An expertly crafted, symmetrical dome of flowers that reads as a small, peaceful landscape in soft pink and white. The primary focus is on classic pink roses - a range from fuller, open roses with layered velvet petals to compact spray roses that provide softer, peppered tones and a sense of depth. Interspersed gracefully are pure white freesias, some shaped like tiny trumpets revealing pale yellow stamens and others held as buds, creating a rhythm of openness and promise. Supporting greens include substantial, glossy leaves (suggestive of ruscus or salal) that build the arrangement's base, alongside striking variegated foliage with creamy edges-likely pittosporum-whose lighter tones pick up the whites of the freesias and add contrast without overpowering the pinks. The composition is dense and cushion-like, with stems concealed to maintain a formal, refined silhouette; a subtle shadow on the white background underscores its three-dimensional presence. Soft natural lighting accentuates textures - the velour of rose petals, the satiny freesia blossoms, and the matte sheen of the variegated leaves - inviting both sight and imagined scent. It reads as a sympathetic, consoling piece suitable for a memorial or funeral, though equally at home as an elegant get-well gift or understated celebration arrangement. Crafted in the style regularly requested by neighbours from the High Street to Portland Road, this bouquet reflects the gentle, considered approach of local floristry, and is offered by Florist South Norwood for families seeking a tasteful, heartfelt tribute within the area around Norwood Junction and Whitehorse Lane.

A soft, dome-shaped floral tribute arranged with the calm restraint of a quiet morning in South Norwood. At its heart sit soft pink roses - a mix of fully opened, velvety blooms and smaller spray roses in paler blush - their layered petals forming gentle swirls that invite a close, tactile imagining. White freesias punctuate the pink with small clusters of bell-shaped flowers; some are open and revealing pale yellow stamens, others remain as slender buds, promising a slow, fragrant unfolding. The greens are lush and varied: deep glossy leaves (think ruscus or salal) create a stable, shadowed backdrop while variegated pittosporum-like leaves with cream-edged margins lift the palette and add a chalky brightness. No stems are visible; the composition is compact and meticulously domed, creating a cushion of blooms and foliage that reads as both formal and comforting. Natural light washes over the arrangement, sketching soft highlights on petals and the subtle sheen of foliage, giving a sense of morning sunlight filtering through trees - a scene familiar to anyone who wanders South Norwood Lake & Grounds at first light. The scent is suggested more than stated: a whisper of sweet rose softened by the clean, peppery freesia. This piece is intended as a gentle expression of sympathy or for a serene celebration of life, though its tenderness also suits a quiet birth announcement or an intimate birthday. Local families around Portland Road, Whitehorse Lane, and Norwood Junction will recognise the measured, dignified style typical of neighbourhood florists who work with seasonal, freshly cut stems.

    I wish I didn't had to order flowers for a funeral but for a happy occasion... However, I'm really thankful for an amazing service! Very friendly team.

    Contacted Handy Flowers to arrange the flowers for the funeral of a close family friend. Everything was conducted in a very professional manner.

    My sister recommended that I use Handy Flowers. She ordered a posy for our cousin's funeral and I needed to do the same. They were so beautiful. I am very thankful that I found this company!
