FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY BASKET
£60.00
This image shows a carefully crafted funeral flower basket, photographed cleanly against a pure white backdrop so every bloom and leaf can be appreciated in quiet detail. The container is a light cream or off-white woven basket with a pronounced arched handle, its soft texture evoking the warmth of a comforting gesture from a neighbour in Shadwell. Rising from the basket, a mounded, rounded arrangement appears to overflow with premium fresh flowers and foliage. The central focus is a sumptuous creamy white rose, its tightly layered petals opening in a calm, symmetrical spiral that suggests purity and farewell. Nearby, two deep purple calla lilies unfurl with sculptural grace, their trumpet shapes adding a refined, almost contemporary elegance often chosen for memorials along The Highway or chapel services near the river. Delicate, star-like clematis in pale lilac and lavender weave through the design, giving a sense of lightness and gentle movement, while clusters of small yellow blossoms-reminiscent of alstroemeria or freesia-introduce soft sunshine tones without overwhelming the restful palette. A single magenta gerbera daisy on the right edge adds a bold but tender accent, like a cherished memory standing out in a life story. Around and beneath the flowers, glossy dark green leaves and finer, fresher green sprigs create a lush, verdant cushion, enhancing the colours and giving the basket a sense of natural abundance. The overall mood is one of quiet strength and comfort, an arrangement that could be sent for a funeral, remembrance gathering, or to a Shadwell home as a respectful, elegant expression of sympathy and support.
TREASURED MOMENTS BASKET
£65.00
A tranquil floral funeral basket is photographed against a flawless white backdrop, every detail designed to convey calm and respect. The basket itself is woven in light beige, almost white, with a smooth, arched handle that frames the flowers like a gentle halo. Inside, the arrangement is lush and rounded, brimming with premium blooms that feel deliberately placed yet softly natural, as if gathered by an experienced Shadwell florist who understands how flowers can speak when words are difficult. Large, creamy white roses dominate the composition, their fully open, velvety petals unfolding in quiet layers of light. Around and between them, pale yellow and white freesia-like flowers and lemony alstroemeria form smaller clusters, adding movement, gentle fragrance and a note of understated cheer that still respects the solemnity of loss. Threaded thoughtfully throughout are star-shaped clematis in soft lavender and periwinkle tones, their yellow-green centres adding a subtle spark, reminiscent of the first hint of colour over Shadwell's rooftops at dawn. Rich, glossy green leaves surround and support the blooms, creating a deep, verdant base that accentuates the cool, luminous palette. The lighting is even and soft, with no harsh shadows, enhancing the impression of serenity and composure. This elegant basket feels particularly suited to a funeral or memorial gathering around Cable Street or near the riverside, offering comfort, remembrance and a quiet blessing. It has the look of an arrangement chosen with care by a family wishing to send love, gratitude and farewell in a single, beautifully composed gesture.
PEACE & PURITY BASKET
£65.00
A serene funeral basket arrangement rests in front of a bright white backdrop, its gentle colours and textures creating a sense of calm reflection suited to a Shadwell farewell. The basket itself is a shallow, oval cradle of pale natural wood, finished with a smooth, arched handle and four small feet that lift it lightly from the surface, giving the piece a refined yet homely character. From this base rises a rounded dome of flowers, so full it seems to spill softly over the sides. Creamy white roses open in generous layers, each bloom unfurling like a quiet gesture of respect and remembrance. Intertwined with them are deep red carnations, their frilled petals forming rich, velvety clusters that speak of enduring love and heartfelt emotion. Lighter, bi-coloured carnations appear here and there, their white petals brushed with soft pink and red, offering a gentle transition between the stronger tones. Tiny white blooms, akin to freesias with their bell-shaped flowers and slender stems, peek from the foliage, suggesting both innocence and hope. A dense foundation of dark green leaves grounds the design, while finer, feathery greenery lifts the eye and softens the edges, much like the greenery you might notice walking through nearby parks or quiet streets near Shadwell station. The flowers are closely packed, creating a sense of fullness and care that feels appropriate for a funeral, memorial service, or to accompany condolence messages delivered to families around the E1 area. The arrangement captures a balance of love, purity, and thoughtful goodbye.
REMEMBRANCE BASKET
£60.00
Set against a pure white backdrop, this rounded bouquet appears almost to float, its fullness and structure clearly defined by the soft shadow beneath it. The flowers are tightly clustered, creating a plush dome of colour and texture that feels both luxurious and inviting, like an armful of blooms freshly gathered from a well-loved East London garden. Dominating the design are garden roses in shades of blush pink, warm yellow, and creamy peach, their layered, spiralling petals catching the light and suggesting a gentle, nostalgic fragrance. Between the roses, star-like clematis in pale lavender and off-white stretch their slender petals outward, their bright yellow and white centres giving little flashes of light that draw the eye around the bouquet. Spiky blue eryngium, with their steel-blue cones and bristling collars, provide strong vertical accents and lend a slightly rugged charm, reminiscent of the hardy plants you might see near the Thames Path around Shadwell Basin. Deep purple lisianthus, some tightly furled and others just opening, add richer jewel tones and soft, ruffled texture. Scattered clusters of glossy red hypericum berries pop brightly against the petals, dotting the arrangement with playful colour and round, bead-like forms. The entire composition is wrapped in varied greenery: broad, polished leaves, delicate feathery sprigs, and occasional darker, burgundy-tinted foliage that deepens the visual layers. The overall feeling is one of thoughtful craftsmanship and balanced abundance, the kind of bouquet a local Shadwell florist could deliver for an anniversary dinner at home, a milestone celebration in nearby Wapping, or a comforting floral gesture sent to a friend recovering after a busy week commuting through the City.
ETERNAL MEMORY POSY

COMPASSION POSY
COMPASSION POSY
£90.00
A lavish, dome-shaped bouquet of fresh flowers is set against a clean white background, the neutral space letting the colours glow as if under soft daylight filtering over Shadwell and the nearby docks. White lilies dominate the composition, their long, elegant petals arching outward and slightly back, showing off pale green centres and smooth, almost porcelain-like surfaces. Threaded between them are clusters of roses in gentle shades of blush pink and warm cream, some petals pressed tightly together in young buds, others relaxed into open, velvety spirals that suggest tenderness and devotion. Adding a vivid note of drama, several magenta and fuchsia oriental lilies rise through the arrangement, their petals patterned with darker speckles and their golden stamens reaching out, creating a sense of depth and movement at the heart of the bouquet. All around, countless tiny blooms of white baby's breath soften the transitions from one flower to the next, filling any small gaps with their misty, cloud-like texture. Slender, glossy green leaves and stems offer subtle contrast, barely visible beneath the profusion of petals yet essential to the sense of natural balance. The bouquet feels freshly arranged, like something carried from a Shadwell Florist workbench directly to a celebration in a flat overlooking The Highway or a family gathering near Cable Street. The overall impression is romantic yet refined, suitable for marking an engagement, a milestone anniversary, or a special birthday, with its mix of pure white, tender pink, and vibrant fuchsia lilies and roses expressing affection, admiration, and a joyful, hopeful heart.
