A striking, three-dimensional Celtic cross made entirely of fresh flowers, presented on a crisp white background so that its form and colours are unmistakable. The foundation of the cross is densely packed white spray chrysanthemums, their small clustered blooms building a plush, almost textile-like surface that reads as purity and calm. Interlaced within that white are vivid apple-green button chrysanthemums, arranged to delineate the circular wheel at the intersection and to occupy alternating sections along the arms - a pattern that produces a classic Celtic motif and a pleasing textural contrast between soft petals and compact green spheres. Set at the very centre, where the arms converge, is a compact trio of orange roses with warm, honeyed-orange petals; these three blooms form a bright focal point, enhanced by a few dark green fern fronds that outline and elevate them. The lighting is soft and even, bringing out the delicate ridges of each petal and the subtle sheen on the green buttons, while the clean backdrop focuses attention on craftsmanship and symbolism. This arrangement carries a purposefully solemn yet hopeful mood, ideal as a funeral or memorial tribute and resonant for families with Irish roots - the white, green, and orange composition recalling the Irish tricolour in a subdued, respectful way. As a florist serving Somers Town and the nearby St Pancras and King's Cross communities, I imagine this cross placed by a chapel altar or on a memorial stand, offering a serene, dignified expression of remembrance.

A carefully composed three-dimensional Celtic cross sculpted entirely from fresh flowers, shown against a stark white background and photographed from a slightly elevated angle so the circular ring at the centre reads clearly. The primary mass of the cross is a plush field of pure white spray chrysanthemums; their clustered, cloud-like heads create a soft, dignified surface that suggests quiet reverence and purity. Woven through that white base are tightly grouped, apple-green button chrysanthemums - almost lime in tone - which trace the distinctive circular wheel where the cross's arms meet and reappear in alternating segments along the horizontal arms, giving the design tactile rhythm and visual depth. At the very heart of the ring sit three fully opened, warm orange roses whose golden-orange petals catch the light and draw the eye inward; they are gently hugged by a few dark green fern sprigs that provide cool contrast and a hint of woodland scent. Soft, even lighting emphasizes petal texture and the three-dimensional form without harsh shadow, allowing the arrangement's delicate fragrance of chrysanthemum and rose to be almost imaginable. The overall feeling is one of solemn warmth - a sympathy or funeral tribute that honours faith and memory while echoing Irish colours in white, green, and orange. As a florist familiar with Somers Town, I would place this tribute near a chapel, beside a graveside, or on a memorial table at a wake, where its handcrafted symbolism - the Celtic wheel, the tidy green accents, the glowing orange heart - offers comfort and an eloquent expression of remembrance to a local family. An Irish-inspired funeral cross is shown in full view, its colours and textures coming together in a calm, reverent composition that would feel at home in a Somers Town memorial service near Regent's Park. The core shape of the cross is completely filled with white chrysanthemums, each blossom pressed closely to the next until the surface appears thick, cushioned, and softly rippled with overlapping petals. In contrast, neat mounds of vivid green button chrysanthemums appear at balanced points along the cross, their compact, rounded heads creating playful rises in the otherwise smooth expanse of white, like little islands of new grass. At the intersection of the cross, a trio of roses forms a warm focal cluster: one a deep flame-orange, the others shifting through apricot and golden tones, their velvety petals unfolding in layered spirals. These roses are gently ringed by fresh green filler flowers and small leafy sprigs, while graceful fern fronds reach outward from beneath, giving the central cluster a natural halo and adding depth and shadow. Together, the green, white, and orange reflect the colours of the Irish national flag, stirring memories of heritage, homeland, and shared stories. The arrangement feels both symbolic and deeply personal-a floral cross one might order for a loved one with Irish connections, whether they lived near Somers Town, Bloomsbury, or further afield. Crafted with steady, experienced hands, it seems ready to rest on a coffin, at the head of a chapel aisle, or by a graveside, quietly offering comfort, peace, and a final, heartfelt blessing.
