A traditional Christian cross made from fresh sympathy flowers is laid out on a bright white surface, photographed in such a way that every petal and ribbon fold is clearly visible. The entire cross is carpeted with small white spray chrysanthemums, each head delicately pressed against the next so that no gaps show through, creating a plush, uniform bed of soft white blooms. This thick floral covering gives the impression of warmth and quiet comfort, reminiscent of a gentle blanket. Highlighting the outline of the cross, a royal blue satin ribbon is gathered in soft ruffles along the edge, its rich colour and subtle shine framing the design with an air of composure and respect. At the central junction of the arms, a standout cluster of royal blue flowers provides focus and contrast: layered blue carnations, their petals slightly curled and textured, are complemented by slender spikes of blue delphinium or orchid-like florets, all nestled into a base of glossy dark leaves and graceful fern fronds. This central spray rises a little above the level of the white chrysanthemum base, introducing a sense of height and layered structure. On the vertical stem, the word "DAD" has been shaped by hand from the same royal blue ribbon, with each letter formed from folded loops that rest on the white flowers, creating a clear, heartfelt dedication. The bright, even lighting ensures the colours remain true and the textures pronounced, with only a soft halo of shadow beneath to indicate depth. Crafted by a florist serving New Southgate and the surrounding streets near Friern Barnet and Bounds Green, this floral cross feels ideal for a memorial service or graveside tribute, expressing faith, peace and a deeply personal farewell to a beloved father.

A carefully composed floral cross, created as a memorial tribute, is shown lying against a crisp white background that enhances its calm and reverent character. The cross shape is generously packed with white spray chrysanthemums, each small blossom tightly nestled so that the surface appears thick, plush and almost cloud-like. Around the outer edge, a royal blue satin ribbon is skillfully pleated and arranged into gentle ruffles, forming a consistent border that adds both colour and structure, while catching subtle glints of light. At the centre where the arms meet, a pronounced gathering of blue flowers forms the main focal point: velvety, ruffled blue carnations are combined with finer, more vertical florets, reminiscent of blue delphiniums or orchids, standing amid dark green leaves and light, feathery fern fronds. This central spray lifts slightly above the flat plane of white blooms, creating dimension and a sense of thoughtful design. Along the vertical arm of the cross, the word "DAD" is thoughtfully spelled in ribbon, each letter crafted from folded loops of the same royal blue satin and resting clearly upon the white chrysanthemum base. The even, bright lighting and the absence of distractions direct full attention to the interplay of white, blue and green, as well as the emotional weight carried by the personalised wording. Prepared in the quiet surroundings of a New Southgate flower shop, this arrangement would sit beautifully at a funeral service in a local church near Oakleigh Road or at a farewell in New Southgate Cemetery, offering a gentle, dignified expression of remembrance, gratitude and enduring love for a father.
