Funeral Flowers
Set against a clean white backdrop, this large floral heart conveys a quiet strength and tenderness, echoing the calm found along the Thames paths near Poplar on a still morning. The heart itself is generously sized and meticulously covered with white spray chrysanthemums, each small flower head tightly packed to form a dense, cushion-like surface. The blossoms blend into one another, creating a continuous field of soft, milky white that suggests innocence, peace, and the gentle embrace of memory. Encasing this expanse of white is a slim, emerald green satin ribbon, neatly folded and secured around the outline of the heart so that just a delicate band of green frames the design. This subtle border provides a refined contrast and clearly defines the heart's rounded curves. Across the upper left arc of the heart, a striking arrangement of deep magenta calla lilies becomes the focal point. At the top of the spray, a few lilies are fully open, their sculpted, trumpet-like spathes encircling dark spadices, rich in colour and depth. As the line of flowers drifts diagonally downwards, more slender, partially opened calla blooms follow, their gentle taper lending movement and flow. Among these dramatic blooms sit little clusters of white freesia or similar dainty flowers, their lighter texture and imagined fragrance softening the composition. Surrounding them, feathery fern fronds and glossy green leaves add a natural, garden-like feel. The tribute, calm and exquisitely balanced, would be a meaningful choice for a funeral or memorial service in Poplar, offering a visual message of sympathy, enduring love, and dignity during a time of farewell.
ALWAYS REMEMBERED HEART
£95.00
A meticulously crafted funeral arrangement in a neat rectangular shape reproduces the Union Jack using only fresh, tightly packed flowers, photographed on a clean white backdrop that removes all distraction from the intricate design. The central vertical and horizontal bars of St George's Cross are created from dense red blooms, likely chrysanthemums or similar sturdy flowers, aligned with meticulous care to form wide, unbroken bands of colour. Diagonal red stripes, representing St Patrick's Cross, run from each corner towards the middle, their slimmer lines standing out thanks to narrow white floral borders. These white outlines continue into the broader diagonal arms of St Andrew's Cross, constructed from masses of crisp white petals that feel both gentle and dignified. Surrounding and separating these elements are deep blue clusters of small florets, providing a rich background and finishing the arrangement with a subtle blue border that frames the whole flag. Up close, the design reveals layers of texture: softly rounded petals, slight variations in shade, and the sense of every stem placed thoughtfully by hand. From a distance, the effect is of a perfectly formed Union Jack, softened only by the natural curves of the flowers. This tribute would be especially fitting for services in Poplar, perhaps carried into a ceremony near All Saints Church, placed in a chapel by the docks, or delivered to families living around Limehouse and Blackwall. It offers a measured blend of patriotism, remembrance, and the quiet comfort that a well-made floral memorial can bring.
PEACEFUL DREAMS CUSHION
£150.00
Against a clean white backdrop, a sumptuous floral pillow appears almost to float, its cushion-like rectangular shape with softly rounded corners conveying rest and solace. This tribute is completely covered in flowers, so densely arranged that no gaps in the design are visible, creating a soft, quilted effect of petals. The colour palette blends comforting pinks, pale yellows, and rich purples, a gentle harmony often chosen by families in Poplar seeking a graceful sympathy tribute. Large roses are the focal point throughout: some blooms are a deep, saturated fuchsia, others a tender pastel pink, and others a creamy yellow, with many flowers fully open so that their petals curl outward in intricate, rose-like rosettes. Nestled among them are royal-purple lisianthus, their ruffled, velvety petals adding depth and a slightly more dramatic note without overpowering the calmer tones. Delicate blush pink spray roses and miniature buds speckle the design, while clusters of tiny lavender-coloured filler flowers, suggestive of statice or limonium, weave through the arrangement to add fine detail and a lightly misted appearance. Supporting this floral tapestry, lush green foliage combines the rounded discs of silvery eucalyptus with slender, darker, fern-shaped leaves, giving structure and gentle movement to the edges. Soft light from above highlights the varied textures-satiny rose petals, velvety lisianthus, and matte greenery-and casts a faint shadow beneath, underscoring the cushion's thickness. The result is a deeply expressive floral pillow, perfect for honouring a loved one at a Poplar chapel of rest, a crematorium service, or a farewell near Canary Wharf, where words may be hard to find but flowers can offer a quiet, heartfelt goodbye.
HEARTFELT SORROW CUSHION
£95.00
This image shows a deeply personal floral tribute spelling "DAD" in bold, standing letters, echoing the kind of arrangement often chosen by families across Poplar for a final farewell. The three letters are built on a hidden frame and are densely packed with white chrysanthemums or similar button flowers, placed so closely together that they create a thick, cushion-like texture that feels comforting and respectful. Their bright white petals catch the light softly, giving each letter a gentle glow. Around the outside of each letter, an emerald green ribbon is gathered into a ruffled edge, forming a clean, decorative border that crisply defines the shapes and adds a fresh, natural accent. Slender dark supports can be glimpsed behind, indicating that the tribute is designed to stand upright, perhaps along the front of a hearse or at the head of a chapel aisle. On the top left curve of the first "D", there is a small spray of white freesia and rich green foliage, the open flowers and buds introducing a slightly wilder, garden feel that contrasts with the uniform chrysanthemums. From this accent, two long green stems arc diagonally towards the "A", creating a sense of movement across the design. Nestled around the lower right of the "A", these stems broaden into an asymmetrical focal cluster featuring two deep purple calla lilies, their elegant, trumpet-shaped blooms cupping inward, surrounded by more white freesia and glossy leaves. The final "D" mirrors the first with a smaller spray of white freesia and foliage on its upper right edge, tying the whole tribute together. Overall, the piece conveys quiet dignity and enduring love, a fitting floral memorial for a father from the Poplar community.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
Presented on a crisp white field, this circular sympathy wreath is composed of a dense, uninterrupted ring of snowy white chrysanthemums, each bloom layered closely to create a plush, pillow-like texture that suggests peace and continuity. The chrysanthemums' many ruffled petals overlap so the eye travels smoothly around the form, an emblem of ongoing remembrance. From the upper-left edge a sculpted spray of Eustoma (Lisianthus) introduces a composed contrast: saturated violet blossoms sit beside softer lavender buds and slender stems, their ruffled edges and soft sheen offering a calming, velvety counterpoint to the matte white base. Interwoven foliage - glossy broad leaves, pale variegated shoots and feathery fern fronds - frames the purple cluster and brings a cooling, organic depth to the arrangement. Along both inner and outer rims, a fine, crinkled purple mesh or lace detail discreetly peeks through beneath the chrysanthemums, grounding the palette and echoing the lisianthus tones. A faint, diffused shadow beneath the wreath gives it weight and form against the white background. The overall composition is restrained yet tender, the textures and colours chosen to offer comfort: pure white for peace, purple for dignity and memory. As a florist's tribute, it reads as thoughtful workmanship - a quiet, heartfelt choice for a funeral service, memorial or a piece sent to a family in Poplar or nearby Canary Wharf to mark a life with respect and care.
HONORING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
Presented with calm dignity on a plain white field, this circular sympathy wreath is meticulously assembled from hundreds of pristine white chrysanthemums, each small head layered with soft, ruffled petals to form a dense, cloud-like band. The wreath maintains a flawless, tranquil roundness with an open centre that suggests continuity and an unbroken memory. A narrow trace of deep purple mesh or ribbon subtly emerges between blooms along both inner and outer rims, lending a refined outline to the otherwise pure white surface. Anchoring the upper-left curve is an elegant cluster of three creamy yellow roses, their petals unfolding in silky spirals and offering a gentle warmth against the cool whites. Sprigs of white gypsophila weave around the roses, creating a misty texture, while delicate lavender-purple limonium or statice provides restrained, bittersweet colour notes. Mixed greenery - from broad, smooth leaves to delicate ferny fronds - frames the spray and gives the arrangement depth and a living freshness. The scent is faint and clean: the cool, green fragrance of foliage with a soft floral hint from the roses; the tactile contrasts move from the silky rose petals to the fine papery statice and the plush chrysanthemum heads. Crafted to convey solace and respect, this wreath is the kind of memorial piece we prepare at Poplar Florist for services across Poplar, Canary Wharf and the surrounding docks - available for careful local delivery and arranged to lie flat for memorial displays, wakes or graveside placement.
IN MY PRAYERS WREATH
£75.00
In this image, a beautifully balanced heart-shaped floral tribute is presented against a simple white backdrop so that the flowers themselves become the sole focus. The entire heart is filled with hundreds of small white chrysanthemum heads, each one placed tightly against the next, forming an even, plush surface that feels soft and cloud-like. Their cool white petals evoke purity, tranquillity, and the stillness of reflection, much like the calm stretches of canal around Poplar in early morning light. Cutting across the heart from the upper left towards the centre-right is a diagonal line of five red roses, the only strong splash of colour in the composition. Three roses are grouped at the top left curve in a rich crimson cluster, their velvety petals gracefully layered. They are surrounded by an assortment of lush dark green foliage, shiny rose leaves, and light, feathery greenery that introduces texture and depth. Tiny white filler flowers, likely freesias or a similar bloom, peep through the greenery, bringing an airy, delicate touch. Below and to the right, two single red roses are positioned with care, each one slightly separated yet visually linked to the main spray. The connection is created by slim, arching strands of bright green ornamental grass that sweep over the chrysanthemum base in gentle curves. A dark green satin ribbon wraps neatly around the outer edge of the heart, its smooth surface reflecting a soft sheen and giving the tribute a polished finish. The overall design feels dignified and heartfelt, a fitting expression of sympathy and lasting love for a funeral or memorial service in Poplar and the surrounding East London area.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES HEART
£95.00
A meticulously arranged bouquet of deep blue and creamy white roses is photographed against a clean white background, capturing the kind of dignified sympathy flowers often sent across Poplar and the nearby Docklands. The blooms are gathered tightly into a rounded, almost sphere-like form, creating a sense of completeness and unity. About half of the roses are a rich, velvety blue, their layered petals forming intricate spirals that deepen into shadowy indigo at the centre and soften into lighter sapphire near the outer edges. The other half are creamy ivory, some with a faint warmth that leans towards soft vanilla, their petals silky and gently curved, opening in stages that convey tenderness and quiet grace. Wedged delicately between the larger heads are clusters of dainty white Gypsophila, their tiny star-like flowers forming airy clouds that lighten the visual weight of the roses and add a whisper-fine texture. Around the perimeter, dark green leaves emerge, glossy and smooth, giving structure to the design and echoing the calm greenery found in pockets of nearby Bartlett Park. The stems of the bouquet are visible at the bottom, neatly bundled and hand-tied, suggesting a freshly finished piece awaiting delivery to a Poplar address, perhaps as a thoughtful condolence gift after a funeral. Bright yet gentle lighting washes over the arrangement, highlighting every subtle curve, crease, and colour variation without creating harsh contrast, so the effect remains soothing. The overall impression is of a quietly powerful tribute-modern yet timeless-ideal for expressing sympathy, remembrance, and enduring support in difficult times.
REMEMBRANCE
£80.00
An abundant, rounded bouquet of fresh lilies and roses is photographed on a white background, showcasing a luxurious mix of colours and textures that feels right at home in Poplar's blend of old and new. At the forefront, pristine white lilies flare open in broad trumpets, their petals smooth and slightly reflective, with gentle green undertones and neat stamens that suggest a subtle, fragrant presence. Interspersed among these lilies, clusters of soft blush pink roses and creamy ivory roses unfold in various stages of bloom; some are tight and compact, others spill open in layered, velvety spirals that invite the eye inward. Providing dramatic contrast, rich fuchsia and magenta Oriental lilies, reminiscent of classic Stargazer blooms, stand out with their deeply coloured, speckled petals and vivid golden anthers dusted with pollen. These bolder tones are tempered by a veil of delicate white baby's breath (Gypsophila), whose tiny blossoms gather in airy clouds between the larger flowers, softening edges and adding an almost ethereal lightness. Threaded discreetly through the composition, slender green leaves and stems offer depth and a touch of movement, framing the central blooms without distracting from them. The lighting is bright and even, flattening harsh shadows and highlighting the bouquet's fresh, just-arranged quality, as if it has been prepared for a same-day delivery from Poplar to a celebration in Canary Wharf or a riverside apartment near the Thames. Emotionally, the bouquet feels joyful and tender, ideal for romantic gestures, milestone birthdays, or heartfelt congratulations shared within the local East London community.
CHERISHED MOMENTS POSY
£90.00
A large, heartfelt memorial spelling out MUM, each letter lovingly formed from hundreds of tight, white spray chrysanthemums to create a plush, cloud-like surface that reads as purity and peace. The image is set against a spotless white background so the pristine petals and subtle shadows are fully visible; morning-like light softens the edges and highlights the chrysanthemums' fine texture. Three small pastel clusters punctuate the composition: the upper left arm of the first M carries a grouping of lavender roses and a pale pink rosebud framed by fresh green foliage and delicate fern fronds; the U's inward curve holds a matching cluster of lilac blooms and a single pink bud; and the upper right arm of the final M wears the third accent bouquet, mirroring the first to bring balance and continuity. Beneath the flowers a dark green support - a ribbon-wrapped or mossed structural frame - peeks out along the base of each letter, offering discreet support and a deep contrast to the white surface. The rose-scented accents and the gentle herbaceous green notes create a calm, comforting atmosphere. As a local florist rooted in Poplar, Poplar Florist often prepares this design for services around Canary Wharf, Blackwall, or the chapels near East India Dock Road; it works quietly and respectfully at funerals, wakes, and graveside dedications. Its combination of crisp white and soft pastels reads as both personal and classic, a dignified tribute for a cherished mother.
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Graceful heart-shaped sympathy tribute, ideal for funerals and memorials around Poplar, shown here on a clean white background that emphasises its form and texture. The heart is completely filled with tight clusters of white chrysanthemums, each bloom close to the next so that the flowers merge into a single, textured surface. Their pristine white petals suggest purity and gentle remembrance, bringing to mind the stillness of early mornings near Chrisp Street Market before the day unfolds. Around the edge of the heart runs a rich emerald green satin ribbon, neatly pleated into a continuous, ruffled border. The ribbon's sheen adds a soft glimmer, while the strong, defined edge it creates gives the tribute a traditional, structured appearance that feels appropriate for solemn occasions. At the upper left section of the heart, a focal cluster provides contrast and emotional depth. Two fully open white roses sit at the centre, their velvety petals spiralling outward, expressing affection and enduring love. They are surrounded by smaller white flowers-likely freesias or similar delicate blooms-adding layers of fine detail and a touch of natural movement. Lush greenery in varied shapes and textures frames the roses: broad, glossy leaves offer stability, while feathery fronds arch gracefully over the chrysanthemum base, softening the line between the focal cluster and the rest of the heart. The composition feels balanced and serene, with no harsh angles or colours. This floral heart is designed as a meaningful funeral tribute, suitable for delivery to local churches, crematoria, or family homes around Poplar, helping relatives and friends express sympathy and honour a cherished life with quiet dignity.
ETERNITY HEART
£95.00
A tender memorial arrangement in the shape of the word "GRANDMA" fills this scene, the letters bold in structure yet gentle in feeling. Each capital letter is densely covered in fresh white chrysanthemums, arranged so closely that no foliage or gaps show through, resulting in a smooth, padded surface almost like a soft quilt. The chrysanthemums' petals overlap and curl slightly at the edges, catching the light and giving a subtle, velvety sheen. Framing each letter is a delicate edging of lilac ribbon, its pastel tone adding a dignified wash of colour that enhances the softness of the white rather than competing with it. At the base of the first "G," one of the middle "A"s, and the last "A," small cluster arrangements bring thoughtful accents: bright pink gerbera daisies, dainty pink roses, and sprigs of fresh, deep green foliage. These mini bouquets create rhythmic intervals of colour that guide the eye smoothly along the tribute, giving it a gentle sense of movement. The lighting appears controlled and even, highlighting the pristine quality of the blooms and the neat craftsmanship of the lettering. This tribute feels like something families in Poplar might choose to honour a grandmother who was central to their lives, whether they lived near Chrisp Street Market or along the quieter residential roads. Carefully crafted, it carries a sense of respect, warmth, and quiet celebration of a life that brought comfort and love to generations.
HONORED GRANDMA TRIBUTE
£330.00
IN LOVING MEMORY WREATH
IN LOVING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
The image presents a striking floral "MUM" tribute, the three capital letters standing out clearly against a plain white background, as if floating on a field of light. Every surface of the letters is densely filled with small chrysanthemums in deep mauve, magenta, and purple tones, their petals layered so closely that they form a continuous cushion of colour. Scattered throughout, the tiny jade-green centres of the flowers introduce a lively contrast, catching the eye and preventing the design from feeling too heavy. Around the edges, a softly frilled ribbon in light baby pink neatly trims each letter, its gentle waves adding movement and a sense of care. On the first "M", the upper left curve is crowned with a compact spray of bright pink roses, open and full, set among fresh fern fronds and small leaves, reminiscent of a garden posy picked in nearby Poplar Park. The central "U" is embellished at its base with an elegant grouping of pale pink and cream roses, white filler blooms, and varied greenery, forming a quiet, contemplative accent that echoes the letter's bow-like shape. On the second "M", the top right corner carries a matching cluster of deep pink roses and fern, echoing the first and bringing a sense of harmony. This kind of tribute, often prepared for funerals and memorials around Poplar, Bow, and the Docklands, speaks of deep affection, dignity, and the lasting bond between a mother and her family.
LOVING MUM TRIBUTE
£160.00
This rectangular floral pillow, crafted for moments of remembrance, presents a dense quilt of immaculate white chrysanthemum heads that together form a plush, serene surface reminiscent of a sleeping cushion. The tiny chrysanthemum blooms are closely packed to create a seamless field of ivory, their layered textures soft to the eye and comforting to the imagination. Encircling the cushion is a light green ribbon trim, expertly pleated into a scalloped border that provides a fresh contrast and neatly defines the memorial's silhouette. Anchoring the composition in the upper-left corner is a tasteful cluster of accent flowers: white lisianthus layered with deep purple lisianthus and a few freesia-like buds, the purple notes offering a quiet dignity against the white backdrop. Fern fronds and dark glossy leaves weave through the spray, and a broad, darker leaf wrap secures the stems and gives the cluster a composed, refined finish. Delicate studio lighting sets a soft shadow beneath the pillow, emphasizing its slightly raised, puffy profile and the careful workmanship of the arrangement. As prepared by Poplar Florist for families around Poplar and Canary Wharf, this piece is intended as a sympathetic graveside tribute or a calming focal arrangement at a memorial service, sending a simple message of peace and remembrance. The scent is faintly green and clean - a gentle, unobtrusive perfume that complements the visual calm - while the overall mood is one of tender respect and quiet consolation.
PEACEFUL THOUGHTS CUSHION
£135.00
An elegant circular wreath composed of thousands of small white chrysanthemums creates a soft, enveloping texture that conveys purity and calm. The individual florets are packed so closely they form a cushiony surface, while a delicate swathe of purple netting or lace is just visible beneath the blooms, tracing the inner curve and adding a dignified, muted colour note. The photograph is lit in gentle daylight on a clean white background, which allows the subtle tonal shifts and fine floral details to read clearly. 

Anchoring the wreath on the upper-left is a carefully placed cluster whose focal point is a single cream or pale yellow rose, its petals unfolding with an understated, velvety glow. Around the rose a rich assortment of greenery - variegated leaves with paler edges, soft fern fronds and glossy foliage - creates depth and tactile contrast. Sprigs of small lavender-purple statice are woven through the greens; their papery texture and cool hue provide a calming counterpoint to the warm cream rose. 

To the right, two calla lilies traverse the design from about two o'clock to five o'clock, their elegant curves and sculptural forms imparting movement. The callas display a beautiful gradient from dark purple at the tips to a gentle peach-pink or blush toward their bases, with long bright green stems arcing along the lower-right section. A single longer green stem carried from the left cluster crosses the lower wreath and is secured near the callas, visually linking the two focal areas. 

Made with the thoughtful hand of a local florist and offered by Poplar Florist for sympathy and memorial services, this arrangement reads as a respectful expression of remembrance for families across Poplar, East India and the surrounding Docklands.
PEACEFUL WREATH
£75.00
BRO TRIBUTE
PERSONALISED BRO TRIBUTE
£165.00
A striking floral Celtic cross, photographed head-on against a pure white studio backdrop, fills the image with its symbolic beauty and careful craftsmanship. The cross is fully covered with tightly packed white chrysanthemum heads, each small bloom angled so that together they form a smooth, padded surface which gently curves along the arms and central shaft. This pristine white layer radiates a sense of calm and serenity, as if inviting quiet contemplation during a time of farewell. Intertwined with the white chrysanthemums, clusters of lime green button chrysanthemums trace the classic Celtic halo and interlaced motifs, giving definition and structure to the design. Their bright, fresh green colour and rounded shape bring to mind the pockets of green found around Poplar, from local churchyards to the trees lining the Regent's Canal, hinting at renewal and hope. On the lower stretch of the vertical arm, three thoughtfully placed groupings of deep magenta and purple carnations introduce a powerful emotional note. Their lush, frilled petals create textured bursts of colour that seem to float on the white surface, suggesting cherished memories and enduring love. Trailing among these purple flowers, slender tendrils of dark green foliage and delicate, curling stems gently cascade downwards, softening the geometric structure of the cross and adding an organic, almost poetic movement. The clean, even lighting captures every detail, from the subtle shadow between the blooms to the gloss on each petal. This floral Celtic cross would be a fitting tribute at a funeral or memorial in Poplar, offering a meaningful focal point beside the coffin or at the front of a service, especially where faith, Celtic roots, or a love of nature and the East London landscape hold special significance.
WHITE CELTIC CROSS TRIBUTE
£170.00
This image shows a beautifully detailed floral cross resting on a bright white background, the arrangement carefully designed as a heartfelt tribute for a funeral or memorial in the Poplar area. The cross itself is instantly recognisable, yet softened and enriched by layers of fresh blooms. Along the outer edge, a dense border of white spray chrysanthemums draws a clean, defined outline, their small daisy-like heads pressed together to create a cushion of pure white. Just inside this frame, a narrow band of folded light green ribbon or foliage can be seen, wrapping neatly around the perimeter and adding a gentle, verdant contrast that suggests new life. Within these borders, the heart of the cross is alive with colour. Large roses in vivid fuchsia pink and creamy pale yellow are thoughtfully spaced along the vertical and horizontal arms, each rose fully open and displaying its spiralling petals in generous detail. Between these roses, bright lime-green button chrysanthemums offer patches of rounded, textured interest, their zesty tones giving the design a modern lift. Winding through the spaces are smaller purple and violet blossoms, likely lisianthus or statice, whose deeper hues bring depth and balance, much like quiet words of comfort offered at a service near All Saints, Poplar or a chapel overlooking the docks. The cross is slightly tilted from top left to bottom right, adding movement and a sense of presence, as if it is ready to be placed beside a coffin or at a graveside. Even, diffused lighting reveals the natural sheen of each petal and the crisp structure of the design, capturing a floral cross that honours faith, memory, and the enduring love of family and friends.
PRECIOUS MEMORY CROSS
£95.00
This rectangular floral pillow is a study in serene contrasts: a broad, plush carpet of small white chrysanthemums creates a uniform, cloud-like texture across the entire surface, conveying purity and calm in every tightly placed bloom. The scent is restrained and soothing - a whisper of floral honey that accompanies the soft visual effect. On the top-left corner a vivid cluster becomes the arrangement's emotional center: several deep magenta or fuchsia roses open in lush rosettes, their petals catching the light with a subtle velvety sheen. Interspersed with those richer tones are tiny white freesias or buds, their delicate shapes and faint fragrance lifting the intensity of the roses and introducing a lyrical contrast. Surrounding and supporting the accent are varied greens - slender fern fronds, glossy leaves and fine foliage - arranged by hand to frame the flowers and add depth. A narrow, pleated ribbon of pale green satin trims the perimeter, its gentle sheen visible beneath the chrysanthemum edge and offering a ceremonial finish. The arrangement sits against a crisp white backdrop, photographed in soft daylight that reveals the careful craftsmanship and three-dimensional form without dramatic shadows. As a sympathy tribute this cushion of blooms speaks of restful sleep and fond memories; it's the kind of piece a local florist might prepare for a service held near East India Dock Road or at one of the quiet chapels tucked close to Chrisp Street Market, conveying solace with understated dignity.
DEEPLY CHERISHED CUSHION
£135.00
Set diagonally against a clean white backdrop, this funeral spray presents a serene composition of white lilies, lisianthus, and lush greenery, designed to accompany quiet goodbyes in Poplar and along the surrounding E14 streets. At the top, where the stems are gathered, white oriental lilies command attention: several blooms are fully open, their broad petals curving outwards with a gentle sheen, revealing soft stamens at the centre, while others remain in elongated buds, introducing height and a sense of transition. Around these central lilies, lisianthus blossoms offer a more delicate contrast, their ruffled petals mainly white but edged in fine strokes of lavender or pale mauve, like the sky over Canary Wharf just before dusk. Tight lisianthus buds appear here and there, sprinkled among the open flowers, lending an organic, natural feel. Enveloping the flowers is an arrangement of varied greenery. Broad, deep green leaves give weight and structure, some lying flat to create a calming backdrop, others folded and rolled with precision to form contemporary, ribbon-like folds. From the lower half of the spray, slender, palm-style fronds and linear foliage extend in sweeping lines, drawing the eye along the length of the design and enhancing its elegant, tapering shape. The overall impression is cool, composed, and quietly comforting, ideal for resting on a casket, beside a framed photograph, or at the front of a small gathering space in Poplar. This floral tribute embodies respectful remembrance, offering a gentle expression of sympathy and support to families navigating loss in the local community.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
This carefully composed sympathy spray is set against a clean white background, allowing its elongated teardrop silhouette to be fully appreciated. The arrangement begins with its bound stems at the top left and flows diagonally to the bottom right, where greenery and blooms taper softly into a gentle point. At the core, striking Stargazer lilies capture attention, their petals a vivid fuchsia-pink brightened by white edges and dusted with dark burgundy speckles. Some blooms open wide to reveal their intricate centres, while others remain closed in smooth, tapered buds tinged with green and soft pink. Surrounding the lilies, bold magenta gerbera daisies contribute an uplifting pop of colour, hinting at fond memories and cherished days. Clusters of white roses, in both bud and half-open stages, create a calm, classic contrast, and fluffy white carnations fill the spaces between with their ruffled softness. Fine sprays of tiny white daisy-like filler flowers weave throughout, adding lightness and subtle movement. The entire spray is supported by abundant greenery: broad, deep-green leaves form a sturdy platform, delicate ferns introduce feathery edges, and long, slender leaves arc gracefully outward, emphasising the diagonal flow. The overall impression is one of quiet elegance, making this design well suited for a funeral or memorial service in Poplar, whether delivered to a home near Chrisp Street Market or to a chapel by the river. The interplay of intense pinks, tranquil whites, and lush greens creates a floral tribute that feels personal and sincere, expressing sympathy, admiration, and enduring love.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
Set against a spotless white background, this circular sympathy wreath appears calm and luminous, its open centre and ring of flowers inviting a moment of reflection, much like a quiet pause along the riverside paths near Poplar and the Docklands. The wreath is densely packed with blooms in white, soft rose-pink, and deep magenta tones. Regal white lilies form the backbone of the design, their wide, velvety petals arranged in star-like formations around the circle. Each lily reveals a hint of green in its centre and elegant, elongated stamens brushed with gold, creating a focal point that feels both pure and serene. Among these, rich magenta and fuchsia lilies introduce deeper colour and emotional intensity; their petals are slightly speckled and gracefully curved backward, adding movement and drama without disturbing the sense of dignity. Scattered throughout are white gerbera daisies, their neat, radiating petals and dark centres contributing a fresh, structured texture that brightens the composition, reminiscent of morning light over nearby Bartlett Park. Soft pink roses and creamy white roses are dotted between the larger flowers, some tightly furled and others opening fully, suggesting tenderness, affection, and the unfolding of a life's story. Smaller white blooms-likely dainty carnations or spray chrysanthemums-fill the spaces, softening the transitions and giving the wreath a plush, continuous feel. Lush green foliage frames the entire ring, adding depth, contrast, and a natural, grounded quality. The overall effect is of a lovingly handcrafted funeral wreath, the kind a local Poplar florist would prepare with care and respect, to be delivered to a family in mourning as a gentle expression of condolence and remembrance.
LOVING MEMORY WREATH
£75.00
A thoughtfully designed floral tribute spells out "SON" in bold, three-dimensional letters, presented against a plain white background that gives the piece a calm, uncluttered presence. The letters are expertly built from a dense mass of white chrysanthemum blooms, each small flower pressed closely to its neighbour to create a smooth, pillowy texture that looks soft to the touch and suggests purity, calm, and remembrance. Beneath and around the edge of the flowers, a vivid red satin ribbon is folded and pleated into scalloped edging, crisply defining the contours of the S, O, and N and introducing a powerful contrast between the clean white petals and the rich red border. Striking red anthuriums are used to create three focal points along the tribute. On the upper left of the "S", a generous cluster of anthuriums, accompanied by lush dark green foliage and light, arching fern fronds, gives the arrangement a confident starting point. At the lower right of the "O", a single anthurium is tucked among the chrysanthemums like a quiet, intimate gesture of love. Towards the top right of the "N", a more abundant grouping of several anthuriums and broad, polished leaves completes the composition, providing visual weight and balance at the end of the word. Fine green stems or leaves are draped lightly across the letters, linking each red focal area and adding a natural, flowing line across the design. The tribute has a serene, respectful character, the sort of personalised funeral arrangement families in Poplar and around Canary Wharf might ask Poplar Florist to deliver to a local church, crematorium, or graveside to remember and honour a cherished son.
FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS SON TRIBUTE
£155.00
A beautifully balanced sympathy wreath is shown in close detail against a bright, uncluttered white background, its circular shape nearly filling the frame. The florist has built the ring on a foundation of thickly layered Baby's Breath, turning hundreds of slender stems into a continuous veil of tiny white flowers. This Gypsophila gives the arrangement a soft, cloud-like appearance, every little bloom catching the light and creating a gentle, shimmering texture. Resting within this feathery halo are clusters of Lisianthus, whose larger, ruffled petals provide contrast and focus. The Lisianthus blossoms are mostly white at the base, then gradually tinged and edged with lilac, lavender, and violet tones that deepen along the outer frills of the petals, like ink bleeding into paper. Some flowers are fully open, showcasing subtle shadows at their centers, while others are in various stages of opening, or still enclosed in pale green buds with creamy tips. The empty circular center feels calm and meditative, emphasizing the wreath's meaning as a symbol of eternity and the unbroken bond of love. The lighting is soft but even, allowing every detail of petal and floret to be clearly visible without harsh contrast. This gentle combination of textures and hues would be well suited for a funeral, cremation, or remembrance service in Poplar, placed beside a photograph or at the front of a chapel near Chrisp Street or along the riverside. The design speaks of quiet respect, offering comfort to mourners while honouring a life with understated elegance and the natural beauty of fresh, local flowers.
WARM EMBRACE WREATH
£70.00
A full, perfectly defined heart of flowers fills the image, created as an elegant farewell piece that balances softness and structure. The tribute is organised in two equal halves, like two chapters of the same story. On the left, a dense gathering of creamy white to light lemon roses sits shoulder to shoulder, their petals smooth and velvety, spiralling outwards in quiet, measured layers that feel calm and reassuring. On the right, the same compact design is echoed with medium pink roses, fresher in tone yet still gentle, suggesting love, gratitude, and cherished memories. Threaded throughout both sides, and especially prominent along the central divide and the outer curve of the heart, are countless tiny white blooms of baby's breath, forming a delicate, cloud-like veil between the roses and tracing the perimeter so the outline remains soft but unmistakable. The flowers are photographed against a plain white background with bright, even lighting, so the heart seems to almost float, free of distraction, inviting focus on its symbolic form. This is the kind of sympathetic floral heart you might see delivered by Poplar Florist to a funeral home near Poplar High Street or a small service by the riverside, its colours chosen to comfort and honour without overwhelming. Each rose appears fresh and carefully positioned, capturing the respect and quiet emotion of a final tribute lovingly prepared for a family in the local community.
INFINITY ROSE HEART
£105.00
A beautifully composed circular wreath for a funeral or memorial is presented on a bright white background, allowing its tranquil colours and textures to take centre stage. The wreath is densely arranged with white Oriental lilies, their plentiful, satin-smooth petals opening wide in serene, star-shaped blooms. Many reveal pale green centres and a constellation of stamens crowned with rust-gold anthers, while a few buds remain elegantly closed, promising blossoms not yet seen. Nestled between these larger blooms are clusters of lisianthus, their frilled petals white at the heart and finely edged in gentle tones of lilac and purple, giving the impression of watercolour strokes along the petal rims. The interplay between the crisp white lilies and the softly tinted lisianthus creates a quiet dialogue of purity and tender remembrance. Subtle strands of greenery, including narrow leaves and eucalyptus-like sprigs, weave through the base of the wreath, barely visible but essential in adding depth and a garden-fresh character. The overall composition feels still and contemplative, like an early morning along the quieter streets of Poplar or a reflective moment by the riverside. It is easy to imagine this wreath resting by a casket at a local church or crematorium, offering a calm focal point for mourners. Its circular shape echoes themes of eternity and unbroken love, while the white and purple shades evoke peace, dignity, and affectionate memory, making it a fitting funeral tribute for families in Poplar and the surrounding East London neighbourhoods.
ETERNAL AFFECTION WREATH
£80.00
The image captures a heartfelt floral tribute that spells out the word "DAD" in three bold, interlinked letters, resting against a pure white background that highlights every colour and texture. Each letter is framed and filled with lush fern foliage, the deep green fronds forming a soft, feathery border that traces the curves and angles of the shapes. Over this, the florist has pressed in a dense covering of white chrysanthemums and broad-petalled white gerbera daisies, creating a smooth, snowy surface that feels calm and contemplative, perfect for a funeral or memorial. Scattered across the white are cheerful splashes of yellow from gerbera daisies and neat clusters of yellow spray roses, brightening the design and symbolising cherished memories and warmth. Areas of rich purple lisianthus and small heads of magenta or fuchsia spray roses introduce a deeper palette, adding emotional weight and balance. Tiny lavender-tinted blossoms and lively green button chrysanthemums tuck into the gaps, giving the arrangement movement and detail without overwhelming the clarity of the letters. All blooms face forward, carefully angled so the tribute reads clearly from the front, just as it might when placed at a service in Poplar or carried past the waterside paths by Blackwall Basin. Narrow green metal bars link the bases of the letters, nearly hidden under fern and foliage so the mechanics never distract from the message. This is the kind of bespoke piece families in Poplar choose when they want flowers to say what words cannot, honouring a father with beauty, precision, and tenderness.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
A long, asymmetrical sympathy spray in shades of white and green stretches across a stark white background, as if ready to rest at the head of a casket or beside a framed photograph during a memorial service in Poplar or near the docks. The focal point is a cluster of large white Oriental lilies, some fully open with their velvety petals spreading wide around soft, pollen-dusted stamens, others standing tall as elegant buds. Around these lilies nestle creamy white roses, from tight buds to more open blooms revealing layered whorls of petals, joined by ruffled white carnations and daisy-like white Gerberas whose pale cream or yellow centres lend a quiet hint of contrast. Dotted throughout are tiny white filler flowers, creating a veil of softness that unifies the arrangement. Beneath this cloud of blossoms lies a generous framework of foliage: broad, dark green leaves that create depth; fine, lacy fern fronds that add an airy lightness; and rounded eucalyptus leaves in muted blue-green tones that curve gently at the edges. At the upper section, slender, ribbon-like leaves are neatly wrapped together, forming a tidy vertical detail that draws the eye upward. From the lower right, a fan of slender palm fronds spreads and sweeps away, giving the spray its distinctive elongated silhouette and sense of flow. The result is a tranquil, composed floral tribute, perfect for same-day delivery by a local Poplar florist to a chapel of rest, crematorium, or family gathering space, where its serene colours and graceful lines can offer a quiet expression of condolence and enduring love.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
In this deeply meaningful floral heart, artistry and sentiment unite-a lovingly hand-fashioned galaxy of rose blooms in alternating soft pinks and creamy ivories, conveying Poplar's spirit of unity and care. Each rose shines gently, from just-budding to fully open, their velvet petals swirling in a soothing dance reminiscent of soft Thames breezes drifting through local parks. Cloudy bunches of white baby's breath pepper the arrangement, their fine blossoms imparting an ethereal grace much like Poplar's luminous morning skies. The heart is both full and symmetrical, meticulously crafted to ensure every color, from pale peach blush to buttery white, blends harmoniously. Subtle light heightens the bouquet's textures, each detail unmistakably crisp against the background. This arrangement is more than floral; it's an emblem of compassion and enduring affection, thoughtfully created for moments where words alone cannot capture the depth of farewell, sympathy, or loving tribute. Each petal and wisp of gypsophila reflects the dedication of Poplar's community florists, honouring local traditions of care and connection.
DEAREST ONE HEART
£130.00
An elegant, pillow-shaped sympathy tribute arranged with florist care, the rectangular form formed from a dense carpet of small, pristine white chrysanthemums that read as a soft, comforting surface. The chrysanthemum heads are packed close together to suggest the comforting texture of a cushion; their tiny petals create an even, restful plane. Encircling the piece is a neatly pleated ribbon of pale lime-green satin, its delicate frill adding a touch of gentle colour and a satin sheen that speaks of thoughtful finishing. Anchoring the composition on the upper left is a natural cluster of accent flowers: two fully open white Oriental lilies with their graceful trumpets and yellow stamens, a closed lily bud, and deep burgundy spray carnations that bring warmth and contrast in both tone and ruffled texture. Varied green foliage - feathery ferns, glossy salal and broader leaves - provides a rich backdrop, while a long, arching strand of green bear grass or decorative wire curves from the cluster toward the right, terminating in a single deep red rosebud poised on the upper right edge. The rosebud's velvety surface and tight spiral of petals convey devotion and lasting affection. The arrangement carries a soft scent of lilies and the cool, muted palette of white, green and deep red reads as peaceful and reverent. As an experienced local florist serving Poplar and nearby Canary Wharf, Poplar Florist often prepares this style for funerals, memorials or wakes; it is a classic expression of condolence that feels handcrafted, dignified and quietly consoling for families across East India Dock Road and the Chrisp Street area.
EXPRESSION OF LOVE CUSHION
£135.00
A handcrafted memorial piece spelling out DAD in robust, rounded uppercase letters, each letter densely covered in pure white chrysanthemums that create a uniform, tactile surface of tiny, serene florets. The outer and inner edges are crisply defined with a ruffled dark green satin ribbon that reads like a carefully tailored frame against the white blooms, while slim, dark green metal bars run horizontally behind the letters, revealing the practical armature that holds the trio together as a cohesive tribute. On the left D a luminous cluster of three to four yellow roses-bright as morning light-sits on the upper left curve with delicate sprays of white freesia and fine gypsophila, and two long, bare green stems curve gently toward the A, adding a sense of movement. The center A carries a refined cluster on its lower left stem: two deep purple-to-burgundy calla lilies, their sculptural, trumpet-shaped forms imparting quiet elegance, surrounded by small white accents and verdant leaves. The right D mirrors the left with a matching bouquet of sunny yellow roses and white filler blooms. The overall impression is one of measured dignity and comfort; the combination of white for peace, yellow for warm remembrance, and burgundy for reverence creates layered emotion. As a local Poplar florist, we prepare pieces like this for wakes and services near Chrisp Street Market, Canary Wharf, and the East India Dock Road, where families often ask for bespoke tributes that read clearly from the chapel aisle and carry a gentle, floral scent of chrysanthemum and roses.
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
This carefully crafted memorial piece spells DAD in substantial, three-dimensional letters, each formed from a tight mass of snowy white chrysanthemums that give a plush, tactile surface reminiscent of cloud-soft cushions. The letters sit against an uncluttered white backdrop so the sculpted shapes and textures remain the focus; each edge is neatly defined with an emerald-green, ruffled ribbon that frames the white blooms like a respectful trim. A subtle dark green or slate-grey support bar runs horizontally behind the word, indicating the arrangement is built for display on an easel at a funeral service or graveside. Colour accents are deliberately placed: a compact cluster of deep magenta roses with small white freesia and glossy dark-green foliage sits on the upper left curve of the first D; the A is graced with a similar cluster tucked into its lower central V; the final D carries a matching cluster on its upper right-creating a balanced rhythm of colour across the tribute. The scent is quiet-a soft rose perfume beneath the faint, clean note of chrysanthemum and the sweet lift of freesia-so the piece feels intimate rather than overpowering. As a local Poplar florist would note, this style of personalised lettering is commonly chosen for services at East London chapels and community halls near East India Dock Road and Canary Wharf, where family members look for a dignified, bespoke tribute. Prepared with careful craftsmanship and seasonal, freshly sourced stems, the design reads as a calm, loving farewell that honours a father with understated elegance.
GRACIOUS DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
A profoundly tender funeral tribute reads MUM in large connected capital letters, each letter constructed from dense clusters of immaculate white chrysanthemums so closely packed they form a continuous, plush surface that speaks of purity and quiet remembrance. The edges of the letters are softly bordered with a ruffled light-pink fabric trim that introduces a gentle, maternal warmth against the pristine white blooms. A slim dark-green structural frame peeks through at intervals, showing the careful engineering beneath this standing tribute that keeps it upright and composed during a service. Three vivid accent bouquets punctuate the arrangement: the first M bears a small, artful spray of deep fuchsia roses, fern-like glossy greenery and tiny orange-red hypericum berries on its upper left; the U is balanced by the same combination tucked into its lower curve; and the final M mirrors this with a matching cluster on its upper right. The interplay of textures - soft, papery chrysanthemums, velvet-like rose heads and the smooth, round berries - invites both touch and memory, while a faint floral aroma drifts from the roses when the piece is nearby. As a Poplar-based florist I often craft tributes like this for memorials around Canary Wharf, Blackwall and Poplar High Street; it offers a composed and heartfelt way to honour a mother at a chapel, funeral or graveside, conveying love, respect and a comforting sense of closure for family and friends.
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
A dignified floral memorial crafted into three bold capital letters that spell DAD, each letter densely covered in small, immaculate white chrysanthemums to form a plush, uniform surface. The letters are neatly edged in a ribbed, emerald-green ribbon which provides a crisp silhouette against the clean, bright white background and emphasizes the three-dimensional form. On the upper left curve of the first D a prominent bouquet of deep red roses sits alongside delicate white freesia and lush dark-green foliage, while the A bears a similar cluster near the lower left of its central triangle with a gentle upward sweep of grassy greenery. The final D carries a matching spray on its upper right curve, creating a balanced triptych of colour and texture. Tactile contrasts are clear: the chrysanthemums' fine, feathery petals create a calm, cloud-like field; the roses offer sumptuous, velvety blooms; the freesia contributes a subtle citrus-vanilla scent and crisp white accent. A network of slim, dark support bars is visible behind the letters, barely intruding but ensuring the tribute reads as one cohesive unit. Lit evenly for clarity, the arrangement is ideal for a memorial service or graveside at a local Poplar church or a wake near Canary Wharf's quieter chapels, carrying both solemnity and a measured warmth. The combination of white for purity and red for love gives this bespoke tribute a clear language of condolence, crafted with the quiet expertise of an East London florist familiar with families from Chrisp Street Market to Blackwall.
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
Captured in a clean, bright studio setting, this funeral flower basket rests on a white surface with a seamless white backdrop, ensuring that the colours and forms of each bloom are beautifully defined. The basket itself is a light cream or off-white weave, with a prominent curved handle rising above the arrangement like a gentle arch. From this base, the flowers swell in a rounded, generous shape. At the heart lies a creamy white rose, its petals tightly coiled in a soft spiral, suggesting innocence, remembrance, and quiet farewell. Deep purple calla lilies curve gracefully nearby, their sleek trumpet-like blossoms and rich, velvety tones offering a sense of refined dignity. Threaded carefully throughout the design, star-shaped clematis blooms in pale lilac and lavender tones bring airiness, each central touch of yellow echoing the soft warmth of candlelight. Small, trumpet-like clusters of yellow and white blooms-similar to freesia or alstroemeria-tuck in between the larger flowers, lending texture and a subtle, optimistic glow. On the right, a single magenta gerbera-style flower peeks outward, its structured ring of petals creating a vivid focal point that stands for a life lovingly remembered. The flowers are cradled in a bed of lush greenery, combining glossy, broad dark green leaves with lighter, more delicate sprigs that give depth and fullness. A faint shadow beneath the basket anchors it to the surface, making the arrangement feel as though it has been gently placed in a quiet room before a service. This thoughtful composition reflects the kind of heartfelt tributes crafted for families in Poplar, whether for a funeral at a local chapel or as a sympathy gift delivered to a loved one's home.
