An elegant, circular sympathy wreath that balances rich indigo with pure white, carefully composed to express lasting respect and gentle mourning. The main body is thickly covered in small, vibrant royal-blue chrysanthemum-like flowers, packed so closely they form a lush, textured ring whose tiny petals catch soft, diffused light and create a quiet plushness across the surface. The inner aperture and outer edge sit upon a foundation of pleated white satin ribbon; the fabric's soft folds and low sheen act as a refined frame, brightening the deep blue without overpowering it. Near the upper-left arc a clustered trio of deep blue roses commands attention - their velvety, layered petals curl outward in full bloom, shaded with subtle highlights that emphasize their sumptuous texture. Surrounding these roses, fine sprigs of white gypsophila and a few glossy dark-green leaves add delicate contrast and a traditional sympathy touch. Flowing from the mid-left toward the lower-right, a cascade of pure white orchids (Phalaenopsis-style) overlays the blue field with graceful, elongated blooms; their papery, translucent petals and soft centres lend an airy, almost floating quality. Several lime-green orchid buds punctuate the cascade, some closed, some barely opening, evoking quiet renewal. The arrangement's overall impression is one of composed serenity - an appropriate wreath for memorial services or condolence deliveries within Herne Hill and nearby Dulwich, designed with florist-grade materials and an eye toward dignified remembrance.

A large, circular sympathy wreath composed almost entirely of intensely electric royal blue blooms-tiny chrysanthemum or carnation-like flowers-forms a plush, velvet-textured ring against a clean white backdrop. The tightly packed blue petals create a continuous, saturated halo whose surface shimmers slightly in soft studio light, giving the impression of depth and density rather than individual stems. At the crown of the circle three full, velvety deep-blue roses sit as a clear focal point, their petals unfurling in perfect, sculpted spirals; they are gently softened by sprays of tiny, cloud-like white baby's breath and a few glossy, dark green leaves tucked beneath, which add a classic, composed contrast. From the left side a graceful spray of pristine white orchids-likely Phalaenopsis-cascades downward, each open blossom wide and luminous against the blue field; a fine stem of pale yellow-green buds curves among the orchids, hinting at newness and quiet unfolding. The wreath's inner edge is finished with a crisp, ruffled white satin ribbon that frames the central negative space and lends a formal, dignified border. The overall scent would read as a subtle, clean floral note rather than overpowering perfume-an appropriate restraint for funeral or memorial use. Visually, the arrangement balances intensity and calm: the electric blues convey respect and fidelity while the whites speak of peace and consolation. Locally made for Herne Hill and its communities near Brockwell Park and the Half Moon, the piece reads as both an artistic tribute and a comforting presence for services and remembrance gatherings, crafted with measured care and floral technique suited to solemn occasions. A solemn yet tender circular funeral wreath composed of a dense, voluminous ring of deep sapphire-blue chrysanthemum-like blooms set against a clean white backdrop. The massed blue petals form a plush, textured cushion that reads both rich and restrained; under soft, cool studio light the tiny florets show delicate ridges and a velvety surface that soothes the eye. Framing the inner circumference is a pleated white satin ribbon, its soft sheen and ruffled edges offering a quiet, formal contrast to the saturated blue, lifting the composition with classic refinement. At the upper-left curve, three large, fully opened blue roses sit in a clustered focal group - their layered, velveteen petals catching a hint of shadow to reveal depth and an almost tactile softness. Interspersed behind the roses are feathery sprays of white baby's breath and a few dark green leaves, giving a whisper of garden freshness and delicate structure. From the mid-left the arrangement is gently traced by a cascade of pristine white orchids - likely Phalaenopsis - whose translucent, rounded petals arch and drift across the blue field, creating a graceful diagonal that suggests movement and calm. Several lime-green orchid buds dot the stem, some tight and promising, others just beginning to unfurl, symbolising continuity amidst mourning. The overall mood is one of respectful affection and tranquil remembrance, a floral tribute that balances deep, mournful blue with the purity of white-ideal for a memorial service in Herne Hill or a quiet tribute near Brockwell Park.
