SPRAYS/SHEAVES
Set against a crisp white backdrop, this elongated sympathy spray unfolds in a gentle diagonal sweep, its rich colours and layered textures drawing the eye from base to tip. At the centre lies a generous gathering of deep red roses, gerbera daisies and ruffled carnations, their velvety petals ranging from burgundy to bright scarlet, suggesting both profound sorrow and the enduring warmth of cherished memories. Threaded through these passionate tones are clusters of lime-green chrysanthemum pompons, each small, round flower head adding playful texture and a fresh, contemporary brightness. Scattered among the stronger colours are tiny white filler blooms that could be daisies or gypsophila; they appear like soft breaths of light, easing the intensity of the reds and greens. Surrounding this core of colour, an abundance of lush foliage creates a structured, flowing frame: glossy salal leaves provide a dark, reflective base, while feathery ferns and other mixed greenery introduce delicacy and movement. At one end, broad green leaves extend outward in a fan, accentuating the tapered, teardrop-like silhouette. At the opposite end, tall, straight stems rise upward, gathered into a neat bundle and cinched with a single broad leaf curving gracefully around them, giving the arrangement a refined, almost architectural finish. The overall impression is of a dignified funeral spray, lovingly composed by a Balham florist familiar with the quiet corners of Tooting Common and the families who gather there to say goodbye, making it a fitting floral tribute for a memorial, funeral or celebration-of-life service in and around Balham.

£75.00
FLORIST CHOICE SPRAY
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £100
£100.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £200
£200.00
A refined sympathy spray in cool, gentle tones stretches diagonally across a clean white backdrop, its graceful shape reminiscent of a leaf carried on a soft breeze over Balham's quieter streets. Dominating the design are white oriental lilies, some fully opened into star-shaped blooms with velvety petals and softly glowing stamens, others still in elegant bud form that promises, but does not demand, full bloom. Around and between them, delicate white lisianthus blossoms cluster in small groups. Their petals are finely edged with lavender and etched with light purple lines, like watercolour strokes, adding a hint of colour that never disturbs the overall serenity of the arrangement. Tight lisianthus buds peek through, giving the spray a sense of life and gentle movement. The greenery is abundant and carefully structured: broad, glossy deep-green leaves anchor the composition, while elongated, feathery palm fronds sweep outward along one side, emphasizing the elongated, tapering form typically chosen for casket sprays and memorial tributes. Some of the larger leaves are artfully folded and curled into subtle, sculptural shapes, showcasing the florist's craft and creating a modern counterpoint to the traditional blooms. The spray appears fuller and rounded at one end, then narrows gracefully to a soft point, ready to rest across a coffin, memorial stand, or graveside near Balham's local churches. The overall impression is one of quiet dignity and tender remembrance, a floral expression well suited to offering condolences and honouring a life with understated elegance.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
A large, flowing funeral spray of red flowers and greenery is arranged in a graceful teardrop shape, set against a clean white backdrop so every detail stands out with clarity. The upper left of the design is full and opulent, brimming with dark red roses whose velvety petals unfurl in generous spirals, each bloom suggesting devotion, honour, and a life cherished. Threaded among them, clusters of bright red carnations and spray carnations with finely frilled petals create gentle ripples of texture, softening the bold colour with their light-catching edges. This dense cluster gradually thins as the arrangement tapers to the lower right, where trailing stems of fresh green foliage extend like a quiet sigh. Broad, glossy leaves form a strong green foundation, while smaller, rounded eucalyptus leaves in a muted silvery tone bring a cooler note, echoing the calm of a still morning in Balham's quiet side streets. Fine, arching strands of light green foliage, perhaps ruscus or similar, flow from the main body and sweep outward and down, giving the spray a natural, cascading movement as if it has just been gently placed on a casket or at the front of a chapel. The composition feels thoughtfully balanced and deeply respectful, evocative of a farewell service in one of Balham's churches or crematorium chapels, where such an arrangement from a local florist would be chosen to convey sympathy, remembrance, and enduring affection for someone deeply loved.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
Displayed on a pure white background, this sophisticated funeral sheaf stretches diagonally from top left to bottom right, creating a graceful, tapering line that feels both gentle and assured. The eye is first drawn to the dramatic Stargazer lilies at its heart, their fuchsia-pink petals boldly speckled in deep burgundy and edged with luminous white, some fully open, others still in tight green-and-pink buds. They are surrounded by velvety magenta gerbera daisies that add a burst of contemporary colour, balancing the timeless elegance of creamy white roses and soft, frilled white carnations. Fine clusters of tiny white daisy-like blooms are scattered through the design, bringing a veil of lightness and innocence to the arrangement. The flowers are cradled in a generous sweep of glossy dark green foliage, including broad leaves that shape and support the spray, and airy fern fronds that soften the outline. Long, slender blades of greenery extend beyond the main cluster, flowing down and outward, giving the tribute a sense of movement as if gently leaning in a respectful bow. At the upper left, the stems are firmly bound, showing the careful craftsmanship of a professional florist used to preparing sympathy tributes for Balham families saying goodbye at local chapels or crematoria. The muted yet rich palette and harmonious structure create a mood of quiet hope and enduring affection, making this spray a fitting choice for honouring a loved one, whether placed beside a coffin, at a memorial near Tooting Bec, or delivered to a Balham home as a heartfelt expression of sympathy.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Displayed against a crisp white backdrop, this elongated teardrop funeral spray captures a sense of calm, heartfelt sympathy in every carefully placed bloom. Soft pink roses dominate the composition, their petals unfolding in gentle spirals that range from the palest blush to a warmer rose hue, like the subtle tones you might notice in front gardens along Balham High Road at dusk. Nestled between the roses, fluffy white carnations and spray carnations bring a purity and lightness, their finely textured petals creating a soft, cloud-like surface that invites the eye to rest. The flowers are cradled in a rich bed of foliage: glossy, deep green leaves form a reassuring frame, while round, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave through the arrangement, adding both depth and a suggestion of cool, soothing scent. From the tapered end of the spray, fine, trailing stems of dark green ruscus spill gracefully down, emphasizing the natural, flowing silhouette that gently narrows to a point. Crafted with the sensitivity of an experienced local florist, the design balances fullness with space so that each blossom has room to be seen and appreciated. This is the kind of tribute families in Balham might send for a memorial or funeral service, a floral expression of condolences when words feel too small. The combination of pastel pink and clean white flowers, framed by lush greenery, conveys a message of peace, respect, and quiet dignity, offering comfort much like the stillness of an early morning walk through Wandsworth Common after a night of heavy thoughts.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
This image shows a beautifully composed sympathy spray, designed in an elongated, diagonal line that seems to flow from the upper left down to the lower right, much like a quiet river of flowers through Balham. The blooms are almost entirely white, creating a sense of purity and calm, with subtle shifts in tone from crisp white to soft cream. Large Oriental lilies form the focal point, some fully open with their star-shaped petals curving outward, others still smooth, tapered buds nestled among the greenery. Around them, creamy white roses and frilled carnations create a soft, full heart to the arrangement, while daisy-like white Gerbera blooms add a gentle, open-faced charm. Small white filler flowers, airy and delicate, fill the spaces between, giving the spray depth and a slightly misty, ethereal quality. The flowers rest on a rich bed of foliage: glossy dark leaves that anchor the design, feathery fern that brings light movement, and rounded eucalyptus foliage in a muted blue-green that introduces a cool, soothing note. At the top, long green leaves are carefully folded and grouped, adding structure and a sense of intentional craftsmanship. From the lower right, slender palm fronds sweep outward in a graceful fan, defining the spray's contemporary, asymmetric outline. The clean white background keeps every petal and leaf clearly visible, as if under soft chapel lighting. This dignified arrangement would be at home at a Balham crematorium service, a memorial near Wandsworth Common, or delivered as a heartfelt condolence tribute to a family home, offering comfort, respect, and quiet strength.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
This exquisite funeral arrangement, crafted by an experienced Balham florist, captures the balance of grace and strength found along Balham's familiar streets and cozy neighbourhood corners. Diagonally arranged from the top left to the bottom right on a pristine white backdrop, the piece radiates composure and thoughtful artistry. Majestic white lilies-some bursting open to reveal soft gold stamens, others gently held in bud-anchor the design and impart feelings of purity and serenity. Interspersed among the lilies, clusters of deep pink or fuchsia roses blossom, their gently unfurling petals symbolic of warmth and cherished memories. A delicate scattering of white spray carnations or similar blooms creates a subtle texture, wrapping the central flowers in a blanket of tranquility. Spherical, lime-green santini chrysanthemums appear throughout, their unique form and fresh colour reminiscent of Balham's community gardens, while bright red hypericum berries, carefully dotted among the foliage, introduce notes of cheer and remembrance. Dense, varying shades of green leaves frame the display: some broad and glossy, meticulously folded for structure, and others slender and palm-like, extending gracefully down and away. Feathery sprigs add a lightness, as though the bouquet were caressed by a gentle breeze on Tooting Common. This arrangement is designed to be not only a visual focal point but also a deeply emotive gesture-ideal for expressing condolences, offering support, or commemorating a life. Its harmonious blend of classic and contemporary blooms embodies both tradition and heartfelt empathy, perfect for honouring loved ones in the Balham area.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
Set against a bright white studio background, this horizontal funeral spray appears like a serene island of colour and texture, created to honour a life with grace. The left side of the arrangement is particularly lush and mounded, gradually tapering into a slender, trailing point on the right, suggesting a gentle sense of direction and farewell. Throughout the design, rich crimson red roses rise from the greenery, their petals tightly curled and velvety, conveying profound love and a grief that runs deep. Nestled among them, generous clusters of white carnations form soft cushions of blossom, their delicately frilled petals giving the piece a tender, comforting feel. Supporting these blooms is a carefully layered mix of foliage: broad, glossy dark green leaves build height and structure, while cool-toned, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave through the spray, adding both texture and a quiet, aromatic freshness. At the far right, slim sprays of lighter green ruscus or similar greenery extend outward, softening the edge and creating a sense of natural flow, as though the flowers are gently leading the eye onward. The palette of red, white, and green is classic and solemn, perfectly suited to a memorial service in Balham, whether laid beside a casket or placed by a graveside. As a local florist might explain to a family visiting from around Balham High Road or Bedford Hill, this style of arrangement is chosen when words feel inadequate, and flowers are asked to carry messages of respect, remembrance, and a final, heartfelt goodbye.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
An elongated, red-rose funeral spray rests on a pristine white background, its diagonal placement creating a sense of gentle movement from one corner of the image to the other, like a final gesture of farewell. The stems are gathered neatly at the upper left, wrapped with a wide band of smooth green leaf, so the binding itself becomes a decorative feature rather than something to hide. From this point, the design flows outward and downward, filled with rich, velvety red roses that range from tight, solemn buds to half-open and fully unfurled blooms, each petal curving softly and catching the light. Nestled among these roses are generous clusters of small, coral-pink Hypericum berries, their rounded forms and softer tones bringing contrast and a subtle luminosity to the darker red flowers. A base of broad, glossy foliage - likely Ruscus or Salal - creates a deep green backdrop, the leaves overlapping in layers that feel protective and steady. Fine palm fronds and lighter, feathery greens radiate gently from the lower right edge, extending the spray into a refined teardrop silhouette and adding a sense of air and space to the composition. The overall effect is traditional yet contemporary in its clean lines and balance, perfectly suited to a memorial or funeral service. It is easy to imagine this piece being delivered from a Balham florist to a quiet chapel or family home, offering a tangible expression of condolence and love when words feel too small, and surrounding a final goodbye with colour, texture, and grace.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
A graceful white funeral spray is arranged in a sweeping crescent, resting on a crisp white background so that every petal and leaf appears calm and uncluttered. The eye is drawn first to the full, mounded section at the upper left, where clusters of pristine white and soft cream roses sit closely together, some only just beginning to unfurl and others fully open, revealing intricate, cushion-like hearts. Interwoven among them, clouds of ruffled white carnations add texture and volume, their softly frayed petals giving the flowers a gentle, feather-light look. The blooms rise from a bed of layered green foliage, including cool-toned eucalyptus leaves that weave through the centre and darker evergreen fronds that anchor the base. Towards the lower right, slender trails of greenery extend beyond the flowers, creating a tapered point that feels like a quiet exhale, echoing the natural curve of a teardrop. The overall colour story is intentionally restrained-shades of white, cream, and green-evoking purity, remembrance, and the stillness that follows loss. The even, studio-style lighting and uncluttered background keep all focus on the careful craftsmanship of the spray, as though a Balham florist has just finished it in the workshop and laid it gently down. It is easy to imagine this arrangement being delivered to a service near Wandsworth Common or to a family home off Ritherdon Road, offering a tender, respectful gesture when words feel inadequate. The composition speaks of love, farewell, and a life honoured with quiet elegance.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
A refined pink funeral spray lies as if at rest on a pristine white surface, its classic teardrop shape broad at the top and gently narrowing to a soft point. The design is built around clusters of soft pink and light peach-pink roses, their petals spiralling outward in delicate layers that catch the light with a velvety sheen. These roses are nestled closely together, interspersed with countless blush carnations whose softly ruffled edges fill every small gap, giving the tribute a plush, cushioned appearance. Deep green foliage anchors the composition: generous, ovate leaves form a dark cradle beneath the blooms, while finer, elongated fronds and sprays of greenery edge the sides and extend from the lower right, giving the arrangement a sense of natural movement, as though a gentle breeze from nearby Tooting Common had just brushed past. The colour palette remains calm and understated, with pastel pinks fading into subtle peach tones, framed by the steady presence of rich, woodland greens. There is a sense of quiet intimacy, as if the flowers were chosen and placed one by one in memory of a cherished life shared in Balham's streets, cafés, and family homes. The spray's low, flat profile makes it ideal for a casket top or as a central tribute at a memorial service, its softness inviting a moment of reflection. The entire piece conveys solace and gentle farewell, expressing sympathy, gratitude, and respect without a single word, like a whispered blessing for a final journey.
COMPASSIONATE FEELING CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
A striking red funeral spray stretches diagonally across a pure white backdrop, its shape tapering gently at one end like a teardrop laid to rest. The centre of the design is packed with deep red roses, some buds still tight and promising, others fully unfurled to reveal velvety, spiralling petals that catch the light with a soft sheen. Nestled among them are clusters of red carnations, their frilled edges creating a plush, almost cushion-like texture, contrasted by flat-faced red gerbera daisies that bring a bold, modern note with their daisy-shaped blooms and darker eyes. Here and there, tiny white filler flowers break through the sea of red, like soft whispers of light that add depth and a gentle contrast. Anchoring the composition near the top is a wide red satin ribbon, polished and luminous, tied into a generous bow with trailing tails that weave naturally through the flowers as if guiding the eye from top to bottom. Around the blooms, long, arching palm leaves fan outward in deep green sweeps, supported by shorter, denser foliage such as salal or ruscus, and occasional fern tips that introduce fine, feathery detail. The overall impression is both lush and composed, with each element carefully placed to create a flowing line and a sense of respectful grandeur. It is easy to imagine this spray, crafted by experienced Balham florists, resting on a casket in a local church near Hildreth Street Market or standing at the front of a crematorium chapel, conveying love, honour, and remembrance in strong, unwavering shades of red.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART CASKET SPRAY
£120.00
SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Set against a crisp white background, this dignified casket spray unfolds in a long, tapered shape, as if gently pointing the way from farewell towards memory. Deep crimson Oriental lilies anchor the design, their broad, star-shaped blooms opening with a sense of quiet drama, the petals richly coloured and slightly speckled near the throat. Soft cream and blush pink roses are scattered generously throughout, some cupped tightly with promise, others fully unfurled to reveal their intricate hearts, adding a tender, classic beauty. Ruffled pale pink carnations cushion the spaces between, giving the arrangement an almost cloud-soft texture, while clusters of small white chrysanthemums and dainty daisy-like flowers bring light and purity to the composition. Threaded between the larger blossoms are accents of cool-toned blue-purple thistles and airier sprays of lavender or statice, their spiky and feathery forms providing contrast and subtle movement. The flowers are held within a lush bed of greenery: broad, glossy leaves, slender stems, and fern-like fronds radiate outward, especially towards the narrower end, creating a feeling of gentle flow and balance. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting each colour and texture without distraction. Imagined in situ, this spray could rest on a coffin in one of Balham's local chapels or crematoria, its fragrance of lilies, roses, and fresh foliage offering a quiet comfort to family and friends. Designed with care by Balham Flowers, it feels both traditional and contemporary, a heartfelt sympathy tribute that reflects enduring love and respect for a cherished life.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
Against a clean white backdrop, an elegant diagonal funeral spray stretches from the upper left to the lower right, its form echoing the natural flow of a gentle river. The composition is anchored by generous gerbera daisies in pale baby pink and rich fuchsia, their open faces adding a modern brightness to this otherwise serene sympathy tribute. Interwoven among them are soft pink roses, carefully opened so that each spiral of petals is visible, symbolising love and remembrance held close. Ruffled white blooms, likely petite carnations or chrysanthemums, scatter a sense of purity throughout, while tiny white daisy-like flowers lend a whimsical, almost meadow-like feel, reminiscent of the wildflowers you might spot along quieter Balham side streets near Wandsworth Common. Small clusters of red hypericum berries punctuate the arrangement like gentle heartbeats, adding both colour and a subtle, natural texture. The spray is framed by a lush variety of greenery: wide, glossy dark leaves provide structure and depth; airy green ferns soften the outline; and rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves bring a contemporary touch and the suggestion of a cool, fresh scent. Long, dark green palm leaves trail gracefully from the lower right, emphasising the cascading, tapering shape that makes this design so fitting as a casket spray or prominent funeral tribute. At the upper left, the bundled stems are visible, neatly bound to show the skilled craftsmanship behind the piece. This thoughtfully layered arrangement feels deeply reassuring, ideal for honouring a loved one at a memorial service or crematorium gathering in Balham, offering calm, beauty, and a respectful, heartfelt goodbye.
