Captured from an overhead perspective on a stark white field, this perfectly round bouquet showcases a refined palette of whites and creams rendered with calm precision. The arrangement's dominant elements are several white oriental lilies, their wide petals unfurling to expose delicate central stamens and slender pistils with hints of pale green and, on closer inspection, faint cooler tones that add depth to the floral centers. Interspersed among these open lilies are compact ivory roses, each bud and semi-open bloom forming soft rosettes of velvety petals that contribute layered density and gentle shadow play across the surface. The small, cloud-like sprigs of Baby's Breath weave through the larger blooms, their innumerable tiny blossoms producing a lacy texture that lightens the visual weight and creates a soft, almost halo-like border between blooms. Small swathes of bright green foliage are visible around the outer edges, their smooth leaves offering a crisp, living contrast to the creamy whites. The lighting is soft and even, which enhances the bouquet's tactile qualities - from the satiny lily petals to the plush, layered roses - and conveys a mood of serene celebration or reflective comfort. Crafted with the sensibility of a local workshop near Croydon and meant for occasions ranging from weddings to memorial tables, this bouquet reads as both elegant and trustworthy, a floral composition that honours traditions while remaining quietly modern.

Seen from a top-down, aerial viewpoint against a pure white background, this large round bouquet reads like a study in soft light and refined whites. Several broad-petalled white oriental lilies open like porcelain trumpets, their pale yellow stamens and slender green filaments visible at the centers, petals catching a gentle studio light that gives them a luminous, almost satiny sheen. Nestled between and beneath those lilies are clusters of creamy white roses, mostly in tight bud and just-parted bloom stages; their layered, velvety petals form compact rosettes that add depth and a plush texture to the composition. Sprays of tiny white Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) tumble through the arrangement, their miniature blossoms creating a frothy, cloud-like infill that softens edges and breathes a delicate intricacy into the dense circle of flowers. Bright green leaves peek out around the circumference, their fresh, waxy surfaces providing a subtle but necessary contrast that frames the bouquet and emphasises the purity of the whites. The overall effect is calm and ceremonial - a bouquet that suggests weddings, christenings or understated sympathy, radiating quiet dignity and hope. You can almost imagine the faint, sweet perfume of lilies mingling with the warm, heady rose scent as if placed on a mantel after a morning delivery. This image captures both the florist's technical eye for symmetry and a tender, reassuring mood, making it easy to picture this arrangement landing in a Thornton Heath home or on a reception table near the pond on a soft spring day.

This classic posy design features smooth white roses, elegant white lilies (liliums) and delicate gypsophila, creating a peaceful, cloud-like tribute full of grace and purity.

Perfect as a funeral posy or condolence flowers, the Compassion Posy is available in three sizes: Original (approx. 28cm / 11"), Deluxe (30cm / 12") and Grand (36cm / 14"), with the Grand size pictured. Our skilled florists in Thornton Heath carefully arrange every stem to ensure a beautiful, balanced display suitable for services, memorials or as a thoughtful gesture to the bereaved.

To ensure maximum freshness and longevity, some flowers may be delivered in bud so you can watch them gently open over time. Roses are supplied with their natural guard petals to protect the inner blooms during transit; simply remove these outer petals on arrival for a flawless finish. As some flowers are seasonal, we may substitute blooms with similar flowers of the same or superior style, quality and value.

    Funerals are part of life but they are rarely expected. I stumbled on this site when helping a friend with ideas for funeral posies. When we placed an order, they did not disappoint. It feels good to know you have a place to turn in times of dire need.

    I always thought ordering flowers online was kind of risky, however Handy Flowers proved to be very reliable and loyal company. Absolutely worth giving them a try no matter what the occasion is.
