LETTER TRIBUTES
RED ROSE DAD TRIBUTE
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
Against a smooth, neutral grey backdrop, a carefully staged image showcases a classic "MOM" funeral tribute, composed entirely from fresh white chrysanthemums. The three large floral letters stand shoulder to shoulder, each one formed from hundreds of tiny blooms packed closely together so that no gaps of the base are visible, creating a soft, cushion-like texture that feels gentle and respectful. The left-hand M carries a small corsage-style spray at its upper left curve: a fully opened fuchsia-pink rose, framed by lighter pink rosebuds and feathery green fern fronds that trail slightly outward, bringing movement and life to the design. The central O is a ring of snowy petals, subtly touched at its lower edge by a single pale pink rose, a quiet nod to affection and gratitude. On the right, the second M echoes the first, with an identical cluster of pink roses and fern positioned high on its right side, giving the word a sense of balance and symmetry. Around the main tribute, the cropped sides of other chrysanthemum letters can be glimpsed, hinting at a wider range of custom arrangements, often chosen by families in St Mary Cray, Petts Wood, and nearby neighbourhoods to honour loved ones. Floating over the central portion is a clean white rectangular frame containing the words "3 LETTER" in simple block capitals and "Tribute" in a graceful script, clearly identifying this as a three-letter funeral flower design. The overall impression is of quiet dignity and heartfelt remembrance, a floral expression of love crafted with the steady hands of an experienced local florist.
3 LETTER TRIBUTE
£155.00
The image shows a large, three-dimensional "DAD" funeral tribute, the sort of bespoke piece often chosen by grieving families in St Mary Cray when they want something unmistakably personal for a father's farewell. Each letter is formed from a solid bed of white chrysanthemums or similar small, button-like flowers, placed so closely together that no gaps of foam or stem are visible. Their petals create a dense, velvety texture that softens the boldness of the lettering, echoing a sense of purity and quiet dignity. Framing this blanket of white blooms is a ruffled band of deep green ribbon, hugging the outline of every curve and corner, giving the letters clear definition and a hint of garden freshness reminiscent of local green spaces and riverside walks. A sturdy, dark frame links the letters from behind, designed so the tribute can stand upright at a chapel, church, or crematorium service.   

Subtle, thoughtfully placed sprays break the uniformity and bring a narrative of memory into the piece. At the top left of the first "D," a small cluster of white freesia, with their delicate, fluted petals and soft fragrance, sits among glossy foliage. From this point, two graceful green stems sweep diagonally across towards the central "A," drawing the eye into a focal spray. Nestled near the base of the "A" are two striking deep purple calla lilies, their sculptural, trumpet shapes emerging from a bed of white blooms and green leaves, adding depth and solemn colour. The final "D" mirrors the first with a slightly smaller grouping of white flowers and greenery on its upper right edge. Against the clean background, the tribute reads as a tender, enduring message of love and gratitude for a dad, suited to funerals, memorials, or wakes held around St Mary Cray.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
This image presents a refined visual of a four-letter floral tribute, the kind of bespoke funeral arrangement often chosen by families in St Mary Cray to honour someone dear. At first glance, the eye is drawn to a dark grey, semi-transparent square at the centre, bordered by a slim, crisp white frame that stands out softly against a light grey background. Across this central panel, in clear white lettering, the words "4 LETTER" sit neatly above the more flowing, script-style word "Tribute," echoing the sense of dignity and tenderness associated with a personalised farewell. Behind this overlay, partly obscured yet still distinctly recognisable, stretch four three-dimensional floral letters, crafted to spell out a name or meaningful word. Each letter is covered in a dense layer of pure white chrysanthemums, their tightly packed blooms giving a plush, textured finish that suggests softness and quiet peace. Tracing the sides of every letter, a narrow band of pale pink ribbon or fabric adds a subtle halo of colour, like the faint blush of dawn over the rooftops near St Mary Cray station. Set into the white flowers are clusters of rich, red roses, their velvety petals unfolding above sprigs of lush green foliage, perhaps ferns or ruscus, which introduce depth, contrast, and a sense of living greenery. The red roses serve as traditional emblems of love, devotion, and heartfelt remembrance, echoing the emotions felt at local churches and crematoria. The entire composition conveys the idea of custom letter tributes-names, initials, or significant words-carefully designed to accompany a final goodbye with beauty, respect, and personal meaning.
4 LETTER TRIBUTE
£200.00
A carefully crafted five-letter floral tribute stretches across a soft, light grey surface, evoking the quiet stillness of a chapel service in St Mary Cray. Each letter is shaped from a firm base and densely covered with pristine white chrysanthemums, their small petals overlapping to form a thick, cushiony layer that feels both gentle and substantial, like a comforting presence in the room. Bordering the edges of every letter is a rich band of deep purple satin ribbon, its smooth sheen catching the light and lending structure, contrast, and a sense of traditional mourning elegance. Nestled thoughtfully along the word are clusters of delicate pale pink and lilac spray roses, interwoven with airy green ferns and small leaves, which break the white surface with subtle touches of colour and organic movement, suggesting soft fragrance and the freshness of flowers arranged that morning by a local St Mary Cray florist. A central square overlay, slightly darker than the background and framed in white, covers the middle of the arrangement; its centred text reads "5 LETTER" in a clean, white sans-serif font, with "Tribute" flowing beneath in a graceful script, indicating that this design can be fully customised. The glimpses of the letters around the overlay suggest the name "JOHN A," illustrating how a cherished name or short word might appear when created for a funeral at a local church or crematorium near St Mary Cray, Ruxley, or along the Cray Valley. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity and heartfelt remembrance, offering families a personalised way to honour a loved one's life and story.

YELLOW ROSES DAD TRIBUTE
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
In this image, a striking memorial flower arrangement spells out "DAD" in three bold, free-standing letters, placed side by side against a clean white backdrop so the colours and textures become the whole focus. Each letter is outlined and backed with generous layers of glossy, dark green fern foliage, the fronds overlapping to create a soft, feathery frame that echoes the greenery you might see in gardens around St Mary Cray and along local pathways. Inside this leafy border, the florist has packed in a carefully balanced mix of blooms: broad, open white gerbera daisies and plump white chrysanthemums form a gentle, cloud-like base, symbolising peace and quiet reflection. Pockets of sunny yellow gerberas, tiny yellow spray roses, and miniature button chrysanthemums are woven through, offering hopeful glimmers of light in the midst of grief. Deeper jewel tones appear in the form of purple lisianthus, clusters of magenta or deep pink spray roses, and little sprays of lavender-hued flowers, each carefully placed to create rhythm and depth across the surface of the letters. Bright green button chrysanthemums and the fern fronds beneath add freshness, as if the tribute has just been arranged for same-day delivery to a local St Mary Cray chapel or graveside service. The three letters rest on discreet, dark green bars that hold them in perfect alignment, so the word "DAD" reads clearly from a distance. The overall mood is one of tenderness and gratitude, a thoughtful floral farewell for a much-loved father.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
The image presents a calm, contemporary layout, with a smooth grey background that feels like soft cloud cover on a quiet morning in St Mary Cray. At the centre, a darker grey square panel, edged with a slim, clean white line, anchors the design. Inside this square, bright white text stands out clearly: a large numeral "7" sits at the top, followed by the word "LETTER" in smaller, tidy uppercase, and then the word "Tribute" sweeps across the lower half in a graceful, handwritten-style script that adds warmth to the otherwise simple graphic. Peeking around the left and right edges of this central square, you can see sections of a stunning floral word tribute spelling "GRANDMA". Each individual letter is crafted from tightly clustered white chrysanthemums, their small, layered petals giving a soft, almost velvety appearance, as if the flowers have been freshly arranged in a cooler at a local St Mary Cray florist. Here and there, vibrant purple blooms-perhaps lisianthus or petite roses-are carefully nestled into the letters, along with sprigs of lush green foliage, providing gentle colour highlights without overwhelming the pure white base. The rounded G on the far left is the clearest, revealing the fullness of the spray, while the remaining letters recede slightly into the background, creating a sense of depth and perspective. Altogether, the composition communicates a dignified seven-letter funeral tribute created to honour a cherished grandmother, a floral arrangement that would feel at home on a hearse passing through the familiar streets near St Mary Cray station, offering comfort and remembrance to family and friends.
7 LETTER TRIBUTE
£330.00
PINK ROSES MUM TRIBUTE
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Set against a clean, uncluttered white background, a striking floral letter tribute carefully spells out "OUR MUM" in bold block capitals, the sort commonly chosen for heartfelt funerals and memorials across St Mary Cray and neighbouring Petts Wood. Each letter is generously filled with tight white chrysanthemum florets, their small petals overlapping to create a plush, cushion-like texture that looks soft to the touch and radiates quiet serenity. Framing these white panels, a continuous border of rich red flowers wraps around every contour, adding definition and a warm, embracing outline to the message. The contrast between the snow-white centres and the saturated red edging gives the tribute clarity from a distance, ensuring the words remain readable even when viewed across a chapel or crematorium aisle. Behind the flowers, a dark green supporting bar discreetly links the letters, hinting at the sturdy frame used in professional funeral work, yet remaining mostly hidden beneath the lush blooms. To heighten the emotion and depth, three separate groupings of deep red roses, combined with fresh green foliage, are placed at intervals along the tribute: one between the "O" and "U", another between the "U" and first "M", and a final spray resting towards the outer edge of the last "M". The roses' velvety petals and gentle fragrance suggest enduring love, gratitude, and family closeness. This "OUR MUM" arrangement feels both classic and intimate, the sort of bespoke design a family might order to honour a much-loved mother whose life was woven through everyday moments in St Mary Cray, from walks near the local parks to gatherings at home.
OUR MUM TRIBUTE
£290.00
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Centered on a bright white background, a lovingly crafted floral tribute spells out "MUM" in bold capital letters, the kind of piece often seen at intimate services in St Mary Cray or on the way to the crematorium at nearby Foots Cray. Each letter is formed from a sturdy dark green frame, with a matching ribbon running along the base, just visible beneath the flowers and lending a discreet outline. Every inch of the lettering is packed tightly with small white spray chrysanthemums, their domed petals pressed together like a soft quilt of blooms, creating a smooth, plush texture that feels both soothing and pure. The icy clarity of the white flowers is gently warmed by three thoughtfully placed accent clusters. On the first "M", a lush fuchsia garden rose, velvety and fully open, sits at the top left corner, surrounded by pale pink spray roses and rounded buds, all cradled in airy green fern foliage. The curve of the "U" is softened by another rose cluster, positioned at the bottom centre, giving the eye a quiet place to rest. Completing the composition, a matching spray of fuchsia and pink roses with feathery fern fronds is tucked into the upper right corner of the final "M", creating a diagonal line of colour that suggests an embrace. The piece feels serene, as if time has slowed around it, and you can almost imagine the gentle fragrance of fresh roses and leafy greens. This "MUM" tribute is a thoughtful way to honour a beloved mother, expressing love, remembrance, and respect with simple, classic funeral flowers.
PINK GARDEN MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
The image shows a serene "MUM" funeral tribute laid out horizontally, the three bold capital letters crafted with the precision and care you would expect from an experienced local florist in St Mary Cray. Each letter is completely covered in tightly set white spray chrysanthemums, their tiny daisy-like faces nestled so closely together that they form an even, cushiony blanket of petals. The white blooms catch the light softly, giving the arrangement a pure, gentle glow against the clean white background. Around the outside edge of the letters, and subtly visible between the flowers, run dark green structural details and foliage, indicating the firm frame and ribbon that support the design and keep it in perfect shape for a funeral or cremation service. To break the sea of white in the most tender way, three accents of soft colour are introduced through clusters of peach and blush pink roses. One cluster, with open roses and buds, rests at the top left of the first "M"; another nestles at the bottom centre of the "U"; the third crowns the top right of the final "M". Each grouping is interwoven with sprays of fern and glossy green leaves, adding a natural, garden-like feel reminiscent of walks through nearby parks and green spaces around Orpington and St Mary Cray. The combination of white chrysanthemums for purity and pastel roses for love and gratitude creates a calm, heartfelt expression of remembrance, ideal for honouring a much-loved mum at a local church, chapel of rest, or memorial gathering.

PURPLE AND WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE & WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Set against a crisp, white studio-style background, a striking "MUM" tribute stands out in bold, three-dimensional letters, each one carefully built from a dense carpet of small magenta and deep purple chrysanthemums. Their lime-green centres form tiny pinpoints of light across the surface, giving the tribute a lively, almost shimmering texture when imagined from the aisle of a St Mary Cray church. The side profiles of the letters are edged in a soft, pale pink ruffled ribbon, its gentle folds tracing every angle and curve and signalling the careful craftsmanship you would expect from an experienced local florist in the heart of St Mary Cray.   

The first "M" carries a lush accent on its top left corner: a little spray of bright pink roses at different stages of bloom, surrounded by feathery fern fronds and fresh foliage that spills lightly over the magenta base. The central "U" is adorned more softly at its lower curve with a cluster of blush and cream roses, creamy white filler flowers, and variegated greenery that echo the subtle tones of early morning light over nearby green spaces. On the second "M", a matching group of vivid pink roses and airy fern greens crowns the upper right edge, visually bookending the word and lending balance and symmetry.   

This thoughtful arrangement feels deeply personal, perfect for a funeral or remembrance service around St Mary Cray, perhaps travelling with the cortege from a family home to the crematorium. The strong colour of the chrysanthemums speaks of enduring love, while the pastel roses and ribbon detailing soften the overall mood, expressing gratitude, remembrance, and the quiet dignity of saying goodbye to Mum.

The name "KATE" is written entirely in flowers, each capital letter formed with the precision and care you might expect from an experienced St Mary Cray florist preparing a final farewell. The letters sit upright against a smooth white background, so the textures and colours of the design are easy to imagine: a solid bed of tightly clustered white chrysanthemums creates the body of every letter, giving them a plush, cushion-like surface that feels gentle and respectful. Around the outer edges, a narrow light pink satin ribbon runs continuously, softly ruffled, lending a delicate frame that adds just a hint of colour and grace without overwhelming the calm white base. Nestled into this snowy backdrop are touches of brighter, more vivid blooms. On the "K" and "T", lime-toned cymbidium orchids with red-freckled centres emerge from pockets of lush foliage, their tropical petals glossy and confident, a reminder of life and individuality. The "A" and the "E" are each adorned with a single red anthurium, heart-shaped and waxy, their deep crimson almost glowing against the white. Fern fronds, slim blades of greenery, and looping green tendrils thread their way across the letters, joining them visually like a gentle vine climbing a garden wall along the streets near St Mary Cray's high street. The overall effect is elegant yet deeply personal, the kind of customised funeral tribute that could rest beside a coffin during a service, or be delivered to a local crematorium, quietly expressing love, remembrance, and the unique story behind the name it spells.

WHITE PAPA TRIBUTE
£200.00
The word "GRANDPA" appears here as a graceful, freestanding floral tribute, the kind a family in St Mary Cray might choose to place beside the coffin or at the front of a chapel to say a final, heartfelt farewell. Each of the seven block capitals is completely enrobed in tightly clustered white chrysanthemums, their small, daisy-like faces turned upward, forming a smooth yet gently textured surface. The white blooms evoke purity and peace, while the subtle variations in petal size and shape give the letters an almost quilted softness, like a comforting blanket of flowers.   

Tracing the outer edge of every letter is a delicate border of pale lavender and lilac flowers, creating a faint purple glow around the word. This muted colour line defines the shapes beautifully, adding depth and contrast without overwhelming the calm, all-white centre. Within the "G", the first "A", the "D", and the final "A", the florist has nestled graceful clusters of peach roses, from open blooms to shy buds, arranged among slender white lily buds and glossy green foliage. The roses' warm apricot petals offer a tender counterpoint to the cool whites and purples, suggesting affection and treasured memories.   

A slim, dark horizontal bar, likely a metal frame, discreetly supports the letters along their lower edge, making the tribute suitable for display at a graveside or memorial venue around St Mary Cray and the wider Orpington area. Set against a stark white background, the arrangement feels calm and composed, a quiet expression of love, remembrance, and respect for a grandfather who meant the world to his family.

BA TRIBUTE
BA PERSONALISED TRIBUTE
£100.00
A custom floral tribute spelling out "GRANDMA" in bold capital letters appears against a crisp white backdrop, crafted with the kind of care you might expect from a long-established St Mary Cray flower shop. Each individual letter is built on a dark green frame and then completely covered in tightly clustered white cushion chrysanthemums, their small, rounded petals forming a smooth, quilted surface that looks soft to the touch. The white blooms are edged with a delicate trim of pale lavender or soft purple ribbon, peeking out just beneath the petals and giving the lettering a gentle outline that adds depth and a touch of serenity. The tribute is further enriched with thoughtfully placed scarlet details: at the curve of the "G", a lush group of deep red roses sits alongside a striking red-and-cream variegated calla lily, drawing the eye to the beginning of the word. The first "A" carries a single, polished, heart-shaped red anthurium at its base, its waxy surface and prominent spadix providing a striking contrast in texture. At the centre, the "M" is decorated with another compact cluster of red roses and a second red anthurium, while the final "A" repeats the motif with one last anthurium bloom, creating a visual rhythm from one end of the tribute to the other. The design feels peaceful yet full of emotion, with the white symbolising remembrance and the red flowers hinting at the warmth of family love. Ideal for a funeral or memorial service in St Mary Cray, nearby Orpington, or along the High Street, this GRANDMA letter tribute offers a deeply personal way to say goodbye.
