LETTER TRIBUTES
RED ROSE DAD TRIBUTE
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
Set against a calm, mid-grey backdrop, this detailed image presents a refined three-letter floral tribute spelling out "MOM," the sort of design often chosen for intimate funerals around Shadwell, Limehouse, and the riverside churches nearby. Each letter is formed from a dense carpet of small white chrysanthemums, their tightly packed blooms creating a soft, even texture that feels both respectful and lovingly crafted. The first "M" is gently embellished at its upper left corner with a lush fuchsia rose, several paler pink rosebuds, and a fan of fresh green fern, the colours blending in a harmonious burst against the white. At the base of the circular "O," a single pink rose nestles into the chrysanthemums, like a quiet kiss of remembrance placed at the heart of the tribute. The final "M" echoes the first, its top right edge crowned with another fuchsia rose cluster and graceful fern fronds, giving the trio a balanced, symmetrical rhythm. Around this central group, the cropped edges of more floral letters hint at other bespoke tributes available, suggesting full names or words arranged together on stands, much as you might see in local Shadwell memorial chapels. Over the centre, a clean white rectangular frame holds the title "3 LETTER Tribute" in crisp white text, combining modern fonts with an elegant script. The lighting is soft and even, letting the textures of the petals and greenery stand out, and the overall impression is of a thoughtfully designed sympathy arrangement, offering gentle comfort to families saying goodbye.
3 LETTER TRIBUTE
£155.00
A poignant floral memorial spelling out "DAD" in large, upright letters, designed with the care and precision of an experienced funeral florist in Shadwell. Each letter is built on a sturdy hidden frame that runs horizontally behind the blooms, allowing the tribute to stand prominently, as it might beside a coffin or at the front of a small service room off Cable Street. The surfaces of the letters are completely covered with tightly packed white chrysanthemums, forming a plush, cloud-like texture where no gaps of greenery show through, just a continuous blanket of clean white petals. Around the perimeter of every letter, a deep emerald green ribbon is pleated into soft ruffles, creating a defined border that gently ripples and contrasts with the smooth flowers. On the first "D", a tasteful cluster of white freesia and fresh foliage rests on the top left curve, adding delicate movement and a hint of natural fragrance in the mind's eye. From this point, two slim green stems sweep diagonally towards the centre, crossing over the "A" and leading into a focal spray. Here, two rich, purple-plum calla lilies, with their sculpted, trumpet-shaped blooms, sit among smaller white blossoms and glossy leaves, providing a dignified depth of colour to the otherwise white and green arrangement. The final "D" carries a smaller coordinating accent of white freesia and greenery on its upper right, balancing the composition without drawing attention away from the central spray. Set against a simple white background, the tribute exudes quiet dignity, remembrance, and heartfelt gratitude for a father's life and presence.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
This image presents a serene and carefully composed advertisement for a personalised four-letter funeral flower tribute, the sort of custom piece often chosen by families across Shadwell for services at local chapels or gravesides. Framed by a soft, uniform light grey background, the composition is dominated by a square, semi-transparent dark grey panel bordered in clean white. On this panel, white text reads "4 LETTER" in a clear, modern style, stacked above the word "Tribute," which is written in a graceful script that curves like calligraphy on a remembrance card. Behind this translucent panel, extending slightly beyond its left and right edges, rests a floral word tribute spelled in four large letters. Each letter is completely covered in tight clusters of white chrysanthemums, giving a plush, textured surface that suggests gentleness and purity. Along the side edges, a delicate line of pale pink ribbon or fabric peeks through, offering a soft, comforting tone that feels as gentle as a quiet walk along The Highway at dusk. Punctuating the white blooms are vivid red roses, placed with intention amidst sprays of rich green foliage, perhaps ruscus or fern, their leaves adding depth and freshness. These roses sit like jewels in a sea of white, representing enduring love and remembrance. The semi-transparent overlay allows the red roses and greenery to shine through, visually linking the written message with the actual floral letters. The overall impression is of skilled craftsmanship and thoughtful design, conveying the idea of custom floral name tributes and sympathy arrangements available for families in and around Shadwell who wish to say goodbye in a deeply personal, beautiful way.
4 LETTER TRIBUTE
£200.00
This image presents a lovingly crafted five-letter floral tribute, the sort of personalised arrangement often chosen by families in Shadwell who want to honour a loved one with a name or word spelled out in flowers. The letters lie side by side across a clean, light grey surface, each one formed from densely packed white chrysanthemums, their petals layered so closely that the texture appears almost velvety to the touch. A rich band of deep purple satin ribbon traces the outline of every letter, its gentle sheen catching the light and giving each character clear definition while maintaining a solemn, respectful tone. Nestled into the white blooms are small, thoughtfully placed sprays of pale pink and lilac roses, interwoven with bright green fern fronds and touches of leafy foliage. These accents introduce soft, romantic colour and a natural sense of movement, as if the flowers had just been gathered fresh from a nearby garden in East London. Over the centre of the arrangement sits a square grey panel, a shade darker than the background and edged with a slim white border. On this panel, the words "5 LETTER Tribute" are displayed, the top line in straightforward uppercase letters and the word "Tribute" beneath in a graceful script. Portions of the letters "J," "O," "H," "N," and "A" can be seen peeking around the overlay, making it clear that this is a customisable funeral tribute. The composition feels calm, ordered, and quietly emotional, appropriate for a farewell gathering in Shadwell where family members seek a gentle, heartfelt expression of remembrance.

YELLOW ROSES DAD TRIBUTE
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
This image shows a carefully crafted funeral tribute spelling out "DAD" in three bold, floral letters, designed in the style often chosen by local families in Shadwell for a final farewell. Each letter stands independently yet forms a continuous line, resting against a spotless white background that lets every colour and petal stand out clearly, as though displayed at the front of a quiet chapel or crematorium. The framework of the letters is completely concealed by lush green fern, its feathery texture curling around the outer edges and filling any gaps, giving the design a soft, natural border reminiscent of walks through nearby parks and riverside paths. Across the top and face of each letter sit densely packed white blooms - mainly plump chrysanthemums and wide, daisy-like gerberas - creating a serene blanket of white that speaks of peace, remembrance, and gratitude. Interwoven throughout the white flowers are cheerful touches of bright yellow: small gerberas and delicate yellow spray roses that add warmth and a gentle optimism, like shafts of light in a sombre room. Deeper colours are introduced through violet and purple lisianthus, rich fuchsia or deep pink spray roses, and clusters of lavender-toned flowers, their petals adding texture and emotional depth. Here and there, lime-green button chrysanthemums echo the freshness of the foliage beneath. All flowers are arranged front-facing, carefully angled to ensure the word "DAD" is read clearly from across a chapel aisle or graveside in Shadwell. Discreet dark green bars link the letters from behind, stabilising the tribute while keeping the focus firmly on the blooms. The result is a moving, personalised sympathy arrangement that honours a beloved father with colour, craftsmanship, and heartfelt care.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
Set against a soft, mid-grey backdrop, a darker grey square sits in the centre of the image, edged with a slim white border that makes it appear almost like a framed announcement on a chapel wall. Inside, pure white lettering spells out "7 LETTER Tribute": the number 7 stands tall at the top, "LETTER" sits neatly beneath in a modest sans-serif, and "Tribute" sweeps gracefully across the bottom in a flowing script that suggests care and craftsmanship. Peeking from either side of this central panel is a custom funeral flower arrangement spelling the word "GRANDMA". Each of the seven letters is built from a dense blanket of small white chrysanthemums, packed closely so that their soft petals fuse into a single, plush surface, reminiscent of freshly opened blooms at a Shadwell Florist workbench early in the day. Along the base and curves of the letters, accents of deep purple blossoms - perhaps lisianthus or petite roses - punctuate the white with a stately richness, supported by sprigs of fresh green foliage that add texture and life. The letter "G" is the most visible on the left, with parts of the following "R", "A", "N", "D", "M" and final "A" appearing on the right, each repeating the same gentle rhythm of white, purple, and green. The whole design suggests a loving, personalised memorial created for a grandmother from the Shadwell or Stepney area, a floral tribute that would sit beautifully beside the coffin or at the front of the service, holding the family's memories in quiet, fragrant form.
7 LETTER TRIBUTE
£330.00
PINK ROSES MUM TRIBUTE
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Set against a simple white backdrop, this "OUR MUM" floral letter tribute appears as a serene, carefully composed memorial, the kind a family in Shadwell might choose to place by the coffin or hearse on the day of a final farewell. The large, block-style letters are fully carpeted with tightly clustered white chrysanthemums, each small bloom opening into a neat, rounded head that creates an even, cushiony texture from edge to edge. The whiteness is soft rather than stark, suggesting purity, peace, and quiet reflection. Around every letter runs a meticulously shaped border of rich red flowers, probably spray carnations, forming a clean outline that frames the words with warmth and definition, much like the red brick terraces that frame the streets around Shadwell and Wapping. Interspersed along the tribute are three expressive groupings of red roses, their petals velvety and layered, nestled into beds of glossy green leaves and fern. One cluster gently bridges the space between the "O" and the "U", another sits with quiet emphasis between the "U" and the first "M", while the last graces the end of the final "M", giving the composition rhythm and balance. Behind the blossoms, subtle dark green bars reveal the sturdy framework that keeps each letter aligned, ready to be displayed at a funeral service, memorial, or burial. There is no visible clutter, only the message itself, surrounded by calm space, allowing the interplay of white, red, and green to carry its emotional weight. This arrangement feels like a soft spoken yet deeply sincere tribute, evoking the scent of fresh flowers and the hush of a chapel as family and friends remember a devoted mum from the local community.

£290.00
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Spelling out the word "MUM" in large, block capitals, this floral tribute feels both strong and incredibly tender, the kind of design a family in Shadwell might place beside the coffin in a local chapel or accompany on a final journey through Cable Street. Each letter is densely built from tiny, immaculate white spray chrysanthemums, their petals overlapping to form a thick, plush surface that looks almost like pure white velvet. The blooms sit snugly together, with no gaps, so the word is crisp and easy to read even from a distance. A deep green frame peeks subtly around the base and edges of the letters, providing support and a natural outline, as though the tribute is gently resting on a bed of foliage. To soften the structure and introduce colour, three coordinated flower sprays are arranged with care. On the upper left corner of the first "M", a vivid fuchsia garden rose opens fully, surrounded by paler pink spray roses and finely serrated fern leaves that arc gracefully outward. A similar cluster nestles into the lower central curve of the "U", almost like a small posy laid at the heart of the tribute, while the upper right corner of the final "M" carries the last matching spray, balancing the design. The interplay of bright white, rich pink, and fresh green creates a serene, comforting mood, ideal for expressing deep love, respect, and remembrance for a mother. The tribute appears evenly lit, with no harsh shadows, emphasising its calm, composed character and the quiet message of thanks and farewell carried in every bloom.
PINK GARDEN MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
The image shows a refined "MUM" funeral tribute, arranged in three bold block letters that stretch horizontally across a clean white backdrop, allowing the flowers to be the sole focus. Each sturdy letter is completely carpeted with dense white spray chrysanthemums, the small, daisy-like blooms overlapping so closely that no gaps of the supporting base are visible. Their soft, velvety texture evokes tenderness and peace, qualities many families in Shadwell look for when honouring a much-loved mother. A neat dark green framework traces the outline of each letter, glimpsed beneath the petals and around the sides, giving crisp definition and echoing the deep greens of local pocket parks tucked off Cable Street. To gently break the expanse of white, three accents of warm pastel roses are arranged with care: a cluster of blush and peach roses rests on the left shoulder of the first "M," a second nestles at the lower curve of the central "U," and a third is positioned on the right shoulder of the final "M." Each cluster combines partially open roses with tighter buds, interwoven with sprigs of feathery fern and rich green leaves that add movement and depth. The pastel roses infuse the tribute with warmth and a sense of personal affection, suggesting cherished memories and quiet gratitude. Crafted in the style often requested from Shadwell Florist for funeral services and cremations held locally, this floral lettering offers a gentle, dignified way to express love, respect, and remembrance for a mother's life.

PURPLE AND WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE & WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
Set against a clean, white backdrop, this striking floral tribute spells "MUM" in generous, three-dimensional letters, designed as a heartfelt farewell for a cherished mother. The main body of each letter is entirely covered with small magenta and deep purple chrysanthemums, placed shoulder to shoulder so no gaps of foam or structure show through, just a continuous field of colour. Their lime-green centres punctuate the surface like tiny lights, adding brightness and a natural, garden-fresh character. Along the outer edges, a softly ruffled ribbon in pale pink traces each curve and corner, lending a gentle, almost vintage frame that enhances the tenderness of the piece. On the first "M," near the top left, a curated cluster of vivid pink roses unfolds, accompanied by airy fern fronds and modest sprigs of foliage, giving a sense of life and movement rising from within the letter. The central "U" is adorned at its base with a graceful arrangement of pastel roses in blush and cream, mixed with variegated greenery and small white filler flowers that resemble tiny stars, forming a quiet cradle of softness within the letter's arc. The final "M" carries a complementary accent on its upper right, echoing the first with deep pink roses and fresh green fern, creating symmetry across the word. The overall impression is one of calm strength and affection, the type of custom funeral arrangement often chosen by families in Shadwell and nearby Wapping when they want flowers to speak of warmth, respect, and enduring connection at a funeral, wake, or crematorium service.

The image shows a beautifully composed funeral name tribute spelling "KATE" in large, floral block letters, set against a clean white backdrop so every nuance of colour and texture is clearly visible. Each letter is built from dense cushions of white chrysanthemums, their many layered petals forming a soft, velvety surface that feels calm and reassuring. A narrow band of light pink ribbon trims each outline, gently ruffled to soften the edges and add a subtle blush of colour, reminiscent of a favourite dress or cherished keepsake. Within the snowy blooms, the florist has tucked carefully chosen feature flowers and greenery. On the "K" and at the base of the "T", yellow-green cymbidium orchids with speckled reddish-brown throats add a refined, almost regal note, surrounded by glossy foliage and airy fern fronds for contrast. On the "A" and "E", rich red, heart-shaped anthuriums with their polished, waxy petals echo the warmth of enduring love, framed by deep green leaves. Slender green vines and tendrils arc gracefully across the letters, connecting one to another in a gentle, flowing line that suggests continuity, family ties, and memories that stretch beyond loss. This personalised floral name arrangement would feel at home at a Shadwell funeral service, perhaps travelling from a local florist along Commercial Road to a church, crematorium, or quiet gathering space. The overall impression is one of tenderness, craftsmanship, and heartfelt remembrance, offering a dignified and intimate way to say a final goodbye to Kate.

£200.00
The image shows a dignified funeral flower tribute spelling out "GRANDPA" in large, upright letters arranged side by side on a narrow dark bar, as if ready to be placed beside the coffin or at the front of a memorial in Shadwell. Each letter is completely covered in dense, closely packed white chrysanthemums or similar small blooms, creating a plush, cushion-like surface that feels soft and serene, like freshly opened flowers at first light along nearby Cable Street. The white petals overlap in tiny ripples, with hints of creamy centres peeking through, giving the tribute both purity and texture.   

Encircling each block letter is a graceful edging of light lavender or pale mauve flowers, forming a delicate outline that gently separates the letters from one another and from the bright white background. This lilac trim brings a subtle touch of colour, a quiet whisper of farewell rather than a shout, and helps define every curve and straight edge of the G, R, A, N, D, P and final A. Carefully placed accents of peach roses and green foliage appear on selected letters: a generous cluster of roses and buds with glossy leaves adorns the G, a single rose softens the first A, a matching cluster enriches the D, and another single peach rose finishes the last A. These warm tones echo the affection and stories shared with a beloved grandfather. The overall arrangement is neat, balanced and thoughtfully designed, the kind of bespoke memorial tribute families in Shadwell might choose to honour a much-loved grandpa with sympathy flowers that speak of love, memories and gentle goodbyes.

BA TRIBUTE
BA PERSONALISED TRIBUTE
£100.00
The image shows a beautifully composed funeral flower arrangement spelling out "GRANDMA" in bold, capital letters, laid out horizontally as if ready to be placed at the front of a chapel or beside a casket. Each individual letter is entirely filled with tightly set white cushion chrysanthemums, their small, rounded heads overlapping to create a plush, almost pillow-soft surface that appears pure and luminous against the clean white background. Along the outer edge of every letter, a whisper of pale lilac or light purple ribbon gently frames the flowers, adding a refined outline that softens the geometry of the block shapes. Carefully positioned accents of red bring life and emotion to the design: the opening "G" is adorned with a group of deep red roses nestled into its curve, accompanied by a striking variegated red-and-white calla lily that arcs gracefully from the cluster. The first "A" is marked by a single red anthurium, its heart-shaped, lacquered spathe glowing like a symbol of enduring love. At the centre, the "M" features another spray of rich red roses and a matching red anthurium, and the last "A" echoes this sentiment with one more red anthurium resting among the white blooms. Subtle hints of dark green structure and foliage peek through beneath the flowers, giving stability to the piece. Crafted with the quiet care you might expect from a long-established Shadwell florist serving families around Watney Market and The Highway, this personalised sympathy tribute offers a tender, respectful way to honour a beloved grandmother's memory.
