Captured from directly above, this elegant, perfectly symmetrical round bouquet reads as a study in white and cream textures, composed against a seamless white background that accentuates each petal's form. Several large white oriental lilies dominate the scene with their wide, open petals and discernible stamens and pistils, showing soft green and pale yellow tones at the center that add depth to the luminous petals. Intermingled among these lilies are compact clusters of cream-coloured roses, most kept in a poised bud stage or gently opening so their concentric petals form a tactile, velvety mass. Sprays of tiny white Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) thread throughout the arrangement, acting like delicate lace that both separates and unifies the larger blooms, giving the bouquet a cloud-like, breathable quality. A handful of glossy green leaves peek out at the perimeter, offering crisp definition and a cooling colour counterpoint to the ivory palette. Soft, even lighting renders the textures subtly - the lilies' smooth sheen, the roses' matte velvet and the wispy airiness of the gypsophila - inviting the imagination to feel the petals and sense the blended perfume typical of fresh-cut lilies and roses. This composition is timeless and versatile, conceived with the kind of thoughtful rhythm favoured by florists serving East Sheen and neighbouring Mortlake: equally fitting as a bridal posy walked through Sheen churches, an understated celebration bouquet for an anniversary on Sheen Lane, or a respectful sympathy arrangement delivered to a nearby private home. The arrangement conveys classic elegance, expert hand-tying, and a quiet confidence in design.

A large, pristine white floral bouquet photographed from a top-down, aerial perspective against a clean white background, presented as a perfectly rounded hand-tied posy. At the centre and radiating outward are several broad-petalled white oriental lilies, their softly curving trumpets revealing pale yellow stamens and the faintest hint of green at their throats. Nestled between and beneath those lilies are clusters of creamy ivory roses, most kept in tight buds or just beginning to unfurl so their velvety, layered petals form a soft, pillowy texture. Scattered like fine, snowy confetti throughout the arrangement are delicate sprays of white Baby's Breath (Gypsophila), lending an airy, cloud-like softness that fills every small space and lightens the overall silhouette. A few vibrant green leaves peek from the perimeter, their glossy blades offering a fresh, cool contrast to the monochrome blooms and defining the circular outline of the bouquet. The lighting is soft and even, giving the petals a luminous, almost translucent quality that suggests early-morning or gentle studio light. The combined scents are subtle in the photograph - the sweet, heady perfume of roses balanced by the clean, slightly spicy note of the lilies - conjuring feelings of calm, celebration, and reverence. This composition reads as timeless and versatile: ideal for a bridal bouquet carried down the aisle in a local East Sheen church, a serene centerpiece for a christening near Sheen Common, or a refined sympathy tribute delivered to a Mortlake residence. The craftsmanship is precise and considered, reflecting the hands of a practiced florist who values texture, balance, and understated elegance.

This classic round posy features smooth white roses, elegant white lilium and delicate gypsophila, creating a soft, cloud-like effect that feels almost heavenly. Perfect as a thoughtful tribute for a funeral, memorial service or to send condolences, its timeless white flowers symbolise purity, respect and compassion.

Available in Original, Deluxe and Grand sizes (Grand size pictured), the Compassion Posy is carefully handcrafted by our expert florists in East Sheen. Approximate dimensions: Original 28cm (11"), Deluxe 30cm (12"), Grand 36cm (14"). To ensure your flowers last longer, some stems may arrive in bud so you can enjoy watching them open.

We leave natural guard petals on our roses to protect the inner blooms during transit; simply remove these outer petals on arrival for the perfect finish. As some flowers are seasonal, we may substitute blooms with similar varieties of equal or superior quality, colour and style. Thoughtful, elegant and beautifully made, the Compassion Posy is an ideal choice when words are not enough.

    Funerals are part of life but they are rarely expected. I stumbled on this site when helping a friend with ideas for funeral posies. When we placed an order, they did not disappoint. It feels good to know you have a place to turn in times of dire need.

    I always thought ordering flowers online was kind of risky, however Handy Flowers proved to be very reliable and loyal company. Absolutely worth giving them a try no matter what the occasion is.
