A broad, horizontal presentation spells BEST in bold uppercase letters, every character formed from a serene palette of whites, lavenders and fresh greens against a pristine white background. The arrangement foregrounds large, immaculate white gerbera daisies - their dark centres providing a calm graphic counterpoint - together with delicate white lisianthus and full white carnations that give both softness and substance to each letter. Soft mauve and lavender roses, along with ruffled carnations and tiny clusters of deeper purple fillers, are woven through the white fields to add a dignified, gentle shadow and a sense of warmth. Abundant feathery fern fronds trace and frame each letter, their soft green edges creating a natural border, while small green button chrysanthemums are tucked into the masses to add texture and a fresh pop of verdant color. Where petals are thinner a dark grey or black shaping base shows subtly, lending rigidity and clarity so the letters read perfectly from above. The overall effect is quiet and respectful, with the mixed scents of roses and carnations hovering faintly in the imagined air; it reads as a bespoke funeral tribute, a way to mark esteem and memory. I can see this piece being prepared in a soft morning light near Barkingside's shops, destined for a memorial service at a local church or cemetery, an expressive floral statement that balances craft, colour and quiet emotion for those remembering a beloved person.

An intimate, horizontal sympathy tribute spelling SON, photographed against a clean white backdrop so every texture reads clearly. Each letter - S, O and N - is densely formed from cool whites and soft purples, a quiet composition of large, crisp white blooms that look like full chrysanthemums or densely petaled garden-style flowers, punctuated by delicate white anemones with their striking near-black centers. Interspersed among the white masses are soft lavender and pale mauve accents - tiny clusters of statice and miniature roses or ruffled carnations - that introduce a gentle, reverent warmth without brightening the mood. The letters are edged and cushioned with feathery fern fronds and rich green button chrysanthemums, the small rounded green heads adding fresh contrast and depth within each letter's body. A subtle dark grey or black structural base peeks through in places, giving each character a clean, readable form while the white background keeps the feeling airy and spare. There is a faint, comforting scent suggested by the mixture: the green, almost herbal note of ferns and button blooms, the soft sweetness of roses, and the powdery, tender aroma of chrysanthemums. This arrangement reads as a personal, handcrafted memorial piece - suitable for a funeral chapel or a wake - conveying deep love, steady grief and a desire to offer beauty in farewell. I picture it prepared in a quiet morning at a local Barkingside workshop, arranged with careful hands and carried with respect to a nearby church service or graveside beside Hainault Forest, a comforting floral language when words fall short.

    I'm impressed by the creativity and variety of the arrangements shown on their site photos. What a surprise it was when they delivered the flowers and were even better than they looked in the photos.

    Handy Flowers sent me some condolence flowers, which I thought was very considerate of them.
