A refined sympathy spray, photographed against a crisp white background, features a flowing line of white lilies and lisianthus that would sit beautifully in a Bloomsbury memorial service. The arrangement stretches diagonally, fuller at one end and narrowing to a graceful point, much like a gentle brushstroke across a blank page. Several large oriental lilies serve as the main focal flowers; their broad, creamy white petals unfurl in generous, trumpet-like blooms, revealing subtle green throats and soft, pollen-tipped stamens. Interspersed with these open flowers are elegant buds that have yet to break, their smooth, sculpted forms bringing a sense of quiet anticipation and continuing love. Around and between the lilies, clusters of lisianthus blossoms add delicacy. Most of these blooms are white, with a faint lavender edging along the ruffled petals, reminiscent of evening light settling over nearby Russell Square. Small buds and partially open lisianthus lend depth and intricacy, suggesting layers of stories shared in remembrance. The flowers are supported by a generous foundation of mixed greenery. Broad, dark green leaves anchor the design, creating a strong visual base, while slender palm-like fronds extend outward, reinforcing the elongated, tapering shape. Some of the leaves have been artistically folded and rolled, forming sculptural arcs that reflect the craftsmanship of an experienced Bloomsbury florist. The overall mood of the spray is serene and contemplative, a fitting tribute for funerals, committals, or memorial gatherings around Bloomsbury and nearby Holborn, where quiet elegance and thoughtful gestures are often preferred ways to express sympathy.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
A dignified red sympathy spray dominates the white background, its form carefully composed into an elongated teardrop that feels both structured and soft. At the upper left, the blooms gather densely, then gradually thin and flow toward the lower right, where they finish in a refined, trailing point. The main flowers are deep red roses, open and velvety, each bloom a full rosette of layered petals that appear almost plush to the touch. Among them, ruffled red carnations and smaller sprays of carnations add fullness and intricate texture, their fringed edges catching the light and relieving the intensity of the solid rose petals. The interplay of different red tones-from profound, wine-like shades to brighter cherry notes-creates a nuanced, emotionally rich palette that speaks of love, farewell, and remembrance. A generous base of greenery supports the flowers: large, dark green leaves form a solid underlayer, giving the arrangement weight and definition, while rounded eucalyptus leaves in a soft, silvery green weave between stems, providing subtle contrast and a sense of calm. From the narrow, trailing end of the spray, lighter, more delicate greenery extends gracefully downward, suggesting gentle motion, like the quiet drift of leaves in one of Bloomsbury's garden squares. This is the kind of thoughtfully crafted funeral tribute you might see arranged for services near Great Ormond Street, Coram's Fields, or the literary streets around Russell Square, created by an experienced Bloomsbury florist who understands how flowers can hold memory, comfort, and unspoken words for grieving families.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
This image shows an elegant sympathy spray, photographed on a pure white background so that every colour and texture stands out clearly. The arrangement is designed in an elongated diagonal, flowing gently from the tied stems at the top left to a soft taper of foliage at the bottom right, like a quiet bow of farewell. At the heart of the design are several large Stargazer lilies, their petals a rich, saturated fuchsia, rimmed with white and patterned with fine burgundy speckles that draw the eye inward. Some lilies are fully open, others remain in bud, tinted with green and pink, adding a sense of unfolding remembrance. Interspersed among them are plush magenta gerbera daisies, bringing a touch of warmth and affection, while creamy white roses and ruffled white carnations create an atmosphere of serenity and respect. Fine white filler flowers, reminiscent of tiny daisies, are dotted throughout, softening the transitions between blooms. The spray is wrapped in abundant greenery: broad, dark leaves provide structure and depth, light fern fronds add feathery texture, and long, slender blades of foliage sweep outward and downward, enhancing the asymmetrical, teardrop silhouette. The overall impression is calm and contemplative, perfect for a funeral or memorial in Bloomsbury, whether placed beside the coffin in a local chapel or delivered to a townhouse near Bedford Place. The clean lighting and simple backdrop highlight the artistry and care of Bloomsbury Florist, reflecting the thoughtful way flowers can convey sympathy and enduring love.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Against a clean, white background, this funeral spray appears as a tranquil, tapered river of flowers, broad and full at the top left, then gradually narrowing into a soft point toward the lower right. The design is dominated by pink roses, their petals arranged in delicate spirals, some still cupped close like whispered thoughts and others fully open, revealing generous hearts of layered, velvety pink. Their shades shift from gentle blush to deeper rose, giving the arrangement a quiet, romantic warmth. Interspersed between the roses are clusters of pristine white carnations and spray carnations, their ruffled, almost feathery petals catching the light and adding a cool, airy contrast to the smooth rose blooms. The flowers rest on a base of rich greenery: glossy, deep-green leaves provide a strong outline, while scattered throughout are rounded eucalyptus leaves in a muted, silvery green, softening the overall look and evoking the crisp, fresh scent you might catch when strolling past garden squares like Bedford or Gordon Square in Bloomsbury. At the tapered end and along the sides of the spray, slender strands of dark green ruscus foliage trail gently downward, emphasising the natural, cascading movement of the design. The result is a balanced and composed tribute, suitable for adorning a casket or placed as a central display at a memorial service near the British Museum or local churches in WC1. With its calm colours and flowing form, the spray expresses tenderness, remembrance, and the enduring grace of a life cherished by those left behind.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
An elegant sympathy spray in shades of white and green is presented against a crisp white background, its diagonal, front-facing form shaped with the same thoughtful balance you might notice in the landscaped gardens around Bloomsbury. The focal point is a cluster of large white Oriental lilies, their petals wide, velvety, and slightly curved backwards, exposing fresh lime-tinged stamens and soft green throats. Some lilies remain as sleek, pointed buds, suggesting a continuation of life even in moments of farewell. Surrounding them are creamy white roses, both tightly furled and partially open, interwoven with frilled white carnations and flat, daisy-like Gerbera blooms, their pale centres adding a gentle, sunlit warmth. Tiny white filler flowers are dotted throughout, creating a gossamer layer that softens the transitions between the larger heads. The greenery underneath shapes the spray's profile: glossy dark leaves give it a rich, solid backbone; feathery fern fronds contribute a delicate, lacy edge; and rounded eucalyptus leaves in muted blue-green recall the calm corners of nearby Bedford Square. At the top of the design, long, slim leaves are carefully folded and tied, giving a tailored, modern accent that draws the eye upward. From the lower right, slender palm fronds fan outward, forming a graceful taper that leads the gaze along the length of the arrangement. The effect is serene, dignified, and gently hopeful, making this piece an ideal floral tribute for funerals, remembrance services, or quiet gatherings in and around Bloomsbury.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
Reflecting the thoughtful tranquility of Bloomsbury's literary heart, this elegant sympathy arrangement cascades gently from the top left to the bottom right, expertly arranged against a pristine white background. At its core are pristine white lilies, their open blooms and delicate golden stamens evoking purity and solace, while partially unfurled buds suggest ongoing remembrance. Velvet-petaled pink and deep fuchsia roses are nestled thoughtfully throughout, each unfurling bloom adding warmth and emotional resonance, much like the cherished community events around Tavistock Square. The bouquet's soft composition is enhanced by gently ruffled white spray carnations, providing fullness and an inviting softness. Bringing a contemporary edge, spherical clusters of bright green santini chrysanthemums stand out with their unique, almost playful, texture-reminiscent of youthful energy in local garden squares. Sprinklings of vibrant red hypericum berries offer cheerful pops of colour that contrast harmoniously with a rich tapestry of fresh green foliage, including broad, glossy folded leaves and airy, lighter greens. Long palm fronds sweep downward to complete the flowing effect, their graceful lines adding natural sophistication. This arrangement quietly weaves together tradition, compassion, and modern flair-making it a fitting tribute for memorial gatherings in Bloomsbury, designed to comfort and honour while drawing on the neighbourhood's elegant spirit and sense of community.
FOREVER ADMIRED SPRAY
£75.00
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
This image shows a beautifully composed sympathy spray laid out on a crisp white background, the details clear and undistracted, much like a floral centrepiece prepared for a respectful service in Bloomsbury. The arrangement stretches horizontally, fuller and more rounded at the top-left, gradually refining into a slender, tapering point at the bottom-right, creating a gentle sense of direction and farewell. At its core is a rich combination of deep red and pure white roses. The red roses are velvety and intense, their petals tightly layered and slightly cupped, expressing enduring affection and deep gratitude for a life lived. In contrast, the white roses bring a quiet serenity; their smooth, layered petals seem to unfold in soft spirals, suggesting peace, purity, and a sense of release. Together they form a harmonious, traditional palette that feels timeless and dignified. Supporting the blooms is a generous base of foliage: broad, muted sage-green leaves lend a soft, almost velour-like texture, while darker greens anchor the spray and provide strong, natural outlines. Between them, delicate, fern-like sprigs and trailing greenery arc outward from the edges and especially along the right-hand side, adding a natural, cascading movement. The design appears carefully balanced yet not overly rigid, reflecting the sensitive hand of a florist accustomed to creating funeral and memorial flowers for services near the British Museum, university chapels, and quiet residential streets around Bloomsbury. This type of arrangement is particularly suited as a casket spray or main tribute, offering a heartfelt, elegant way to express sympathy and honour cherished memories.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
This image shows a beautifully composed sympathy spray arranged on a pristine white background, its diagonal placement drawing the eye gently from the upper left where the stems are bound, down to the tapered tip on the lower right. At the heart of the design lies a generous cluster of red roses, each bloom velvety and rich in tone, some still in bud and others unfurling to reveal layer upon layer of soft petals. Weaving through the roses are abundant clusters of pinkish-red Hypericum berries, their small, rounded forms adding a subtly playful texture and a slightly softer shade of red that lifts the overall composition. The roses and berries sit atop a carefully structured base of lush greenery: broad, glossy dark green leaves form a solid, tranquil foundation, while lighter, feathery palm fronds and slender sprays of foliage extend outward, especially at the lower right, enhancing the arrangement's elongated, almost crescent silhouette. The stems at the top left are expertly gathered and encased in a wide band of folded green leaf, giving a polished, botanical finish that feels in keeping with the refined character of Bloomsbury and its historic garden squares. The even, gentle lighting emphasises the natural textures-the velour of the petals, the smoothness of the berries, the sheen on each leaf-without distraction. This traditional red and green funeral spray is the sort of thoughtful tribute that might be placed beside a lectern at a memorial near the British Museum or on a coffin during a service in one of Bloomsbury's churches, offering a quiet, heartfelt expression of sympathy, courage, and enduring affection.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
An elegant white and ivory funeral spray stretches diagonally across a spotless white setting, its lush, full head at the upper left gradually thinning into a fine, tapering point at the lower right. The arrangement forms a soft crescent or tear-drop, created from a generous mix of roses and carnations. The roses, in tones of pristine white and creamy ivory, show every stage of bloom, from tightly closed buds to open, cup-shaped flowers with spiralled centres that seem to invite contemplation. Nestled among them, frilled white carnations contribute a rich, cloud-like texture, each delicate petal edge layered upon the next, softening the transitions between blooms. These flowers rest on a bed of mixed greenery: broad, darker leaves provide solidity, while muted, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave through the middle of the spray, cooling the palette and adding a hint of natural movement. Fine, arching fronds of ruscus or similar trailing foliage extend from the underside and from the narrow tip, reinforcing the cascading line and drawing the eye gently along the design. The absence of any background detail and the clean, even light make the structure and harmony of the arrangement easy to appreciate, even without seeing it. The overall impression is one of quiet dignity and peace, suitable for resting across a casket or placed beside the lectern during a service in a Bloomsbury church or crematorium. It feels particularly fitting for a farewell near leafy squares like Bedford Square or Russell Square, where families might gather after the service, carrying with them the memory of this calm, white floral tribute crafted with care by a local Bloomsbury florist.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
Set against a clean white background, this elongated funeral spray is shaped like a softly falling teardrop, wide and rounded at the top left before narrowing into an elegant, tapered point to the lower right. The main impression is one of pale pink tranquillity: numerous roses in gentle blush and light dusty rose shades cluster together, their velvety petals layered and full, with some blossoms completely open and others still forming tight, hopeful centres. Between the roses, light peach-pink carnations, richly ruffled and slightly cupped, fill every space so the surface appears plush and unbroken. The pastel flowers sit upon a bed of deep green foliage, where broad, ovate leaves frame the design and finer, more slender greenery threads throughout, finally trailing from the tip in soft arcs that echo the gentle lawns and paths of Bloomsbury's leafy squares. The composition looks balanced and carefully considered, with flowers graded in height and angle so that the spray is harmonious when viewed from above, as it would be on a casket at a service. There is a quiet, comforting presence in the blend of colours and textures, the kind of thoughtful sympathy tribute families in Bloomsbury and the surrounding streets near the British Museum might select to accompany a final reading or shared remembrance. It conveys love, gratitude, and a peaceful goodbye, offering a soft focus of beauty in the midst of loss.
COMPASSIONATE FEELING CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
Set against a clean white backdrop, this elegant red memorial spray flows in a long, tapered line, like a river of flowers designed for a final farewell. The central portion is densely packed with deep red roses, some just beginning to open and others fully unfurled, their velvety petals layered in soft spirals that draw the eye inward. Interwoven with the roses are rich red carnations, whose ruffled petals and rounded heads create a plush, comforting texture, giving the centre of the arrangement a sense of warmth and fullness. Red gerbera daisies emerge throughout the spray, their flat, daisy-like faces and darker centres adding modern structure and a touch of brightness within the field of crimson. Small clusters of white filler blooms, similar to baby's breath or tiny chrysanthemums, are dotted among the red flowers, catching the light and providing gentle contrast, like quiet pauses in a heartfelt message. Just off the top-centre, a broad, shiny red satin ribbon is shaped into a generous bow, its loops sculpted and its long tails drifting down through the arrangement, reinforcing the theme of enduring love. Surrounding the flowers, long palm fronds and other deep green foliage splay outward, forming the elegant outline of the one-sided spray and giving it movement, while shorter greens and fine fern-like sprigs fill in the gaps to create a lush, finished look. This is the kind of dignified floral tribute that would feel at home in a Bloomsbury chapel or crematorium near Russell Square, offering a graceful expression of love, honour, and remembrance for a final service.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART CASKET SPRAY
£120.00
SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Presented on a pristine white background, this elongated funeral spray appears like a soft sigh of colour, stretching gently from a rounded top-left to a more pointed lower-right edge. At its heart, vivid red lilies open into generous, star-shaped blooms, lending strength, warmth, and focus to the design, like a steady thread of memory. Nestled among them are roses in shades of cream, ivory, blush pink, and pale lavender, some just beginning to unfurl, others fully open with layered, velvety petals that seem to hold stories of shared days and cherished conversations. Pale pink carnations, with their frilled edges, and small white chrysanthemum-style flowers fill out the composition, giving it comforting volume and a sense that every space has been considered and gently filled.

Cooler touches are scattered throughout in the form of blue-purple thistle-like blooms and tiny lavender-blue filler flowers, adding a hint of wild texture and contrast, reminiscent of the quieter corners of Bloomsbury's garden squares after the rain. The entire spray is supported by a generous collar of rich greenery, including broad, polished leaves and softer feathery sprigs, which spill slightly beyond the flowers to create a natural, flowing outline. The clean background and clear lighting make each colour and texture stand out, as though the piece has been placed carefully on a stand before a service in one of Bloomsbury's historic chapels. Crafted with the attention of an experienced local florist, this tribute expresses sympathy, gratitude, and enduring love, making it a fitting choice for families arranging a final farewell or memorial gathering in and around Bloomsbury.
