A traditional funeral pillow shaped with care: the whole rectangular base is densely covered in hundreds of small, immaculate white chrysanthemum blooms, each head placed to form a smooth, cloud-like surface that suggests rest and purity. The textural effect of the chrysanthemums is soft and uniform, like a woven textile of petals. Around the perimeter a pale lime-green satin ribbon has been pleated and set to create a subtle scalloped edge, its soft colour adding a delicate frame that complements the white. A composed accent sits at the upper left - two open white Oriental lilies with their elegant trumpets and soft yellow stamens, accompanied by a closed lily bud - and clustered among them are deep burgundy spray carnations whose richer tones provide a poignant counterpoint to the white. Lush green foliage - a mix of feathery fern fronds and broader glossy leaves - lifts the cluster and adds natural depth and movement. From that grouping a thin, arching loop of green foliage or decorative grass sweeps across the pillow toward the upper right, where it ends in a solitary deep red rosebud, modestly unfurling and resting on the chrysanthemum field as a symbol of devotion. The lilies lend a quiet fragrance that hangs briefly over the arrangement, enhancing its meditative mood. Suitable for memorial services and wakes, this arrangement evokes dignity, comfort and remembrance, and sits comfortably within the tradition of funeral floristry familiar to households around Blackwall and All Saints in the Poplar area.

A soft, rectangular pillow of flowers crafted for a funeral, seen against a clean white background and composed almost entirely of thousands of small, pure white chrysanthemums packed tightly to form a serene, cushion-like surface. The tiny chrysanthemum heads create a plush, clouded texture that reads as quiet comfort; if you imagine running a hand across it you would feel gentle resilience rather than coarseness. Around the edge a pleated band of pale lime-green satin ribbon has been carefully tucked and folded into a neat frill, its subtle sheen catching the light and giving the piece a refined, fabric-like finish. On the upper left a naturalistic cluster provides the emotional focus: two open white Oriental lilies with their soft, trumpet-shaped petals and pale yellow stamens, a closed lily bud, and a handful of deep burgundy spray carnations whose ruffled faces add dramatic, warm contrast. Behind and between those blooms, feathery fern fronds and broader dark green leaves lift and shape the grouping, lending depth and a living backdrop. From that cluster a delicate arch of green bear grass or salal traces a gentle curve across the chrysanthemum field, guiding the eye to the upper right where a single deep-red rosebud rests - its velvety petals only beginning to unfurl, a quiet emblem of enduring love and respect. There is a faint, calming scent of lilies over the clean, neutral scene. As a traditional sympathy cushion suitable for a funeral, memorial or wake, this arrangement carries a palette of white, soft green and rich red that speaks of peace, remembrance and heartfelt condolence in a restrained, elegant way - a comforting presence for friends and family in Poplar and the surrounding East London neighbourhoods.
