LETTER TRIBUTES
RED ROSE DAD TRIBUTE
ENDLESS LOVE DAD TRIBUTE
£155.00
This gently lit studio photograph captures a three-letter funeral tribute that reads "MOM," crafted using classic white chrysanthemums and romantic pink roses, a style familiar to many families in Sydenham Hill when remembering a much-loved mother or grandmother. Centred in the composition is a white rectangular frame, inside which the floral letters stand upright in a neat row. The chrysanthemums are small, button-shaped blooms, packed so closely that their rounded faces and frilled edges create a cushion of white, giving each letter a soft but clearly defined outline. On the first M, at the upper left, the florist has clustered a vivid fuchsia rose with softer pink rosebuds and airy fern foliage; this splash of colour draws the eye and breaks the white surface with a gentle, feminine touch. The O is smooth and continuous, its ring of chrysanthemums embracing a single pink rose at the bottom, a quiet focal point of tenderness. The second M echoes the first, with matching pink roses and fern leaves positioned at the upper right, providing visual balance and suggesting the equal importance of each letter in the tribute. Superimposed over the centre of the image, the white frame holds bold white text that reads "3 LETTER" in a modern, sans-serif font, with "Tribute" beneath in elegant, handwritten-style script, clarifying the product being shown. Around the central frame, the edges of additional white chrysanthemum letters with pink rose accents peek into view, implying that other words or initials can be created in the same style for services and wakes in and around the Sydenham Hill area.
3 LETTER TRIBUTE
£155.00
This image shows a beautifully balanced funeral floral tribute that spells out "DAD" in three substantial, block-style letters, set against a simple white background so that every petal and ribbon edge can be clearly imagined. Each letter is built from a dense bed of pristine white chrysanthemums or similar small, round-petalled flowers. The blooms are placed shoulder-to-shoulder, forming a plush, cushion-like surface that suggests tenderness and quiet support at a time of grief. Running around the outer perimeter of every letter is a rich emerald green ribbon, gently gathered into soft ruffles that catch the light, crisply outlining the word and adding a touch of natural vibrancy reminiscent of the leafy slopes and gardens around Sydenham Hill. A dark structural frame, visible in narrow strips behind the flowers, reveals that the design is mounted to stand upright for display at a church, crematorium, or graveside. Thoughtful accent blooms add character and flow. The first "D" is softened by a petite cluster of white freesia and polished green leaves at its upper left curve, introducing a delicate, sweet fragrance in the imagination. From here, two long, arching green stems sweep diagonally across the arrangement towards the central "A," culminating in an asymmetric spray that becomes the visual heart of the tribute. Nestled among additional white freesia and foliage are two deep purple calla lilies, their graceful, trumpet-shaped blooms adding depth of colour, elegance, and a sense of solemn ceremony. On the final "D," a smaller spray of white freesia and greenery at the top right echoes the first cluster. The entire piece feels deeply personal, a floral expression of love, thanks, and remembrance for a father, suitable for delivery to services across the Sydenham Hill community.
PEACEFUL DAD TRIBUTE
£160.00
The image captures the quiet power of a customised four-letter funeral tribute, photographed in a way that balances graphic design and real floristry. A line of floral letters sits horizontally across the frame, only partly visible as they pass behind a central, semi-transparent dark grey square. These letters, typically arranged to form a short name or word, are generously covered in small white chrysanthemums or similar dainty blooms, giving them a soft, cushioned texture that suggests comfort and serenity. A fine edging of pale pink ribbon runs around the sides of each letter, showing just enough to create a gentle halo of colour, like the faint pink of an early Sydenham Hill sunrise. Set among the white flowers are clusters of deep red roses, their tightly layered petals opening like miniature hearts, surrounded by fresh green foliage that adds structure and movement, evoking the greenery of nearby Dulwich Woods. Over the top of the floral work rests a dark, semi-transparent square panel, traced with a sharp white border. Inside this panel, white text is carefully laid out: the prominent numeral "4" at the top, followed by the word "LETTER" in a neat sans-serif, and "Tribute" beneath in an expressive script that feels personal and heartfelt. Because the overlay is translucent, the underlying roses and greenery still glow through, offering subtle glimpses of the craftsmanship beneath. The background remains a clean, light grey, with no extra decoration, ensuring all attention stays on the tribute. The mood is respectful, intimate, and perfectly suited to memorial services around Sydenham Hill, where personalised floral letters speak volumes when words alone are not enough.
4 LETTER TRIBUTE
£200.00
This photograph features a bespoke floral letter tribute designed for a five-letter name or word, displayed against a pale grey background that enhances its calm, respectful tone. The arrangement consists of individual letters, each one built on a sturdy base and completely covered with tightly packed white chrysanthemums. Their small, rounded florets overlap to form a soft, textured surface that reads as pure and serene from a distance, yet reveals fine detail on closer viewing. Encircling every letter is a border of deep purple satin ribbon, its rich, velvety hue providing a clear outline and adding a touch of stately formality to the tribute. On top of the blanket of white flowers, the florist has added small clusters of pale pink and lilac roses, some still slightly cupped, others more open, interwoven with airy fronds of green fern and fresh foliage. These pastel touches break up the white with gentle colour, bringing life and depth to the composition. The partially visible lettering appears to spell "JOHN A," suggesting this tribute is an example of how a family in Sydenham Hill might have a loved one's name created in flowers for a hearse, chapel display, or graveside farewell. Over the centre of the image, a semi-transparent slate-grey square framed in white carries the text "5 LETTER Tribute" in crisp white lettering, combining a modern sans-serif style with an elegant script for the final word. Together, the flowers, colours, and typography communicate a sense of personal remembrance and care, capturing the quiet emotion of saying goodbye in this leafy corner of South London.

YELLOW ROSES DAD TRIBUTE
FOREVER CHERISHED DAD TRIBUTE
£165.00
The photograph captures a heartfelt "DAD" floral tribute, designed as three individual, freestanding block letters placed side by side on a spotless white background. Each letter - first D, then A, then the final D - is wrapped in a collar of lush green fern foliage, the feathery leaves providing a soft, natural border that both frames and supports the flowers. Inside these leafy outlines, the florist has carefully positioned a dense covering of blossoms, so that the structure beneath disappears and only a full, textured field of petals remains. The primary impression is a calm expanse of white created by generous white chrysanthemums and wide-faced gerbera daisies, their velvety petals overlapping like layered fabric, suggesting purity, remembrance, and a gentle farewell. Scattered thoughtfully among these whites are accents of cheerful yellow gerberas and small yellow spray roses, adding a sense of warmth and optimism, much like the light that filters through the trees along Sydenham Hill on a clear afternoon. Richer tones are woven through the design with purple lisianthus, deep pink spray roses, and clusters of lavender-hued filler flowers, balanced by bright green button chrysanthemums that punctuate the surface with lively dots of colour. All the blooms face forward, creating a clear, easily read tribute that would sit beautifully beside a coffin or at the front of a church during a funeral service. Slim, dark green bars link the letters along the base, ensuring that the word remains perfectly aligned. This image conveys the kind of thoughtful, bespoke memorial work a local Sydenham Hill florist might create to honour a beloved father, expressing love, respect, and gratitude in a quietly powerful way.
LOVING DAD TRIBUTE
£190.00
The composition centres on a dark grey square that rests against a softer grey background, the two tones working together to create a quietly respectful mood. A thin white line borders the square, much like the mount around a cherished photograph. Within this central panel, white lettering carries the message: a bold numeral "7" at the top, followed by "LETTER" in smaller, crisp sans-serif capitals, and the word "Tribute" written in a flowing script, its elegant curves evoking the feel of a carefully written sympathy card. Behind and extending beyond both sides of the square is a seven-letter floral arrangement spelling out "GRANDMA", partially hidden yet clearly identifiable. Each letter is densely covered in white chrysanthemums or similar tight-petalled blooms, their compact heads pressed closely together to form a thick, plush bed of petals that looks both neat and tender. Scattered through this white base are clusters of deep purple blossoms-perhaps lisianthus or small roses-accented with sprigs of green foliage, adding small islands of colour and texture. You can see the rounded shape of the 'G' on the left, with hints of the 'R', 'A', 'N', 'D', 'M' and the closing 'A' continuing across, all made to an even height and width, reflecting the precision of an experienced funeral florist. The light appears soft and diffused, highlighting the natural sheen of the petals without glare, as if the tribute were resting in a quiet room before being taken to a Sydenham Hill service. The overall impression is of a bespoke, seven-letter memorial piece, created with care to help a family say a loving goodbye to their grandmother.
7 LETTER TRIBUTE
£330.00
PINK ROSES MUM TRIBUTE
FOREVER ADORED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
In this image, a beautifully balanced "OUR MUM" floral letter tribute is photographed against a plain white background, making the design appear almost as if it is floating in soft light. The tribute is arranged in a straight horizontal line, each bold capital letter attached to a discreet green frame that runs along the back. The front of every letter is packed tightly with countless white chrysanthemum-style florets, their small, neat petals overlapping in dense clusters. This creates a smooth, pillowy surface that looks soft to the touch, evoking a sense of calm and purity appropriate for a funeral or memorial service near Sydenham Hill. Surrounding the white floral centre is a meticulously formed border of deep red blooms, likely spray carnations or similarly clustered flowers. This crimson outline traces each curve and straight edge, from the round form of the "O" to the firm verticals and diagonals of the "M", making the message instantly readable even from a distance. The contrast between the snowy white centre and the bold red frame feels both classic and deeply affectionate. Adding depth and focal interest, three tasteful groupings of red roses and greenery are positioned along the tribute: one between the first two letters, another around the join of the "U" and the first "M", and a final spray gracing the end of the last letter. The roses are fully opened, showing layered, velvety petals, while the accompanying fern fronds and leaves introduce a fresh green tone that softens the strong colour blocks. Subtle glimpses of the supporting frame are visible only at certain angles, pointing to the careful craftsmanship involved. Overall, the tribute expresses love, respect, and gratitude, a tender "OUR MUM" design that would sit beautifully beside a coffin or at the front of a chapel.

PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE ACCENTED MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
The photograph features a lovingly crafted "MUM" floral tribute, the three capital letters rendered in a clean, traditional style and set against a completely white background so there are no distractions from the flowers themselves. Each letter is constructed on a solid frame lined with dark green ribbon, but this structure is almost entirely concealed beneath a carpet of white spray chrysanthemums. The little chrysanthemum blooms are packed tightly together, forming a smooth, domed texture that looks soft to the touch, symbolising peace and rest. The dark green edges along the bases of the letters just peek through, offering a fine border that defines the shapes and subtly echoes the leafy gardens and wooded slopes of the Sydenham Hill area. Adding colour and depth, three identical floral accents punctuate the design. At the top left of the first "M", a lush fuchsia rose is cradled by smaller blush-pink spray roses, with delicate fern fronds fanning out like lace. A similar cluster is carefully placed at the bottom of the "U", where the curve dips low, and a final matching grouping sits on the top right corner of the last "M", giving the word a gently symmetrical feel without being rigid. The interplay of pure white, bright pink, and fresh green creates a moving balance between serenity and affection, conveying the sense of a family's love woven into every stem. It is the kind of arrangement a Sydenham Hill florist might deliver to a local chapel or cemetery, where it would rest in quiet dignity alongside other tributes, speaking softly of gratitude, remembrance, and the irreplaceable place of a mother in the heart of a home.
PINK GARDEN MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
This image shows a long, horizontal funeral tribute that spells out "MOM" in large, clean capital letters, resting on a bright white background that highlights the detail of each bloom. The letters are formed almost entirely from crisp white chrysanthemums, their small, close-packed petals giving the impression of a soft, padded surface, as if the name itself is cushioned with care. The white flowers are uniform and immaculate, creating a feeling of peace and stillness, like freshly fallen snow along the quiet streets of Sydenham Hill. Just beneath the flowers, a structured dark green frame and neat ribbon edging can be glimpsed, reinforcing the shapes and offering subtle contrast without disturbing the calmness of the design. To break the expanse of white and add gentle warmth, three elegant clusters of roses in soft peach and apricot shades are skillfully woven into the arrangement. One cluster graces the top left of the first "M", the second nestles at the lower curve of the "O", and the third rests on the top right of the last "M", forming a balanced, harmonious rhythm from left to right. Within each cluster, roses at different stages of opening mingle with fresh, glossy foliage and fine fern fronds, giving movement and texture. The combination of delicate pastel roses and serene white chrysanthemums conveys both devotion and comfort, making this tribute an apt choice for honouring a beloved mother at a funeral, cremation, or celebration of life in and around Sydenham Hill, where families seek a floral piece that quietly but clearly expresses their love, remembrance, and lasting gratitude.

PURPLE AND WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
PURPLE & WHITE MUM TRIBUTE
£155.00
A beautifully detailed "MUM" floral tribute dominates this image, the three large letters set crisply against a bright white background so every petal and ribbon fold is clearly visible. Each letter is densely covered with small, velvety chrysanthemums in rich shades of fuchsia-purple and deep magenta, their tightly layered petals giving the arrangement a luxurious, almost quilted texture. The lime-green centres of the blooms add a gentle pop of contrast, bringing freshness and light to the otherwise intense, jewel-toned palette. Delicately framing each letter is a pale pink ruffled ribbon, neatly pleated along the edges to soften the structural lines and introduce a subtle, romantic finish. On the first "M", at the upper left corner, a cluster of soft pink roses in various stages of bloom-some fully open, others still budding-is set against feathery fern fronds and smooth green foliage, spilling gently across the chrysanthemums like a small posy laid in remembrance. The central "U" is adorned at its lowest point with a crescent of blush roses, creamy white flowers, and fresh greenery, echoing the letter's curve and evoking the sense of an embrace. On the upper right of the final "M", another spray of vivid pink roses and lush foliage mirrors the first, giving the tribute a harmonious, symmetrical feel. Designed with the careful eye of an experienced local florist familiar with family farewells in the Sydenham Hill area, this personalised funeral arrangement offers a tender, dignified way to honour a beloved mum at a service, wake, or graveside committal, its colours and textures expressing love, respect, and enduring connection.

A personalised funeral tribute spelling "KATE" is displayed here as a row of four generously sized floral letters, photographed against a plain white background so nothing distracts from the craftsmanship. Each block letter is completely filled with pristine white chrysanthemums, arranged so densely that they create a seamless, cushioned surface, much like a soft quilt of petals. Their rounded shapes and cool white tone convey calm, purity, and a sense of gentle farewell, resonating with the peaceful atmosphere often found in the leafy streets and green spaces around Sydenham Hill. The outline of each letter is trimmed with a light pink, softly pleated ribbon, whose satin sheen adds a delicate glow and feminine touch, subtly softening the strong typography of the name.   

Between the chrysanthemums, small but striking flower groupings are positioned with care. On the "K" and the "T", yellow-green cymbidium orchids with rich, reddish-brown throats are cradled in pools of dark green leaves and airy fern, giving height and structure while providing a fresh, modern twist. These orchids appear almost luminous against the white base, drawing the eye along the tribute. On the "A" and "E", glossy red anthuriums, shaped like sculpted hearts, offer a vivid contrast, their waxy surface catching the light and suggesting strong, enduring love. Around these main accents, trailing green strands and fine foliage weave gently across the letters, uniting the separate sections into one harmonious design.   

This floral lettering would be at home resting on an easel at a funeral or memorial service near Sydenham Hill, perhaps in a local church or chapel, or delivered directly to a crematorium. It feels like a carefully considered tribute for someone named Kate, created to share love, gratitude, and remembrance through sensitive, beautifully structured funeral flowers.

WHITE PAPA TRIBUTE
£200.00
In this elegant memorial arrangement, the word "GRANDPA" appears in strong, upright letters entirely composed of flowers, the sort of bespoke tribute often chosen by families around Sydenham Hill to celebrate a life well lived. The letters are built from countless white chrysanthemums, each small bloom fitting snugly against the next to form a dense, textural surface that looks soft and cushioning, as if it could gently cradle a lifetime of memories. Faint traces of pale yellow at the centre of some flowers keep the white from feeling stark, adding quiet warmth. Along the outer edges of the G, R, A, N, D, P, and final A, a narrow border of light lavender or lilac flowers traces every curve and angle, framing the word and ensuring clear legibility in the serene space of a chapel or crematorium. To introduce gentle colour and symbolism, peach roses and glossy greenery are woven into selected letters. On the "G" and "D," clusters of roses, some in bud and some open, nestle among slim white lily buds and rich green leaves, creating soft focal points. The first and last "A" are each adorned with a single peach rose, their petals gently unfurling as if echoing the tenderness of family stories shared at a wake or gathering in nearby Dulwich Wood. All seven letters rest on a slender dark support bar, designed so the tribute can stand securely while remaining visually light. The plain white background in the image removes distraction, drawing attention to the balance of white, lilac, and peach, and to the quiet emotion behind this loving farewell to a grandfather.

BA TRIBUTE
BA PERSONALISED TRIBUTE
£100.00
Against a clean white backdrop sits a graceful funeral flower tribute that spells "GRANDMA" in seven large block capitals, evenly aligned as if displayed on an easel at a Sydenham Hill chapel or crematorium. Each individual letter is densely packed with white cushion chrysanthemums, their neat, button-like centres and layered petals forming a thick, cushiony texture that feels both soft and reassuring. Tracing the edges of every character is a fine border of pale lilac or light purple ribbon, subtly visible around the sides and lending the tribute a gentle hint of colour, like a soft lavender shadow that defines the shapes without disturbing the sense of calm. The designer has added rich red highlights in a considered way, allowing the arrangement to speak of love and remembrance. The letter 'G' features a prominent cluster of deep red roses nestled into its curve, surrounded by glossy foliage and lifted by a variegated red-and-white calla lily whose gracefully rolled petal introduces a unique flourish. The first 'A' is anchored by a single, glossy red anthurium near its base, its heart-shaped form symbolising the affection held for a cherished grandmother who might have enjoyed the quiet streets off Sydenham Hill or views across the city. In the centre, the 'M' carries another group of red roses paired with a second red anthurium, creating a natural focal point, while the last 'A' is finished with one more anthurium for balance. A discreet dark green frame runs beneath and between the letters, providing stability. This personalised floral lettering, the kind often requested from local Sydenham Hill florists, offers a beautifully composed and heartfelt tribute for funeral services, wakes, or celebrations of life.
