FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
A light, off-white woven basket with a curved handle is set against a bright white backdrop, holding an artfully arranged cluster of fresh flowers that blend elegance with tender emotion. At the centre, a single creamy white rose, its petals perfectly swirled and softly textured, becomes the calm focal point of the funeral display. Around it, two velvety deep purple calla lilies rise with graceful, trumpet-like forms, their rich hue adding a solemn, sophisticated note that feels appropriate for saying goodbye. Interwoven between these statement blooms are delicate clematis flowers in shades of pale lilac and soft lavender, their star-shaped petals and gentle yellow eyes lending an almost ethereal lightness. Sprays of small yellow and white trumpet-like blossoms, reminiscent of alstroemeria or freesia, bring subtle brightness without overpowering the quiet mood, like fleeting sunbeams on a cloudy day over Balham's quiet residential streets. On the right, a single magenta gerbera daisy leans forward, its vivid colour and fine radiating petals evoking the personality and individuality of the loved one being remembered. All of this is anchored in a generous bed of glossy green foliage, with broad leaves and finer, lighter sprigs creating layers of texture and depth, as though gathered from a peaceful garden. Soft, natural shadows beneath the basket ground the image in reality, reinforcing the sense that this is a carefully crafted tribute ready to be delivered to a Balham chapel of rest or crematorium. The overall impression is one of gentle comfort, hope, and gratitude, suitable for expressing sympathy or honouring a life with quiet, floral beauty.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
A softly lit funeral flower basket is arranged with the tenderness of a personal condolence, its pale colours gathered in a light, woven container with a curved handle that frames the blooms. The basket overflows with creamy white roses, each rose fully open and perfectly cupped, the petals forming gentle spirals that seem to invite a moment of reflection and stillness. Around these focal blooms, smaller white and pastel yellow flowers reminiscent of freesia nestle in clusters, some still in bud, suggesting that not every story is fully told yet. Scattered throughout, pale lavender clematis flowers stretch their pointed, star-like petals, their yellow-green centres glowing softly against the surrounding creams and greens, adding a note of quiet distinction. A lush collar of dark green foliage encircles the flowers, with glossy, broad leaves and finer stems that frame the arrangement like a protective embrace. The whole piece rests on a pristine white background, which makes the soft tones of ivory, butter yellow, and lilac appear even more delicate and pure. It is easy to imagine this basket being delivered by a Balham florist to a family home off Balham High Road or near Wandsworth Common, where it might sit peacefully on a table during a wake or memorial gathering. The atmosphere it creates is one of gentle solace rather than drama, offering comfort through its balance, craftsmanship, and the simple beauty of fresh, premium blooms. Every detail feels intentional, from the rounded silhouette to the interplay of colour and scent, making it a respectful and heartfelt choice for saying goodbye.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
In this refined funeral flower basket, a sense of calm and dignity comes through the careful composition of blooms gathered in a light, natural wood container with a graceful arched handle. The basket itself is simple and unobtrusive, its oblong shape raised slightly on small feet so it appears to float above the surface, letting the flowers take centre stage. Creamy white roses open fully across the arrangement, their rounded, layered petals forming soft focal points that speak of peace, innocence, and cherished memories. Around them, deep red carnations create a rich tapestry of colour, their many ruffled petals catching the light and giving the display a velvety texture. Some carnations are delicately variegated, with white bases and brushed pink or crimson edges, adding nuance and a gentle transition between the dominant tones. Tucked between the larger flowers are sprays of small white blossoms, reminiscent of freesias, with slender, arching stems and graceful, bell-like blooms that lighten the overall feel. A generous collar of glossy dark green leaves frames the design, while wisps of fine, ferny greenery lift from the top and sides, adding airiness and a natural, garden-like ease. The arrangement is tightly composed into a full, rounded mound, with no harsh gaps, suggesting thoughtful craftsmanship by local Balham florists who often prepare such tributes for quiet services and memorials around Bedford Hill and Tooting Bec. On the crisp white background, the interplay of cream, red, pink, and green provides a gentle yet expressive way to send condolences and honour a life well lived.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
Set against a crisp white background, this round, hand-tied bouquet appears almost to float, its carefully constructed dome of colour and texture revealing the work of an experienced florist. The focal blooms are generous garden roses in gentle tones of light pink, creamy peach, and warm yellow, their layered petals curling softly outwards, some fully opened, others still swirling towards the light. Nestled amongst them are delicate clematis flowers, star-shaped and airy in white and pale lavender, each blossom centred by a bright yellow eye that adds a touch of brightness and focus. Blue Eryngium, or sea holly, introduces a striking contrast with its spiky, thistle-like heads in cool metallic blue-grey, standing proudly among the softer shapes like small sculptures. Deep purple lisianthus blooms, some in tight buds and others just beginning to unfurl, bring richness and depth, echoing the mood of an elegant evening in one of Balham's cosy restaurants. Scattered throughout are clusters of glossy red Hypericum berries, their rounded forms and vibrant colour giving the bouquet a playful lift, like confetti captured in time. Supporting all of this is a rich base of green foliage: broad, polished leaves, fine feathery fronds, and a few strands of darker, almost wine-coloured greens that create shadows and dimension. The light appears soft and even, enhancing the natural hues and delicate textures without distraction. This bouquet feels equally suited to a joyful birthday delivery to a Balham townhouse or a thoughtful thank-you gesture after a dinner near Tooting Bec, offering a fragrant, romantic snapshot of a garden gathered into one harmonious design.

COMPASSION POSY
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
A sumptuous, dome-shaped bouquet of mixed lilies and roses is shown against a clean white background, the kind of composition you might see resting on a polished table in a Balham townhouse near Bedford Hill. The arrangement is densely packed yet carefully balanced, with broad, trumpet-shaped white lilies opening gracefully, their petals smooth and luminous, almost glowing under the even studio lighting. Threaded between them are clusters of pastel pink roses and creamy ivory roses, some half-open with curled edges, others fully expanded to reveal spiralling layers of velvety petals. Adding a vivid focal point, rich magenta Oriental lilies, similar to Stargazers, emerge through the softer tones, their bright fuchsia petals dusted with darker speckles and centred with yellow pollen-tipped anthers that catch the light. Around these statement blooms, delicate sprays of white baby's breath create a soft mist, filling tiny gaps and giving the bouquet a cloud-like, romantic halo. Flecks of fresh green leaves and stems are just visible at the base and between blossoms, hinting at the underlying structure and craftsmanship. The bouquet appears freshly arranged, petals unblemished and dewy, as though it has just been finished in a local Balham flower shop for same-day delivery to a celebration near Tooting Bec or a quiet anniversary dinner close to Clapham South. The overall mood is one of joyful romance and refined celebration, perfect for weddings, milestone birthdays, new baby greetings, or any heartfelt occasion where beauty and emotion are meant to take centre stage.
