SPRAYS/SHEAVES
This image shows a long, tapering sympathy spray placed against a pristine white background, its form reminiscent of a gently drifting leaf. At its core, a cluster of deep red blooms immediately draws attention: classic roses in velvety burgundy tones, some open and some still in bud, mingle with bold red gerbera daisies whose darker centres add depth, and soft, ruffled carnations that enhance the sense of fullness. Interwoven through this sea of red are bright lime-green chrysanthemum pompons, their spherical, tightly packed petals bringing a striking contrast that feels contemporary yet tender, much like the quiet blend of old and new you find walking through Barnsbury's residential streets. Tiny white filler flowers, perhaps small daisies or gypsophila, appear throughout the composition as delicate, starlike accents, giving the eye small, peaceful resting points. All of these blooms rest on a bed of mixed greenery that shapes and supports the spray: broad, glossy leaves form a robust base, while airy fronds of leatherleaf fern and other foliage fan outwards, softening the edges and creating a sense of movement. On the lower right side, several long, slender leaves are carefully fanned outward, their clean lines echoing the elongated profile. At the upper left, a neat bundle of upright green stems stands like a quiet sentinel, wrapped at the base with a single broad leaf for a polished, sculptural effect. Crafted in a style beloved by families around Barnsbury for funerals and remembrance services, this arrangement combines strong colour, thoughtful structure, and gentle texture to convey respect, love, and a calm, enduring farewell.

This graceful memorial spray is photographed against a clear white backdrop, highlighting its clean lines and the gentle contrast between snowy blooms and rich foliage. The arrangement flows diagonally, with a fuller cluster of flowers at the top that gradually tapers to a slender, pointed end, echoing the shape of a traditional sheaf laid with care. Several large white oriental lilies dominate the upper portion, their trumpet-like blooms widely open to show pale yellow-green stamens, while nearby buds remain closed, suggesting lives remembered at different stages. Threaded amongst these lilies are clusters of lisianthus, their white petals edged in soft lavender and subtle purple veining, creating a delicate halo of colour that feels as quiet as a walk through a Barnsbury garden square at dusk. Small, tightly closed lisianthus buds appear throughout, adding fine detail and a sense of continuity. The foliage is abundant and thoughtfully layered: broad, dark green leaves offer stability and depth, while narrow, spiky palm fronds sweep outward and along the lower length, enhancing the sense of movement and flow. Some of the larger leaves near the centre have been shaped into rolled and folded forms, creating sculptural accents that reveal the experienced touch of a local Barnsbury florist. The overall palette of serene whites, muted lavender edges and deep greens creates a calm, reflective mood, appropriate for placement on a casket, memorial table, or by an urn. The design speaks of respect, tenderness, and the quiet strength of remembered love, making it an ideal choice for sympathy flowers and funeral tributes sent to families throughout Barnsbury and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
An elegant red casket spray, shaped like a long, tapering teardrop, is displayed cleanly against a white backdrop so every bloom and leaf is distinct. The design begins with a full, domed cluster of deep red roses at the upper left, their velvety petals open and layered, each flower carrying the quiet symbolism of devotion, respect, and lasting memory. Between and around these roses, red spray carnations unfurl with finely ruffled petals, adding softness and a gentle, cloud-like texture that fills the spaces and enriches the overall form. The crimson flowers gradually step down along the diagonal, narrowing towards the lower right, where the spray ends in a soft, pointed tip. Cradling the blooms is a generous base of greenery: strong, dark green leaves create a solid foundation, while round, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves thread through the arrangement, bringing a cool, misty contrast that calms the richness of the reds. From the tapering end and outer edges, strands of delicate, light green trailing foliage, similar to ruscus, extend in gentle curves, suggesting movement and a natural, cascading fall. The piece feels both structured and organic, well suited to rest on a casket or be displayed alongside a photograph at a memorial in Barnsbury. It is easy to imagine this tribute being crafted by experienced hands at a local studio near Thornhill Square or along Caledonian Road, freshly assembled for same-day delivery to a nearby chapel or crematorium. The overall mood is quietly reflective, offering comfort and a tangible expression of love for families gathering in the Barnsbury community to say goodbye.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
Displayed against a spotless white background, this elegant sympathy sheaf sweeps across the frame in a diagonal from top left to bottom right, forming a refined crescent shape. At the centre, dramatic Stargazer lilies unfold their star-shaped petals, richly painted in fuchsia-pink with bright white borders and speckles of burgundy radiating from each bloom's heart. Some lilies stand fully open, while others remain gently closed as pink-flushed buds, giving the piece a feeling of living, evolving beauty. Surrounding them, bright magenta gerbera daisies introduce bold, cheerful circles of colour, softened by gathered white roses and layered white carnations that convey purity and quiet remembrance. Tiny clusters of white daisy-like filler flowers weave between the larger heads, adding a delicate, almost lacy texture. The arrangement is cradled within a generous cloak of greenery: broad, glossy dark green leaves provide structure, feathery fern fronds add movement and airiness, and long, slender shades of foliage arc outwards and cascade towards the lower right, underlining the spray's elongated, flowing form. The stems are tightly bound at the upper left, reflecting the careful hands of a local Barnsbury florist who might prepare such a tribute for a service in a nearby church or crematorium around Islington. Imagining the scene, the subtle fragrance of lilies and the cool freshness of foliage offer comfort amid grief. This design feels perfectly suited to funerals, memorial gatherings, or sympathy deliveries across Barnsbury, expressing both deep sorrow and enduring love with its blend of vibrant pinks and serene whites.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
An elegant funeral flower spray in soft shades of pink and white appears against a pure white background, its flowing teardrop outline immediately signalling a gentle farewell. At the wider end of the spray, clusters of pastel pink roses gather in a harmonious blend of tones, from whisper-light blush to richer rose pink, their petals arranged in delicate spirals that speak of care and craftsmanship. Nestled amidst them are pure white carnations and spray carnations, their finely ruffled petals adding softness and body, like little cushions of cloud supporting the roses above. The design gently narrows toward a refined point, forming the familiar, elongated shape often chosen for casket sprays at Barnsbury funerals and remembrance services in nearby chapels and halls along Caledonian Road. Around the flowers, an abundance of greenery offers structure and depth. Broad, dark green leaves with a subtle sheen create a secure base, while rounded, silvery eucalyptus leaves weave through the arrangement, bringing cooler highlights and a sense of calm. From the tapered tip, slender trails of dark green ruscus extend outward, giving the piece an understated sense of movement, as if echoing the quiet breeze that drifts through Barnsbury's leafy garden squares. The lighting is soft yet clear, allowing the viewer to imagine the freshness of each bloom, as though it has just been arranged in a nearby Barnsbury flower studio. The overall mood of the spray is dignified and soothing, an appropriate and comforting tribute for honouring a loved one, offering solace and beauty to families at a time of reflection and farewell.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
A graceful sympathy arrangement in calm whites and layered greens is pictured on a pure white background, designed as a one-sided spray that flows gently from top left to lower right. Dominating the centre are large white Oriental lilies, some fully open with wide, curving petals that reveal yellow-green stamens, others still in smooth, tapered buds that promise future beauty. Surrounding them are clusters of soft white roses, ruffled carnations, and white Gerbera-type daisies, their creamy or pale yellow centres adding a touch of warmth to the cool palette. Delicate white filler flowers are interspersed among the main blooms, creating a subtle veil of texture and lending the spray an airy, almost shimmering quality. The arrangement rests on a bed of varied greenery: broad, glossy leaves provide a solid base, feathery fern fronds contribute lightness, and rounded eucalyptus leaves in muted blue-green tones bring additional depth and a hint of woodland fragrance. At the upper portion, long, slender leaves are folded and gathered into a tidy vertical element, lending structure and refinement. The lower right section is defined by a dramatic sweep of narrow palm fronds that fan out and taper away, giving the piece its elongated, asymmetrical shape and gentle sense of movement. This dignified tribute feels perfectly suited to a quiet Barnsbury farewell, whether placed beside a coffin in a local chapel or delivered to a funeral home near the tree-lined streets and garden squares, where its soft colours and calm lines can help express sympathy when words feel insufficient.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
This elegant floral spray brings a touch of Barnsbury's serene sophistication to any memorial setting. Diagonally cascading across a crisp, white background, the composition balances the purity of large, open white lilies-each displaying radiant golden stamens-with the tenderness of partially opened buds. Vibrant pink roses, some tightly curled, others beginning to flourish, reflect warmth and gentle affection. Delicate white spray carnations lend body and softness, their ruffled petals a subtle nod to the garden blooms of Barnsbury's nearby squares. Interspersed are rounded, moss-green santini chrysanthemums, which bring a fresh, modern texture, while ruby red hypericum berries add joyful accents among the greenery. Deep, glossy greenery is abundant, including bold, folded leaves and finer sprigs, all framing the flowers with a lush, contemporary style. Palm fronds extend gently, emphasizing the arrangement's sloping movement, much like the gentle paths winding through Barnsbury's residential enclaves. With a restrained yet heartfelt palette, this arrangement is perfect for expressing sympathy or offering a graceful tribute, symbolising peace and remembrance within the beloved environs of Barnsbury.

£75.00
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
This image reveals a carefully crafted sympathy tribute arranged against a crisp white backdrop, the kind of floral spray often prepared for funerals and memorials in the Barnsbury area. The design is elongated and slightly asymmetrical: it begins on the left with a fuller, domed mass of flowers, then gently tapers as it extends to the right, where fine greenery trails away in a soft, cascading finish. Deep red roses form the main accents, each bloom tight and velvety, their petals curling inward in layered spirals that suggest strength of feeling and enduring affection. Threaded among them are numerous white carnations, generously clustered, their ruffled petals creating a light, cloud-like texture that softens the intensity of the red. The combination of red and white creates a respectful, traditional palette, ideal for honouring a life with quiet dignity. Supporting the flowers, a thick bed of foliage is clearly visible. Broad dark green leaves provide the structural base, glossy and substantial, while cooler tones of silvery-green eucalyptus leaves are scattered throughout, adding depth and a gently diffused look. From the slimmer right end, slender stems of trailing foliage, such as ruscus, drift outward, giving the arrangement a natural, flowing movement as if the flowers were gently spilling over an invisible edge. The entire piece sits low, without a visible container, indicating it is meant to lie flat along a coffin top or at the front of a service. One can easily imagine this arrangement crafted by Barnsbury florists and carried through nearby residential streets toward a local chapel, offering a tender, floral expression of sympathy and remembrance.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
An elongated funeral spray of rich red roses and berries is presented against a stark white background, the simplicity of the setting drawing the eye to every detail of the design, much like a tribute laid in a quiet Barnsbury chapel. The arrangement runs diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, where it gently tapers to a soft point, giving the impression of a flowing, graceful movement rather than a static shape. At the top left, the stems are gathered tightly and wrapped in a wide band of deep green leaf, creating a neat, polished handle. From here, the blooms and foliage spread out, building volume and texture before narrowing again, forming an elegant teardrop silhouette. Deep, velvety red roses are the focal point, some still held in bud, others opening or fully unfurled, their layered petals giving a sense of depth and emotion. Between them nestle clusters of small, round Hypericum berries in coral-pink and red tones, adding subtle highlights and a playful counterpoint to the drama of the roses. The base of the arrangement is formed by lush greenery: broad, glossy dark leaves create a strong, structural foundation, while fine, airy palm fronds extend past the edges, especially towards the lower right, emphasising the length of the spray. Additional slim stems of foliage weave through, adding lightness and dimension in the way of natural growth along the paths near Thornhill Square Gardens. The overall effect is one of composed serenity and quiet strength. This is the kind of sympathy spray chosen for funerals and memorial services in Barnsbury, conveying enduring love, respect, and remembrance through its classic red-and-green palette and flowing, carefully balanced design.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
Set against a pure white backdrop, this elegant funeral spray runs diagonally across the frame in a smooth, teardrop curve, filled with white and cream blooms that appear both soft and strong. The fullest part of the design gathers at the upper left, where numerous roses cluster together, their petals tightly layered or gently unfolding to reveal spiralled centres that look almost luminous against the neutral setting. Interspersed with them, frilly white carnations add a gentle, downy texture, so that the surface of the spray feels rich and plush without being overwhelming. The flowers rest upon and weave through a base of mixed foliage: glossy dark leaves for structure, misty eucalyptus leaves with a cool, silvery tint, and slender, arching stems of greenery that trail outward and downward, accentuating the spray's flowing shape. The whites and greens remain carefully balanced, evoking calm, like the quiet streets of Barnsbury early in the morning near the garden squares and terraced houses. Even in this still photograph, you can sense the florist's deliberate touch, placing each stem to achieve harmony and respect. The design could easily be imagined on a casket in a Barnsbury church, or placed beside a framed photograph at a memorial service, earning a final glance from relatives and friends. Its mood is gentle and contemplative, offering solace through its simplicity and order, and speaking of remembrance, peace, and heartfelt sympathy without the need for words.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
A serene sympathy spray stretches diagonally across a white backdrop, arranged in a long, tapering teardrop that feels both polished and organic. The upper left portion swells with fullness, then the design gradually narrows, flowing to a delicate point at the lower right, suggesting a gentle gesture of farewell. The spray is densely packed with soft pink roses in varying stages of bloom: some are wide open, showcasing concentric rings of plush petals, while others are still in tighter bud, lending depth and a sense of unfolding time. Interspersed among them are numerous light peach-pink carnations, their finely frilled petals creating a soft, cloud-like texture. Together, the roses and carnations form a cushion of blush tones that seem to glow softly, evoking warmth, comfort, and remembrance. Around this sea of pastel blooms, a frame of rich green foliage anchors the design. Broad, dark leaves, smooth and slightly glossy, support the main body of the spray, while finer, more elongated leaves and trailing sprigs extend from the sides and along the pointed end, adding movement and a natural, slightly cascading effect. The white background keeps the focus entirely on the flowers, highlighting each petal's curve and the interplay of light and shadow within the arrangement. The overall impression is one of quiet grace, the sort of casket spray that might be chosen by families in Barnsbury to adorn a coffin during a funeral service at a local church or crematorium. It feels like a floral embrace-calm, compassionate, and thoughtfully crafted to honour a cherished life.

£90.00
This photograph shows a lavish red floral spray arranged in a long, tapering shape, set against a stark white background that makes every petal stand out. The centre of the composition is filled with deep red roses, their velvety petals curling inward and outward in classic, full blooms that speak of enduring devotion. Alongside them, abundant red carnations create a plush bed of colour, their many ruffled edges adding softness and depth. Among these, radiant red gerbera daisies appear at intervals, their flat, daisy-like faces and darker central eyes giving the piece a modern, uplifting accent. Threaded gently through the intense reds are touches of delicate white filler flowers, likely baby's breath or fine chrysanthemum sprays, breaking up the colour block and introducing a sense of air and space. The flowers are anchored and framed by layers of lush greenery: long, dark green palm leaves fan outward from the sides and lower edge, creating a purposeful, elongated silhouette, while shorter, broader leaves reminiscent of salal or ruscus fill in the interior, offering a sturdy, verdant base. Wisps of feathery fern fronds peek out here and there, providing detailed texture and a soft, natural outline. At the top-centre of the spray, a generous red satin ribbon has been tied into a full, multi-loop bow, its glossy streamers trailing down through the arrangement like flowing strands of memory. The overall feeling is one of warmth, dignity, and heartfelt intensity, an ideal choice for a funeral or remembrance service in Barnsbury, whether placed in a chapel off Caledonian Road or used as a central tribute near the quiet green of Thornhill Square Gardens.

SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Displayed on a pure white backdrop, this elongated casket spray appears as a river of blooms, moving from a broader, rounded top to a slimmer, tapering end with effortless grace. The colours are rich yet soothing: deep reds, soft pinks, creams, whites, and touches of lavender and blue that blend into a calm, harmonious whole. Dominating the eye are the red Oriental lilies, their large, star-shaped petals unfolding outward, each bloom marked by velvety depth and a hint of speckling that adds intrigue and character. Nestled amongst them are creamy white roses and pale blush-pink roses, some fully open with whorls of tightly layered petals, others in bud, representing both treasured memories and quiet, unspoken sentiments. Light pink carnations ruffle through the design, their many frilled petals softening the stronger shapes and filling the spaces so the tribute looks abundant and complete. Dainty white chrysanthemum sprays and petite daisy-like flowers peek from between the larger blooms, lending a fresh, almost garden-like innocence. Cool-toned thistle-style flowers in blue and silver stand proudly here and there, adding texture and a modern twist, while clusters of tiny lavender-blue filler flowers bring a wispy, cloud-like lightness. A base of dark, glossy foliage and more delicate, feathery greenery cradles the arrangement, extending beyond the flowers and framing them in a rich, natural green. The mood is both respectful and gently comforting, ideal for a funeral service or farewell gathering in Barnsbury, perhaps placed in a local chapel along the quiet streets around Barnsbury Road or near the greenery of nearby squares. It feels like a carefully considered piece that Barnsbury Flowers could craft for families wanting a tribute that honours a life with grace and beauty.
CARING THOUGHTS CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
This image shows a beautifully composed funeral spray laid out diagonally from top left to bottom right against a white background, its shape echoing a gentle, downward cascade. The arrangement is lush and full, uniting pastel pinks, vivid fuchsias, velvety purples and clean whites within a framework of layered greenery. Dominant among the blooms are large gerbera daisies, some in pale, powdery pink and others in rich, magenta hues, their open faces radiating quiet optimism. Tucked beside them are refined pink roses, their tightly curled petals giving a sense of classic elegance often favoured by families in Barnsbury marking a life well lived. Between these focal flowers, fluffy white blossoms-likely carnations or miniature chrysanthemums-soften the palette and create gentle highlights. Fine sprays of tiny white daisy-like flowers weave through the entire tribute, adding lightness and a hint of wildflower charm, reminiscent of informal gardens scattered around Barnsbury's residential streets. Bright red hypericum berries provide small, rounded accents, a vibrant contrast that deepens the visual interest. The foliage beneath and around the flowers is equally varied: broad, glossy leaves supply structure, bright green ferns introduce a featherlight texture, and rounded eucalyptus leaves in silvery-green tones offer a modern, calming note and a subtle, fresh scent. Long, tapering palm leaves extend from the lower right, drawing the eye along the length of the design and enhancing its sweeping movement. At the upper left, the gathered stems are left visible, hinting at the skilled hands that assembled the tribute. Overall, the spray conveys compassion, respect and solace, ideal for funeral and memorial services in Barnsbury.
