the surrounding estates, I'd describe this as a personal, handcrafted tribute often chosen by families seeking a dignified farewell close to home, equally appropriate for chapel, wake or graveside in the local area.
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
A carefully composed funeral tribute spelling out 'DAD' in bold block letters, each letter completely covered in tight clusters of pristine white chrysanthemums to form a soft, uniform carpet of blooms. The perimeter of every letter is outlined in a vivid emerald green pleated ribbon, its textured edge lending clarity and a dignified frame to the white surface. Three matching floral clusters punctuate the design: the first sits on the upper curve of the left 'D', a striking spray of deep red roses paired with small white freesia and lush greenery; the second nestles close to the lower left diagonal of the 'A', where a shy loop of green foliage lifts the eye; the third mirrors the first on the upper curve of the right 'D', creating a harmonious triptych of colour. Subtle dark metal support bars can be seen behind the letters, providing stability while remaining unobtrusive. Under soft studio light the contrast between the cool white chrysanthemums and the warm, velvety red rose petals is especially arresting, and the faint perfume of roses and freesia gives the piece a gentle, consoling presence. This bespoke sympathy arrangement is designed for memorial services and graveside gatherings across Thamesmead and neighbouring districts such as Plumstead and Belvedere, and Thamesmead Florist can arrange careful local delivery to chapels and cemeteries by the lake at Southmere or near Abbey Wood station. The visual language is simple and sincere: white for purity and devoted love, red for respect and lasting affection, crafted with the calm precision of an experienced local florist.
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
In this studio-style image, a pale woven basket with a softly arched handle is set against a pure white background, overflowing with a carefully balanced funeral flower arrangement that would feel at home in a quiet Thamesmead chapel or family living room. The basket cradles a central creamy white rose, its layered petals opening in a gentle spiral, representing purity and a peaceful goodbye. On either side, deep purple calla lilies rise in graceful curves, their sleek, trumpet-shaped spathes adding a refined, almost sculptural touch. Threaded throughout the design are delicate clematis-like blooms in light lavender and pale lilac, their star-shaped petals tipped with subtle yellow centres, creating an airy contrast to the richer hues. Small clusters of sunny yellow and soft white flowers, reminiscent of freesia or alstroemeria, are tucked among the blooms, bringing moments of brightness and encouragement, like glimpses of sunlight over the Thamesmead canals. Towards the right, a single magenta gerbera daisy with neatly radiating petals offers a vivid accent, capturing the emotion of treasured memories. The entire arrangement is generously cushioned by lush green foliage, including broad, rounded glossy leaves and finer, lighter sprigs, which provide volume, structure, and a sense of natural abundance. A gentle shadow grounds the basket on the surface, giving depth and realism. Overall, the image portrays a calm, respectful tribute, ideal for expressing sympathy, honouring a life, or offering comfort to families in Thamesmead and the surrounding SE28 area.
