SPRAYS/SHEAVES
A dignified sympathy spray in rich tones of red and green lies against a stark white backdrop, its elongated, tapering form reminiscent of the tributes often seen at St Albans memorials and farewell services. The composition moves in a soft diagonal from upper left to lower right, creating a sense of gentle motion, as though the flowers are flowing in a final, graceful bow. Deep red roses, some tightly furled and others fully unfurled, form the emotional centre of the piece, their velvety petals evoking love, devotion, and cherished memories. Interwoven with them are bright red gerbera daisies with darker central discs and groups of frilled red carnations, adding layers of texture and intensity. Punctuating the arrangement, vivid lime green chrysanthemum pompons sit like small, rounded buttons of colour, giving a contemporary lift to the deeper reds. Delicate white filler blooms, possibly tiny daisies or gypsophila, drift through the design, softening the lines and lightening the overall feel, much like dappled sunlight in Verulamium Park. Around the blooms, an abundance of foliage creates a lush frame: broad, glossy dark green leaves, airy sprigs of fern, and various textured greens stretch outward to define the elegant silhouette. At the bottom edge, long, blade-like leaves sweep outward in a fan, while at the top a carefully tied bundle of tall green stems and a single wrapped leaf add height and structure. Thoughtfully arranged by experienced local florists serving St Albans and surrounding villages, this floral spray is ideal for funeral services, crematorium chapels, or graveside tributes, offering a quietly expressive way to say a final, loving farewell.

A refined sympathy spray of white lilies and lisianthus is shown on a clean white backdrop, its graceful shape reminiscent of a soft tear falling, often chosen by families in St Albans to honour a loved one with quiet elegance. The design is arranged on a diagonal, with the upper section full and rounded where the stems are nestled together, gradually narrowing to a delicate, pointed tip that suggests a gentle sense of movement and release. Large oriental lilies dominate the composition; some blossoms are fully open, their velvety white petals curving outward to frame pale green throats and softly dusted stamens, while several buds remain closed or half-open, adding a sense of unfolding time and unspoken prayers. Threaded throughout are clusters of lisianthus, also known as Eustoma, whose smaller, bell-like blooms bring intricate detail. Their white petals are edged with a subtle halo of lavender and fine purple lines, like the last blush of evening skies over the rooftops near St Peter's Street. The foliage is abundant and varied: broad, glossy leaves create a rich green foundation, and some are carefully folded and rolled into sleek, ribbon-like forms that lend a contemporary, crafted touch. Long, narrow palm-style fronds sweep outward from one side, echoing the gentle arc of a branch, and giving the spray a light, flowing profile. The colours remain calm and understated-ivory whites, soft lavender hints, and deep greens-conveying tranquillity rather than drama. This floral tribute feels both comforting and composed, suitable for resting atop a casket, beside a photograph at a memorial service, or delivered to a St Albans home as a heartfelt expression of sympathy and remembrance.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
A substantial red funeral spray is arranged in a sweeping, diagonal teardrop that seems to drift gently from the upper left towards the lower right, set against a flawless white background that makes every tone and texture stand out. At its core, velvety deep red roses open fully, each bloom with layered petals spiralling inward, giving the piece a sense of quiet luxury and heartfelt sincerity. Between them, smaller, brighter red spray carnations cluster in little constellations, their finely fringed petals catching the light and adding a soft, feathery counterpoint to the smooth rose heads. The flowers sit within a cradle of greenery that feels both protective and natural. Dark, substantial leaves form a strong foundation, anchoring the design visually in the way a sturdy tree anchors a garden. Threaded among them are rounded, grey-green eucalyptus leaves, their muted, almost powdery surface calming the intensity of the reds and lending a serene, contemporary touch. From the lower edge, delicate tendrils of lighter foliage trail outwards, tracing the line of the taper and suggesting movement, like a gentle stream flowing away. There is no harsh shadow here; the even light allows the reds and greens to glow softly, much as they might inside a peaceful chapel in St Albans or a quiet corner near Clarence Park. This casket spray feels crafted for a final goodbye: a carefully considered expression for families seeking to honour a loved one with something both traditional and deeply comforting, a final gesture that holds love, memory, and respect in every stem.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
An elegant, hand-crafted funeral sheaf is shown against a bright white background, its diagonal, teardrop form drawing the eye from the bound stems at the upper left down to the softly tapering tip on the lower right. The design feels like a gentle gesture of farewell, reminiscent of the calm, tree-lined avenues of St Albans, where families gather to remember loved ones. At the heart of the spray, large Stargazer lilies open in star-shaped bursts of fuchsia-pink with crisp white margins and dark speckling, their waxy petals catching the light with a subtle sheen, while several elongated buds add a sense of quiet anticipation. Around them, plush white carnations lend a ruffled softness, and creamy white roses, some still tightly furled, bring a sense of grace and reverence. Bright magenta gerberas punctuate the composition with round, daisy-like faces, suggesting warm memories and moments of shared laughter. Tiny white daisy blossoms or similar filler flowers peek between the larger blooms, adding intricate detail and a whisper of wildflower charm, as if gathered from a meadow outside St Albans. Layers of lush foliage cradle the flowers: broad, dark leaves provide a strong, structured base, feathery fern fronds add texture and airiness, and long, arching grass-like leaves sweep outward and downward to emphasize the elongated silhouette. The overall mood is solemn yet comforting, the colours and textures carefully balanced to convey sympathy, respect, and enduring love, making this design a fitting tribute for a funeral service or memorial gathering in St Albans and nearby villages.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Set against a clean, white backdrop, this elegant sympathy spray forms a flowing teardrop that seems to gently rest from top left to lower right, as if cradling a final farewell. The upper section is lush and full, gradually tapering into a delicate point that feels like a soft exhale. Throughout the design, pastel pink roses take centre stage, their petals unfurling in graceful spirals. Some are open wide, with layers of velvety petals catching the light, while others remain partly closed, their rounded shapes adding depth and tenderness. Nestled among them are clusters of snow-white carnations, or possibly spray carnations, their frilled edges creating a feathery contrast against the smooth rose petals. The palette of soft pink and pure white is grounded by abundant greenery: broad, dark green leaves with a glossy surface form a strong framework, while rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery-green tones weave through the flowers, adding movement and a hint of airy lightness. From the elongated right-hand tip of the spray, slim tendrils of dark green ruscus trail and cascade, echoing the gentle fall of foliage along the paths by the River Ver in St Albans. The arrangement is both traditional and quietly luxurious, ideal as a casket spray or as a prominent tribute at a memorial gathering. Crafted with the sensitivity and care you would expect from a local St Albans florist, the design conveys comfort, peace, and enduring love, making it a fitting floral expression when saying goodbye to someone deeply cherished.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A refined sympathy spray in serene white and layered greens is displayed against a plain white background, its form stretching diagonally as if it has just been carefully placed beside a casket or memorial stand in a quiet St Albans chapel. At the centre of the arrangement, large white lilies open generously, their broad petals curving outward to reveal soft, powdery stamens in tones of yellow-green, while several closed buds stand upright like gentle sentinels. Around them, ivory and cream roses in various stages of bloom-from tight buds to fully unfurled flowers-offer a sense of tenderness and continuity. White carnations with their familiar frilled edges cluster among the roses, and neat white Gerbera-style daisies introduce a clean circle of petals around a subtle dark or pale yellow eye. Fine sprigs of white filler flowers thread throughout, giving a misty, almost breath-like softness. The entire composition is anchored by an abundant bed of greenery: high-sheen dark leaves, airy fern fronds, and rounded eucalyptus leaves in muted green-blue tones create a layered backdrop, with texture that feels almost tangible. At the top, narrow green blades of foliage are wrapped and gathered, forming a structured vertical accent, while at the lower right, a dramatic fan of slender palm fronds extends outward, shaping the piece into an elongated, contemporary teardrop. The colour harmony of white and green conveys a sense of stillness and dignity, reminiscent of peaceful walks near St Albans Cathedral. This floral tribute speaks of quiet strength, remembrance, and comfort, suitable for funeral services or graveside farewells across the St Albans area.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
The image reveals a graceful and thoughtfully designed funeral spray, artfully arranged by experienced florists in St Albans and inspired by the serene beauty of Clarence Park. Flowing diagonally from the top left, the composition is a harmonious interplay of crisp white lilies-some trumpet-shaped and wide open, others still unfolding-symbolizing purity and grace at the heart of sympathy. Softly blushed pink and deep magenta roses are nestled between the lilies, their gentle tones implying remembrance, solace, and love. Clusters of white, ruffled carnations and delicate filler blooms lend fullness and a cloud-like softness. Distinctive green button chrysanthemums punctuate the greenery with their fresh, rounded texture, reminiscent of mossy lawns after a rain shower. Red hypericum berries shine bravely within the arrangement, providing moments of vibrant contrast. The mass of lush, varied greens includes broad, glossy leaves creatively folded to ground the piece and lighter, feathered foliage reminiscent of peaceful walks along the River Ver. Long palm-like fronds flow gracefully from the base, accentuating the diagonal cascade and enhancing the overall sense of movement. Subtle, filtered light glistens off moist petals and polished leaves, lending an aura of serene contemplation. This luxurious floral arrangement offers solace and respect, ideal for expressing heartfelt condolences at services or memorials held in and around the St Albans community.

GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
This image shows a dignified sympathy spray laid out against a clean white background, the simplicity of the setting drawing all attention to the flowers themselves. The arrangement flows from left to right, beginning on the left with a generous, mounded cluster of blooms that slowly tapers into a gentle, trailing tip, as if the flowers are guiding the eye along one final, quiet journey. Deep red roses, their petals richly layered and just beginning to open, are nestled throughout the piece, each one a symbol of enduring affection, devotion, and the depth of loss. Between them are numerous white carnations, ruffled and soft, their snowy petals adding a sense of purity and calm, like whispered blessings. Supporting these flowers is an abundant bed of greenery: dark, substantial leaves form the foundation, while sprigs of soft, silvery eucalyptus thread through the design, lending both texture and a cool, soothing undertone. From the right edge, fine tendrils of lighter green foliage extend outward, evoking movement and a sense of gentle release. The colour contrast of crimson, white, and green is both classic and comforting, perfectly suited to a funeral or memorial service. It is easy to imagine this thoughtful tribute resting on a casket or memorial table in a quiet chapel in St Albans, perhaps after a cortege has passed along Hatfield Road or through the historic city centre, offering families a graceful and composed way to say a heartfelt goodbye while surrounding their loved one with beauty and care.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A graceful funeral spray of red roses is arranged diagonally across a stark white backdrop, its rich colours and textures becoming the clear focus of the image. The eye is drawn first to the deep crimson roses that form the spine of the design, running along the full length of the tribute. Some roses are still in tight bud, others are partially unfurled, and a few are fully open, their velvety petals spiralling outwards to suggest a life remembered through many stages. Nestled between the blooms are generous clusters of round Hypericum berries, tinted with pinkish-red and soft coral tones that gently lighten the palette and add a natural, bead-like texture. Surrounding this central ribbon of flowers is a lush mantle of foliage: broad, dark green leaves with a glossy sheen create a solid foundation, while slender, feathery palm fronds arch outwards and downwards, especially towards the lower right, giving the spray an elegant, elongated shape. Finer stems flicker through the greenery, adding depth and movement, as if stirred by a quiet breeze over Verulamium Park. At the top left, the rose stems are tightly bound and finished with a smooth wrap of green leaf, suggesting the steady, practiced hands of a local St Albans florist. The white background keeps every detail crisp and uncluttered, allowing the tribute's meaning to shine through-an expression of love, sorrow, and gratitude, thoughtfully designed for a funeral, memorial, or graveside farewell anywhere in and around St Albans.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
A luxurious white funeral spray is displayed on a clean, white backdrop, the composition flowing diagonally like a gentle tear-shaped arc, full and mounded at the upper left and tapering to a narrow, graceful tip at the lower right. The main impression is one of roses: pure white and soft cream blooms layered together, some just beginning to open while others are fully unfurled, their spiralling petals forming delicate, cup-shaped blossoms that suggest both innocence and lasting devotion. Tucked among them, frilled white carnations add depth and volume, their feathery edges creating a soft, cloud-like texture that contrasts with the smoother rose petals. Beneath this canopy of blooms, lush greenery provides structure and colour: broad dark leaves and cool-toned eucalyptus weave through the design, while slender strands of ruscus and other trailing foliage extend from the tapered tip, echoing the feeling of a gentle farewell gesture. The white and green palette is calm and composed, reminiscent of an early morning walk through Clarence Park in St Albans, when the air feels still and respectful. The spray's shape and fullness make it suitable as a casket spray or a prominent sympathy arrangement at a funeral or memorial service, where families gather to say goodbye and share memories. Although the background is completely uncluttered, the flowers themselves tell a quiet story of care and craftsmanship, as if arranged by an experienced St Albans florist who understands how important it is for every petal, leaf, and trailing stem to reflect the love, gratitude, and tenderness felt for the person being remembered.

£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
A soft, elongated casket spray in shades of blush pink rests as if in peaceful stillness against a white backdrop, the kind of tribute you might see at a farewell gathering in St Albans Cathedral or a quieter chapel nearby. The design forms a classic teardrop, rounded and full at the top left before narrowing into a delicate point that seems to reach out in a final, tender gesture of goodbye. Numerous pink roses dominate the centre, some fully unfurled into generous spirals of silken petals, others halfway open with a more modest, cupped form. Their tones range from pale shell pink to slightly deeper, muted rose, creating a gentle gradient that reads as warmth, affection, and cherished memories. Nestled closely alongside are light peach-pink carnations, their ruffled, feathery petals filling every space and adding a plush, almost cloud-like texture. Deep green foliage encircles the flowers, with broad leaves creating a sturdy base and lighter, more slender greenery arching and trailing from the edges, echoing the gentle curves of paths around Clarence Park. Each stem appears meticulously placed, yet the arrangement still feels natural and unforced, as if the flowers simply came together in the most comforting way possible. The lighting is even, allowing the interplay of greens and pinks to remain soft and soothing, with no bright glare to disturb the tranquil mood. This floral spray is clearly intended as a sympathy tribute, ideal for laying on a casket, graveside, or memorial table in St Albans, carrying with it a message of compassion, support, and lasting love for the person being remembered.

PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
A luxurious red sympathy spray stretches diagonally across a crisp white backdrop, its elongated, one-sided form echoing the gentle curve of a casket or memorial stand. In the centre, a generous mass of deep red roses, ruffled carnations, and open-faced gerbera daisies creates a powerful focal point, every bloom closely nestled to give a sense of abundance and care. The roses appear velvety and rich, some spiralling open in full bloom, others held in tighter buds; the carnations introduce soft, cloud-like texture, while the gerberas bring a more graphic, daisy-like shape with dark centres that add depth. Fine clusters of tiny white filler flowers, similar to baby's breath or tiny chrysanthemums, are scattered between the red petals, offering subtle sparkle and contrast without disturbing the dominant ruby palette. A wide red satin ribbon crowns the upper section, sculpted into a voluminous bow whose glossy loops and trailing tails glide down through the flowers, reinforcing the theme of devotion and honour. Surrounding the blooms, deep green foliage spills outward: sleek palm fronds arch dramatically from the sides, while shorter, more compact leaves and feathery ferns fill in gaps to create a lush, grounded base. The arrangement suggests a quiet, heartfelt farewell, ideal for a funeral or remembrance service in St Albans, perhaps for a ceremony near St Peter's Street or one of the town's historic churches. Crafted with the calm assurance of an experienced local florist, the spray feels both formal and deeply personal, conveying lasting affection, courage, and respect through its rich red tones.

SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
A dignified, elongated casket spray in shades of red, blush pink, ivory, and soft purple rests against a clean white backdrop, its colours and textures quietly commanding attention. The design is full and carefully balanced, with deep crimson lilies forming bold focal points along the centre, their petals opening like stars in a night sky. Surrounding them are layers of cream and pale pink roses, some just beginning to unfurl and others fully open, their velvety petals suggesting gentleness and affection. Soft pink carnations, with their frilled, cloud-like edges, are tucked between the larger blooms, while clusters of white spray chrysanthemums and small daisy-like flowers bring lightness and serenity. Scattered among the warmer tones are cool blue-purple thistles and slender spires of lavender filler flowers, adding an unexpected touch of wild, meadow-like character. A rich foundation of glossy dark green foliage, mixed with finer ferny greens, extends beyond the flowers at each end, giving the spray its flowing, tapering shape. The arrangement feels calm yet expressive, like a soft-spoken goodbye filled with love and gratitude. It is easy to imagine this tribute being carried gently into a chapel in St Albans, perhaps for a service near the Cathedral, its fragrance of lilies, roses, and fresh greenery bringing comfort to gathered family and friends.

CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A refined funeral spray is displayed against a clean, white backdrop, its graceful diagonal line running from the upper left to the lower right as though gently placed along a casket at a St Albans farewell. The arrangement is rich in texture and colour, bringing together soft pink, fuchsia, purple, and crisp white blooms over a dense foundation of greenery. Generous gerbera daisies, some in pale baby pink and others in bold magenta, create eye-catching focal points, their broad petals radiating like quiet smiles. Nestled among them, elegant pink roses with layered, tightly curled petals offer a classic expression of affection and remembrance, evoking the kind of thoughtful tribute often chosen for services near St Peter's Street or Hatfield Road. Fluffy white flowers, probably miniature carnations or chrysanthemums, add ruffled volume, softening the overall look and brightening the darker tones. Threaded between the larger blooms are tiny, white, daisy-like florets that resemble chamomile, giving the impression of wildflowers gathered from a tranquil Hertfordshire meadow. Plump red hypericum berries dot the composition, introducing a warm accent and a pleasing, rounded texture. The foliage is both structural and decorative: broad, glossy leaves anchor the design, feathery ferns spill outward with a natural ease, and muted, silvery eucalyptus leaves lend a modern, serene note while hinting at a cool, refreshing scent. From the lower right edge, slender, dark green palm fronds sweep outwards, emphasising the flowing, asymmetrical shape. At the upper left, the bound stems are visible, a subtle reminder of the florist's careful, hand-tied work. This meticulously crafted spray is ideal for a memorial, cremation, or church service around St Albans, conveying heartfelt condolences and a peaceful, dignified goodbye.
