A sculptural Celtic cross made from fresh flowers, photographed against a clean white studio background with gentle overhead light that highlights the three-dimensional form. The body of the cross is composed of densely packed, pure white spray chrysanthemums whose delicate, layered petals produce a soft, refined texture across the arms and extended lower shaft. Contrasting bands of bright apple-green button chrysanthemums are skillfully inset to outline the circular ring at the centre and to fill alternating segments along the horizontal arms, creating a measured interplay between cool clarity and verdant accent. At the very heart, where the arms intersect, three vibrant orange-gold roses form a concentrated focal cluster; their rounded petals open like tiny suns, warmed further by a few dark green fern sprigs that tuck in behind them to provide depth and botanical contrast. The composition reads both contemporary and traditional-the Celtic motif anchors it in spiritual symbolism while the fresh colourway suggests Irish connection, quietly evoking the tricolour without literalism. In my work for families across Thornton Heath and neighbouring Norbury or Selhurst, I assemble pieces like this for funeral services and commemorations when clients ask for something that honours heritage with restraint and tenderness. The overall effect is one of quiet strength: a precise, heartfelt memorial that balances textural softness, colour clarity, and a small, luminous gesture of rose-coloured solace.

A three-dimensional Celtic cross sculpted entirely from fresh blooms, photographed from slightly above against a crisp white backdrop so every petal and shadow reads clearly. The cross's broad arms and long shaft are densely built from clusters of pure white spray chrysanthemums, their tiny, feathery petals forming a soft, cloud-like base that reads as calm and pure. Woven through that white field are cushions of bright apple-green button chrysanthemums, tightly packed to trace the circular ring at the intersection of the arms and to punctuate alternating segments along the crossbars-these green discs add a tactile, almost velvety contrast to the airy white. At the very centre, where the arms meet, three fully opened orange-golden roses gather as a small, luminous heart: their warm, honeyed petals carry a gentle rose perfume that seems to lift off the photograph, framed by a few dark green fern sprigs which both cradle and set them apart. Soft studio lighting reveals the three-dimensional depth of the design, casting delicate shadows that emphasise the sculptural quality of the tribute. As a florist who often assembles memorial pieces for families around Thornton Heath Pond, I hear this piece speaking of quiet dignity and rooted remembrance; the green and white echo Irish colours without overt pageantry, and the roses offer a private flame of warmth. This arrangement reads as a sympathetic, ceremonial cross suitable for funerals or commemorations, a carefully composed floral statement that honours Celtic heritage while remaining refined and respectfully understated in tone. Shown here is a refined sympathy cross, meticulously arranged with a blend of white, green, and warm orange tones that feels both peaceful and quietly proud. The cross shape is fully covered in white chrysanthemums, each bloom nestled tightly next to the other so that the petals merge into a dense, soft surface, like freshly fallen snow brushed smooth by hand. Along the edges, rounded domes of lime-green button chrysanthemums create a decorative border, their bright, grassy colour and spherical heads giving the piece a contemporary twist while still remaining respectful. At the exact centre, where the vertical and horizontal arms meet, are three luminous roses that draw the eye: one rich orange, one leaning to apricot, and one touched with golden yellow, each petal curling outward in velvety layers. These roses sit within a collar of small, bright green filler and darker ferny foliage, which arc gently and add depth and contrast to the design. The arrangement is lit with clear natural light that reveals all the intricacies of the petals and leaves, from the fine textures to the gentle shading of colour. This floral cross would suit a funeral or memorial gathering in Thornton Heath, such as a service at a local church off Brigstock Road or a small chapel farewell. It echoes the tones of the Irish flag without overpowering the sense of calm, offering mourners a symbol of hope, faith, and loving remembrance, thoughtfully composed by a florist used to creating meaningful tributes for local families.
