SPRAYS/SHEAVES
An elongated sympathy spray is captured against a plain white backdrop, its elegant diagonal line flowing from a generous cluster of flowers at the upper left to a slender, tapering tip at the lower right. This style of arrangement, often chosen by families in Hornsey for funerals and memorials, balances deep, comforting tones with bright, uplifting accents. At the centre, rich red roses with velvety petals, some open, some still in bud, are nestled alongside vivid red gerbera daisies and softly ruffled carnations, creating a dense heart of crimson that suggests enduring love and profound respect. Among these blossoms, lime green chrysanthemum pompons are woven in, their small round heads and neon-tinged hue adding a contemporary splash of colour and an intriguing, bobbing texture. Scattered throughout the spray, tiny white filler flowers, like clouds of gypsophila or miniature daisies, bring a gentle airiness, lightening the overall composition. The floral elements are supported by abundant foliage: broad, glossy leaves provide a dark green canvas, while airy leatherleaf ferns and other textured greens soften the outline, extending outward like gentle fronds. At the lower right, several long, strap-like leaves are artfully fanned to emphasize the graceful curvature, guiding the eye along the shape of the tribute. At the upper left, a neat bundle of upright stems or leaves stands tall, with one wider leaf wrapped tidily around the base, adding a sculpted, modern detail. The finished spray feels both structured and fluid, perfectly suited to sit atop a casket or on a stand in a Hornsey church, offering a floral expression of condolence that is both dignified and quietly uplifting.

A refined funeral spray in a classic teardrop shape rests on a pure white background, positioned diagonally so the eye travels from a lush gathering of blooms at the upper left to a delicate, pointed finish at the lower right. Dominating the composition are elegant white oriental lilies, some fully unfurled with smooth, trumpet-shaped petals and softly coloured stamens, others remaining as elongated buds that hint at quiet continuity and unspoken memories. Threaded through the lilies are airy sprays of lisianthus, their white, bell-like flowers edged with whisper-thin lavender and lilac tints, while numerous buds create a gentle rhythm of shapes and sizes. The flowers are supported by an abundance of foliage: broad, glossy dark green leaves form a solid base, and select leaves are carefully folded and rolled into neat, architectural accents near the centre of the piece. Long, narrow palm fronds and similarly slender greens arc and fan out to the right, accentuating the arrangement's sweeping, elongated line and adding a sense of lightness. The lighting is crisp and neutral, allowing every petal, stem, and curve to be clearly appreciated without distraction. The overall mood is one of stillness and grace, with the cool white and soft lavender flowers set against deep, reassuring greens. This is the type of arrangement a local Hornsey florist might design for a farewell at a nearby chapel on High Street or for a memorial gathering overlooking Alexandra Palace, offering a composed and tender way to say goodbye and share sympathy.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
A beautifully composed red casket spray lies visually across a white background, revealing its elegant, elongated teardrop form from top left to bottom right. The design is dense but not overcrowded, with each element thoughtfully placed to create a sense of gentle flow and calm. At the wider, upper section, large red roses are gathered closely together, their velvety petals fully open, forming deep, spiralled centres that draw the eye inward. These roses carry the quiet weight of devotion and lasting affection. Interspersed among them are plentiful red spray carnations, smaller but abundant, each tiny head layered with delicate, fringed petals that ripple across the surface of the spray like soft waves of colour. The combination of darker, velvety reds and slightly brighter, more vivid crimson tones adds a subtle variation that keeps the arrangement visually engaging while remaining understated and respectful. Anchoring the flowers is a generous bed of foliage, much like the structured greenery used by experienced florists in Hornsey who understand the importance of proportion in funeral designs. Dark, glossy leaves form the outline of the piece and give it a strong, supportive base, while silvery-green eucalyptus leaves weave gently through the blooms, offering cooler notes and an air of tranquillity. At the narrowing lower end, strands of lighter green, trailing foliage spill down and outwards, softening the edges and giving the arrangement an almost river-like flow. The whole piece is lit evenly, with no harsh contrasts, creating a calm, contemplative mood. This classic funeral spray would be a fitting tribute on a coffin or display stand in a Hornsey church, crematorium, or funeral home, providing a heartfelt symbol of remembrance and respect.

£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
This image captures a refined sympathy spray laid out on a clean white background, allowing its colours and shapes to stand out with clarity. The design stretches from the bound stems at the upper left down to a soft cascade of foliage in the lower right, forming an elegant diagonal that feels like a gentle bow of the head. At the centre, star-shaped Stargazer lilies command attention, their petals a rich fuchsia-pink edged in white and dappled with dark burgundy speckles, with a few buds still closed, their tips blushing pink against fresh green. Surrounding them, bright magenta gerbera daisies introduce a vibrant yet tender accent, symbolising fond memories and affection. Interspersed throughout are creamy white roses, some in tight bud and others partially open, and softly ruffled white carnations, together creating a calming, cushion-like backdrop that tempers the vivid pinks. Delicate sprays of tiny white filler flowers, resembling miniature daisies, add a filigree of lightness and detail. The flowers rest on a bed of abundant greenery: broad, glossy dark green leaves give structure and depth, while airy fern fronds and long, slim blades of foliage sweep outward and downward, highlighting the elongated shape and adding movement. The overall mood is tranquil and respectful, suited to funerals, memorial services, or condolence deliveries around Hornsey, whether to homes near Crouch End, churches off Church Lane, or services close to Alexandra Palace. The composition feels like the work of an experienced florist who understands how to weave colour, texture, and line into a floral tribute that gently expresses sympathy and enduring love.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Photographed against a smooth white backdrop, this elongated teardrop funeral arrangement conveys a quiet, composed elegance. At its heart are numerous pink roses, their shades ranging from barely blushed petals to richer rose tones, each bloom unfolding in a spiral that suggests gentleness and warmth. Between these roses, clusters of pristine white carnations fill the spaces, their intricate, ruffled textures bringing a soft, billowing fullness that lightens the design. The flowers are cradled by an abundance of foliage: broad, dark green leaves give the spray a solid, reassuring foundation, while smaller, rounded eucalyptus leaves weave in and out, introducing a muted, silvery green that adds depth and a sense of cool calm, much like the stillness of early morning in Hornsey. From the tapered end of the design, fine tendrils of darker trailing greenery extend in graceful lines, accentuating the natural flow of the teardrop shape. The spray appears dense and thoughtfully composed, with blooms layered closely together so that no single flower dominates; instead, they seem to support one another, creating a unified tribute. This is the kind of arrangement that would rest tenderly along a casket or form a focal point in a remembrance service at a local Hornsey chapel, quietly expressing love, respect, and farewell. The soft pink and white palette, combined with the lush green foliage, creates an atmosphere of peace and consolation, offering visual comfort to family and friends gathering to reflect and remember.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
An elegant, one-sided sympathy arrangement in white and green stretches diagonally across a clean white background, its lines fluid and contemporary, as if designed to guide the eye in a quiet, reflective journey. At its heart stand several grand white lilies, some fully opened with petals curving softly backwards, others closed in sleek buds, their presence commanding yet tender. Nestled around them are creamy white roses and gently ruffled carnations, the different petal shapes forming a subtle interplay of softness and structure, while white Gerbera-like blooms with pale centres punctuate the design with a bright yet understated cheerfulness. Wisps of tiny white filler flowers meander among the main stems, softening the edges and adding a sense of depth, like a faint haze around the main blossoms. The surrounding greens provide a lush, supporting frame: broad, glossy leaves reflect the light and give weight to the base; airy fern fronds introduce a sense of movement; and rounded eucalyptus leaves, in cool blue-green tones, calm the overall palette. Near the top, long, slender leaves are carefully folded and gathered into a compact, upright detail, contrasting with the broad spread of flowers below. From the lower right corner, a fan of narrow palm fronds arcs outward, exaggerating the arrangement's elongated teardrop shape and lending a graceful, almost sculptural quality. The mood is tranquil and reassuring, ideal for a funeral service or celebration of life in Hornsey, perhaps placed in a chapel near Alexandra Palace or delivered to a home off Crouch End Broadway, where the white blooms and layered greenery offer a gentle, dignified message of remembrance and quiet support.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
Envisioned with the spirit of Hornsey in mind, this dramatic diagonal funeral spray offers a heartfelt tribute, its form echoing the gentle sloping vistas seen near Alexandra Palace. At its heart, luminous white lilies unfold gloriously-some in full bloom, their golden stamens radiant, others still in tight bud, capturing the hope and remembrance often sought at farewells in local spaces like St Mary's Church. Among these, pink and fuchsia roses softly emerge, their petals tenderly unfurling to speak of love and cherished memories. White spray carnations weave delicately through the bouquet, providing gentle ruffles and enhancing its overall fullness. Lively green santini chrysanthemums cluster in rounded mounds, a modern flourish that brings the freshness of Hornsey's city gardens to mind. Sporadically nestled are bright red hypericum berries, their rich color adding an uplifting contrast reminiscent of the area's vibrant flower stalls. The abundant, varied green foliage-deep and broad leaves, some crisply folded, lighter feathery greens, and long, trailing palm fronds-frame the blooms and give movement to the piece, drawing the eye along its elegant diagonal sweep. Illuminated by diffused daylight, every bloom and leaf is showcased, making this arrangement a refined choice for expressing condolences or honoring a loved one at services throughout Hornsey, Crouch End, or Muswell Hill.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
Set against a bright white backdrop, this beautifully balanced sympathy spray stretches horizontally, its shape echoing a gentle, arching line that is more substantial on the left and gracefully narrows into a delicate, trailing point on the right. The design centres on a classic pairing of deep red roses and pure white carnations. The roses, with their velvety, tightly furled petals, stand like quiet sentinels throughout the arrangement, expressing deep affection and respect. Between them, clusters of white carnations bloom in soft, layered ruffles, adding both visual softness and a sense of purity and stillness. The contrast of crimson and white creates a dignified palette often chosen for funeral flowers delivered to Hornsey churches and local crematoria, where families gather to say goodbye. Supporting the blossoms is an abundance of rich foliage. Dark green leaves form a sturdy, glossy base, while finer stems of silvery eucalyptus thread through the flowers, introducing a softer, muted tone and an understated, fresh scent. From the right-hand tip of the spray, strands of lighter, trailing greenery reach outward in gentle arcs, lending an organic, cascading feel that suggests a quiet sense of movement, as though the flowers themselves are leaning into a final farewell. The overall impression is formal yet warmly human, ideal for resting on a casket, accompanying an urn, or sitting beside a framed photograph during a service in Hornsey. Looking at the arrangement, you can almost imagine the hushed atmosphere of a chapel, where this floral tribute offers comfort and a visual expression of sympathy when words fall short.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Set on a pure white background, this elongated red rose funeral spray is displayed at a diagonal, so the eye naturally travels from the neatly bound stems at the upper left to the gently tapered tip at the lower right, much as it would rest across a coffin during a service in Hornsey or nearby Alexandra Palace. The arrangement is densely planted with rich red roses, each flower velvety and full, with blooms at varying stages: some tightly furled, others partially open, and a few fully blossomed into wide, layered rosettes. Running alongside and between these roses are plentiful clusters of pinkish-red Hypericum berries, round and smooth, adding dimension and a slightly brighter highlight of colour to the otherwise deep crimson palette. Beneath the flowers, a strong foundation of dark green foliage is arranged in layered fans; broad, glossy leaves, likely Ruscus or Salal, provide structure and contrast against the softer textures of the petals and berries. Delicate palm fronds emerge from the lower section, their feathery, elongated leaves stretching beyond the main body of the spray, lending a sense of movement and a refined, tapering outline. At the top of the design, the stems are pulled neatly together and wrapped in an elegant band of green leaf, giving a natural, cohesive finish that feels both contemporary and traditional. The even, bright lighting enhances the richness of the reds and the lushness of the greenery without casting harsh shadows. This floral tribute feels calm, respectful, and deeply affectionate, a fitting choice for mourning families in the Hornsey community who wish to express love, honour, and gratitude in a simple yet striking way.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
An elegant sympathy spray in shades of white and cream is photographed on a pure white background, set on a diagonal that accentuates its elongated, tear-shaped form. At the upper left, the flowers gather into a rich, full mound dominated by classic white and ivory roses. Some of these roses are still in bud, their petals tightly wrapped, while others are open to reveal intricate spirals and layered, velvety textures, catching gentle highlights that suggest soft, natural daylight. Nestled among them are clusters of frilled white carnations, their ruffled edges adding volume and a cloud-like softness that contrasts pleasingly with the smooth curves of the roses. The blooms are cradled in a framework of lush foliage, including muted silvery eucalyptus leaves and deeper, more saturated greens that provide structure and depth. From the main body of the arrangement, slender ruscus fronds and similar trailing greenery sweep outward and down along the lower right, reinforcing the sense of flow and pointing the eye toward the spray's tapered tip. The composition is carefully balanced, with no single flower overwhelming the rest, and the white-on-white setting keeps undivided attention on the interplay of petals and leaves. This is the kind of heartfelt tribute you might expect to see at a Hornsey memorial service or wake, perhaps delivered to a family home overlooking Alexandra Park or a quiet street near Crouch End. The piece radiates gentle calm and respect, an appropriate floral gesture for honouring a loved one's life with dignity and grace when words alone may not suffice.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
In this image, a beautifully composed sympathy spray of yellow roses and red berries is captured against a clean, white background, allowing the rich colours and shapes to stand out clearly. The spray is arranged in a gentle diagonal, beginning with a full, rounded cluster of blooms at the upper left and tapering down to a slim, neat point at the lower right. At the core are numerous yellow roses, some still cupped and partially closed, others fully open so that their layered petals resemble soft, unfolding rosettes. Their sunny hue brings a subtle sense of comfort and light, fitting for a farewell that celebrates life as well as mourns a loss. Nestled among the roses are compact clusters of small, round red berries, likely Hypericum, their smooth, polished surfaces catching the light and adding a refined texture that contrasts with the velvety petals. Underpinning the flowers is an abundance of greenery: broad, dark green leaves form a dense base, some leaves skillfully folded to create structure and depth. From the narrower tip of the spray, slender palm-like fronds and trailing greens flow outward, each fine leaflet pointing forwards and contributing to the sweeping line of the composition. The overall impression is one of balance and grace, with the colour combination of yellow, red, and deep green feeling both traditional and quietly contemporary. It is easy to imagine this arrangement carefully prepared by Hornsey Florist for a local service near Crouch End or Alexandra Palace, offering a tender expression of remembrance and affection when words feel insufficient.
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
This image captures a refined funeral flower spray laid out against a smooth white background, allowing every gentle curve and detail of the design to be seen clearly. The arrangement is shaped like a traditional teardrop or casket spray, with a rounded, full top that gradually sweeps downward into a narrow, tapered point. At the heart of the piece are numerous soft pink roses, their velvety petals unfolding in layers from tightly held centres to open, generous blossoms. The shades of pink vary subtly, from nearly ivory blush to a more pronounced, muted rose, lending the piece a depth that feels both romantic and deeply respectful. Nestled closely among the roses, light peach-pink carnations introduce a finely ruffled texture, their small, layered petals filling spaces and creating a plush, continuous surface of bloom. The flowers are supported and framed by an abundance of greenery: broad, dark green leaves offer a solid, grounding backdrop, while lighter, slender sprigs and fern-like greens arch gently outward and down, especially along the lower right side. This flowing greenery gives the spray a natural, unforced elegance reminiscent of the leafy paths and gardens around Hornsey and nearby Alexandra Park. The visual effect is soothing and contemplative, well-suited to rest atop a casket or to be placed near a photo at a memorial gathering. One can imagine this arrangement delivered fresh the same day for a service in Hornsey, each stem carefully positioned by an experienced local florist to convey quiet support. The overall mood is one of comfort and remembrance, offering a delicate floral embrace to those saying their final goodbyes.

PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
Set against a clean, white background, this grand red sympathy spray takes on an almost sculptural presence, its elongated shape stretching gracefully from one end to the other. At its core is a striking concentration of red roses, red carnations, and red gerbera daisies, building a rich, textural landscape of crimson tones. The roses are velvety and luxurious, some tightly furled and others open to reveal layers of petals that curl back gently, suggesting enduring love and quiet devotion. Between them, the carnations form soft, cloud-like clusters, their ruffled petals adding depth and movement, while the tall-faced gerberas bring a bold, open-petalled contrast, their darker centres acting like small beacons that draw the eye along the length of the spray. Tiny clusters of white filler flowers-likely sprigs of baby's breath or miniature chrysanthemums-glimmer throughout, punctuating the stronger colours with touches of brightness. Surrounding this heart of red is a generous arrangement of foliage. Long palm fronds, in a deep, glossy green, fan outward in confident arcs, giving the spray a strong outline reminiscent of the classic tributes often delivered to services around Hornsey, Crouch End, and nearby Muswell Hill. Shorter, darker leaves such as salal or ruscus are layered beneath the blossoms, filling every gap and creating a sense of lush, considered fullness. Fine, fern-like fronds add a softer, feathery texture at the edges. Near the top centre, a wide red satin ribbon is tied into a voluminous bow, its shiny loops and gently curling tails threading through the flowers like a final, embracing gesture. This carefully composed spray, much like those prepared by Hornsey Florist for local funerals and memorials, radiates dignity, warmth, and a profound sense of remembrance.

SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Photographed against a stark white background, this large double-ended casket spray forms a graceful, flowing shape, rich with flowers chosen to convey sympathy and remembrance. The design is plush and abundant at the centre, gradually tapering to neat, softly pointed ends, making it ideal for resting over a coffin at a Hornsey funeral service. Deep red lilies, likely Oriental or stargazer types, dominate as strong focal blooms, their wide, star-like petals layered back to reveal gently freckled centres. Embracing them are clusters of roses in shades of ivory, cream, and pale pink; some are wide open, with whorls of velvety petals, while others remain budded, suggesting lives at different stages and memories unfolding over time. Light pink carnations add a comforting ruffle, their many petals catching the light and giving the spray a soft, cushioned appearance. Tiny white daisy-like flowers and small white spray chrysanthemums nestle between the larger blossoms, creating a delicate lacework of detail. Contrasting with the warmth of the reds and pinks, florist-placed blue-purple thistles and airy stems of lavender-blue filler flowers bring cool notes that echo a calm evening sky over Alexandra Park. A lush bed of greenery supports everything: deep green, glossy leaves provide structure, while lighter, fern-like foliage extends beyond the flowers, especially towards the lower right, suggesting gentle movement. The arrangement feels thoughtfully composed, as if crafted in a Hornsey Florist studio on a quiet morning before being delivered to a local chapel or crematorium. Its mood is peaceful and consoling, a floral gesture meant to comfort grieving hearts and honour a cherished life.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
The image shows an expansive, hand-tied funeral spray set against a bright white background, its form sweeping diagonally from upper left to lower right, like a floral echo of a river flowing gently onward. The design is lush and thoughtfully arranged, the kind of piece often requested for heartfelt farewells in Hornsey and neighbouring areas. A harmonious blend of colours greets the eye: soft blush pink, vivid fuchsia, hints of purple, and pure white, each shade carefully placed to guide the gaze through the arrangement. Prominent among the blooms are large gerbera daisies, some a tender pastel pink, others a bold magenta, their open faces adding a sense of uncomplicated warmth and remembrance. Nestled among them are refined pink roses, their petals tightly coiled in classic spirals, suggesting deep affection and respect. Fluffy white flowers-carnations or miniature chrysanthemums-dot the spray, bringing gentle volume and a comforting, cushiony texture. Threaded throughout are small white daisy-like blossoms, which lend a light, almost whimsical charm, like tiny wildflowers picked from a garden off a quiet Hornsey side street. Bright red hypericum berries appear at intervals, adding rounded shapes and intense pops of colour that draw the eye without overpowering the softer tones. The greenery is rich and varied: broad, glossy dark green leaves create structure; feathery ferns soften the outline; and silvery eucalyptus brings both modern style and a whisper of invigorating scent. Long, slender palm fronds extend from the lower right, emphasising the spray's cascading, sheaf-like silhouette. At the upper left, the neatly gathered stems remain visible, a reminder of the skilled hands that composed this tribute. Overall, the piece conveys peaceful sympathy and loving remembrance, ideal for delivery to local Hornsey funeral homes, chapels of rest, or celebration of life services.
