This elegant funeral spray, captured on a pure white background, stretches diagonally like a soft sigh, its shape echoing the gentle curve of the river by Barnes. At its centre, large white oriental lilies unfurl their generous petals, each bloom showing a creamy white surface that deepens slightly towards a pale green centre, where slender stamens dusted with yellow pollen rest. Some lilies are fully open, radiating calm, while others remain in bud, poised and smooth, adding a sense of continuity and unfolding remembrance. Around them, clusters of lisianthus flowers weave in and out. These smaller, bell-shaped blossoms are white with delicate lavender edging and fine purple veins, giving almost watercolour-like accents of colour while keeping the overall palette cool and serene. Tight lisianthus buds nestle among the greenery, contributing additional texture. The foliage beneath and around the flowers is abundant and carefully placed: wide, dark green leaves form a supportive base, and long, graceful palm-like fronds fan outward along one side, reinforcing the elongated, tapered profile so characteristic of casket sprays and sheaves. A number of leaves have been artistically rolled and folded into contemporary shapes near the centre, showcasing florist skill and adding subtle structure. The piece appears fuller at one end and gently narrows towards the other, as though it were designed to rest naturally along a coffin or memorial table at a service in Barnes or nearby Sheen. The arrangement conveys a mood of tranquil respect and gentle farewell, ideal for expressing sympathy and remembering a loved one with quiet, dignified beauty.
SERENITY SPRAY
£75.00
Displayed against a clean white background, this image features a dignified, cascading funeral spray arranged in a classic diagonal teardrop shape, broad at the upper left and gradually narrowing to a graceful point at the lower right. The heart of the design is a dense cluster of dark red roses, their velvety petals unfolding in generous spirals that suggest affection, gratitude, and reverence. Woven throughout are bright red carnations and smaller spray carnations, their ruffled, almost feathered petals filling in the gaps and creating a richly textured surface across the length of the tribute. This combination of rose and carnation in varying tones of red creates a deep, harmonious palette that feels both traditional and heartfelt, perfectly in keeping with the style of funeral flowers often selected around Barnes and the surrounding Richmond area. Supporting this sea of red blooms is a bed of layered greenery: broad, dark green leaves form a solid, reassuring base that balances the intensity of the flowers, while soft, rounded eucalyptus leaves introduce cooler hints of silvery green, echoing the quiet light that often filters through the trees on Barnes Common. From the edges of the arrangement and along its tapered end, slender strands of lighter foliage extend outward and downward, enhancing the sense of gentle flow and softening the outline into a natural, cascading form. The lighting is even and calm, allowing every petal and leaf to be clearly visible without distraction. This thoughtfully composed casket spray serves as a touching expression of sympathy and remembrance, suitable for placing atop a coffin or by the altar during a funeral or memorial service.
DEEP AFFECTION CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
FLORIST CHOICE SYMPATHY SPRAY £300
£300.00
Against a clean white backdrop, this sympathy sheaf appears as a flowing diagonal ribbon of flowers and foliage, starting from the tightly bound stems at the upper left and drifting down to a graceful, tapered point on the lower right. The focal blooms are striking Stargazer lilies, their star-shaped petals a vivid fuchsia-pink, edged crisply in white and densely speckled with burgundy, creating a sense of depth and intensity. Some lilies are still held in elongated buds, tinged with green and soft rose, echoing a quiet sense of continuation and hope. Surrounding them, rich magenta gerbera daisies add bold splashes of colour, while creamy white roses and ruffled white carnations offer a gentle, traditional expression of sympathy and reverence. Fine sprays of tiny white daisy-like flowers are threaded throughout the arrangement, lending a cloud-like lightness that softens the transitions between the larger blooms. The flowers rest in a cradle of verdant foliage: broad, dark green leaves build a robust base, feathery fern fronds and delicate greenery soften the outline, and long, narrow leaves arc outward and downward, emphasising the cascading shape. The textures range from the smooth, almost waxy lilies to the velvety carnations and the glossy greenery, suggesting a bouquet that feels as luxurious to touch as it is calming to view. Imagined resting in a quiet church in Barnes or carried into a memorial gathering near Barnes Bridge, this hand-crafted spray reflects the sensitivity of local florists who understand the needs of grieving families. It is a considered, elegant choice for honouring a loved one and offering comfort across the Barnes and riverside community.
SPECIAL THOUGHTS SPRAY
£75.00
This elegant funeral spray, photographed against a crisp white background, forms a classic teardrop shape that widens into a lush, rounded top before gradually tapering to a slender, pointed tip. The design is dominated by soft pink roses, their petals unfolding in gentle spirals, some just beginning to open and others fully unfurled, revealing intricate layers in shades from delicate blush to warm rose pink. Between these roses, fluffy white carnations and spray carnations create little clouds of texture, their ruffled edges offering a gentle contrast in both form and tone. The flowers rest in a cradle of abundant greenery: glossy, dark green leaves provide a secure, structured base, while round, silvery-green eucalyptus leaves peek through, adding depth and a subtle suggestion of cool, cleansing fragrance, like the air along the paths of Barnes Common after rainfall. From the narrower end of the spray, fine strands of trailing ruscus spill elegantly outward, emphasizing the elongated silhouette and adding a sense of natural movement, as if the foliage were gently nodding in a soft breeze on the towpath near the river. The craftsmanship suggests a florist deeply familiar with creating sympathy tributes, each stem angled to maintain harmony and balance across the composition. This floral arrangement evokes warmth, dignity, and quiet sorrow, the kind of casket spray families in Barnes might choose for a church or cremation service when they wish to send a message of love, comfort, and lasting remembrance, expressed not in words but in soft pink and white blossoms framed by calming green.
IN YOUR HONOUR CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
In this image, a beautifully balanced sympathy spray in white and green is displayed against a pure white backdrop, all attention drawn to the graceful lines of the flowers. The arrangement flows diagonally from upper left to lower right, evoking the gentle curve of the river by Barnes Bridge. At its center, majestic white lilies dominate, some fully open to reveal wide, trumpet-shaped petals and delicate inner stamens, others still held in smooth, tapered buds that add elegant height. Nestled around the lilies are clusters of creamy white roses and soft, ruffled carnations, their layered petals creating a comforting, plush texture. Interspersed are white Gerbera-like blooms with tidy petals and faint cream or yellow centers, adding a clear, simple beauty to the design. Fine sprays of tiny white filler flowers thread through the main cluster, offering a slight shimmer and increasing the sense of fullness without heaviness. The flowers sit on a generous bed of foliage: glossy deep green leaves that anchor the spray, feathery fern for lightness, and muted eucalyptus leaves with their rounded, silvery green shapes that bring a cool, soothing note. At the top, long, narrow leaves are artfully folded and bound together, creating a neat vertical accent. From the lower right, slim palm fronds fan outwards in a dramatic sweep, defining the arrangement's elongated silhouette and adding movement. The overall effect is calm, elegant, and deeply respectful, well suited to a funeral service at a Barnes parish church, a remembrance gathering near the duck pond, or delivery to a family home as a thoughtful, comforting condolence gesture from a local florist.
SIMPLICITY SPRAY
£75.00
This stunning spray, designed by an artisan florist in Barnes, artfully combines tradition with the fresh energy of the area's riverside blooms and tree-lined avenues. Against a pure white background, the arrangement rises in a diagonal cascade, each element carefully composed for emotional impact and visual appeal. Majestic white trumpet lilies, some revealing vibrant yellow stamens and others in soft bud, create a sense of purity and stillness. Clusters of pink and deep fuchsia roses, their velvet petals swirling open, fill the bouquet with warmth and gentle remembrance. Patterned within the core are fluffy white spray carnations or similar dainty blossoms, adding delicate fullness and subtle texture. Among these classic flowers, lime-green santini chrysanthemums stand out, their rounded, moss-like forms introducing a playful modern twist, while gleaming red hypericum berries provide small, cheerful pops of colour. Lush, varied foliage supports every bloom-broad, glossy rounded leaves lend substantial structure as others shimmer in the gentle light. Feathered and palm-like fronds trail elegantly downward, amplifying the arrangement's sense of graceful movement, akin to the breezes drifting across Barnes Green or through the gardens of Castelnau. The balance of hues, forms, and textures creates an overall mood of quiet reverence and supportive care-ideal for expressing condolences or marking a meaningful tribute. This bouquet reflects the spirit of Barnes, bringing solace and heartfelt beauty to local memorial gatherings or home deliveries.

GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
GENTLE THOUGHTS SPRAY
£90.00
A dignified sympathy spray is laid out horizontally against a clean white background, its shape and colours clearly defined. On the left, the spray appears fuller and more mounded, then gradually narrows into a slender, trailing tip on the right, suggesting a gentle, almost river-like flow of flowers. Deep red roses rise from the foliage throughout the length of the design, their velvety petals tightly wrapped and full of depth, instantly drawing the eye. These crimson blooms are carefully interspersed with white carnations, whose soft, ruffled petals form rounded cushions of blossom that rest between the roses, lightening the overall feel and adding a sense of innocence and peace. Beneath and around the flowers, a generous layer of greenery forms the foundation of the piece. Broad, dark green leaves provide a sturdy, architectural base, their smooth, glossy surfaces catching the light. Woven through this are sprigs of silvery-green eucalyptus, adding a cooler tone, refined texture, and a subtle, fresh scent that seems to lift the arrangement. From the right-hand side, more delicate, trailing stems of light green foliage extend beyond the main body of the spray, creating a soft, cascading edge that feels natural and unforced. The combination of red, white, and varied greens gives the arrangement a formal, timeless appearance, perfectly suited for a funeral or memorial in Barnes, perhaps placed beside a casket at a service near Barnes Pond or in one of the leafy local churches. It is a floral tribute that communicates respect, remembrance, and heartfelt goodbye when words are hard to find.
FOREVER BELOVED CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
An elongated sympathy spray featuring deep red roses and delicate berries lies diagonally across a stark white background, the simplicity of the setting allowing every colour and contour to be appreciated. The bound stems at the upper left are neatly wrapped with a wide strip of glossy green leaf, forming a smooth grip and a visually pleasing start to the composition. From this anchor point, the spray extends in a long, gentle arc towards the lower right, tapering as it goes, in the familiar teardrop shape so often chosen for funerals and memorials. Rich red roses line the central length of the design, some still in tight bud form and others opening to reveal layers of velvety petals that suggest devotion and long-cherished memories. Between these roses, clusters of small coral and soft pink Hypericum berries introduce a lighter note, their rounded forms bringing fine texture and a hint of warmth. The arrangement rests on a foundation of broad, dark green leaves that overlap generously, their glossy surfaces reflecting light and providing a deep, supportive backdrop. Feather-like palm fronds and finer greens fan outwards, particularly towards the lower right, adding a sense of movement and softness around the more solid core of roses. The effect is both traditional and gently contemporary, with clear, sculpted lines and balanced proportions. This is the kind of floral tribute a family in Barnes might select for a service at a local church or crematorium, or for a farewell near Barnes Common, a composed and respectful arrangement that speaks in the quiet language of flowers when words can feel too heavy.
EVERLASTING LIGHT SPRAY
£75.00
The photograph shows a serene, white funeral spray arranged in a gentle diagonal, beginning in a full, rounded mound at the upper left and tapering into a slender, graceful point at the lower right. At the heart of the design, white and soft ivory roses cluster together, each one distinct: some are still modest buds, others half-open, and many are fully blossomed, their spiralling petals opening in perfect concentric layers. They sit closely intertwined with tufts of white carnations, whose frilled, cloud-like texture offers a soft contrast to the smoother rose petals, creating a rich interplay of shapes and surfaces. These blooms rise from a base of mixed greenery, where broad, deep green leaves provide structure and muted, silvery eucalyptus adds a cool sheen between the flowers. From the tapered end of the spray, slender stems of trailing greenery extend outward, cascading lightly and accentuating the elongated, teardrop form. The entire arrangement is set against a bright white background under even, diffused light, so every detail-from the veins in the leaves to the subtle shading on each petal-is clearly visible without distraction. This timeless design feels especially suited to a farewell in Barnes, perhaps resting atop a casket in a local church near Castelnau or carried gently into a quiet service close to the Thames. The pure white and green palette speaks of peace, remembrance, and gentle farewell, a considered tribute crafted by an experienced local florist to comfort grieving families and honour a loved one's memory with quiet grace.
DIVINE GRACE CASKET SPRAY
£160.00
HEAVENS LIGHT SPRAY
HEAVEN'S LIGHT SPRAY
£70.00
This image presents a beautifully detailed funeral spray designed in a soft teardrop shape, resting against a clean white background that accentuates its gentle colours. At the broader, upper part of the spray, an abundance of soft pink roses forms a lush focal area. Their petals, layered in tight spirals and loose curls, range from pale blush to light peach-pink, catching subtle highlights and shadows that reveal their velvety texture. Interwoven among the roses are smaller, ruffled pink carnations, whose compact, frilled blooms add volume and a comforting, cushion-like feel to the tribute. The flowers are carefully arranged to create a natural flow down the length of the spray, gradually narrowing as they reach the tapered tip at the lower right. Rich, dark green foliage surrounds and cradles the blooms: broad, ovate leaves underpin the composition, giving weight and grounding, while more slender stems and fringed greenery soften the edges and extend lightly beyond the flowers, suggesting quiet movement. The pastel blossoms and deep greens together create a tranquil palette, reminiscent of a calm early morning by the Thames in Barnes, when the light is soft and the air still. This sympathy spray is crafted to lie flat, making it ideal for resting on a casket or adorning a memorial service table in a local church or funeral home. The overall mood evoked is one of solace, respect, and gentle farewell, as if the arrangement were silently offering comfort to those gathered, each rose a symbol of cherished moments and each leaf a small gesture of support.

PINK ROSES
PINK ROSES SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
£90.00
Photographed against a pristine white backdrop, this elongated red floral spray has a gentle, forward-flowing shape, as if it were designed to rest gracefully atop a casket or as a prominent tribute at the front of a chapel. At the core, sumptuous red roses dominate, their petals satin-smooth and gently curling inward, arranged at different stages of opening so that buds, half-open blooms, and full roses mingle together to create natural movement. Nestled beside them are full-headed red carnations whose compact, frilled petals add a plush, almost quilted texture, contrasted by flat, circular red gerbera daisies with darker centres that stand out like focal points in the design. Threads of fine white filler flowers meander through the red, introducing subtle highlights and lending the whole spray an airy, layered feel. A wide, glossy red satin ribbon is tied into a generous bow near the top, its polished sheen catching the light; the ribbon's long tails trail down through the flowers, guiding the eye along the length of the arrangement and underscoring the strong red theme. Encircling the blooms is a foundation of rich greenery, with long palm leaves extending outward in sweeping arcs, backed by smaller, darker green leaves and delicate fern fronds that fill any gaps and give the piece depth. The combination of bold colour, lush texture, and flowing form creates a tribute that feels both passionate and composed. Crafted with the care you'd expect from a local Barnes florist, it could easily be imagined at a memorial near Barnes Common or by the quiet streets off Church Road, offering comfort and respect in every petal.

£120.00
SINCERITY SPRAY
SINCERITY SPRAY
£70.00
Set against a flawless white background, this long, lush casket spray stretches diagonally like a gentle path of colour and memory. The central focus is on several striking red Oriental lilies, their large, star-shaped petals opening wide, richly coloured and slightly speckled, bringing drama and depth to the design. Surrounding these focal lilies are numerous roses in shades of ivory, cream, blush pink, and soft lavender, each bloom at a different stage-some in tight bud, others loosely open, and a few fully unfurled-creating a sense of unfolding stories and cherished moments. Pale pink carnations, with their soft, frilled petals, fill the gaps between the roses, giving the arrangement a plush, cushion-like texture. Dotted among the larger blooms are small white chrysanthemums and daisy-style flowers, their bright centres offering gentle points of light and purity. Sprigs of blue-purple thistles and fine clusters of lavender-blue filler flowers, such as statice or veronica, thread through the composition, adding cool contrast and intricate texture against the warmer reds and pinks. All of this rests on a rich bed of greenery: broad, glossy leaves, delicate fern-like fronds, and trailing stems curve outward and downward, enhancing the elongated, flowing outline. The lighting is even and clear, highlighting every petal and leaf without shadow. Imagined in Barnes, this spray could adorn a coffin in a church near the High Street or accompany a service by the river, its fragrance of lilies and roses offering comfort to mourners. Created with care by the florists at Barnes Flowers, it speaks quietly of respect, remembrance, and gentle healing.
